Never give up!!! Here is my story....

My whole life I have struggled with my weight. As a kid I was always the biggest kid in class, not just weight but my height too. People at one time thought I'd be a basketball player due to how much taller I was than most kids. After 12 I never grew again... making me a whole 5 foot 2 inches�. When I hit teen years I thinned out fast losing about 50 pounds of what the doctors called my baby fat. From 14-18 I would struggle with my size I noticed I gained a little more weight each year not much but some. By age 15 unlike most girls I had still not gone through puberty. We figured it was a late bloomer situation, my mom started at 17 years old. Couple years went by and at 18 I was 190 pounds. I felt horrible about my size. I got married at 19 and with in 1 year of marriage I had gained another 100 pounds. By two years into marriage I was over 400 pounds. People would suggest diets and say eat less, not knowing that I was starving myself already trying to lose this weight that came out of no where. I started having bad depression and anxiety along with seizures. What was wrong with me!?!?? I finally got on yahoo answers and started asking questions explaining what was going on. After 2 years in my marriage and 250 or more pounds gained I had an answer. I was told to look into PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) I had testing and blood work done and sure enough I had it. The symptoms were

-Hair loss from your scalp and/or hair growth (hirsutism) in unexpected places

-Oily skin and acne problems

-Infertility (ovulation problems) or repeat miscarriages

-Weight gain, especially around your waist

-Menstrual problems

-Depression and/or mood swings

- Diabetes

-Being tired all the time

-Unable to lose weight

-Sleeping issues

-and the list goes on and on

These are the symptoms that I live with daily. I got to a point I was unable to even get out of bed, I was depressed and overweight. Many times I was so confused asking god why me? How did this happy, where did it come from? After 5 years of being miserable I started to try everything possible to lose weight... nothing worked. I got to the point I was starving myself to lose. I remember a time I drank only milk for three weeks and never ate to lose. I lost but it came all right back. After a diet for FIVE years I had lost 60 pounds. I still had a long ways to go. The last two years I've been on paleo and keto diets and I have lost now over 250 pounds. I still have 50 to lose but I'm doing it. The goal was to never give up and I never did. I still struggle with my symptoms but I took on PCOS full force. So no I didn't get married and let myself go, no I didn't eat a lot, I wasn't lazy, all the things people thought I did. I had a medical issue. I may struggle for life but I will never stop fighting it! That's my story
