PCOS Support Group?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

I’m thinking about starting one of these on my own. I’m going to write a tiny article in the newspaper, to advertise,then have a meeting place, where I’ll give the girls lunch or something, and we can sit around and tell our stories to each other. I think hearing stories from others who are going through the same thing, would help me alot. Sound like a neat idea? I got the idea from a PCOS website, and I thought it was an awesome idea!
I want to know how many there are out there with PCOS, and I want to give them the support they need/deserve!
I just feel so alone sometimes, none of my family understands,and I have no friends, or know of anyone..yet..in my area that has PCOS.
Have any of you attended a support group, and what did you get out of it? I’m really not into the online support too well, I want to meet actual human beings! !
Happy humpday!

Sounds like a great idea! I do not have PCOS, but did participate in a Mind/Body Support group for women going through fertility treatments. It was an amazing experience and the best thing that I did while dealing with infertility.

We met for about 2 hours every week. The first 30 minutes was devoted to chit-chat about where we were and anything that we wanted to share. The remaining 90 minutes focused on techniques to handle stress. We learned about different forms of meditation, yoga, had a nutrionist as a guest speaker, a counselor to talk about how to talk to the people in your life about what you are going through and even had a couple’s day because as much as we were struggling . . . our partner’s were struggling, too.

Good luck and baby dust!

i need to sugar-detox..tips?sick of feeling like this!!?

Monday, February 8th, 2010

i neeeed to detox from sugar, im 23 and i prob have a coupl of choc bars a day and 2 or more fizzy drinks a day. i constantly feel bloated and gross and people think im pregnant! im just sick of feeling heavy and bloated. im not huge though..im 160cm tall and 61kg,an Australian size 10 (the doc said i should be 55kg )
Ive alwatys had a podgey belly (at age 18 i burst in2 tears at a liquor shop when being told by the lady in the line behing me "i shouldnt be drinking in my condition" and back then i was only 53kg.
My job ion retail is often quiet and all the girls will say "choccy time" my body is scheduled to it and believes it cant get thru the day without it.I make excuses to myself "need it today cos its monday, need it today cos its wednesday and humpday, need it thursday to last late night trading, need it friday to get me thru the last day" and thats nerly every day lol.
Ive always thought i need to diet but couldnt stick to it but today had an epiphany i dont need to diet, just get off the sugar to start. Any tips, i feel like an addict who needs a crack fix a day!!

eat diabetic chocolate- has sugar substitute?
or have something like a biscuit instead of a choccie bar, that will ween you off gradually until you can say replace it with a nice fruit salad or something.
For the drinks- try a fruit cordial instead of fizzy drink.
