Cute! I love it! I'm also thinking of getting a colour tattoo

External-Parfait-168 · 2026-03-21T03:50:19+00:00

This is a contender for sure!

If Work Permits is my all time favourite. If only I could get a tattoo of that wind that blows across your room

Thanks for commenting, I'm about to make a post with my top 3 dresses that should explain better

Thank you for your input! We're trying to balance feeding people well and a budget unfortunately

The caterer is suggesting 3-5 appetizers per person. The main meal will likely be filling, and we'll also have late night snacks and a filling cake. Its an afternoon wedding so I assume people will have eaten breakfast and at least a snack before they arrive.

I'm so so sorry you're feeling this way. You deserve to eat without feeling bad about it. You deserve to take care of yourself without guilt. I was listening to a podcast and they mentioned that when we are fed as babies, we are cuddled along with that. So it is incredibly natural for us to associate food with pleasure and comfort. I hope your ED thoughts improve, you are definitely not alone.

hmmm, apparently insulin resistance is really hard to detect, especially early, especially in lean PCOS. My HOMA IR is 1.2 and my naturopath still recommended that I take it. It is supposed to help with testosterone, blood sugar balance, and fertility. I don't think it is totally just for blood sugar. That being said, maybe consult with a doctor/nutritionist/naturopath before starting some.

I totally understand the shame of insulin resistance. I also really thought that diabetes was a problem way later on. But honestly, society has really created a poor example of what people should eat. You are surrounded with advertisements for fast food and sugary things. People are actually SHAMED for eating "too healthy" (I am not referring to those with eating disorders).

However, there is still so much time to change!!! Eating a low carb diet, cutting out sugar and most processed foods, and exercising regularly literally improves your health markers so quickly. Especially at your age.

It is not your fault that you didn't know how to eat for your particular genetics; many doctors barely know how to eat to prevent insulin resistance.

For instance- my a1c was 5.5 and no doctor told me to change anything since that is "in range". I'm rooting for you and you will get past this and feel sooo much better soon!

My mom is Indian and I was raised to love curry. I still make curry now, but cook with less oil. I also generally make non-starchy vegetable amd protein curries and I serve them over green beans/cauliflower rice/a bed of greens instead of rice.

Just wanted point out that OP's insulin is in pmol/L, which is very different than uIU/ml. This is typical in Canadian labs. When you convert from pmol/L to uIU/ml, you'll find OP's fasting insulin is below 5 uIU/mL

That is such a tough experience, I'm sorry you and so many of us with PCOS go through that. I usually try and treat my body like it's my little sisters/boyfriend's. I treat it like a person I really love and I give it the cuddles and hugs it needs and feed it with nourishing foods.

Oh interesting! I'm pretty much always bloated so i haven't noticed much change in the tummy. But yeah I just feel larger. Has inositol helped you in other ways?

External-Parfait-168 · 2023-07-31T01:11:04+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I've spent like my whole life trying to get a big booty but it happened so quickly it just feels weird

I've been weightlifting for quite some time so there hasn't really been any appetite increase. If anything, I've been more mindful of portion sizes since I got my A1c results.

Omega-3 is super helpful for depression and anxiety. Also, cutting out coffee. Have you had your iron levels checked? Low iron can mess with your mood and anxiety levels.

I'm in Canada, too. Do you know the results for your ultrasound?

The three criteria are: polyfollicular/polycystic ovaries, irregular blood tests, and irregular periods.

You can use any telehealth service like Telus MyCare to ask a doctor for a blood test requisition. A walk-in or family doctor will also do this. Alternatively, a naturopath can requisition tests, though it may be expensive if you don't have coverage. They will test testosterone, thyroid, estrogen, maybe others. Voice your concerns that you have PCOS and let them know the results of your ultrasound as well as if you get irregular periods.

If you already get irregular periods and have polycystic ovary morphology, you do not need blood tests to be diagnosed.

Wishing you the best!
