Wake up! Something is wrong!

I made my appointment and went in for a PAP Smear for the first time in oh about 6yrs.  We talked I told her about the weight gain and the issues.  Also explained what I was told over and over again.  I told her I think there is something seriously wrong with my insides.  She looked up from her tablet...and really looked at me.

If you are not overweight, please understand we are not all disgusting or dirty.  There are some us that actually are very cautious about what we wear, what we look like and anything else.  However there are some out there that can not look past the fat and see the person behind it.  I am not saying I am the healthy fat person in the world....I know better.  But under this weight is still a kind loving person that can hurt by a look or words just as any size 0 can.  I have never had a doctor look at me the way she did.  I saw her concern.  I saw her anger at those other doctors.  She said yes there as to be.  And a series of the same questions, thyroid - no, diabetes - no....well then there has to be something.  That day...YES THAT VERY DAY she sent me off for so many test I thought I would have to have more blood given to me.  After the test we sat down to talk.  I told her I knew it was not just me being fat.  Then again she looked at me.  And said honey I am sorry to tell you this but you are fat and we need to take care of that too.  I told her I understood, but gaining almost 250 lbs in 2 yrs time there is something really wrong. 

Results:  Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome
English:  There are cysts all over my ovaries that are comprised up of sugar.  So much like diabetes my body does not handle the process of sugar very well.  It is not as life threatening as diabetes can be, but still jacks up your system.

These cyst were causing my ovaries to not function as they should.  Hence no baby!  So she got me on some meds that really helped, I did loose some weight but not a drop in the bucket to how much I had gained.  She sat me down and talked to me again about my alternatives to weight loss.  I could go hard core on the exercise and eating better or I can try something else.  I was up for anything.
