Hello 3fatchicks communit! I'm glad that I've finally decided to join because let's face it, this world is tough.
Whenever I've encountered any health problems, a solution with some community support is always on here; so I figured I'd join!
A bit about myself: I'm Pacific Islander about 180lbs and have PCOS. Among many things, I have always had embarrassing insulin resistance which has physical symptoms such as DARK SKIN under the armpits, all around the neck, under the breasts, elbows and some other places -- there are also skin tags.
It really lowers the self-esteem at times and definitely limits what you can wear!
It's always been confusing to me because I've been "athletic" but all my weight is stored in my stomach. I'm what you'd call "apple shaped" and it definitely does not compliment my toned and muscular legs!
Overall, I have been checking in with doctors and I'm looking for some change. Change in diet, change in attitude and just change all over!
For starters I have ALLI and Metformin and birth control -- all hoping that things will internally begin to regulate and alleviate physical problems.
I hope to hear from you all, and especially am open to anyone who would like to get to know me!
Hoping for some change and some support!
Good luck!
