Hello Jenny - don't apologize at all! I am here to let it out and in return, I am ready to read whatever someone else would share with me regardless of whether I know them or not. I'm not in the UK. I'm in the Philippines. Isn't it amazing that despite where we come from, we all have common emotions?

I'm so sorry about your miscarriages. I don't think the sadness can match anything I've ever encountered. I think depression doesn't really have a rational reason. Probably some negative thoughts and insecurities that we keep ignoring all our lives subconsciously cause it. And maybe it is the same with me and I use the inability to lose weight as an excuse?

Anyway, about your miscarriages, I would like to share my aunt's experience. She has had seven miscarriages, all of them when the pregnency stage was well above its 5th month! It wasn't due to PCOS or anything but something else she got solved and after the seventh miscarriage, she went through three very, very difficult pregnencies and is now a proud mother of three beautiful kids. To date, she remembers and wonders how the seven babies that were never born, are doing in heaven, where they are, etc. But still, the point is she never gave up.

I know the 'never give up' strategy is something you and I should use in weight loss too because it's very difficult and easier said than done. I really don't think Ihave PCOS. My facial hair is gone after laser treatment and also, I've never missed my period. It's always on time, not very painful either. I don't have acne or dark skin patches that PCOS patients normally have.

The worst problem I face is I eat when I'm not hungry! And I never tend to feel full!

Your friend's very strong. I'm sure she feels and looks great. I wish her all the luck. Take care and thanks a lot of reading. It really helps.
