Who are the celebrities with PCOS? Part 2

Don't tell me you came here because you were finding information on celebrities with PCOS.


Since starting this blog, I took the occasional peep at the counter and never failed to find people coming here because they were looking for information about celebrities with PCOS. Celebrities rumoured to have PCOs include:

and a few others. Yes, Victoria Beckam aka Posh Spice, the lighter than feather mum of a few kids.


I guess it is normal. I did that too. Googling for celebs with PCOS. I guess I did not want to feel alone, and hopelessly fat and ugly. If celebs have PCOS, hmm, I might see a Cyster who is thin, and perhaps even very "productive"?


To confess, I dont only look out for celebs. Sometimes I look at photos and think.. "hmm.. I think she has it. I do that on trains too.


I do that in the office, of course! I can tell which of my colleagues definitely has PCOS.
How?


1) skin - dead give away - pimples and tiny "hairs"
2) what they eat & how much they exercise vs what they weight
3) that 4 o'clock dash "to make tea/coffee" 0r "grab a cookie"
4) where the weight piles on, despite the diet, and the gym. If you notice that they pile on weight around the middle once they "slack" for 1-2 weeks...


Anyway. I have found an "idol" now. My colleague who never fails to "go for a walk" during lunch, eat only salads/sushi for lunch, goes to gym after work "a couple of times a week". She has a body to die for, and good skin. She is MY MOTIVATION. A look at her and I stop myself from grabbing that biscuit at 4pm!

p/s: This colleague indeed has PCOS, and she now has a 4 month old lovely baby girl after a long try.

My pants getting loose?

After a couple of days in the country side, hiking, and climbing some hills, I noticed that I had some extra space in my pants.

Woo hooo!!!! Worth the extra pimples and worsening skin.

I was so happy, that I did not even dare to weigh myself. Hahaa. What if the weighing scale says "no change", or worse still "going up?"

Anyway, the joy was short lived. After a lunch of curry (I am bad!!!), I was so bloated, that my waistband of my usually loose and frilly skirt cut my protruding belly into two. Urgh. Sigh....
I made sure I suck my tummy IN all the way back in the train. I have been mistaken to be pregnant for at least 3 times in the past month??
