have you tried seeking medical advice? Ask your doc about treating your hirsutism (excess hair growth) - I'm sure they'll find ways to treat your hormonal imbalance. As you may know, this is due to your PCOS.

Obesity can be caused by PCOS, but don't give up trying.. Try eating less food but moretimes in the day.. ie: instead of 3 big meals eat 4-6 mini meals. To make sure you lose weight, try to expend mroe than you take in - i know it sounds trivial, but it's worth to make a point.be Active in life. It is recommended to walk briskly at least 30mins a day 4x a week. That can be 3 x 10min walks.. the effect accumulates.

I hope I helped, and hopefully will get another Singhni with PCOS to talk to you about it

And Smile.. it's a good feeling pleaseeeee

you've probably seen doctors no doubt. but try meeting with a registered dietician to get a proper diet set up for you that will minimise the problems and help you deal with the weight issue. doctors generally know very little about nutrition as that is not their area of expertise.

also, start an exercise program that includes weightlifting. see someone who is a specialist, they will help you.

it may be expensive, but when you consider the benefit that you may gain out of all this, you'll see how it is an excellent investment.

As for the hair, i realise it's tempting to get laser treatment etc. But in sikh dharm the hair is regarded as waheguru's gift to us, to all humanity not just amritdhari's. when i first got amritchuk i used to have long nose hair. it made me feel very insecure, singhni's deal with facial hair, i'm singh who dealt with long nose hair - trust me people think that's much worse!! but i did my nitnem everyday, it made me stronger.

i noticed that doing sangat with sikhs made me care less about these things, doing sangat with others made me feel insecure. mostly though, it was doing paath that made me feel stronger, made me care less. it's not an issue for me anymore.

keep doing sangat with sikhs who support you, if you don't know anyone (just like i didn't for years), than go to the gurdwara and sit in darbar sahib. the guru is always with you. and the people there, regardless of wether or not you know there names, are your sangat.

you can always pm me if you want.

I respect you and everythink, but im sorry you cannot post something like this on a SIKH forum. When sikhi clearly forbids removal of the hair. Its nice that you;ve taken your time to reply to the original poster but please use gurmat principles to help her. She seems pretty down, even though shes havin the laser treatment. Which suggests...she nees to follow another route.....

2 things:

1. you are not the supreme authority of what's forbidden and whats not

2. Sikhi isn't black and white, as you seem to assume a lot of times

wjkk wjkf

:umm: erm, and ur not so supreme urself. all she said was the truth.... and duhh cutting/removing kes is strictly forbidden!

Penji I am really sorry to hear ure problems. In some aspects you are very lucky. You have found out early... Also ure condition is very common so u will meet and know other ppl who have it too!

Data shows that 30% of people have PCOS. So out of every 10 thats 3. Stay positive and I hope things work out. xx
