I hate being carb sensitive with PCOS!!!! Rant from journal......

[Scarlet]

*************RANT WARNING****************

I am not feeling good. Why is my body so sensitive? Other people like my bf can go for hours without food, never think about food, never get cravings, can subsist on carb laden food and be fine. Whereas me I don't eat my dinner properly one day so end up having burger and fries later that evening. Then that messes up my body for the next few days. I look at other people who can eat what they want when they want and their body doesn't give them cravings or illogical hunger or anything.

I hate PCOS! I hate insulin reistance! I hate that I knew nothing about carbs as a child and teenager so overdid them and now can't tolerate them at all. Why is my body so sensitive?

I mean what if I lived in a country where there are only really carbs available like India or something? Would I turn into a crazy person without my protein like I feel like today? What if we ran outta meat?

I've got a substandard body.

When the human body was created I have to say it was very inefficient, imagine if you had to fill your car with pertol like every 3 to 4 hours? Well that's what my and many other humans bodies are like............ What a load of crap..........

I hate my stupid, inefficient, blood sugar issues body! And it doesn't help being around my bf who is like what a normal person is like. His insulin is obviously made of steel, he can go for hours without food and it doesn't bother him. Makes me realise how crap my body is.... stupid I.R.

I've got another point of view for you to consider. Throughout human history, there have been periodic famines. When women become too skinny - too low in body fat - they stop menstruating and can no longer have babies. So, women who could retain body fat on very little food had an advantage: we could still have babies even during a famine. However it started, we ended up being maybe 10% of the female population.

It's true that the PCOS traits that helped keep the humans going in long famines - being able to support some body fat on a handful of food - are a real hassle in modern times of plenty. I totally agree with you there. :rolleyes:
But it's not a substandard body, it's a highly evolved body.

Thanks Ysabella!

It's not so much the weight issue that bothers me so much as I am losing well, it's just I hate that I have to eat regularly and that if I eat carbs my body reacts so badly to them. I'd just love to be one of those people who never thinks about food and doesn't get hungry much or have any emotional issues around food.

WOW!! I can totally relate. I have PCOS as well, and carbs do terrible things to me! It sucks!

I know I didn't really offer any help, but I just wanted you to know you aren't alone. :)

I don't have PCOS terribly bad, but carbs do effect me now that I'm on a low carb diet. I crave sugar A LOT and if I'm eating out and have to take my buns off of the burger, I stare those buns down and want to shove them in my mouth. I don't really know what stops me. Its bad really, my heart beat gets faster and everything. Weird. I'm not really upset about my PCOS, just kind of think its unfair (so does my fiance.. Hope he doesn't leave me later if I can't have babies!).
