Shemelts
Right off the bat your doctor is talking out of her ass! As my Aunt would say "lose the loser". I had a doctor exactly like yours and she was only willing to rx the pill. She had been a very supportive doctor to me for years so it was hard but I left her and went to three other doctors before I finally got proper treatment. You need metformin most likely I would say.
I also tried CAD but found it made me crave and be hungry plus I only lost 7lbs so I stopped it. Perhaps it may work for you though, if not I would highly reccomend the insulin resistance diet. I am also in a similar position to you in that all I've ever wanted is to be a singer. I write my own songs, but how many pop stars do you see that are 168lbs? I fear I will never be able to realise my dream either because of this.
I don' think your career can be over btw because when ( note the word when!) you get back to your original weight you can surely dance in musicals and in videos no? Or are you a ballet dancer?
Your problem seems to be you need metformin ( many women do nothing but gain without it or cannot lose), the right diet and a good doctor. Here is the link to a list of PCOS doctors in New York
