Jillian Michaels and PCOS?
Does she fit your description of someone with PCOS? For many, maybe not. Although the typical woman with PCOS is overweight, there is a proportion who aren’t.
We often view celebrities as if they are unaffected, exquisite beings, without a care in the world or a health challenge in sight. But this, of course, is untrue. Celebrities plucking chin hairs, waxing body parts, and undergoing laser treatments. Being embarrassed by their bodies. Fighting weight gain and trying – hope against hope – to boost ovulation and conceive a baby.
I remember when Jillian Michaels was crucified for saying, when asked about having babies, that she “didn’t want to put her body through that.” Many jumped to the conclusion that this meant she didn’t want to put on weight or ruin her figure. What a judgment from the world, and what a difficult time this must have been for her.
However, the blessing for us is that she explained why and came out about her syndrome. Jillian Michaels and PCOS? Yes.
Her journey to motherhood includes the path to adoption. Read more about this inspiring woman in the Redbook article, Jillian Michaels Gets Personal About Her Biggest Dream Yet.
The more folks with PCOS who speak up about PCOS, the less stigma we all will face. The more we realise that we are not, by any stretch of the imagination, alone.
