My hormones wreak havoc on my body- not to the extent some PCOS sufferers have but it's enough to hit my self esteem on my bad days so I completely understand.
Everyone has the right to exist in the body they're in and everyone has the right to change their body if they want. Let people live. Redefine your standards of beauty because it says more about you that you're beholden to them than it says about those who shirk them.
I have PCOS and it is a horrible chronic illness. Hers is worse than mine buy I also have to struggle with facial and body hair.
I just bought my first bikini for a trip with my daughter to Mexico. i am currently the biggest i have ever been at 5’3” and just over 300lbs. I struggle with PCOS, Fibromyalgia, POTS and Schizoaffective disorder and take numerous meds that cause weight gain. i have decided to not get weight loss surgery and am currently on a journey to love my body as it is. programs like this and all of these brave individuals help so much!!!!
The "journey to love (your) body as it is" is nothing but a copout. You are giving yourself permission to remain dangerously obese because you don't want to do the necessary work that is required to lose the excess weight. I have PCOS and fibromyalgia and have made it a priority to eat less and exercise more, which is still the best formula for weight loss.
My stomach looks just like hers. Mine is a little bit worse but I have never wore a bikini after having my son. He was almost 9 pounds when he was born and he will be 11 this year
My dear brother-in-law passed away at the age of 43 due to being overweight. He fought overweight all his life without success, even though he was a very successful and influential person in all the people around him, but his body betrayed him in the end. I hope society shifts from a superficial and indifferent view of the lives of these wonderful people to support, acceptance and help.
I know what you mean and I'm guilty myself of judging others or feeling shocked when someone is really big like 600 pounds and I myself have been struggling to lose 70 lbs 🥺 2 years ago I lost the whole 70 exactly then a year later I gained it all back 😔 I'm devastated, I am female 5'3 and 260 lbs .. please pray for me 🙏💙🕊️
The body positive movement is literally killing people
Novas case is so relatable. She's correct not all pcos cases are similar. Some have extreme body hair and gain and others aren't bigger but do get the hair (they remove it), others don't get the excess hair just the fertility issues. Just depends
Victoria Beckham has it. Go figure.
@@marilynvallance had no idea either. I wonder if thats part of what triggered anorexia
I thought Angie was so beautiful. I would love to be around her and gain some of her motivation to start working out again. Build each other up. I feel like she has a lot to teach.
Health is the most important thing, and looks come third after personal character.
Amen to that!
I've had body issues since I turned 50. Believe me - nobody wants to see this body anymore. 3 kids and I am now 64.
Nova, if you read these comments, please get yourself checked for Cushing's disease (a pituitary tumor). You have some textbook symptoms.
If anyone makes fun or ridicules Angie, she should say "I've lost 200+ pounds. What have YOU done?!"
Thats why people should be more kind. It takes time lose weight. Theres multiple reasons to have an issue with it. So...dont like dont look, right?
For sure, it's he best comeback line.
One word to describe Angie.... COURAGE!
The black guy in the intro with a white patch on his face is so beautiful
It's called vitiligo.
Thanks for for sharing your stories and showing the real women look after childbirth we are all different thank you
Sending my love all the way from Zimbabwe Africa.i want to say to Angie you have an amazing body .stay confident ...you are definitely an Inspiration...xoxo
I have PCOS and could grow a goatee but by changing my diet to a full plant based diet with no processed foods,no sugar. I only eat fruit and vegetables nothing else and no longer have facial hair. No medicine no lasers just completely changing my diet
Are you getting protein from beans, lentils and other things? Exactly what i commented its possible to lose weight and make PCOS better with dedication and sacrifice.
Same, whole foods, solely plant based diet has been healing for my PCOS symptoms. I had a gynecologist state that she presumes I am lying about having a normal cycle because of my "symptoms" that are still present.... people cannot fathom this!!! But we're proof of it!!!
@@moonafarms1621 wow that doc is rude. So sorry.
too much fruit isn't good for pcos
I’m living proof that a plant based diet not directed by conventional doctors who have 25 hours education when it comes to nutrition works for heart disease, fibromyalgia and PCOS. Fruit is not the enemy it’s all the processed foods people call food that’s the problem
You have to do specific exercises to reduce DR; hers is severe, but she could get it closer to what it was. Some of the abs exercises she was doing only increases it.
These people show that they are winners as they overcome physical challenges.
This is the sweetest scene. ❤ 14:06
You're beautiful Outside & Inside
Yuck!
The music is too loud. It drowns out the narrator.
Beautiful! God bless
I have PCOS. It sucks. It also leads to Diabetes Type2. It's weight, it's fertility issues, it's facial hair, it's surgery (to remove ovarian cysts that grow too large), it's head-hair loss, it's irregular periods .... Each woman is different. For me, the facial hair is the worst, and it's not as bad as Nova's.
I got laser hair removal and it’s way better
@@VM-wt3ti I'm not sure that can be done after hair turns gray/ white. Do you know?
@@rebeccav9969I read this, “Electrolysis can permanently remove unwanted hair. Once your hair is gone, you won't need maintenance treatments. It works on all hair types, including light-colored hairs, which lasers cannot remove” I’d heard this before, but just looked at it now. I have that problem. But I’m basically a hairy person!
@@WindyPoplars
I'm sorry to hear that, and it's good to know. ♥
@@WindyPoplars
How long did it last for you?
I would not walk around like that am sorry but am glad she loving it and that people loves her beard and mustache. ❤️❤️❤️
Nova, you're so beautiful, thank you sharing your story ❤️
For
Love and blessings ❤️
I don't understand. Can't Nova have permanent hair removal treatment?
Of course, just chooses not too.
I was wondering why that wasn't mentioned as an option if she felt insecure about it.
Laser hair removal s prohibitively expensive for that amount, which is not covered by insurance.
Laser hair removal doesn't work for everyone. Mine just grew back just as bad.
Did anyone notice @ 34:28 the young women the prosthetic leg. In that segment it was her right leg instead of her left. Was the camera just reversing it?
Beauty comes all sizes and shapes
I have PCOS don’t make fun of her it sucks, I don’t get the facial hair not all of us do, but I get boils on my arm pits, breasts and private area. Chronic yeast infections, horrible long periods, if I’m not on the birth control and the only way I can stop the boils and yeast is by taking a pill for diabetics called metformin. 😐😟😮💨
I have pcos too and have facial hair but get laser for it as I prefer not to have it, but it is a common symptom… the crazy periods etc are no fun either
@@devadii24 I bought a Panasonic wet/dry lady electric razor on Amazon, bc I do get some peach fuzz and a small mustache. I just don’t get the beard, but that razor is amazing and gets rid of the hair without cutting me and leaves my skin soft.
@@Saiyan_B gotta check it out!
You go girl ɓbeeaauuuttiful😮😊
Amazing both women ❤
to treat PCOS contact the St. Gianna Center in Omaha they can recommend a local Naprotechnology doctor. You may need an ovarian wedge resection. I had it done and got pregnant the very next month after trying for 3 years.
Nova is gorgeous!
Vitiligo, albino skin conditions, and birth marks (like the one on that one womans face) have always been so cool and pretty to me. I remember being jealous as a kid of anyone i saw with them. Natural body marks are sooooo cool.
Lovely
Yes for real Body Positivity! 🎉
We would have never seen this kind of thumbnail 10 years ago. Crazy how fast times change.
Absolutely
These people are my hero’s!!
I understand that we all need to be accepting of peoples' differences. However, the lady with sagging skin is being lied to by her friends.
Posing in a bikini, she said a "huge weight came off her shoulders"...and went on to her thighs.
Wow nice. I stop shaving myy legs and I just feel free. But I’m also trans masculine. I love myself more and more each day but I’m getting top surgery soon because I do have chest dysphoria. I feel like everything else I can live with but my chest.
These people are beautiful every one of them no one has the right to say there not
*they're
I have pcos too
Thnk god my legs didn’t stretch or my arm just tummy
Beauty standards and expectations do my head in, they want us to have babies but not look like we had them.
Parents should not feed their kids junk food. Simple homecooked food is a must for a healthy body. So parents should learn cooking before having kids. If they dont, they are preparing their kids for a life of misery.
Food has a big role. But it is still difficult to control weight and body hair when you have problems in the reproductive system. I know because i have a milder condition. If im not always on top of my health then its chaos. Consider that for people like us its an uphill struggle.
Like another me stretch marks on my stomach idk why there so many women at my age in life still single not in 20 year old body I don't ever believe even if I work out never gonna be removed had three sons started years ago never even knew I owned gyms in the city I lived in all my life look at life now like don't wanna talk much stress my life in my 30s now so u know think deeper into life how you wanna live it
👍🏻
Do alot thinking older you get you know
If I had facial hair I would be waxing
😷😷😷
This is just reminding of me of LOTR; didn't "Dwarf" women have beards as well ?
Gimmick for circus act
I like that beard
See myself with long one one day
Now imagime her walk into the womens restroom 😅
I so shave
Angie so what if people were to do that-look at you in any special way You keep yourchin up and you just consider the source and rise above it chances are you will never see them again You must not let them steal your God given right to joy even for the minute that you are enjoying the pool or the beach Karma will get them . I know what plans i have for you sayeth the Lord ,plans not to harm you but to give you hope and a future
You are beautiful
Jeder ist schön so wie er ist und die wahre Schönheit kommt außerdem eh von innen
She probably not going in the shower with me for it lol
Nova may be intersex.
She has PCOS. It's a hormonal imbalance that many women have.
@@missMediaChick
It's not just the facial hair though. She literally looks like a dude and the beard just emphasizes it even more. I think there's more to it than just PCOS.
@@sacredsecrecy9620 Definitely more to it, I'm thinking Cushing's disease (a pituitary tumor) that causes "buffalo hump" and excess facial hair.
but now she can use the things transgender use ?
Huh?
I thought it was a troon at first
A what?
@@eleonoradelpiano8635 A trans ""woman""
@@csirke9822 im a trans woman. we're not called "troons"
@@eleonoradelpiano8635
Looks like you are now.
Ew
How rudely immature of you.
@HogFrog What's "ew" is your attitude.
Waterfast it will go away
Absolutely not...NEVER 🧴🪒
What never?
