PCOS and Weight Gain

I was recently diagnosed with PCOS. I have never been overweight, have eaten healthy all my life and exercise has been a part of my life since I was a teenager. I am 25 now. I was very surprised by this because it is supposed to be a lifestyle disease and I believed I was doing everything right. I am generally an anxious person and my stress levels have been climbing in recent years so it may have something to do with that. The PCOS and possibly the stress has made me gain close to 6 pounds in the course of 6 months. This is leading to further stress. I have never been a dieter but I find my self indulging in some of the obsessive behaviors around food and exercise that the Daniel and Kelli repeatedly advise against. I was wondering if anyone has gone through something similar and has some advice to share.
