(f22, 5’6) I have been officially diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome). I have been struggling with my weight for now 2 years, exactly when I started to realize something was wrong with my body. PCOS affected my mental health in ways im not sure I can recover.... I have been stalling at 200 lbs since the pandemic first hit and the only thing I keep telling myself is At least you didn’t gain "more" weight. I rapidly gained weight without eating more than I should, I used to be 132lbs but I was also eating 1000 calories or less everyday.... now my heaviest is 200lbs and I am eating between 800 and 1300 calories per day, tracking everything in My Fitness Pal... but nothing works. I need guidance, advice.. support..whatever. The gyms are closed and home workouts are not something I want to do. I want to help myself gain energy. I want to be healthy. This diagnosis is really devastating me, especially when I noticed some women use their PCOS as an excuse to not lose weight and I don’t want to be one of them. I am only 22, and even if I don’t look obese when I get dressed, I am ashamed of what I see every day. I wasn’t healthy at 132lbs , and I’m even less healthy now at 200lbs. I want to make a change, but don’t know how.
TLDR: newly diagnosed with PCOS after struggling with rapid weight gain in 2 years. Need advice for diet/lifestyle change and support. This diagnosis is hard on my mental health as well..
Any advice from women suffering from PCOS on a weight loss journey would be extremely appreciated.
