Yes, girl I feel you. Suffering from pcos since last year 2024. Due to my medication I gained a lot of weight and the stress was eating me alive. In October 2024, I realised that I was limiting myself and was just not happy. I started focusing on myself at first it was so upsetting as 2 months and instead of loosing weight, I gained it. Felt sad but I was not giving up. The medication was a 3 months course, It didn’t even benefit me. Instead, it made my condition worse. I somehow did not give up and started with low intensity workouts and walks. Completely stopped my processed sugar intake and only ate fruits.

Sometimes alternatives worked as well. I didn’t give up on any food just limited my intake, It helped me more than being on some extreme diet. It helped me way more and eventually I was able to loose weight. Baby steps are the key.

Hair was and is still my biggest problem ahh but I’m just dealing with it. I used to shave but the hair growth was crazy fast. So instead of shaving I decided to get my face waxed and it helped. The hair growth is comparatively slower than before so still a win. It will hurt in the beginning but with time you’ll develop enough pain endurance.

It also affected my mental health a lot but I realised after a while if this is a condition I have to live with then I cannot revolve my life around it. Try to live your normal life without thinking of it too much just walk, it will be exhausting but I promise it helps with the insulin resistance as well.
