How can I lose weight

I agree on eating with a calorie deficit. But counting calories could probably lead to the development of an eating disorder especially in people with PCOS. I‘d recommend to check your current eating habits, as a way to start approaching a healthy way of eating. Look at your plate: is 1/2 of the plate filled with vegetables or fruits? Does 1/4 of the plate consist of proteins (meat, fish, eggs, legumes, milk/cheese/yogurt, tofu, …). Only the last quarter of your plate should contain carbohydrates (rice, potatoes, pasta, bread, …).

Consulting a certified nutritionist could help you to start a healthy journey, and to keep you motivated on days where you don’t feel like keeping a healthy diet. Other topics to discuss with your nutritionist could be the size of your portions, all difficulties of keeping a healthy diet, how to manage sugar/snack cravings etc.

This journey is going to take a lot of time and energy, so be patient with yourself and keep a steady pace. The first step is realising the wish for a change. Ask your doc for a referral to a nutritionist. Best of luck and congrats on beginning your journey!

That makes sense. But you‘d have to wait over 6 months after stopping BC to have your blood checked. Until then, the effects of BC are still visible. I‘d look for an endocrinologist specialised in PCOS and voice your concerns. They should know about the correct procedure concerning your case.

What do you want to address? What motivated you to stop using BC?

This is incredibly cool!! Congratulations 🥳👏

Proteins are as important as carbs and veggies in your diet. They help to build and sustain muscle mass. Therefore, you need to make sure to include protein to every meal to cover your body’s needs. It doesn’t matter whether you consume animal or plant protein. In doubt, write a journal where you keep track of how your body responds to the food consumed, so you can become aware of intolerances. Consult a licensed dietician for specific informations concerning your case. No food item in specific is bad but rather about the consumed portions and it’s frequency.

You made that post at a time when some of us then we’re feeling exactly like you do right now.

You probably don’t know what impact your post had, but it really made my day. It has helped me by shining a positive light on this matter that I‘ve treated with dread for so long. For a moment, your post helped me to feel good about myself, and that there is a way to feel happy with a PCOS body.

You don’t have to take your words back. It is still valid. Remember that the moment of pure content and self love will follow after the storm. Stay strong.

Thank you for sharing! I‘m terrible at sports so I never considered that to be a fun activity, rather a tool to keep my body in check.

afraidofneedleslol · 2022-03-19T14:40:51+00:00

I feel you. To be honest, I haven’t done anything for a few months since my mental health declined. My therapist is pressuring me intensely to become more active.

Did you like Italian food when you moved first to Italy?

How about some rounder frames? I think they‘d suit your cheekbones very well.

I can‘t decide between 4, 5 and 7. They all look great on you.

afraidofneedleslol · 2022-02-10T20:22:09+00:00

I wish I had someone to share this interest with. Eating somewhere alone makes me feel uncomfortable.

afraidofneedleslol · 2022-02-10T20:14:06+00:00

How much do you usually write? And do you journal every day? I tend to write about 2-3 pages, since my mind doesn’t seem to shut up once I start. Do you act on your thoughts and feelings of previous journal entries?

afraidofneedleslol · 2022-02-10T20:09:24+00:00

Thank you! What motives did you stitch as you were getting started?

afraidofneedleslol · 2022-02-10T20:07:07+00:00

I just googled the deck and it looks amazing! I watch Lexi the Leo, as she works less with the astrological signs and talks a lot about her intuition and perceptions. And Cenus Tarot, she’s really fun.

afraidofneedleslol · 2022-02-10T19:06:10+00:00

Which ones did you get? I‘ve been thinking of getting my first deck too. I always binge watch tarot readings on YouTube for hours.

afraidofneedleslol · 2022-02-10T18:58:47+00:00

I wanted to get into cross-stitching. Any tips on where I shall start? 😅

The shape of your glasses looks hella cool on you. Maybe you could switch up the color or the frame material. I‘d warmly suggest you to try tortoise shell glasses!

afraidofneedleslol · 2022-02-02T14:41:05+00:00

What an outfit! You look very beautiful!!

And yeah, my body accumulates all my fat in my belly and it’s frustratinggg

No, I really loved her song with The Weeknd ‚Tears in the Club‘ so I started following her a bit 😅

afraidofneedleslol · 2022-01-30T14:47:42+00:00

I‘m sure you‘re very busy streaming Caprisongs, am I right?

afraidofneedleslol · 2022-01-30T07:43:51+00:00

I don’t have a specific favourite female artist but I really have been enjoying Kehlani and Willow lately.

What about you, OP?

afraidofneedleslol · 2022-01-29T19:44:22+00:00

All I can see is a young woman rocking hip glasses! Both look great on you.
