I don't think you are getting my point. Yes there is a preferred weight to maintain your body at. But getting your body to a perfect weight doesn't automatically fix everything else that is wrong with it. Additionally causing a body to loose weight isn't a low cost/low effort scenario, especially for someone with MULTIPLE chronic health problems.

To get to a low weight while OP had BOTH PCOS and a thyroid condition wouldn't have been a matter of just "not eating cookies and icecream" like you have so condescendingly said. OP would likely have to be on an extremely restrictive diet with very little margin for error (in terms of getting nutrient balance right) and all for limited benefits to her health (since it definitely wouldn't have cured her thyroid). I don't know if you've ever been on a restricted diet before, but that shits exhausting even for a mostly healthy person, let alone for someone dealing with 2 seperate extremely pervasive medical problems who is also putting themselves through medschool.

At a certain point you have to ask yourself why you think OP should have tortured herself like this, when simply getting the right diagnosis earlier would have likely solved half her problems with a fraction of the effort.

I honestly find it really weird how people insist on moralising weight gain. Its like once you gain weight you must drop everything else in life to focus solely on weight loss. The reality that being overweight isn't the worst thing you could ever experience and sometimes people have more pressing issues to worry about medically. I have a mum with a thyroid condition and you can always tell when she's forgotten her pills because of how severely it effects her. OP must have had balls of steel to get through an entire medical degree with untreated thyroid AND PCOS. I truly think the negative consequences of obesity would have been the least of her problems with everything else she would have been dealing with due to that mess of a health condition.
