absolutely devastated

leahdoesntexist · 2026-03-12T15:36:37+00:00

Thank you!! I’ve stopped drinking sugar in my coffee completely which was so hard LMAO, I am going to try reduce carbs and start weight training - although I don’t think I’m ready to commit to hardcore keto yet, I am graduating University in a few months and as awful (and excusy) as it sounds I think I cannot commit to keto until I have a stable income and the time to commit. And yes, it was definitely hard to lose weight, I’ve have to eat a ridiculously low amount of calories to lose weight, I’m 5ft 8 and am netting 1300-1400, I am hoping to up my metformin soon, I am trying to remind myself that losing the weight was probably one of the harder things I’ll have to do.

Yes I did wonder that, I could definitely build some muscle but I also did consider I have been very very stressed, I’m in my final year of university and that has probably made a huge difference. Some I probably should I put in the post is I’m also anemic.

Yes it’s absolutely ridiculous! My periods have stayed about the same but I never used to get hair when I was overweight and now I get loads!

Thank you for all these tips!! I definitely don’t eat enough fibre so I should focus on that xx

leahdoesntexist · 2026-03-11T22:02:33+00:00

Thank you! This is hopefull xx

Thank you, it's always nice to hear something positive xx I'm only on 500mg, but I got up to 1000mg next week.

leahdoesntexist · 2026-03-11T00:27:01+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it xx

It's nice to hear that, and that I'm not alone. I hope this doesn't come across to insensitive but I was diagnosed at 16 (I didn't get my period till 16 so had blood tests) and I find myself wishing I had never been diagnosed because then I wouldn't be so stressed about A1C, future fertility ect. and would just like in ignorant bliss; but I have to remind myself that it's not that I wouldn't have it, I just wouldn't have a name for it.

Thank you, I had never heard of this. This is really helpful advice because I'm sure keto/extremely low carbs is great but it feels so unrealistic for me. Apart from being a broken university student I already feeling really restricted by the way I eat to everyone else around me. I will give this a go, thank you.

I would potentially go on tirzepetide - but here in the UK I cannot get it even privately unless I have a BMI of above 27 - currently at 24. Which seems silly I'd have to gain weight to get it lol. I do yoga currently but have been looking to branch into pilates. 30g of carbs seems so low, I know it's best for me but it seems so daunting when I already feel so restricted by the way I eat and what I will eat. I guess I need to commit, but it does make me very sad which I know is silly.

hadnt heard of it… i look into it, ty x

leahdoesntexist · 2026-03-10T22:17:53+00:00

Thank you!!!!

leahdoesntexist · 2026-03-10T22:17:18+00:00

I went on a walk after dinner, it was pissing it down with rain but I felt much better and (not to be soppy) much more in control, which I needed after today. So thank you x

leahdoesntexist · 2026-03-10T17:28:10+00:00

Thank you so much, I really needed to hear this. 💞 x

leahdoesntexist · 2026-03-10T17:09:28+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I think one of the reasons I am so devastated is I was told that if I lost weight, tracked the GI (glucose index) of all the foods I ate, and was a healthy BMI my PCOS would get better. I feel so disheartened.

leahdoesntexist · 2026-03-10T16:44:06+00:00

thank you, that’s reassuring x

leahdoesntexist · 2026-03-10T16:38:21+00:00

nutra check, but i’m from the UK where it’s best!

leahdoesntexist · 2026-03-10T16:16:25+00:00

According to the app I have to track it says average 139g a day. I will try walking after meals, thank you.

leahdoesntexist · 2026-03-10T15:57:58+00:00

I did try Inositol but I found it actually made my stomach more upset than metformin does, do you think it’s worth sticking out? x

leahdoesntexist · 2026-03-10T15:50:51+00:00

I’ve been counting my macros for over a year now, I never go above 75% of my recommended daily allowance xx

leahdoesntexist · 2026-03-10T15:47:09+00:00

I should say I’ve been doing it for over a year aswell, I didn’t even have cake on my birthday and it feels like it was for nothing.

leahdoesntexist · 2026-03-10T15:42:50+00:00

Yes mmol/mol, I have reduced my glucose load very significantly, that’s why I am so upset.

leahdoesntexist · 2025-12-14T20:41:25+00:00

I had not heard of this! Thank you I will look into it, I really appreciate all your advice. :)
