Honestly, recently I’ve been struggling a lot with my body image because of PCOS

And it’s not even that I’m overweight but I have fat stored in certain parts of my body that make me feel really self-conscious and it genuinely affects how you feel about yourself. I also feel like people make PCOS sound way simpler than it actually is. Like okay yes food affects it but you’re also dealing with cravings, stress, hormones, low energy and actual life at the same time And honestly sometimes dietitian advice just feels like “here’s a plan now follow it” without anyone really understanding the emotional side of all this too. PCOS runs in my family so this whole thing feels really personal to me and honestly I just wanna stop feeling shitty all the time lol

Just wondering if anyone else feels like this too

And if you feel like you’d actually want support from a dietitian who genuinely understands PCOS instead of just handing you a random plan just upvote because I’m curious how many women feel this way too

I swear sometimes it feels like every time I try to get help for PCOS, it’s either super restrictive or just generic advice that makes me feel worse Like okay I know food affects PCOS but it’s not that easy when you’re dealing with cravings, stress, hormones, low energy and actual life at the same timeAnd honestly, sometimes it feels less like support and more like getting blamed for not being “disciplined enough" I’m curious if anyone here actually found nutrition advice or a dietitian that genuinely helped long term, and what made the difference for you because I feel like so many of us are struggling with the same thing constantly
