I really resonate with wanting to believe that any weight is fine on our body. I don't care what others look like or how much they weigh and I'm just happy for them no matter what, but I have a hard time feeling the same way about myself.
I tell myself that I feel great and have done some great things like a couple half marathons and am pretty active overall, but some days it's just not enough for my brain that thinks I should weigh less.
I definitely understand where you're coming from and wish you the best on your journey with the keto diet. Glad to hear you're feeling much better and I hope your brain is able to come to accept over time that feeling great on keto is worth more than any number on a scale
fellow PCOS-er (and survivor of 90s diet culture) — i was diagnosed at 16 and was LIVID that no one told me until my 30s that it’s associated with insulin resistance until i learned that the link was established after i was diagnosed. wild how little we know about a condition that affects millions of people! anyway, i know there are a lot of great resources out there but always game to compare PCOS notes and frustrations :)
