The shift from weight loss to health mindset really resonates, but I'm curious about the timeline - how long did it actually take for your body to "settle" at its comfortable weight once you made these changes? Sometimes it feels like the hardest part is trusting the process when you can't see immediate results.
Hey Destiny, once I understood that these things are good for my body, I could see a real change in 6 months. However, it is important not to fixate on the timelines as all of these things are actively contributing towards your overall health anyway, and they will need to be maintained for the rest of our lives. I know it’s hard, as we live in a world where image is so important, but finding what your body responds to is a long-term journey full of experimentation. I would say if something actively makes you feel good in your own body, not constantly hungry and irritated, full of energy, and you see a change in your mindset, and how you feel, it’s the right process, which, if carried out for long enough time, will show up on your body and PCOS. With what we know from research about working out and eating enough and nutrient-dense foods, it’s impossible that it will not eventually show up. You don’t need more answers, but a belief in your own body that it will do the right thing. If you want to chat more about it, don’t hesitate to DM me. Sending you a hug.
