These pictures are just 1 year apart. I know yāall have been watching me work out for the past 2 years. In that time, Iāve lost 15 kilos of weight and so, so, so much guilt, shame and pain caused by my body image issues.
Iāve always identified as a pretty girl. When I first moved to north east India, I was in debt, had lost all motivation to live, was lonely af and was struggling with severe PCOS and more. Then @songra.eth approached me to help him design a mental health app. The thesis was that all mental health diseases are actually metabolic disorders of the brain.
This was based on the metabolic psychiatry principle that glucose spikes, poor metabolism, and bad gut health could be the reason behind many mood disorders and that maybe tracking your biomarkers could help fix that. I became patient zero. We never finished building the app, but I did end up discovering that I have insulin resistance and PCOS and needed to control my carbs and sugar.
Cut to today: I feel so good in my body and Iām never going back. This isnāt a post about quitting carbs maybe itās more about how so many women have insulin resistance without realizing it and about being self-custodial with your body and mind and taking control. But whatever you do, donāt quit. Iām happy to say that Iām debt free now and have some savings too. Lifting weights and following a high-protein diet fixed everything for me. Also, to a large extent, my depression and loneliness. 13 replies
