As women, we are part of a culture that places body image in a significant light. Trying to love ourselves no matter what is easier said than done. Did you know that 89% of American women are unhappy with their weight? Women with PCOS have higher body image dissatisfaction scores than women without PCOS. These scores are related to higher depression scores. This data is significant because it shows how PCOS isn't just a "period problem" and influences physical and mental health. ⁠
⁠
Body image means how we view and value ourselves. Has your PCOS affected how you perceive your body and self-worth?⁠
Here are some ways you can have body positivity:⁠
⁠
💛 Appreciate all that your body can do⁠
💛 Write down three things you like about your image⁠
💛 Remember that beauty is a state of mind⁠
💛 Stop following "model" pages and comparing yourself to them⁠
💛 Stop chasing perfection ⁠
