I wanted to share with you How I lost 25kg in 6 months as a busy mom with PCOS. But it did not happened over night, neither was it easy. Here’s my journey

2024–25 has been one of the hardest years of my life.

From losing someone close, to heartbreaks, to harsh reality checks—I hit every low possible. Add a newborn into the mix, and it was overwhelming.

By August, I was mentally at my lowest point.

I felt done and completely done.

I hated the way I looked. 
I hated the way I felt. 
And honestly, I hated what I had become.

This is my busy mom’s weight loss journey with PCOD—where I lost 25kg in 6 months, starting from my lowest point.

I Hit My Lowest Point

Then something happened.

Someone very close to me got really sick. And I saw how people showed up for them, cared for them, supported them.

And a thought hit me hard:

If I get sick… who will be there for me?

And more importantly—what about my kids?

They’re young. They deserve a version of me that is present, strong, and actually there.

The Moment That Changed Everything

On September 1st, I made a decision.

I decided to become that version—for my kids and for myself.

Because I realized something important:

I deserve to be loved.

And if no one else is doing it the way I need, I will start with myself.

What Changed (Realistically)

Since that day, it’s been a journey.

Not perfect. Not easy. But real.

Some days I didn’t feel like doing anything. 
Some days I went back to old habits.

But I didn’t quit.

And that’s what made the difference.

Despite having PCOD, I lost 25kg in 6 months.

Not quickly. Not magically. Just consistently.

My Relationship With Food

I’ve never been someone who was conscious about health or weight.

I love food. Always have.

I celebrate with food.
I cope with stress by eating.
And I’m a picky eater—I would rather starve than eat something bland.

If a “healthy meal” tasted like cardboard sadness with a side of punishment, I simply wasn’t interested. Life is already hard enough. I refuse to suffer through dry chicken and sadness voluntarily.

And honestly? Food was one of the few things that felt comforting during stressful phases of motherhood, work, exhaustion, hormones, and trying to keep up with everything. When I was overwhelmed, tired, emotional, or mentally drained, food became my little reward system. “You survived today? Here’s a treat.”

The problem is, those little treats slowly turned into habits. And those habits quietly turned into weight gain that I kept pretending I would “deal with later.”

The Reality No One Talks About

Every win and every struggle has been mine.

No support. 
No encouragement. 
Just showing up every day.

Managing work, a home, and two demanding kids—it’s been hard. And honestly… it’s been lonely.

What Actually Helped Me Start Losing Weight

• I stopped waiting to feel “ready” because, honestly, I was never going to magically wake up motivated on a Monday morning with my life together and chia seeds in the fridge.
• I focused on small daily actions instead of trying to completely transform my life overnight. Tiny changes felt less overwhelming and were actually easier to stick to.I stayed consistent, not perfect. Some days were healthy, balanced meal days.
• Some days were “toast for dinner because motherhood is chaos” days. Both happened.
• I restarted immediately after bad days instead of turning one stressful meal into a week-long spiral. That mindset shift alone changed everything for me.

Why I’m Sharing This

Because I know how lonely and frustrating weight loss can feel when you’re already exhausted from everything else life expects from you.

For a long time, I genuinely thought I was just lazy, inconsistent, or lacking discipline. I kept blaming myself every time I restarted, every time I emotionally ate after a stressful day, and every time I promised myself “this time will be different.”

But the truth is, trying to lose weight while dealing with PCOS, motherhood, stress, hormones, mental load, and exhaustion is hard. Really hard.

And I don’t want another mom sitting there feeling like she has failed just because perfection isn’t happening.

Final Thoughts

You don’t need to be perfect.

You don’t need to follow extreme diets, cut out every food you love, or completely transform your life overnight to start making progress.

For the longest time, I thought weight loss only “counted” if I was doing everything perfectly. If I had one bad meal, missed a workout, or emotionally ate after a stressful day, I felt like I had failed and needed to start over again on Monday.

But real life doesn’t work that way—especially when you’re a busy mom already trying to juggle exhaustion, stress, hormones, responsibilities, and about a hundred other things every single day.

What actually changed things for me was learning how to keep going imperfectly.

One healthier meal still mattered.

One short walk still mattered.

Restarting after a hard day mattered.
