How to stop feeling bad about being overweight?

hi- just what the title says really. I suffer severely with PCOS & suspected endometriosis and this is playing up quite badly at the moment. The PCOS caused me to have a lot of problems and a big big one being the extreme weight gain all on my stomach. I am classed as obese but I don’t look too bad- I carry it well as im quite tall & it’s not so compacted. My face can tend to be a bit bloated but overall I look passable but I am at the stage where I wouldnt afford to put on any more. I am stones overweight.
I am happy for the most part how I look and I do scrub up well but I tend to compare myself a lot to other women especially with their figures, their makeup. Sometimes I don’t realise im doing it.
I am happy with how I am & take metformin which I’ve lost a stone on. I guess I just want to get over the thoughts that people see me as enormous or that I am secretly ugly and also how to feel better being a heavier woman. I haven’t completely let myself go

I'm sorry that you feel like this @UniqueGoldNewt
Take a look at the book The Kindness Method by Sharoo Izadi. It might help.
