Well, it has officially been 1 week since I decided to lose weight & I have lost 7.5 pounds!!! It feels great knowing that I am fighting against PCOS so I can gain back some power over my body. I have truly felt powerless over this condition for so long. I have tried to lose weight time and time again but always let my thoughts of the studies and statistics I've read of those with PCOS over power my mind and I give up every time..but NOT this time! So what if majority of women with PCOS are obese? I am not majority of women! I am me and I will not allow myself to think that way or be put into that category anymore. I used it as an excuse and although it is true, I don't have to be one of the women in that statistic! They also say that majority of women with PCOS are infertile and cannot have children but God has proven to me that I CAN! So right there I know that I can no longer look at it as truth for myself because I am so much more than that. I have and still am struggling with getting pregnant but I will not say that I am infertile! I have gotten pregnant, my body has carried a beautiful healthy baby who is now growing into an amazing young man and I believe that my body can & WILL do it again. I have to stick to the weight loss, stay positive, keep praying, believe and trust that I can fight PCOS! I will be healthy and will have another healthy baby. I need to stay strong and realize that I am SO much more than I have believed myself to be...I AM WORTH IT!
