The kick off

So I find myself a struggling single mom, engaged to my best friend, trying to find my identity in all the wrong ways, making my self unhealthy. Too many bad foods, to many stresses in my life. Making bad decisions.

I find myself wanting to have another baby so badly that I take matters and my PCOS in my own hands and by some books on PCOS and fertility, how to fix it, what diets to follow, what natural supplements I can take to boost my fertility. In the process I find out that its not just fertility that I can improve with the diets and the exercise. Its my general quality of life. My mood swings can disappear, the acne can improve my overall well being could take a jump in a good direction.

I am thrilled and jump in full force.

The problem here is that if I am going to do this, I need to change my life completely. Its time for a full self overhaul. I have not been living well. I am on a hand full of medications and have a problem with anxiety that is on the verge of debilitating.

First move. I separated from my fiance. Not a permanent separation, I need the space to be able to make this self journey. Second move. Clear out the cabinets and replace my diet with a all natural high protein, no complex carbohydrate diet. Lots of nuts and legumes. Fresh veggies and fruits and we are going to balance out my hormones.

I'm starting to make a better life for me and my son one step at a time.. this is my journey. Documented here, day by day.
