So here I am again....

PCOS is a terrible TERRIBLE theif.  It steals so much from my life.  I have decided to take my life back in the only way that has been successful in the past....the Ideal Protein Diet.  I did it in 2010 and lost 48 lbs, felt great, got pregnant and gave birth to a HEALTHY full term baby girl in 2011.

Fast forward 5 years, 2 more miscarriages and my PCOS has taken over my eating, my weight, my health and my cycles (or lack thereof)....which has caused me to be put on 3 different meds and feeling terrible and struggling with depression (not extreme, but some.)

I started what I am calling MyIdeal2015 yesterday, August 3rd.  I had 64.5 lbs from my initial weigh in to my goal, but my real goal is gaining my life back, being able to love on my kids more and (prayerfully) getting and staying pregnant with another healthy full term baby!  I will check in every week after my weigh in (either Monday evening or Tuesday) as my journal to keep me accountable.

My only complaint so far is of the headache, lack of energy and terrible taste of olive oil.  Perks, my home scale already moved...no heartburn....and I slept well last night!!!

See you next week!
