We had a good weekend, I was very conscious of what I was eating, I will admit I did eat some chips, multi-grain so thats ok. I also did drink some wine Saturday evening which was nice! Slept a little bit Sunday afternoon and went to bed Sunday after dinner (yummy chicken, potato, beans, salad) at 9pm.
Feeling good this morning.
Breakfast - 8gr fibre wrap with 2 tbsp peanut butter (natural)
Snack - 1/2 c hummus and 1.5 c carrots
Lunch - Toasted sandwich with chicken, tomato, cheese and lettuce.
Snack - 1 yogurt
Im feeling really off today. Kinda weepy and just down. Had a dream last night that I was back in high school and no one would talk to me. Flash back for sure. I hated high school. I basically had no friends, and well still do. I can name only a couple 'true' friends and the rest is my family. Ive always been quiet and more introverted, however it hurts that some people could say so easily that they are my "friends" but do not show it. Its hard for me to deal with when I value peoples words. I am so thankful for my hubby, he is the world to me, he truly is my best friend. Im horrible at making new friends too because I seem to have my guard up at all times now from being burnt so many times. I dont get that when in high school I became "someone" when dating an a$$hole... I try to stand up for myself and I turn into a nobody. Nice. I try to be "friends" but never get replies or calls back. Apparently its me, so I'll just give up with the entire "friends" issue. Its too draining.

1st Day of the new ME!
Well Sunday I should have started a new pack of pills and I didn't.
I wont lie I am very nervous about this, however I am thinking the best.
When I stopped the pills back in Sept 04, well that began a very long cycle of no period and thus began the weight gain. SO I am really hoping that I lose and do not gain.
My last cycle Tuesday August 18 - Satuday August 22.

Thursday August 20
So I woke up and knew my blood sugar was low... not a good way to start the day.
However I had a feeling this would happen as yesterday it did a major nose dive and when that happens I feel like I cannot recover from it.
I know my biggest challenge is snacking, I must snack, yet Im not used to eating when Im not hungry ... challenge! I have changed my/our eating habits and hubby has been very supportive of that. Its difficult though as I said when I am not hungry and even before I am actually hungry my blood sugar does a huge nose dive and I feel horrible :( This will take time. Baby Steps right...
Found a great link, ironically to a book I already have. Must get this out again and read it.
You can see the link here "What to do when the Doctor says PCOS"
I wanted to start this blog as I do not know anyone IRL (in real life) with this issue and I need a means of venting or even just "talking", I find this theraputical. Hope it does help and perhaps I will meet some with PCOS.

My PCOS Journey
I needed a way to write and vent about my PCOS journey. I am thankful that my life with PCOS is not as severe as others, however it afffects women in different ways.
I was diagnosed in 2005 after we had been TTC for 10mths. Diagnosed with PCOS and Hypothyroidism and told if we wanted to have children I HAD to lose weight. HAD TO. Without a question. I did. I lost 25lbs. We spent 5 months going through tests every month, I had to have blood work and ultrasounds from CD (cycle day) 8 - 16 approx, had to take medication. Our lives changed - drastically!
I lost alot of my trust in people, especially "friends" who truly were not my friends, during this time. Hind sight is 20-20 and if they were our friends they would have supported us in a totally different way, however this is how our journey began. I held a lot of resentment towards a lot of people. Two of my biggest dreams in life were to marry an amazing man and have two children. I had my man was just missing my children. Nothing else mattered at that time other than the fact that I was broken, I had a very hard time dealing with this, very.
We now have two children who are our lives. Our family is complete and we are very happy. However... now begins my daily life with PCOS, which I never really had to "deal" with in this way until now. Being pregnant with both kids close in age didn't give my body a chance to "go back to normal" (whatever normal is for me at this point). So now... my journey as a wife and mama with PCOS... begins!
