Quick update

Hi Everyone!
As I mentioned before, next week will be the PCOS Jumpstart week. I have been reading through all of the material and buying everything I will need. I am nervous. I am also super excited! We are having a pot luck meal at our house over Shavuot. I will be eating my own thing, and that's ok! I am getting bored of eating the same foods and am really looking forward to finding more things I can safely eat.

Please be careful over chag, it is so easy to fall into the "trap" of just letting everything go for however many days you keep. IT IS NOT WORTH IT! As I heard someone say the other day: "Happiness before pleasure." I really like that. I officially met my next weight loss goal this morning, in time for Shavuot. And I am going to celebrate and treat myself. Not the way I used to. Not with food. I am going to go and get a nice wax and threading before chag to get rid of all those lovely hairs PCOS leaves me with. If my nails are long enough (I stress bite :( ), I might even get a mani/pedi!

I had a super stressful weekend last week. Thursday at work through shabbat afternoon I was a disastrous mess. I don't know how my DH put up with me. But I made it through that and am looking forward to change. I want to be me. The me that is not stress-ridden. The me that is confident in my own skin and at peace with myself. I saw this me once, when I was pregnant with my daughter. She was beautiful, happy, confident, and calm. I want her back. I know I will find her again. I am hoping this program will lead me on the path back to her. My supportive husband deserves it, my beautiful daughter deserves it, and I deserve it.

You deserve to find YOU! You are beautiful, smart, and an amazing human being. Never forget that or let anyone tell you otherwise.

Chag Sameach and Chodesh tov! See you on the other side of chag and I'll tell you all about my results :)
