Change is good!

So, Since I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) in 2007, I have struggled with my weight everyday. Its been a constant thorn in my side since then... If you know anything about the disorder you know that it causes significant weight gain even with a semi normal diet..and it also makes losing weight harder as well as preventing pregnancy (which makes me sad bc we def want to try for one more baby after this last miscarriage). I can eat exactly what a normal person does even if I cut my calories in half, and Id still not lose weight. Ill never forget my dr telling me "I could put next to someone without PCOS and they be the same weight, put you in a room for a week eating restricted calories and working out and you'd lose weight twice as slow". YAY..that was encouraging. What a bleak outlook! I became so sad and depressed and stressed all it did was make it worse. Now I take 2000mg of glucophage per day, so that it helps with the disorder and also help me lose more weight...
I dont know when I made the decision to be serious about losing the weight (I should say fight to lose it, bc its an uphill battle), but the last few weeks I have been really trying to eat less and better. Then I met a neighbor with the same goals and we have started walking together. It has been the BEST decision EVER. Im also using Myfitnesspal on the Iphone and it hasnt let me down. It measures every single calorie of food that I put in my mouth..including all the nutrients and fats and so on. It is the most amazing thing! So..this is the CHANGE I want! The CHANGE I need! 85 lbs in a year! I WILL DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!! No more stressing out or worrying about how to do it, Im just doing it! No more depression over this...I will conquer it! It will not conquer me!
