Today I am struggling with the devastating thought of infertility. It seems most of my friends are having their second child while I am seemingly far from conception. Motherhood has always been one of my truest desires. I know am I at the beginning of my healing but I am not one to be patient. It is so difficult to focus on the positive changes I am making to help me get closer to my hopes of having a child one day. This is truly the biggest battle I face in dealing with PCOS. I can be thankful for the the fact that I do not have alot of the other symptoms like hurtuism(male pattern hair growth commonly on the face), painful cyst, acne, thinning hair, skin tags..to name a few. I am striving to find hope in the changes in my diet and eating behaviors(eating disorder) and focus on the good in my life. There is a bible verse that talks about being content in the state I am in)Phil. 4:11). That's what I am trying to do but it is very hard to stop worrying. Hope is what I need to persevere through the disappointments in life. Mental and emotional well being is crucial to healing in my opinion so I am going to keep looking up!
A little less than a sweet post on Halloween, but honestly that is how I am feeling today.
One a more positive note...my 50% raw diet is going pretty well! For breakfast I had cottage cheese with chai vanilla yogurt, a chopped apple and 1tbs chopped walnuts. Snack was raw broccoli, lunch was raw cabbage slaw and chicken stew(yum) I will post this recipe tomorrow. No afternoon snack since I had a busy day at work. Dinner was this new salad recipe and 1 cup homemade pumkin soup.
