Since beginning nursing school I have been made aware of 3 other women with PCOS. 1 was a little bigger than me, one a smidge smaller, and the other a twig. PCOS comes in all size andd shapes. It does not differentiate just like infertility. It doesnt matter how pretty, how thin (or thick), how rich or poor you are...blonde, brunette....it affects all.
One of the girls struggles with facial hair, and gets hers waxed (like me...which by the way...don't look too closely I desperately need it and my eyebrows done.) frequently. Another, the thin one, has a 5 month old after trying naturally for 2-3 years without ever seeing a bfp. And the third, she has lost 70lbs in 2 years. She showed me her before and after picture and it was amazing to see.
She told me it was a struggle but worth it. I cannot wait to be able to show you guys a before and after photo.
13lbs down, I can tell in my scrubs for sure, and in some tshirts that I have lost weight (and in a couple pairs of pants...). In the other "regular" clothes? Nope...still look like normal chunky Jessica.
Weight loss is a crazy journey. I cannot wait to start having people tell me I am looking good, and ask how I have done it. The thought of it makes me so freaking excited and happy. Lol Compliments I can be proud of due to the dedication and perseverance involved.
I want to be some other woman's inspiration for weightloss when she is feeling down. I want her to think, "I can do this!" Because of something I have said or done that motivated them.
I am dreaming, and it feels good. Because this is one dream I can and will accomplish.
Sleep calls. I am tired so if this wasnt the best put together post, forgive me. The foggy drive home and sleepiness were not the best combination. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

I think anything that we do in our life can be a crazy and sometimes awful journey but on the other hand there is so many things that make life a beautiful ride.
