So to give a little background: I was just diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, which explains A LOT! Raymond and I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year and I went to the doctor a year ago because I was gaining weight and no matter how healthy I ate and how much I exercised I couldn't loose any weight. I asked my doctor to check my thyroid because that is the only thing I could think of. He checked it and it was fine. It was frustrating not to get any answers but I just figured I wasn't doing the right combinations of things. I finally went to a different doctor and almost immediately she knew what was going on. I wish I would've gone to her from the beginning because it's such a relief to finally know! The good news is that it's something that can be fixed by a change of diet. To make a long story short I can't eat food with sugar in it. Just LOTS of meat and veggies until I can get my body stabilized. I've been trying to be creative with what to eat because everything has sugar in it!
It's been raining today so I decided to make tomato soup. Of course I had to make it from scratch and everything was going great until I had to blend the soup! I couldn't get my blender off the stand and before I knew it tomato soup was going everywhere! I accidentally hit a button and of course , I had already taken the lid off! It was all over my kitchen, dripping down my hair, and I just wanted to cry. You should've seen Raymond's face! He was trying so hard not to laugh and made me go and get myself cleaned up while he tackled the kitchen! What a sweetheart! Needless to say I won't be making tomato soup anytime soon! :)
It's been pretty hard going through this trial without my family and friends close by, but it's made me realize how much Raymond means to me! He's been my strength through all of this and it's really brought us closer together. What a blessing it is to know and understand that Heavenly Father has a plan for us and I know one day we'll look back, so grateful for the experiences we've had! I just have to keep reminding myself that right now! :)

one... I did NOT know you had polysistic ovary syndrome. I'm sorry friend. I have a couple friends that have that! They are managing well, now that they found out they have it! I'm happy you finally got answers to things.

I am glad you found out what is wrong but it sounds rough to change not eating sugar it really is in everything. I hope all goes well with it. You are such a strong person. We need to chat soon for sure it has been too long.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were going through this, what a tough trial. Thank goodness our trials make us stronger and are just what we need eventhough it doesn't feel like it while we are going through them! We need to chat soon! Love you!
