The Day Before...

I am impatiently waiting for my diet to start. I am doing the Dr. Bernstein diet. After much research and battle with my weight, I've decided this strict diet is the only way for me to feel better. I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in May of 2009 and have struggled with my weight all of my life. I am 30 years old now and have had enough. After many attempts at dieting and hard core workouts, I realized I have to do something about my weight. I have reached my highest weight at 220lbs. This is the first time I have ever been over 200lbs! But I have faith that this diet will help me finally lose the weight I need to lose. The people at Dr. Bernstein said I can lose 90 lbs in 5 months. I hope that is the case b/c in 5 months will be my 31st birthday. That would be so nice to lose 90lbs by my b-day! I am so looking forward to feeling better about myself, fitting into a smaller size and being able to manage the symptoms of my PCOS. Right now all I do is go to work and come home and sleep. I'm just too tired to exercise or do much else. Hair grows on my face and body at an alarming rate now, my stomach has pertruded so much I look like I'm 6 months pregnant and I just do not feel healthy. My biggest obstacle is going to be not drinking diet pepsi and not being able to eat bread. Those are my 2 favourite things! Well, wish me luck tomorrow - that's when I find out what my diet is going to be and what I am getting myself into! I will check in a few days with my weight update.
