Hello Readers,
As you all know, Today I started my transformation. I have cleaned my house of evil foods, and replaced it with the good. Last week when I went to my doctor seeking help, he told me he wanted me to lose 50 lbs before I start trying to get pregnant. Even though being healthy is optimal for pregnancy, I was distraught. All the should haves came to the surface; I should have done this, and I should havedone that. At least the doctor said that I am still young and have time. That night I prayed. In the morning I had a refreshed sense of hope. I came to realized I could get pregnant at anytime during the weight loss, especially if its the weight that aggravates ovulation. Basically, my insulin levels triggers my brain to produce more testosterone which causes my eggs to stop maturing; hence anovulation. By eating the right foods and exercising regularly, my weight and blood sugar levels will drop resulting in normal levels of hormones. Eventually, I pray, I will be able to ovulate. The rest it just at matter of luck.
Weighing in this morning at 245 lbs, I decided that Mondays would be the best day to write my blog. I can talk about my week and keep track of my progress. Please keep me in your prayers. Until next time--God Bless!

Life Change Prep
Hello Readers,
As you all know I am about to embark on a life-style journey; the weight-loss safari. Today, with a cart in hand, I explored the wonders of the grocery store. Believe me it was a jungle. From people being in the way to kids running around like monkeys, I actually survived. Not only did I manage to get out, I got out spending only $110; that in it's self is a victory. Upon walking out the store, the heat and humidity enveloped my lungs, and I instantly began to melt. When I got into my car, Noah (a friend's little boy) belts out "Its so hot I can smell fire." I told him it was because I was turning into a fire-breathing dragon-kids are so gullible. After groceries were put away, I collapsed on the couch wishing for a nice, clear, crisp, cool pool. It would have been the perfect ending for such a miserable trip. Hopefully, come Monday morning I will be ready to travel the path to a healthier me.

Im New
Hello to blog readers,
Blogging is a great way to express thoughts and relieve stress that can build from day to day, hence my blog's main theme. I've been wanting, for the longest time, to write a blog. I like to share my struggles, triumphs, and mistakes to people in hopes I can help someone along the way. In doing so, I believe a reader would like to know and understand a few facts about the writer.
First thing first, I am 29 years old, a wife, and a God-fearing woman who lives in the deep south. Also, I am a surgical tech, who is unemployed at this time. Any offers? Right now in my life I am missing out on the joys of motherhood. Hoping to fulfill this void, I have been to doctors and specialist only to hear the same speel -- "lose weight." Why did they tell me to lose weight when other women much heavier than me have children everyday? Well reader, those women probably didnt have sky-high blood pressure, and type II diabetes like I do. They might have struggled with PCOS (Ploy-cystic Ovary Syndrome) along with many other women, myself included. Basically, losing weight will better my chance for ovulation, conception and better chance for a healthy pregnancy. With this blog, God-Willing, I hope to share my enduring journey towards motherhood; tears included.
