*not quite 32* my birthday is next week.
I kept procrastinating when it came to my own health. “By 25 I’ll be…” “By 30 I’ll be…” Something always got in the way. I used tiny humans popping out of me as an excuse way too many times.
Reflecting back now, babies are not an excuse not to take care of yourself. You’re not a martyr. They’re going to need you for a long fucking time so you better get your ass in gear.
I’d also like to point out that my calves aren’t super weird in the 1st photo… the pants have a grey stripe that’s blending with the rocks, haha!
By 30 I decided to take legit action. I made an appointment with my OB/GYN and with my GP and asked them to test all the things. GP results came in first… borderline prediabetic with high Testosterone and tragicly low Vitamin D. My OB/GYN is amazing. He heard those results and immediately tested me for PCOS. The Insulin Resistance, Testosterone, and malabsorption of Vitamin D (despite living in Arizona) were all red flags. Ultrasound and additional blood tests confirmed his hunch.
Started a treatment plan ASAP, and immediately went on a gluten free low GI diet with calorie restriction. Didn’t lost a damn thing after 3 months.
Then I found keto and never looked back.
I’ve lost 94lbs and gone from a size 18 to a size 4. My PCOS symptoms are gone. I have a normal cycle. My chronic depression is gone. I rarely go into full on rage mode. Migraines are few and far between. Hair is growing back. Acne is manageable. Body has energy and life. And there’s so much more.
FUCK YEAH KETOSIS!
