Why now?

I have always said I am not a "school" person, this is what I thought. Yet, I have been drawn to school ever since I graduated high school. I am not new when it comes to the whole college experience I just haven't found my passion until now. About three in half years ago I found out I had Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. It was such a blow I had my daughter so easily that I never thought that I would be in situation, but there I was.


After my first pregnancy I had gain 50lbs after that I gain another 20lb. I knew exactly how this happened. When I was pregnant I wasn't gaining enough weight and my doctor gave me the green light to use my pregnancy as an excuse to eat anything I wanted; and I did! I thought I didn't like all the pastries but with pregnancy it turned out I did. I ate and ate and ate, then after having my baby instead of returning to my old eating habits I ate like I was pregnant. Then I gained the last 20 lbs.


So that is how I got here, what made this overweight girl try to break out in this field? Well a wake up call. My husband lost his job and with that our fertility insurance, then 6 months later a cyst bursted. I was now in a position where I had a problem and couldn't go to my specialist to fix it. I had a choice I could ignore it and let my problems carry on or I could change. After watching my SIL give up sugar to help her Asthma I could not help but try it. After the first month I had an ultra sound and it showed up only one cyst, and it was normal! The follow up to that showed no cyst and I had a positive ovulation test for the first time ever with out medical assistant!


After that is when I deiced to bury myself into diet books, the more I read the more I loved it! I keep thinking I could this, I could out advice and help people. So when my daughter started school for the first time I thought why not? I enrolled the next day!
