Yes. That will be my main goal this year. Cut back on EVERYTHING and focus on the big things. I’m sure most of you know that. Focus on family. Focus on GOD. But hey, what about ourselves? I am not being selfish, but I have realized that how can I take care of my family if I dont take care of myself first? So ME takes centerstage this year. I will FOCUS on MYSELF so I can focus on God and my family. The rest follows if you have FOCUS.

The past year I have been all over the place, you can see me accomplishing many things, doing so many things at the same time. Yes, I was doing a LOT but it was also stressing me big time. It saddens me to realize that only now. (As always, I need to get hurt in order to learn!) I was always trying to stay on top of everything.

So at the start of the year, I think I already have mentioned I had some health problems that accumulated and stressed me out. To cut it short, I have been very stubborn and had been so BAD at taking care of myself. So I was diagnosed with PCOS during my most recent OB consult. I was kinda expecting it when I started getting delayed periods since October (aka false pregnancy scares).

And it is hard. You tend to have it when you are obese/overweight, and you tend to have more problems because it lets you put on more weight. Plus, since it’s hormonal, you tend to have mood swings as well. My doctor advised to get serious in losing weight. But I still need to eat full meals. (Huh?) Portion control, AND exercise.

Im too young to have problems like these.
And I want to have more kids pa.
I think that was the final straw.

(Not that PCOS will make you infertile ha, but it will be hard to get pregnant. I have one-sided PCOS which my OB suspects will get under control once I lose SERIOUS weight).

Here’s to a healthy me!
