Naturopath Visit

by

Well, six weeks and five days after I started my restricted diet, I went back to the naturopath for a bit of a check-in and progress report. The appointment went great and I’m scheduled to go back in another six weeks.

Never in my life would I ever have though I would have someone tell me that I should probably slow down the weight loss.

How funny!

Anyway, just had to get that out of my system. I’ve been chuckling about it for days.

I got retested and things were fantastic. Instead of all my systems – yes, all – being completely out of whack, this time my systems were calm and quiet. The weight and PCOS issues are still of concern, of course, but no longer is my body going a bit crazy.

I’m quite proud of myself. Six weeks without so many of the things I have come to love? That’s hard. But, unlike things I have tried in the past, I am actually seeing results and feeling good about myself. No longer is it a waiting game of ‘maybe the weight will come off soon’ in trying to find the right diet for me.

Basically, I’m still on the restricted diet. However, things have loosened up a little bit. ‘Forbidden’ things have now become ‘try to avoid’ and instead of alternating between having one grain meal a day and two, I can now have two grain meals every day. (Woohoo!)

I’m feeling very good about this. I know I can achieve my goals.

I hope you are all doing well!
