The beginning

Today I have realized enough is enough.  I am at my heaviest weight since college.  I have struggled with my weight since I was about 11 years old.  I don't know when all of the sudden I was the heavy girl in the classroom.  Since then I have gone from diet to diet and with no permanent result.  But I am tired, I am tired of being tired and tired of feeling bad about myself.  So I have learned I have PCOS.  For many, even doctors, it seems like they are clueless about this syndrome.  But is a real problem, a problem that just makes life more difficult than it should be.  But I don't want to use that as an excuse anymore.  I want to try to get myself out of that tangling web and break free from that mind set that this is the way I have to live.  I have to do this for myself and no one else.  It is my time to do something if I don't want to end up dead before my 40th birthday.
