The last two years have been a time of amazing memories as well as loss. I met the love of my life through my aunt, she always had a way of looking out for me. That same year we discovered my aunt had an aggressive form of endometrial cancer that took her life within a month of diagnosis. During that time I fed my emotions with anything that I could eat or found comfort in. Mac and cheese, pizza, sushi, Chinese food, or a simple home cooked meal. (I LOVE FOOD) I have to say I'm definitely an emotional eater and during any hardship or celebration I found myself eating, or rewarding myself with food. I have to say it was hard losing her but I was thankful for the gift she gave me, a wonderful husband and supportive best friend.

I met Matthew the January before my aunt passed away. The first year was a roller coaster but we finally knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. God gave me so much grace and understanding that I never had before with other partners. Matthew had this incredible desire and strength when I was at my weakest. So on November 15th, 2014 we got married with the support of our family and friends by our side.

I dislike the fact I was 250lbs on my wedding day, although all I remember was being incredibly happy and blessed. Now we are in the process of trying to start a family and I've become more than discouraged. Ever since I came off my birth control I've not ovulated once. I know I'm going to have to lose weight while having PCOS to even have a period. This diet has been the only diet besides the diabetic low calorie diet that has worked for me. I not only want to do this but need to do this.

1st Round Goal: Be under 220lbs
Overall Goal: 145lbs

I would love to complete two rounds before my birthday but that all depends on how well I stabilize in P3. Although I can't even think about that right now It's literally one day at a time. I just want to get through this first week with between a 7 to 10lbs loss.
