Faith without works is dead

I am running with this particular title to remind myself and anyone who is listening that this weight lose is  about increased fertility as well as about my health.

I have made a major decision concerning my views on fertility, having a second child etc.
That decision is I am no longer going to take fertility medicine. I didn't like Letrozole, which is the generic of Femera... It has prolonged my period, and now my doctor wants to give me Provera, which is basically,progesterone. I don't want to keep putting all of these hormones in my body. I could not sleep tonight wrestling with the decision. I mean I literally could not sleep my soul was not at ease with the decision. So i have decided to let my body reset naturally. I am going to continue on this diet and I am not going to take Provera, or another round of Letrozole. Why you ask becauseee.........

It is not well with my soul.I woke hubbin up at 2am to discuss this, after some bleary eyed guffs and gawws he finally was like I agree no more fertility meds. His exact works were I wasn't comfortable with that route anyway but I could tell it was so close to your heart you needed to try...We are now on one accord.

I have researched researched researched and it looks like one of the main things causing this annovulation is being so grossly overweight. So I am going to stay on this low carb paleo diet and give my body some time.

My story with carbs goes back many many moons, but recently when we had only one car and was trying to pay off our debt I over indulged, like that is probably not even the half of it. I gorged on starches, sugars cookies fast food. You name it I was there. And of the 60lbs I gained in pregnancy and the 40 I had managed to lose I put on another 20 of that 40..doing the above.

As i have stated in this post previously research has shown that at least for people like myself a low carb count and exercise will help lose weight reduce insulin resistance, and overall get me going down the road of a more fertile me. ....So here we go....

Side note, learning what I am learning I will never let my daughters, yes claiming the second one, eat fast food two and three times a week, or even two or three times a month. Something is changing in me. I am getting mad, mad at myself for getting to this stage.

Update I am down another pound. Hoping to get down another 10/15 by end of March.
