But for how long?!

PCOS was like a shackle on my ankle, a burden on my shoulder.

I have never heard of it prior to my diagnosis. Since that moment, it changed my life forever. Trying to manage PCOS was like:

- Go on a diet! Workout everyday!
- Eat this! Avoid that!
- Take this pill! Take that pill!
- Don't do this! Do that!

Aarrgghh!! I went into frenzy and pondered to myself-

"But, for how long?!" 😳

The answer is- forever. Yes forever. There is no cure for PCOS.

I dived in. Without thinking. And it made me so miserable. So, i decided to be off any meds and took my time to learn about PCOS, its symptoms (and what i have), and how to properly manage it through healthy eating, regular exercise and nutrition. This is when i learn about Shaklee.

When I understand PCOS and its causes and effect the question has changed its direction.

PCOS was like a shackle on my ankle, a burden on my shoulder. But, for how long?! - I don't want it to be forever!!

So i will eat better, exercise regularly and take Shaklee as long as it's going to take. So i can be better and healthier and reverse all the PCOS symptoms that i have!

See how the situation is reversed?

What I learned:

1. There is no short cut in managing PCOS or in achieving any goals in life. It will take a long time and it will be tough. But it will be worth it
2. Medication can counter PCOS symptoms. But it also has side effects. (I took metformin for sugar levels and i was down with diarrhoea, headache, nausea and other pills affected my mood). Learn and understand the medication that you are advised to take
3. Go natural! Reverse your PCOS symptoms with healthy eating, regular workout and supplements. It will take a longer time but it is always better!
4. Don't be too hard on yourself. Take one day at a time. I was too hard on my self and because of that i give up and get discouraged easily.
5. Small progressive is still progress! Pat your back when you see small improvement. (With PCOS managing sugar levels, hormones and weight is tough as hell)
6. Even if your weight don't budge, your body composition will better! Other symptoms may improve. Look at the overall achievements! (The very reason why i got discouraged)

To my PCOS superstars ⭐️⭐️⭐️ don't be shackled by PCOS. Learn about PCOS and understand you body. When you understand, you will want to change and improve your self.

Happy Monday!
