I have come to the determination that I eat too many carbs. I have been fighting my addiction ever since I tried a low carb diet for the first time a few years ago. But now I am realizing what I am eating is hurting me more than I ever knew!
Long story short....I am giving up caffeine. Day 1 off it and no shoulder pain! WTF? After experiencing extreme joint pain all week, I have decided to lay off the caffeine and sugar (including all bread and my beloved iced coffee). I just can't do this anymore. Let's just say, it is affecting ALL areas of my health (even down south...and my dr even told me what is happening is caused by too many carbs).
My mom is diabetic, so it's quite possible I have an insulin resistance. This would explain the joint pain, dry skin, and fatigue...and it could have contributed to the miscarriage I suffered, if it led to clotting.
We want to try again starting in December. It is my goal to be in tip top shape when the time comes. If there is anything I can do to live my best life and prevent another loss, I am going to do it. The more I read into things, the more I am seeing some things need to change....starting with my diet. I also plan to exercise regularly (just "ran" a mile today!).
Before it was about vanity. Now it's about my health and future fertility. It's on, bitch!! Wish me luck! :)
