First Things First

Hi everyone!!!

Please bare with me as it is my first time blogging! I am so excited to get this blog going and share all my knowledge with you. Yay it is finally here!



If this blog reaches at least one person who is suffering from PCOS and doesn't know how to deal with it then I will consider it a success.



According to wikipedia PCOS is defined as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pcos- "one of the most common female endocrine disorders affecting approximately 5%-10% of women of reproductive age (12-45 years old) and is one of the leading causes of infertility. " Even though having PCOS isn't an ideal situation for anyone since it has some negative health aspects, the good news is that you can totally live a full life with it if you take care of yourself and take proper precautions.



Before we go any further I will state the point of this blog.. 1st - To serve as a hub and a starting point for anyone who wants to learn a little about a fellow PCOSer who has dealt with it for 12 years on her own and devised a weight loss program and a way of life while working as a Pastry Chef ( of all the careers on the planet) what an oxymoron! If I could do it believe me YOU can do it too. 2nd -To be a reference for posted recipes that I have tweaked, invented or reproduced from other sources to help you with your new "way of life" -- I don't believe in the word diet -Bleh! and 3rd- To provide a window into my life and activities on the culinary frontier.

Coming up next... before and after photos and an explanation of my journey with PCOS thus far
