Perimenopause

I have decided that I don't want to be on the pill anymore. Now, many of you are probably thinking it's because I am too embarrassed to pick up my prescription. While that is partially true, it's mostly because I am slowly gaining weight and the pill isn't helping matters.

So I have spent most of last weekend researching. I really didn't know I was this person, but I am definitely drawn to more holistic kind of healing. I don't want you to think I am pulling out my crystals and burning incense to the earth goddess for healing powers, but I am certainly not keen on taking more and more drugs.

So I have discovered a website called Women To Women. I read everything on that website and thought that joining their program couldn't hurt. I have decided that if I am going to try it, I will do it full-force. I will be taking the supplements twice a day and rubbing progesterone cream into my skin twice a day. Also, they recommend a complete overhaul of your nutrition. I just so happen to be very familiar with the program they are recommending, so that is good. The hard part is the detox process.

I quit all caffeine, refined grains, processed food, and sugar...among other things. It is not easy! I told Carlos that I was going to wean myself off the caffeine and he encouraged me to go "cold turkey". I think he hates me.

For two days I have suffered with a migraine so bad that blinking hurts. Carlos' remedy..."then don't blink". I would have smacked him but it would have hurt my head. It's a little better today, but the sugar cravings are out of control. Pray for my toxic little soul!

Love you!
