From Pain to Happiness

Yippee!! Finally decided to talk about it. Don't know where to start though but I know that I made the right decision going on low carb lifestyle. You see, I been struggling with Ovarian Cysts since 2006 then 2013 I noticed the pain got a lot worse.....hmmm..On a scale of 1 - 10, I'd say 9. Gradually it moved to 11. Lol, yep it was that bad. I was diagnosed with Endometrioma, Ovarian Cyst and several endometrioses by 2015 and suddenly life became a chore. Every month was filled with dread of my period. Severe PMS hits me 7 days to the my period, then the pain starts from Day 1 and ends with severe Back ache and labor-like contractions on the 5th to 6th day.
My Dr told me that I needed to lose weight. I was ballooning up to 90kg due to hormonal imbalance. Yep, I needed to lose weight but how in god's name do I start? I tried lots of diets but didn't lose much. I turned to jogging like 2 miles daily but almost died when the cyst got twisted, so exercising was out of it. Thankfully I ran into low carb high fat diet through a random comment made on Facebook.
The only problem was that I was flat broke and some of the meals there cost a fortune so I decided to get "ketofied" through Naija food. As I type this i'm 67kg going on 60kg and my life has changed for the best. I feel great! I look great!! Best of all NO MORE PAIN!!! Those nagging endometrioses are no where to be found thanks to low carb and high fat diet.
