As anyone who has read my blog so far may know, I decided to make the switch from mostly veggies and animal products to whole plants; everything plants! I was so unaware that a lot of people can't understand how someone can eat JUST plants. As if meat, eggs and dairy are the only food groups!
Anyway, I feel I've been luckier than most with the decision to transition. Some of my family members feel it's a phase and I can see why. I've tried so many different things. Honestly, this is the only thing that has helped me lose weight, get mental clarity and such. I plan for this to be a lifelong commitment.
Moving forward, I wanted to fix my PCOS and things are changing and getting better, slowly. But there's one thing I never thought would change - my vision. My eyes were getting so bad to the point that looking at this very screen for more than a few minutes would give me a massive migraine. I had to wear a hat at work because the lights were too bright. I could barely see from one end of the machine I work on to the other (and it's not a very big machine...)
However, my vision has cleared up, my light sensitivity has decreased to a more normal level (I'll be going to a specialist early next year to see how well it's improved), and I think even my color vision has improved. I'm not sure if that's even possible, but I'm finally believing in the impossible now.
I'm happy that I can do the things I enjoy again, like writing and sculpting without suffering for the next few days. I never thought that chaning my diet would improve my eyes so drastically. I could go on and on about how wonderful it is, but there's not enough time for that!
I just wanted to let everyone who is following this know that so much more than just PCOS can be conquered when transitioning to a whole food, plant based diet. It's truly incredible.
If you want to make a switch, there's so much information for you online or you can email me. I have a link below and I hope you'll check it out.
Even though it may seem like I'm avoiding my main goal of this blog, I'm not. Work got busy, holidays have come and gone and more are coming. At the beginning of the next year, I will get back to this blog. I need the time to spend with family and get things ready for Christmas. Thank you so much for reading and I hope this is inspiring to anyone who is struggling with vision issues.
