      “I have never felt better about myself. I sit here crying because I am getting healthy! I am taking my life into my own hands. I am no longer a victim. I do not have to live like everyone else is going to fix it. I see life through new eyes, and I have the ability to choose good things. To choose health. To choose self-care. To choose self-nurture. To choose me.”

       —NELDA

      When you stop playing the victim and take the power into your hands, you make the decisions that make you better. There is no waiting around for things to get better on their own or for a doctor to prescribe a magic pill. You’re in charge!

      A PCOS Diva is not a victim (feeling hopeless and looking for pity). She is in control (in charge and hopeful).

      Good news. You’re already embracing an in-control mindset. Choosing to become a PCOS Diva is empowering. Choosing this book was an empowering decision that set you on the right path. You are taking control. You are already on your way!

      From now on, you will make a conscious choice every day to be in control of your health, happiness, and PCOS. Positive habits, like eating foods that heal your body, will spring from that choice.

       From a Fighting to a Partnering Mindset

      Now that you are taking control of your PCOS, it’s time to get your mental and physical selves working together. I often hear women say they are “fighting” their symptoms or “conquering” or “battling” PCOS. Let’s stop approaching our lives that way. Here’s why. When you have symptoms, it is not that your body is fighting or sabotaging you. Symptoms are your body’s way of communicating with you. Think of it as your body waving a red flag that something is wrong and asking for help. For example:

      Irregular periods → “Our hormones are out of whack. Can we fix this?”

      Acne → “We have some inflammation going on. Can we tame these flames?”

      Weight gain (especially around the middle) → “Our insulin is way too high. We are processing as fast as we can, but let’s get this under control!”

      The moment you team up with your body and listen to its signals, you can hear those signals more clearly and soothe the symptoms in a loving way.

      Divas take control of their health one step at a time. We know that our bodies are sending us signals about what is wrong and how to fix it. We work hard to tune in to those messages and work in sync. We don’t fight ourselves!

       From a Lack to an Abundance Mindset

      Approaching life from a lack mindset means focusing on the things that don’t go our way or what we don’t have. Instead, we can consciously choose to approach life from an abundance mindset, celebrating every day’s small triumphs and blessings.

      Approaching the day from a place of abundance, gratitude, and positivity, looking for the good, changes everything. You will start to feel lighter and your stress levels will fall, and as a result you will begin to feel better. Solutions will present themselves.
