During the new year everyone starts making resolutions and thinking about the previous year and their goals for the coming one. This year my reflection of 2016 has not been favorable. Like many people, my consensus is that 2016 was pretty terrible. Specifically, I had a bad time with my migraines and they might even be getting worse. I will be turning 20 this year. Now is the time for me to be out of pain and happy with my life, moving forward into a successful future.

How can I do that? So far medical Botox has been working for me, but it may not be enough. I think it is time for a change. I have been previously content with my body shape and size, but I have been told that weight may be a factor in my headaches or at least hormones, which in turn may be causing them. In 2017 I am going to revamp my life and get healthy. While losing weight may not be the goal, it is certainly a happy side effect. I am going to start working out and eating healthy, tracking what I eat. I will also be keeping a detailed log of my migraines with symptoms, triggers, and relief actions to see what does and doesn't work for me. I want to improve my life and I truly believe that these efforts will help with my pain.

This year I am going to put myself first and focus on my health. I have had enough of feeling bad and being limited by chronic migraines. I believe that one day I will be rid of them, but not if I sit by and do nothing. 2017 is going to be my year.
