Reintroducing myself-21 Year Old From India (Predominantly Plant Based Paleo)

Fathima0712

I have been on again and off again on MFP for the last 5 years. I went from 71Kg to 58kg then gained it back till 66 and was maintaining. During the last year of uni, my weight has gotten upto 80kg (the last i checked) and I was diagnosed with PCOD, and high uric acid and im just 21.
Right now, I have a swollen knee, that is all red and has warmth and i dont even know what the cause is. But I am eating well, even though I cannot work out till this knee is fixed.
But i just landed an internship that might potentially lead to a proper job at a place i've dreamed of working and this health condition is getting in my way to make the work easier. I know this is my fault for not taking care of myself enough. I dont know whether i will have the motivation to keep myself going this time around, but I know now that if i dont, i will burn bright and die easily and i'd rather burn slowly shedding more light for people, than go off in a blaze of big fire that lasted for too less of time.
This is my story till now. I hope that my story going forward is on a more healthy and positive note.

According to my health conditions, the only way i can eat food right now is to do a plant based paleo, with occasional amount of organic chicken here and there. Red Meat has an effect on my Uric acid and normal chicken will have hormones that might further aggravate my PCOD. I also have gluten allergy and instead of riding the thin line between, plant based+ gluten free and such i have decided to follow this method to keep myself healthy and get fit.
