Well, I am back, for the third time.. I haven't been on here in a while, and there are some changes, I see. =] I've been making some changes, as well... suppose I should just tell my story here to get it out, yes?
I went to the doctor yesterday to have a physical done. My doctor (well, she's actually a nurse practitioner) told me that I NEED to lose weight because I have a high risk of developing diabetes or heart- related problems. She ordered some blood tests to be taken, and I went in today to have them done.. about a half hour ago, I got a call saying that my triglycerides are at 194, and they should be below 136. Yikes!
I started looking on this site again last night, thinking I might pick up a few tips here and there to losing a bit of weight.... but now I'm scared. I don't want to be sick, I don't want health problems. I went to a counselor for the first time last night (as recommended by the nurse prac.), and I've decided that yesterday HAS to be the beginning of the rest of my life. I need to make significant changes in my life. I'm starting the changes with food by throwing out the cake that is downstairs as soon as I finish this post. I'm tired of being sick and tired and lethargic and depressed. It's time for spring cleaning (even though it's winter, I know...). It's BEEN time for the past 5 years that I've said I was going to lose weight, but never have. I'm the heaviest I've been in all of my 18 years, and it's gotta go.
I'm going from
