Where do I start? Okay ... I'm 5'2" and when I last went to the doctor I weighed in at 256!!! Yikes!!! My doctor (this is the second time I've been seen by her) told me I need to lose weight. Really??? I am well aware of that fact. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and I am pre-diabetic. Pretty scary.
I asked my doctor if she had a diet plan I could follow. She told me she does not give out written diets because she's found that her patients will follow it for awhile and then forget it. Okay ... so, where does that leave me? Seems I'm on my own to figure out how to lose weight. Oh sure, I know to limit calories and fat intake and exercise more, but I feel left to my own devices I'll only say, "To heck with it." Which, of course, is not the way to go.
I am a very rebellious woman, so I would appreciate some clues where to start in my quest to lose weight.
One thing that truly bothers me is that once I start to lose weight, people will say, "Have you lost weight?" That then puts me in a position of having people keeping track of how long I'll keep the weight off. One time I managed to lose 100 pounds. I had one woman tell me I was shrinking. So what do people want from me? It's so darn frustrating. I wish I could go away for two years and come back home and no one would notice me. Sigh.
By biggest weakness is chocolate.
Well, that's my story for now.
By the way, how do you get those nifty "pictures" under your name and those cute icons in your posts?
Looking forward to your replies.
