I got a letter in the mail yesterday saying the extra $10,000 in life insurance I asked for thru work is rejected because of my height vs. my weight.
Never thought that would happen. Makes me feel terrible. Like, hey fat ***, you could croak any day. Oh well, at least I'm 31 and can change now before I get diabetes, high blood pressure, or a heart attack like the rest of my family. I've done good so far this year. I started Jan. 1st to make small improvements. I cut way back on diet pop. I barely drink one a day. I now drink water and crystal light. I joined weight watchers and have lost close to 20 pounds. At 25 pounds lost I'll have reached my 10% target. I haven't missed a meeting. This week I've been super sick with a bad head and chest cold so I went to my meeting and I weighed in. I'm up .2 pounds. The outfit I usually wear was dirty and I was too sick to make sure it was clean so I wore a heavy top and jeans and I usually wear jogging pants and a light shirt. Oh well. Naked on the scale at home I'm down so I'll worry about it at my weigh in next week. Just the life insurance thing brought me back a step.
