I went for my physical today, and first thing they want to weigh me. Of course I had on a sweatshirt and my tennis shoes, and I thought I don 't care. I just won't look, but the nurse, a male nurse, said my weight outloud and I almost freaked then and there as I have gained a few more pounds. I just tried to calm down and convinced my self that it was my shoes and clothes--at least a couple of the pounds. Oh hell.
Then the doctor says my cholesteral is worse and we will deal with it through diet. He took more blood for hormone check and blood calcium level pluse chest X-ray as I keep coughing up blood plus and antibiotic for the acute bronchitis I have developed. Plus a bone density test plus and plus and plus. He is a very nice doctor and thourough (my second time seeing him), and it is easy to talk to him. He understands how one can feel really horrible and no one at work knows as he had to do the same thing he said when he got divorced and went through a very nasty divorce. No one at work even knew, he said. His kids are in their mid teens and doing sh*tty in school, he said. They go from F's to A's to F's. He wanted custody, but lost and so he feels pretty helpless to do anything about the kid's school. He said he likes talking to me, and when I left there were around four or five patients waiting for him. I think I better come as his last patient next time rather than his first.
So, what does this have to do with eating, etc. He agreed I need to do the six snacks per day to lose weight and not overeat or eat the wrong things. He does not know that I tend to want to starve myself, and I don't want him to know. I am concerned, however, that the bone density test might give things away. See him again in three months, and I must lose weight any way I can. This is showdown time.
