I’ve lost a fair bit of weight recently (11bs to be exact) - I wasn’t fat before, but my wobbly bits wobbled a lot more than they do now,, and I’ve tried to lose weight before so it’s not as if I couldn’t afford to lose it! The thing is, when I’ve tried diets in the past, I’ve lost a few pounds in the beginning and then spent the rest of the time HUNGRY! Recently though I have just lost my appetite, and the weight has dropped off me. I’m not starving myself or anything stupid and I actually FORCE myself to eat when I’m not feeling hungry because I know I need to keep my energy levels up!
Anyway, I went to the doctor today for a couple of reasons … firstly I’ve noticed a mole on the back of my neck that is itchy, so she has recorded the measurements of it on my records … and secondly to mention about my loss of appetite. She measured and weighed me … and then pronounced me absolutely perfect for my height!!
It was a phenomenal thing to hear! For somebody who has struggled with weight issues her whole life to be told that your body IS in fact “perfect” … well it was a nice ego boost put it that way! My weight is bang slap in the middle of the ideal weight for my height, my body fat percentage is okay, my BMI is okay and I am looking better than I have looked in years! I have to admit though that I do still have huge body image issues but that is an on going battle!
Still, she was concerned about my loss of appetite so sent me off for blood tests. I HATE having blood tests … not because I’m scared of needles or anything like that (although who LIKES being poked with a needle! LOL) but because my veins are nonexistant (and I mean nonexistant!!) The nurse had two attempts to stab me before calling the doctor in to do it!!!
Sooo butchered and bruised … the blood results are back in a week!
