No More Comfort Food. Damn.

Well, I had a Dr. appt today. And aside from the *delightful* (sense the sarcasm) experience of "getting to know" my OBGYN she told me the thing I was most dreading to hear. I need to lose 20 pounds.

Grrreat.

She suggested I join weight watchers. She did admit that my weight would make me a bit of an odd person at WW, but that with my 5'5" height, and my blood pressure as high as it is (not high per se, but high for my age) that I really need to lose some chub.

Damn.

So I'm hosting a pity party tonight (with some beer) and tomorrow I'm continuing my work out and starting a more strict diet. We'll see how it goes. If by the end of the summer I'm not down at all, I'll break down and join WW.

So I cried on my way home from the appt. and my mom said even with my weight what it is she cannot understand anyone telling me to lose anything.

I'm sad to say I'm feeling all of those feeling and urges from high school coming flooding back.


I hope I'm stronger now.

Your doc is CRAZY! I think you are perfectly fine! As long as youre healthy and feel good, I wouldn't stress it too much. She must be one of those that thinks all women should be teeny tiny.

Awww I am so sorry. That seems ridiculous to me. Aren't there other things you can do to lower your blood pressure??

Baby, they are crazy. You do not need to lose weight. You are gorgeous, wonderful, and amazing. I love you so much. You need to call me if you have those thoughts again. Don't hide it like in high school.
