So Tuesday marked 1 month since I was officially diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and put on blood pressure meds. My Dr. wanted to see me for a follow up. While I didn't remember what my previous dr. office weight was from July, I knew I'd been doing my "MFP" best....so I was a bit excited to see her reaction.
Can I say it was the best DR appt EVER. I've been overweight/obese my whole life. Dr appts usually bring the finger wag and "you should lose some weight" But not today. I had lost 13 pounds since my last appt!!! Also, my blood pressure was PERFECT!!! I told her I wanted to show her I was taking the diagnoses seriously and was going to do my darnedest to reverse things. She was so pleased...she said I got an A+ and even gave me a s/f sucker.
I really don't want to be popping meds the rest of my life. Each day is one day closer to being rid of those pills.
