Offering support :)

Number1Goof

Today, I spent some time looking in the forum for introducing yourself, and I was overwhelmed by how many people are just looking for personal support on this website. I wanted to support each and every person I came across who was asking for someone to support them and care about their progress. My boyfriend suggested I start my blog as a way to aim support and advice to a larger group of people instead of individually. So, here I am.

A little bit about me. I'm currently a medical assistant at a family practice clinic. I am touched each and every day by the patients that come to our clinic. I spend a great deal of time just talking to them about various issues, many being some of the issues I ran across from people on this site. For example, I saw one woman on here who takes blood pressure and cholesterol medication. She is looking to lose weight to help keep these two things under control. There are SO many factors that go into lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. Unfortunately, not every doctors office will go into specifics. Some will simply tell you to lose weight. That is why I started this blog. I have spent uncountable hours after work researching the best diets for specific issues and tools that are the most efficient and user friendly to use, and I enjoy being able to pass along that information. Not all of it is related to health issues requiring medical attention. This was just the first example that came to mind.

I hope I will see many followers for my blog. But, if I only have one and it helps them, then that is more than enough. I'll be randomly choosing topics, probably influenced by encounters at work that day. If you have anything you'd like me to address or research, please let me know!

I look forward to hearing your input.
