Major NSV

A little of the back story: I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, and there's been times when my knees/feet/hands/shoulders hurt so bad that I wouldn't walk or pick up my baby. I see my rheumatologist regularly. She's mentioned a few times that I should lose a few lbs, because the extra weight puts unnecessary pressure on my knees, which bothered me. She is also very much into healthy living in general.

Well, I had an appointment with her this morning. First time since I started losing weight. She was VERY impressed by my weight loss and my health in general. I told her I started running and am feeling great. My joint pain is very rare now. And I’m not even back on my strong meds yet!!! (I’ve been off since before I got pregnant 2 years ago). I told her I am watching what I’m eating and I try to eat as little of the processed stuff as possible. Anyway, she told me she is doing a class at the hospital about healthy living and wellbeing and she asked if I would come and speak to the class about my journey. She said I am her first “self-motivated” patient, and she is very impressed with my progress :-)
