Hi all!

I'm really frustrated and need to vent a little. I've been having a hard time and so I have been trying to get some help. Last Thursday, I called my old counselor, but she's not supposed to see me because she works for a different medical clinic now. But she said she could see me short term, so we scheduled an appointment for Monday (December 19th).

That same day, I went to see my nurse practitioner and she referred me to a different counselor and I set up an appointment for today.

So, on Monday, I went to the appointment I had set up with my old counselor and waited 40 minutes, while everyone else was locking the doors. They said she was with a client and just to wait in the waiting room. I left after 40 minutes. I ran into her today and told her that I had been waiting for her on Monday, but then left. She apologized and said that she forgot. She said we could reschedule, but I said it's ok, I'll go try this new counselor and see how that goes. She said, ok, if it doesn't work out, you can call me again.

So today, I went to meet this new counselor! I thought I was having a good day and I thought I was doing good! But she kept saying to me: "You're really not doing good! Is this how you are normally?" Of course I said No.... I know I've been feeling like a zombie but I didn't think I was doing that badly!

Then, when I was talking about some of my stress she said to me: "Are you sure your husband/fiance wants to start over and have children at his age?" I said that one of my worries was that I had to hurry up and get pregnant, because he is getting older. My fiance is going to be 50 in March. Then, what she said really pissed me off!!! She said, "He already is old! At 50 he's considered a senior...(then she corrected herself and said no, that's 55)"

Ok, there are 13 years difference between me and my fiance! We've been together for 6 1/2 years and never until now, have I felt judged about the age difference! I went to this lady in the hopes to start feeling better, but instead I left feeling so pissed off and frustrated!!! Now, I have another appointment with her in January.... I really don't know what to do??? I need help, and this isn't working for me!!!

Anyhow, I just needed to share! Sorry gals!

CW: 179.6...lost 3.4 lbs this week. Basically took off the past 2 weeks of silliness and gain!!! Didn't make it to 150...but lost 11 lbs and I am motivated again. I want to kick the 170's to the curb next. I have enjoyed the support and friendship here with you all. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.

CW: 181.4

Down 3lbs and I surpassed my Xmas goal! I was shocked since I haven't worked out as much as I wanted to this week thanks to a sinus infection.

I forgot to do my measurements this morning so I'll post those tomorrow.

Thanks to Jenn for starting this challenge and maintaining all the charts, and to all my fellow CCCers for helping to keep me motivated!! It's been a great journey and I hope we continue our efforts together!
