Lynne - Oh my - another update

[Guest guest]

Kudos to you Lynne!!

 

I don't own a bathroom scale - haven't since the early 1980s. I found it much,

much more stressful to weigh myself all the time than to look at myself in the

mirror for the truth. The only time I weigh myself now is when I go in for a

doctor's appointment - and even then I have refused at times to get on the

scale. I'm actually looking forward to my 3 month check up in June (yes, we're

a month late in the " 3 month " area) to seek just how much weight I have lost. I

also can't wait to see the look on my physician's face when she sees the " new

Donna " before her! hahahaha!

 

When I learned that refined sugar was the cause of my depression I was really

angry at both my physician and my meds manager because neither of them ever

asked me what I was eating before they prescribed the anti-depressants; they

just said, here's a pill. Then when I learned that refined sugar was the

culprit and asked my physician why she had never asked me about that I was even

more upset when she told me that she has the same reaction to refined sugar.

Ummm . . . helllllloooo! She told me that when she first got out of med school

she would ask her patients what they were eating and suggest that they eat a

healthier, more organic diet and her patients would get very angry with her - so

she stopped asking. She said she would again incorporate that line of

questioning into her practice. Has she done it? I don't know.

Me too Donna - I never measured myself before I started unfortunately but

altogether I have gone down by 23lbs - I wrote a little while ago that I had

three sets of clothes - small , medium and large - the small hadn't been

visited for a long while but I am in them again now - so good - I have a waist

line again - my stomach could do with a little less but apart from that -

unbelievable. The larger clothes I have finally sent to the charity shop.

Love Lynne
