I had an appointment with my Endocrinologist yesterday afternoon. It was really positive. I went in with a list of questions and she patiently answered all of them.
They weighed me. Let me preface by saying that I weighed myself at the end of March, and was pretty upset to find that I had gained quite a bit - I weighed 180. UGH. So. Yesterday. They weighed me, and I lost 11 pounds!
With the promotion, I have become a lot more active, and haven't been eating out of boredom. I'm naturally less hungry than before. I'm trying to eat healthier, and also to learn to listen to my body. When I'm full, I stop eating. When I'm feeling snack-ish, I have some home-made granola.
11 pounds! I'm extatic, and very proud of myself.
We talked about what my goal weight should be. We calculated my BMI and found that I should aim for 135 - 145 pounds. The way I'm going, that shouldn't be too terriby difficult. She said that if I keep doing what I'm doing, I may not need medication to regulate my blood sugars anymore.
w00t!!
