Weight

[Guest guest]

In 2001 I lost 14 pounds on the point counting program. It worked but

it was a lot of work. It's like a part-time job keeping track of

everything going into your mouth. And I already had a full-time

traveling job, contingent call-in job and I was going to

school...last thing I needed was something else. When I was diagnosed

with PA, another full-time job, I stopped the point counting program.

I've tee-teered with 2 pounds until recently. At the doctor's the

other day I had gained the 2 plus 3. I had already made up my mind

that I would see what the doctor could recommend (another pill if

necessary). The only thing I got was a lecture (she called it a

discussion) on calories in vs. calories out...duh like I'm stupid or

something. Between prednisone and thyroid it isn't that easy. I go to

water fitness 2 times per week and walk almost every day 1.5 miles.

It doesn't seem like a lot to some but it's an improvement for me.

She can only tell me to do more or eat less...easier said than done.

I can only change things, I guess, if I'm up for the challenge.

Another full-time job to add to the two I truely get paid for and the

graduate school I'm starting tomorrow. Anyway, I'm back to square

one...me. Just thought I would add my weight story to the board.
