First Weigh In!

Yesterday was my first weigh in since starting my diet. I have been checking on my scale but I am not sure how accurate it is. It was actually pretty close. I got there an hour early and hungry but I did would not eat until after the weigh in.

I am proud to announce that I have lost 26 lbs! I am so happy.

Changes Needed

On my holidays I went to see my doctor for a referral to Dr. Poon.  He specializes in weight loss.  It is also covered under OHIP.  Honestly I did not think I would get in because previous blood work has came back fine with the exception of my iron levels.  When I went to my first appointment they went over my blood test results.  I was rather shocked, I am borderline diabetic, borderline high cholesterol and high triglycerides.  Thankfully it was caught in time.  

I am on a very strict diet.  I thought it would be hard to follow but it has been pretty easy.   The sugar withdrawal has not been so bad.  I have been agitated easily and have experienced body aches.  There where times where I just wanted to give in to the want for McDonald's or the double cheese pizza.  When I stand on my scale at home and see how well I am doing I just can't go back.  I do not want to deal with the health issues of a diabetic.  I need to be healthy for my family.  

Moving Forward to be healthy!
