Back from the doctor's

[Wagamama]

i went to the doctors today cause i've been feeling very strange. After tons of bloodwork and tests she told me to put a temporary stop to my dieting and excessive exercise. Apparently my white and red blood counts are out of whack and my iron level is unbelievably low. I've always been anemic but she said this is not at an "anemic level". So, now i'm on an undiet diet. I'm supposed to follow the food pyramid issued by the usda for the next few days/weeks until we figuir out whats going on... I'm not really sure what to feel, should i be scared? bummed out? angry?

sorry, i just needed to get this off my chest.

Good luck with everything. Sorry you are having problems, but it is good that you went to the doctor to try and sort it all out.
Just try to keep a positive attitude! Hope everything turns out all right..... We are here for you!

I understand why you're confused- I'd feel the same way! On one hand it's like- YEAH!!!!!!!!! I can eat what I want- and on the ohter hand it's like- oh....... I've been dieting and doing so well- I don't want to eat what I want. And then there's the worry about the blood work. Everything will work out ok. Just eat to maintain, and try not to worry so much- we'll do that for ya! If you're still worried- call your doc back and ask for more details. Tell her you're concerned- she should talk to you until you understand a little better. When's you next appointment? Sometimes if you have a hint of what she's thinking it can alleviate some of your worries. I know when my doc does this to me my imagination gets carried away- so I've learned to ask- "what are some things that would cause this?". Then when I get the answers- I go home and do a little research. Maybe that wouldn't work for you, but it does help me. Good luck and remember we are all here for ya!

What a bummer, Wagamama. I know you are anxious to get things going but I am sure you know it is best to be healthy. Sometimes though it just helps to say that really stinks!

Here's to speedy test results so you can move forward!!!!!

I hope you are feeling better soon, sweetie. Do as the doctor says about following the food pyramid. When you have your strength back you can worry about any weight you need to lose and you can choose a very healthy eating plan to follow
