Wow, This might a bumpy ride for anyone following this trail
Hey everyone I remember the DIS announcements about WISH and thought that is a board I will never visit or certainly post on but here I am and right now glad it is here.
With number 50 coming up next year I figured hay how long has it been since I visited the doctor then it was where is that letter they sent telling me my last doctor was leaving town and here is the new one that is taking over. There is a big mistake here the letter is dated Sept 2001..time flies when you dont want to here bad news.
OK make an appointment show up early and the nurse does the prelims. Blood Pressure high not scary but slightly raised eyebrows.
Next the scale which except for the last doctors office visit in 2000 is the only time I have been weighed and it is obviously still broken. Cool down from 341 to 338 in only 5 years. Heck at this rate I will be back to my Army weight in 165-170 years.
To keep everyone from falling asleep ends up after a few more visits and much blood work High blood pressure, insanely high cholesterol and lets not forget elevated blood sugar.
End result doc says take this pill once a day this one once a day and these twice a day before meals. Stupid me I say doc that is only 2 meals not my 4 plus snacks. Drum roll as I start feeling dizzy and sort of hear no more sweats cut down on the carbs and start fading fast here a 1400 calorie a day diet. While lying prone on the office floor he adds since you have Hepatitis C no more Vodka. I think it was very dark out by the time I regained conscientious. Bill for the copay and $742 for new scale pinned to my shirt. That was one sucky day-week-month.
June 13 I said my farewells to my buddies a freezer packed with mini Reece cups Klondike bars and a 1.75 liter of Stoli. Along with those a wonderfully huge sized can of Cashews pieces available at your local Sams club. No more ladies at McDonalds smiling faces telling me have a good days while handing me my number 2 breakfast and number 2 or 3 Lunch daily.
My goal is to drop half my body weight basically around 170 would be great.
Oh, one point last diet back in 1985 or sometime I was one of those other people hated because I can have huge drops for months without starving.
Phone rings the doc again you need lots of exercise also click.. why wont this man leave me alone.
Real info started Diet and a little exercise on June 12th
Start weight 338 pounds with 5 minutes on Elliptical that had been a wonderful auxiliary closet and it is too hot outside to walk during lunch at work.
Aug 11th 290 pounds 15 minutes on the elliptical and still to hot outside at lunch so I got a treadmill and should be up to an hour a day by this weekend.
Elliptical are just as bad as stairs to fat guys like me 20 minutes will be my max for a long time.
1st goal 240 by Dec 3rd my next trip to WDW and UF. I really want to go to IOA and UF and ride the rides instead of sitting in Backwater and Alchemy all day since I am too fat to fit on anything.
Wow just think how nice it would be not to get winded walking up that sneaky hill when entering DAK.
I hope to post weekly updates but sorry they will arrive with some smart a>> comments.
Thanks DIS and everyone that took the time to read my dribble I have enjoyed reading many of the other Journals the past few weeks.
