I love food!

Yesterday I received the results of my blood test in my email and I was so disappointed, but today I went to my doctor and she was ecstatic.

Not only have I lost a total of 55 pounds, but my blood sugar is well within normal bounds, my blood pressure is close to what she is looking for, and I am headed in the right direction!

I still have a long way to go, but I am already off the diabetes medicine and one other drug, so all I am taking now is medicine for my blood pressure and some fish oil for cholesterol.

I know I've done this before and failed, but I think I've learned a few things this time. I am not eating frozen or prepared foods and I am not setting a weight I am likely to reach as my goal.

Why? You ask why I would set a goal I can't reach, but that's an easy one. Once I hit my goal I no longer get the little buzz I love when I get on the scale and lose a little more weight. As long as there is a lower goal I think I can continue to eat healthy.

There is no danger of me getting too thin. I love food way too much for that!
