Working On A Quirky Graph

It is amazing how much we continue to learn about self care and how much we can seemingly learn to go. Things we pick up that are chaotic good ideas (drinking water, yoga, sleep) and the chaotic evil (social media, fad diets, mlm quick ‘cures’). And all those many things in between (socializing, fasting, medicine and self doubt). I think, though, that self care can take many forms. It just depends on what works for you. The only thing you have to be careful of, is that it is truly self care and not just a form of depression in disguise I think. Since I’m not a professional that would all be conjecture on my part anyway.

I’ve entered a new phase in my weight loss journey. I finally contacted the weight loss center my doc wanted me to, and while I didn’t see the Dr she originally referred me to, the one I did see is the coolest person I’ve ever met. He is extremely laid back and doesn’t make it confrontational about my weight. In fact he is making it a journey for both of us.

With this news, I’ve officially lost 40 lbs in the last year. I’ve lost 10 in the last 3 weeks. Of course I’ve lost that weight because I can’t eat. The thought of food makes me nauseous, and some days I’m lucky if I can get a hard boiled egg down my throat. I am supposed to talk to my nurse practitioner soon so hopefully we can review, but to be honest I’d really like to lose another 10 lbs in the next month if possible before I go on vacation. Fingers crossed.
