SAY WHAT???????????

I went to my PCP this morning for a monthly check up. My blood pressure is still giving me a fit. (mostly stress). Any way, I have now lost 103 lbs which brings me down to 172 and a loss of 10 lbs this past month. Then the Dr said something I never thought I would hear. He said: "you need to slow down your weight loss." I looked at him and said "how"? I eat what I want and I eat reasonable and healthy. Yesterday I ate 3 tacos, bottom side first and did not eat the top with the lettuce and tomatoe. ( was proabably more like 2) Then last night I ate at the nursing home with mom and had baked chicken, a salad and carrots. I also had a breakfast bar that morning. Although I know I do not want to look unhealthy, my blood test are great he says. I am thankful that this has been easy for me. At least the eating part and loosing weight. I cannot handle the protein drinks so it looks like I will need to pick up on the carbs but mentally I am not ready to do that. Anyone else have this problem? It is so unusual compared to other post. I guess the big question is: How do you know when you need to stop and what should you do. Personally, I want to loose down a little more but if I have the TT that might take care of everything and get me into a size 12. But I have to wait another 6 months for that discussion.

I dont even know what to think about these doctors. Some make sense and others dont. I guess you have to just look at yourself and say "how do I feel?" and "would I feel better or worse if I lost a little more" just base it on your overall health and how much your weight should be for your height. I like to base my goal weight on the highest number on the normal weight for my height scale (thats after the tummy tuck!!!) theres always that to take into consideration. I still have alot to loose so I am definitely not where my doc would tell me to slow down yet but Im getting there and I tell ya... It would be nice to hear those words You are doing great you hang in there! Best Wishes oh and tuna is packed fuulll of protein and shrimp too! if you care for those foods since the protein drinks are hard for you to handle Keep that protein going! I have to take my own advice! Elizabeth M

Yeah doctors are weird... but probably as weird as the rest of the population. I go to my OBGYN he says... lose more weight you are only one pound below the effective birth control pill weight. Then I go to my ortho doc and he says... you have lost too much too fast slow down. In comparision to non doctors is about the same either lose more or stop losing. I love sugar free slurpees and the guy at the 711 told me that I need to eat and that I shouldn't live off of that!!! Ha if he only knew. I've had waiters and waitress look at me like I have a food issue because I took two bites of the chicken and that was enough. I'm with the last poster. I will lose weight till I'm at my recommend weight for my height and bone size? or until I think it's enough. Right now I'm in a size 10 or 9, and weight loss is suppose to end right around 15 or 18 months so I don't know what size i'll end up especially after the whole plastic surgery. I'm more concerned with becoming healthier with exercise and eating. Screw the doctors some or most of them aren't even in their healthy weight range.
