My Birthday Today
You know, it's official- I am fast approaching the 40 mark-- Okay in two years, but I tend to get a bit morose on my birthday....
Except this year-- I am not feeling too badly. I think it has to do with how good I feel about myself this year verses many of the previous years. If I forget my panic attacks about gaining weight again, I am so happy with my accomplishments this year. I can do a spinning class! I am not diabetic, and my cardiologist and PCP are not lecturing me-- they are HAPPY with my progress and hopeful about my health. This time last year, they were discussing putting me on diabetic meds and letting me know I would be diabetic very soon if I did not do something NOW!. I never took the subway because I was embarrassed about huffng and puffing up the stairs. I was on three additional meds for cholesterol and high blood pressure (down to one for each). I hid at home because the thought of trying to be a social butterfly looking awful bothered me.
Most importantly, I did not know about the OH message board, and I did not have you wonderful people to support through this process. Thank you all so much for your friendship, and support; for sharing your successes with me. I value you all so much!
