Today....
Hi everyone!
Its Anne again. Today -- today I hope to be a much better emotional day than yesterday. I had bad financial news from school, which is requiring me to rework plans. However, what is taken with one hand, is usually given with another (just not what you had originally wanted). It was a heartbreaking moment. I still get to attend school, just going to take longer than I had originally planned.
Upbeat news! Went to the information meet for the OTC at CMC (can't think of anymore achronyms to use.) I had a list of questions to ask and the presentation addressed every single one of them. Melaine (? my notes are in my car), was personable, informative, and funny. I look forward to working with her. My intake is scheduled out to nearly the end of October However, she did talk about adding some Monday dates. Gonna keep my finger crossed for an earlier date. In the meantime, I am going shopping for a nutritionist. I need to have six months anyways - lets get it started now. This way I can get my weight recorded as well.
Speaking of getting my weight recorded, I am 379 lbs, I am looking for a scale to use to be weighed. My doctors office isn't currently equipped to weigh me at this time. Curves, that I joined doesn't have a digital scale. So if anyone out there knows somewhere that I can get weighed accurately. I cannot stress this enough.
About 3 to 4 years ago, I was attempting another diet. I was having success the weight was coming off slowly, 5 lbs or so at a time. I was supposedly over 400 lbs at the time. I was in for a weigh in which I did each week. I was down to 379 when I came in (or so I thought), the same nurse had been weighing me, she informed me that I was 389. I told her that was impossible to gain 10 lbs in 1 week. She informs me, without apology, that she must have been doing the math wrong, she had reworked the number 4 times. I was crushed. A mistake, like this, was devistating. I didn't have it in me to get angry. I stopped, I quit, I felt I was driving myself crazy with it and so I quit.
I was hospitalized 2 years ago -- my weight? 379.
