DR VISIT ON TUESDAY & I AM DREADING IT
I HAVE TO GO SEE DR BROUSSARD ON TUESDAY AND ACCORDING TO MY SCALES I HAVE ONLY LOST 7LBS SINCE I SEEN HIM IN JUNE. HE TOLD ME THAT HE WANTED TO SEE ME IN 3 MONTHS BECAUSE I HAD LOST 22LBS IN THE 3 MONTHS PRIOR TO SEEING HIM IN JUNE SO HE THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE TO SLOW ME DOWN. WELL EVIDENTLY MY BODY LISTENED TO HIM AND SLOWED ITSELF DOWN AND I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT!!! I WANTED TO LOSE AT LEAST 10LBS BEFORE I SAW HIM BUT THAT IS NOT GONNA HAPPEN. DONT GET ME WRONG....I AM SOOOO EXCITED ABOUT THE AMOUNT THAT I HAVE LOST SO FAR AND I KNOW THEY ARE JUST NUMBERS ON THE SCALE BUT I REALLY REALLY WANT TO GET TO MY FINAL GOAL! I AM VERY CLOSE AND AM STILL WORKING ON GETTING THERE. ANYWAY IF ANYONE IS GOING TO BE AT WEIGHTWISE ON TUESDAY AROUND 10AM GIVE ME A HOLLER! CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE ON A JOB WELL DONE AND THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT IN THE PAST YEAR!

I sympathize, Kim. At least you will not have gained 4 lbs. in 3 months' time, like I did! I was so upset! When Dr. Walton walked through the door, I said, "Dr. Walton, if you fuss at me, I'll cry." I meant it; he knew it, too.
He didn't fuss at me. He was concerned, as was I, but he didn't fuss at me. I know that I'm dealing with some emotional stuff--wanting to lose more weight but fighting it at the same time. He and I came up with a plan, and, so far, so good (after 1 week). :)
Dr. Walton said that they have a 3-fold purpose: education, encouragement, and accountability. He said I need encouragement more than the other two. I agree. It was all I could do not to cancel that appointment, because I did not want to be a disappointment. Had I known I would show a gain, I probably would have canceled.
Just knowing that Dr. Walton wasn't disappointed in me, just concerned, has taken such a weight off me. I know that I care too much what other people think, especially those I see as authority figures. It's something I'm working on.
I think Dr. Broussard will see this as your body naturally slowing down. He will probably tell you he wants to see a certain weight loss for next time, though. [maybe] I really don't think he'll be upset. Just remind him of how well you've done so far. :)
Blessings,
Mary

Oh Kim, you look so wonderful, please don't get too upset! I am sure you are getting frustrated at being so close but you have done such an awesome job getting this close. Be patient & I will be patient about the major slow down in my loss. Have a great doctor visit, just as Mary said, you LOST weight, this should make the doc happy. Keep smiling!

You look fantastic! That smile on your face on your avatar tells me that you are happy and loving life! Yeah for you!!
I'm sure you are aware as well of those valleys that you will encounter. Just work the program and be honest with yourself.
We all stumble from time to time, it's the picking ourselves up and moving forward that counts!
Best of luck sweety!
