Went to the doctor and took control of my health.
Good for you, Martin! Had you been feeling badly or was this just a regular checkup?
It was a follow-up visit because we have been discussing some weight loss alternatives. Ever since I moved out here I have gained a lot of weight and have been only temporarily successful at losing it. I am currently fullfilling my insurance company's criteria in order to get bariatric lap-band surgery. This was not my first choice but I have history of diabetes in both sides of my family - I am not HUGE but I need to lose the weight and nothing has worked so far. I am actually working really hard to change how I eat now (X's a day, portion control and healthier food) so when I get the surgery I will be successful and the transition won't be as drastic.
Yes - I do exercise also - although not nearly as much as I would like to - after a 12 hour day - it's hard to find the motivation to go work out.
