Back on the Train again

After a month of trying to do it on my own, I rejoined my commercial weight loss center. I feel more in control and accountable so it is so worth it. The money I spend today is so much less than I could possibly spend to be in poor health in the future. I think of it as an investment against pills, doctors and hospitals. On a downside, I had to cancel my Y membership since the classes I wanted to attend were only offered on nights that I worked or had graduate school. On the upside, I am able to attend the fitness center at the university where I work for free! Yay, me! Today, I measured all of my body parts for my blog. I consider it a reckoning of sorts. Denial was getting me nowhere. P.S. My doctor told me that I was headed straight for diabetes if I didn't do something about my weight. He's a nice guy. The first obgyn to look me straight in the eye and say "you have to start caring about you..not your career." He meant that I need to make sure that I come first with my health. What an eye-opening moment!

Your doc is right!  It's important to do this for you!  Good for you getting back with a program.  The support really helps.
