Yep, you read that right. 327.2 That's how much I currently weigh in pounds. I am so disappointed in myself. I hurt my leg a year ago, and totally let myself go. This ends now.
Yesterday, I went to see the Metabolic Weight Loss doctors at my clinic. Dr. Timsina was so kind and knowledgeable. He treated me like a human, not a number and definitely not the number on the scale. We had a good discussion, and we have a plan. He also diagnosed me with something called Lipedema. I have a general idea of what it means, but I need to do more research to discuss it logically here on my blog.
Saturday, I will start a combination of Metformin and Phentermine to aid my journey. I'm also starting the steps needed to get cleared for Gastric Sleeve Surgery. I'm not 100% sold on surgery, but we decided it was better to start the process now, and be in the system, than decided 4 months down the road and have to start the process over again. To that end, I'll be going to see Sleep Apnea again and getting compliant with that too.
This is not an easy fix process. It's going to take work. I will have good days, and bad. I know this, and I am heading into the future with clear eyes. My hope is, that by documenting my journey, I will see where I came from on the bad days and remind myself that it's going to be worth the struggle in the end and celebrate my victories as they come.
Join me, if you will, on my journey to a healthier me.
