Thanks for all the great words of encouragement last week on my
Just Another Fat Girl post. I think that post had the most replies (to the post and via email) ever! It felt good to know that even when I feel small and mis-represented to the rest of the world, I have other people to connect with on the blog and beyond.
Just a follow up to that situation. I had my follow up appointment yesterday. Different doctor. A much better doctor. She actually listened to me and we talked about my lifestyle. Her eyes practically bugged out of her head when I told her I eat about a pound of leafy greens a day. She looked over my blood work and it was good. No chance of diabetes, or high cholesterol (in fact she said my cholesterol was fantastic). That made me feel good. My blood pressure is still a little high. It was down from last week, but a week by week go isn't the best gauge of status, so she put me on some meds for it. Nothing too serious.
