It dawned on me today that I never actually got my "doctor's permission" to start a new diet. When the motivation struck, I just acted on it. He has "suggested" that I might do well to lose some weight, but he hasn't been adamant (although, why I don't know). My cardiologist had pretty much given up on the weight loss ever being a thing for me (I was such a defeatist...).
In one week now, I go back to the doctor for a 3-month follow up on my Type II Diabetes and in 5 weeks I go back to the cardiologist. I don't think my doctor is going to be upset with me for my dieting choice. In the past 3 months, I've lost 27lbs (hope to make it an even 30 by next week), I can walk 2 miles without breathing hard -- making it to the ladies room used to be a bit beyond my endurance, and the biggest thing is my A1C. It was last checked in March and I registered a whopping 10.4! Yikes! Based on an online A1C calculator, my current A1C reading should now be about 5 points lower. If that doesn't amaze the doc, I need a new doc.
But it's my cardiologist I'm anxious to see. At my last appointment he asked if I wanted a 6-month or 1 year follow up. I said I didn't care, what did he want? He said "want me to bug you about your weight in 6-months or 1 year?". I opted for six months, though at the time I didn't know I was actually going to do something about it. I cannot wait to see how pleased he will be. By then, I will be in ONEderland... a place I haven't been in over 20 years.
