Got the blood test results from the good doctor today.  YAY!  Everything looks great!  I am soooo relieved.  So that adds to the good things that have happened.  I know it has been diet and exercise.  My cholesterol was 160 and HDL 52 which is good for me.  I think the cholesterol can come down still.  I have a good thyroid, I am not prediabetic, I do not have metabolic syndrome etc etc.

So basically as my husband pointed out, which he didn’t need to because I did the math LOL!, I am fat because I eat too much and exercise too little.  In a nut shell, it is my fault.

 Those are the happiest words I could hear!  Strange you say?  Nahhh, I have been so paranoid that I blew my chances to be healthy and I wrecked myself and I just had to do a repair job.  Now I know all systems go!

One little glitch.  I got a preview on my doc’s nutritional theories.  Basically little meat, lot’s of veggies and beans nuts and stuff like that.  No dairy.  Um, how in the heck am I supposed to get 1g per pound of bodyweight of protein in like that?  So I am thinking about looking into some vegetarian meals to fill in and make him happy. But I am going to get in my protein.  I know there is something to that.

He also said he wants to see some cardio.  He didn’t even want to know what my program looks like! So basically, the same advice every other doctor would give with the exception of wanting hormone free meat and dairy.  I am disappointed.  For all he would preach on “the medical system” he can be just as bad as them all in this area.  This is the area every obese person needs to hear correct teaching.

I have been on some boards that have made me feel like a fat slob lately.  Lazy, less than human.  I am anything but lazy, and I am very human and I don’t lay around stuffing my gullet full of icecream and chips on the couch.  I never have.  I don’t eat fast food everyday.  I slowly gain weight unless under stress.  And I am not very good at taking it off.

To put it into perspective.  I hurt my knee (yes it has been quite the knee year) last summer and I had to baby it.  From June to October I gained 10 lbs.  That is 4 months.  It was gradual.  I had to over eat approximately, 35,000 calories.  Divide that by days, about 120, that is about 292 cals a day excess.  I could not run, I could not workout, I had to sit, lay around and nurse the old knee.  Then I eat because I hurt, remember?  Comfort eating?  Now how impossible is that to get in those extra calories?  Not very. 

Let’s just say I only went down about 100 cals in activity a day.  That is 161 cals a day extra.  That is a little bit more than a one ounce bag of chips.  That is 3 tablespoons of icecream.  That is NOT EVEN a whole candy bar!  That is one can of pop a day extra.

This is not exactly pigging out.  I am not a fat lazy pig.  I do care.  I have been fed misinformation.  Give me a chance to use the new information I have gotten.

Some people are disgusted that seats have to be made bigger and fat people are looked at as beautiful.  I say people are beautiful.  They may not be YOUR ideal, but they are someones.  They are not subhuman and they have feelings.  And people ragging on them DOES NOT HELP!

I mean, HELLO, can I not tell I am fat?  Who shops in the big size section?  MEEEE, HELLO!!  It is shoved in my face almost every fricken day of my life.  The more I did something about it, the more stuff came against me and beat me down.  Add to that misinformation and you have a cauldron of boiling crap for getting fatter. 

Fat is emotional.  It is how some people don’t kill themselves, by eating.  It is how some people comfort themselves because there is NO ONE TO GIVE THEM COMFORT!

Yep, humiliation is going to make everything better and make the fatty’s see the light.  I hope to God if you think like this, you will never end up like me.  Because I once thought like that.  I put fatty’s down.  I humilated them.  I could not gain weight and I thought they must eat a pig’s trough full of crap everyday. 

Now I live it, and I know the truth.  Wake up.  Give support and good information.  Quench the lies and misinformation.  NO fast food has NOTHING to do with this.  I don’t know of ANY PERSON who has half a brain thinks that it is healthy.  Leave them alone and don’t go there ya know?

No one is picking on Baskin Robbins, or how about Cold Stone?  Do you see anyone ripping them apart? No?  That is because people are expected to know better, AND THEY DO!

Well I feel better now LOL!
