First Doctors Appointment

I made it through the anxiety and the stress of a long over due first appointment with my doctor, my OBGYN. Not only did I have my annual check up, I was also given the chance to tell her all of the issues I have been having, the concerns I have and what I have been doing over the last little bit. She listened. That is all I have wanted for so long.

As for the outcome of my appointment, time will only tell. When all is said and done, I had a few tests done today. I will also go back in a few days for a fasting blood test to check a whole spectrum of issues that my doctor feels it could be. I will also go in for an ultrasound as well. No I am NOT pregnant and the ultrasound has nothing to do with that. After the results of all those tests are in, we will proceed further based on what is found. Until then, I wait patiently and try not to think about all of the possibilities.

I will be doing my best to eat well, keep moving and take care of myself. At the same time, I will not be putting my focus on actual weight loss until we have more answers. If there is something that is actually preventing me from losing, then my attempts to do so at the moment will just continue to add to the frustration and upset that I have been feeling.

Here is to hoping that I will finally have some answers, that none of those answers are serious to my health and that I can soon move forward with improving me and my health. Once again, fingers crossed...

Catching Up...

Its been far too long since my last post. I know that. I also know that I have said it several times before and that I would do a better job keeping up with things, but then life gets in the way. It always seems to have a funny way of doing that and its a great excuse to use. But in all honesty, things were building.

Along with losing sight of everything that I was attempting to do, I also started to notice more and more issues with my body and my health. I don't intend to go into detail at the moment but many of these issues began around the first of the year and have continued. Many of my symptoms have gotten worse as time went on and new symptoms began to pop up too. Weight gain is one of the hardest issues to see and I have struggled big time. Watching myself gain more, then lose a few pounds and then struggle just to keep them off made me feel even worse then I already did.

But... this afternoon I am finally going in to get some answers. I am going back to a doctor I trust and I know will listen to me. I am honestly terrified because I don't know what might happen but I also want answers. Fingers crossed...
