The information I received was from my doctor. My health had deteriorated to a point that I could not sit back and do nothing about my constant weight gain.
I was sitting in my doctors off and my doctor had my test results back from a previous visit I had with him. My previous visit was to find out why I was experiencing fatigue, chest pains and dizziness. My results showed, my blood sugar levels were very high and my cholesterol was even higher. So high that the doctor started discussing the possibility of taking cholesterol meds to reduce it!! I walked away from the doctors visit with so many emotions washing over me and my head was flooded with too many thoughts. I was angry with myself, I was worried about my health, I was devastated that my health had gotten this bad and the only person I could hold responsible for how bad things had gotten, was myself!
I cried all the way home. I had terrible anxiety because I wasn't sure how I was going to fix things. One thing I did know was this, I had to fix things fast! My doctor had given me advice to lose at least 10kgs in about 10 weeks. This would drastically help my cause and hopefully keep me off medication for the time being. However, he didn't give me any advice on how to do this. Something that seems to be a problem in our society. We have to lose weight for medical reasons yet the people we go to for help often can't help us.
I contacted my partner and told him about my doctors visit and he asked me what I was going to do about losing the weight the doctor had advised me to lose? I knew, in that moment, my time had come to join a weight loss group...
