A guy from high school (Not posting his name, I did not discuss talking about his situation on here with him and I will respect his privacy) has been posting up his dedication to eating right and getting healthy again and it struck a nerve with me. I need to also.
I have been getting skull splitting headaches for about 9 days now. a few days ago I went to Urgent care for a diagnosis. I was fearing the worst (brain tumor or aneurysm) since I had a buddy die last year, my Mom die in January from stomach cancer, and a high school friend die from Pancreatic cancer last month. So of course I jumped right to the worst case scenario.
Well my regular doctor is not concerned at all about the headaches, because she is sure they are from the high blood pressure. I had only been on the medication for 2 days by the time I saw her for my problem and I was still running high so she added me onto a second medication. I had blood drawn and will be following up in 3 weeks.
Back to my friend motivating me…
His situation is not the same as mine, he is having a different problem, but we both share being over weight and we both are working at getting healthy again. We each have our conditions affecting our daily lives and need to make changes to ensure we will be seeing our loved ones for years to come.
I will be going back to posting daily, even if it will only be a one sentence post saying if it was a good day or not. I hope to go full on with some meals and exercise too.
Today I weighed in at 345 lbs.
Good luck to us both, we have too much to lose to not be successful.
