My Health provider has open a patient portal, so we can view our health record, send messages and make appointments. To my surprise my Doctor has listed me as morbidly obese. This is because I am way over the average weight (national scale) for my height. Do I agree with the term morbid, "No", I will say, yes I am Overweight but I would not use the term morbid. What the national average people need to know that the weight that they're telling me is normal, is not my normal. There is no way, given my frame and body structure, that being 125 - 140 is good for me. I cant even begin to tell you the last time I seen that weight, to tell the truth I think that I totally skipped over the scale and went straight to 170 when I was a teenager. My goal is 190 or 200, my body feels good and I was happy at that weight (before I had Paul). So, when I achieve my goal, what will the Doctor label me as???
I will not allow my health provider, people to determine and place road blocks in my way. This is a hard challenge for me, taking each step daily is a chore and it's hard enough fighting my own demons let along allowing labels to dictate my life.
I cant believe that it has been two weeks since my last log, my struggle is that it is hard to break out of the 290"s and I keep falling off the track because I am not seeing any progress. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
