I stumbled across this support site early this a.m. While looking up as much info I could when I was 1st DX I found another site but I wasn't getting any support. Won't say which one. It had lots of info but not much help when you need to vent or just want to share what's going on.
My life style has surely changed and I use to be a very outgoing person but for over a year now I'm just not secure enough to travel long distances so much of my time is spent at home.
My weight loss is my biggest upset............. everything I've read say's sometimes "moderate" weight loss, well m/f (my friend) 45lbs is NOT moderate to me. It scares me half to death. My FP has me come in weekly for a" weigh in" and just the sight of a scales brings me to tears. I tried to sneak in last week like...............hit the scales and run!!!!LOL But as I was pushing the thingy over I felt like someone was watching me??? I was right! Good Ole' Doc was right there looking over my shoulder with a big smirk on his face. "Did you think you could sneak in and sneak out?" One of the nurses had took a short cut to the room he was in and told him I was there and he actually excused himself to come check on me. He's a great FP and he truly cares about me. Even when he was darn lucky I didn't mess myself when he snuck up on me.

LOL I would love to take you up on your offer, but for some reason I don't really think it's going to work out the way we want it to.
I'm just going to continue to pray for MORE PATIENCE and maybe slowly but surely I'll gain a pound or two back. Right now I would be cheering real load for just 1/4 lb increase.
Love Ya M/F (my friend)
