So Tuesday I had my nutrition consult and my phsycology evaluation... both went well. Though I did not care for the whole sit and talk to a stranger thing... whole time your talking, shes typing... taking notes. Not to mention she MAYBE weighed 100 pounds, theres no way she could relate to me... But it went good. I had to take a test, 165 questions.... she told me by the answers I showed high levels of anxiety (I didnt need a doc to tell me that) but oddly even with such high levels of anxiety, I showed no signs of depression... well duh im not depressed. She looked as though she could not fatham how in the world I wasnt depressed. As if all fatties are depressed.
Today, I actually enjoyed something I never thought I would. I attended a required support group. I have to attend 2 as part of the program. I honestly enjoyed it and I want to attend another one tomorrow! LOL... I went with intentions of being quiet, listening and taking it all in. BUT there was only 3 other ladies at this meeting, they all knew their stories, I was the new kid. So I opened up to total strangers, asked questions I never thought Id be able to ask strangers. I told them my issues with this, the whole fatty liver issue in someone my age was again a shocker to people... I feel very comfortable with this decision... there are things I worry about, but I think in the end, all will be ok.
Some of the things I worry about right now:
affecting relationship with friends and family (ive read this is very common)
being as comfortable with myself afterwards as I am now.
Being able to do the protein shakes
Right now thats all I can think of... LOL.
