I lost a kilo this week, but it was hard.
Weight: 84.3 kg (-1 kg)/185.8 lbs (-2.3 lbs)
BMI: 37.5
Weight loss since Sept 16, 2023: 9.2 kg/20.3 lbs
Monday morning my new doctor called again and this time I answered. Among other things we discussed my weight loss (or rather, lack of). She told me about the city's free health centre where they can help with things such as diets and I told her my diet's fine and that I eat around a thousand calories a day. "Oh, that's a bit on the low side," she said. "Well, I am 85 kilos, I need to lose weight," I said, and that part of the conversation sort of ended there. Since my blood test results were so good I asked if I could cut down on my diabetes meds because one of the side effects is a VERY upset stomach, and she said I could halve the dose. Then she said that somewhere in the future we could discuss Rybelsus again. Fingers crossed. We never touched on the topic of stackers.
My Saturday cheat meal turned into a binge. Nine nuggets and a Happy Meal with a cheeseburger, fries and baby carrots. A day later and I am still nauseated.
I'm getting a lot of money back on my taxes so I bought myself a Garmin Venu Sq 2 smartwatch and I love it. It was well worth the money and it keeps excellent track of everything. I also bought myself a new phone, a Motorola Moto G84.
Do you normally see the new doctor in person, or is it always over the phone? I’m wondering if the stackers conversation is one that might be more suitable for a face-to-face conversation, and that’s why they didn’t mention it over the phone (or perhaps didn’t get the memo, depending if they get the emails directly or via their staff). I know you were hesitant to tell them about it (and I’m so freakin proud that you did), but if they’re just completely brushing it off, that’s concerning, to say the least.
ReplyDeleteLove the watch! My old pedometer-style Fitbit is on its last legs, and am thinking about making the switch to Garmin if I have to get an actual watch.

I am going to see her next week for something else, and I think I will ask her then. Hopefully she'll say yes, or at least care.
