[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  I just had a major wake-up call.  I have struggled with weight my entire life.  Finally got healthy in my mid 20's and lost 85 pounds.  Kept it off for 10 years.  Pounds slowly crept back on in my mid 30's.  At 39 I was almost back to where I started.  I made a pact with myself I would get healthy again by my 40th birthday and I lost 85 lb again that year.  Now I am 49 and the highest weight I have ever been.  Started spiraling down in May of 2020 after sitting on my couch for 3 months during Covid and returning to in person work as a school nurse in a very needy low income school district.  I put myself last and more weight piled on.

I finally found a new primary care doctor and went yesterday for a visit due to some abdominal pain for the past few weeks.  My BP was 160/90 and my weight is out of control.  I am having labs drawn today and abdominal ultrasound next week.  I guarantee I have fatty liver at this point, possible type 2 diabetes and will have to start blood pressure meds.  I am scared, angry that it got so bad, overwhelmed...but determined to make my health a priority and move more and get back to a healthy place.[/quote]

I hope you’re feeling better — and less scared and less overwhelmed.  Good for you for being determined to get back to a healthy place! 👏🏽[/quote]
