I had to go to the doctor yesterday. I had my first (and hopefully LAST) plantar wart. He cut it out of my foot, but that's another story.... The main thing about the visit was related to my weight. I had been there on July 1st to get my hA1C results (dropped from 11 to 6.4, remember?). Well, he said, "Wow, you've lost 9 pounds since your last visit!" I was really pleased and told him, "I told you! I'm not going to stay fat and I'm not going to have diabetes for much longer! I've lost 25 pounds so far." He corrected me! He said, "Actually, Donna, you've lost 50 pounds from your highest weight in the last two years." OMG, I didn't realize that! I was rejuvenated and so encouraged when I left. He told me that a lot of his patients are told the same things by him that I was, but they don't make any lifestyle changes so he has very few success stories. I turned and said, "Well, I am going to be a BIG SUCCESS STORY!"
