Hello, all. I opened the big fat envelope in the mail today, and it was the lab results (A1c 7.2, and 230 cholesterol) + a Rx for glimipiride + a low fat diet plan (1200 calories). Yeah right. I know better than that.

I lost 30 lbs 5 years ago on Atkins. I know how good I felt, and how my lipids improved, and how my A1c completely normalized. Why did I let it all come back on? It was a choice. A choice to avoid reality and responsibility.

All I feel like doing right now is hitting myself over the head and saying "stupid, stupid, stupid" like Gomer Pyle's Drill Sergeant.

Oh well. Hitting one's self on the head is rarely productive.
Instead, I hit the treadmill, and walked a mile. Whew! I am out of shape!

I weigh 276, and I want to get down to at least 150. From there, we'll see. but first, I intend to get those first 10 lbs off ASAP.
