Doctors Visit...

So I had my regular check up yesterday with my Family Practitioner...

Had the blood work done, all the regular tests, got a TB test for my new teaching position etc...

He noticed my weight loss, and noted the 80+ lbs drop and asked my favorite question...

"How are you doing it?"

I told him, briefly {which is  MIRACLE for me, because those of you that know me personally, I am NOT short winded} how I eat now. 

My Doctor was COMPLETELY on board with the plan.

He, being an American of Japanese Descent, EATS THE EXACT SAME WAY... and told me that in his office, was a HUGE lunch of fish, veggies, fruit, minimal bread, and green tea to drink, and that in the evenings he and his wife eat a light salad or fruit for dinner until they are full, and then call it a day.  He says he has eaten that way his entire life, and has never had a weight problem.

Then I wanted to throw my purse at him... LOL...
Why? Because I think he should have mentioned that way of eating A LONG TIME AGO... to me... and maybe I would have taken the advice... or not... who knows... but still... ya just can't keep that kind of information hidden... ya know?

I was so happy to see their scale and my home scale matched the same numbers... don't you HATE it when your home scale reads less than other scales... I was a tad bit nervous to step on theirs, but I battled on, did it, and was pleasantly surprised...

I go back in two weeks for my blood test results... so hopefully the scale will show an even lower number...

I'm going to go make up some more recipes now... Ciao!
