Health update


I did a dimension check on Sunday, but since all that changed were weight (down to 191.5 lbs) and my maximum belly inflation (down an inch) I didn't think it worth posting about separately.

Today I got permission from my doctor to drop to 14 units of insulin a day (from 18 before, and from a high of 34).

Today I also got my first, "Do you have cancer?" sort of question from someone who noticed my rapid weight loss. Mind you, this is a neighbor who I only see in in person once every few weeks due to our conflicting schedules, and who mainly saw me in bulky coats during most of the weightloss, so it was even more abrupt to her. :)

lol, what a question to ask someone.

Congrats on the weight loss DVD, I'm really proud of you :-)

Well, she's a nurse, so a lot of people she sees doing sudden weight loss ARE sick. It felt like she was trying NOT to ask if I had AIDS, even.
