Decisions

I went to the doctor this past week to have a check up since my blood pressure has been high. It was the first time going back to this office since my doctor quit her practice. I saw the PA, Heather, to the new doctor I am going to and she was wonderful. Very skinny, very young and pretty but she didn't make me feel bad. She offered me many paths to take in my weight loss endeavor. Which by the way after 2 weeks of attempting to diet, I have stayed the same. Anyways, she believes my underlieing problem is depression. I eat when I'm depressed hence the weight gain and the high BP. She offered me Meridian but I declined since I have an appointment with the diet doctor that a friend went to (No, I didn't tell Heather that) so she prescribe an anti-depressant and a diuretic to help lower the BP. She also gave me a referral to see the weight loss surgeon at Sacred Heart. While I'm almost positive I do not want gastric by-pass, I am interested in the new lap band procedure. I have to attend a seminar on the 20th before I can even meet with the doctor. My appointment with the diet doctor is on the 31st so I guess by August I might have a clue as to what I want to do with my health. In the mean time I'll keep trying to make better food choices and watch what I eat and maybe even exercise! (I did swim some today!)
