today was an emotional day. did great for weigh in losing 6.4 lbs! Way beyond anything i was expecting. Even my vitals were good.
But the first therapy session was tough in a way i didn't expect. What i was so worried about was how i would be received. I shouldn't have worried though. My therapist is a cool person and very good. She reminds me a lot of the author of that book i just read...Ira Something...oh Lord. anyway, the book was "Regaining Your Self". she is personable and it was not like talking to "a shrink" at all but someone who could be a friend. anyway, still i got very emotional and more water works. but she explained that to me...why i get like that and said there's things we could do to help. so, i signed on. This has been going on too long now and i'm tired.
I also found out my insurance has covered my medical at Sparrow and i just have my co-pays to take care of. Great news since i'm already dealing with some past medical stuff. But i no longer have to pay out of pocket for the products i use up front.
Eating went well today. I stuck to my plan and i planned for chaos today. It got a little shaky at Subway because it was after the Dr. Apt. But i gave myself the pep talk before going in and i gave myself the instructions...you know the ones a Momma gives her kids before they go into the store about behaving and not asking for everything under the sun cause "this" is what we're here for. and i was a good girl.
so like i said e-mo-tional-al. but i survived. and now after some sleep and some contemplating, i think I'm gonna be okay. Dr. says we have allot of work to do.. I had to laugh at that. she ain't just whistling dixie! (old bugs bunny quote).
hope everyone is thriving and well. Peace and love
Oh, Dr. has the coolest Collie pup named Spencer. he came right up to me in the waiting room and didn't bark or freak out about my white cane. Most dogs don't like my cane at all and they go crazy. Spencer was cool and friendly. He's adorable. very well behaved pup. I love dogs.
