Just cutting down on sweets alone is helping. I can tell my energy level is improving.
What's really bothering me is the "apron of fat." I didn't have that before. Now that it's hot outside, my fat folds get sweaty so I have to use a lot of baby powder. I hope it will go away and not turn into a thin drape of loose skin. I wish I hadn't allowed this to happen.
Returning to add... Mr Coco had to see a doc to get his androgel scrip refilled, but they wouldn't do it because his platelet levels were extremely high. He's gained as much weight as I have, and his BP was 148/110, which is the highest it's ever been. They told him he was at risk of heart attack. This is sobering. I had to have a biopsy last month, which turned out to be negative, but still. We've never had serious health issues before. I thought about what life would be like without Mr C, and alternatively, what would happen to him and others in my family if I had cancer. It wouldn't take much to put us in bankruptcy because our health insurance premiums are barely affordable as is. Life without Mr C would be depressing. No one makes me laugh as much as he does.
