I was quite nervous this morning. Today was the first meeting with the nutritionist doctor. I was nervous about what she was going to tell me. I was waiting to be yelled at. Scoffed at. To be told that I was about to drop dead of some dreadful obesity related illness. Then I started filling out the paper work, and felt like I was in the wrong place. I am not a huge snacker. I am not completely out of control eater.
Instead, as I talked to the nutritionist and later the doctor, there was understanding in their eyes. Perhaps it was B.S., but I really think that they are on to something. Now I just have to figure out how to deal with eating so few calories until this is all figured out. That is kind of scary for me... it actually was not scary until I realized that I could only eat soup at the lunch place today! Though the soup was tasty, I was just trying to figure out how I am going to live on three 300 calorie meals and 3 small snacks. While trying to figure out the protein versus carbs - apples are considered carbs by this place...
Anyway, hopefully in a few months this first day jitter session will be a laugh and I will wonder what I was worried about!
Here is a remake of a classic Queen song that just seems appropriate somehow:
