I Gained Five Pounds

In the past 14 weeks I’ve managed to pack five pounds of weight back on. I was doing great at weight loss, but I have been indulging.

My doctor told me that almost everyone that he has weighed this past week has gained weight since their last visit (holiday eating?), so I shouldn’t get too upset.

After analyzing my bloodwork, he was gong to throw me on a cholesterol pill, but I pleaded with him to give me a chance to bring it down with diet. I go back in three months, he said if it doesn’t come down at that point I will have to take the pill.

I could tell that I had gained weight, I’ve been eating like a pig in the past few weeks. But, that five pounds feels like twenty pounds to me!
