Went to the doc for my weight check-up...
I've only lost 3 pounds since last time (about 6 weeks ago?)
He said that's fine, but i think it sucks. He says I should only be losing 3-4 pounds a month, for good permanant weight loss. According to his scales I weigh 203, but that's with about 5-6 pounds of clothes and shoes (which I weigh myself without at home).
I talked to him about my difficulty sleeping again, and finally something is going to be done about it...
He got me an appointment with a sleep specialist at the end of the month. I could have a number of problems - insomnia, sleep apnea, and possibly narcolepsy.
I don;t know much about narcolepsy, but I do know I used to always have troble keeping my eyes open while studying, and today I fell asleep watching tv....hmm.
Too bad I have to wait till aug. 30th.
I want to weigh 130 pounds by next summer, but I've pretty much figured out that's not gonna happen. If I lose 4 pounds a month for 10 months, I'll only be 163.
pppppfffftttt.
