[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 162209, member: 3388"] Shari, I'm glad you're here but wish it were under better circumstances. I think Heather and Sharon (LDM) have given you excellent advice. I can't think of anything to add to what they have already said. One thing you can do before speaking with your doctor and possibly seeing a nutritionist, is to make small changes to the way you eat. For instance, one thing I did when I wanted to lose weight was to switch from using half and half in my coffee to using either skim milk or just about 1 tbsp of fat free half and half per cup. I also switched from using sugar in my coffee to using SPLENDA. (I tried to get used to drinking coffee "straight up" but couldn't.) Then once I got used to that, I began making other small changes. I stopped buying yogurt with fruit in it. I started buying plain yogurt and mixing a serving of it with a package of SPLENDA and fresh or frozen fruit (no sugar added). Once I made these changes, it got easier to make healthier changes to other foods I enjoy also. And, small changes to foods you enjoy can add up to lots of pounds lost over the course of a year. Well, I have to go. difficult child 2 is "melting"!!! I hope you get to speak with your doctor soon. WELCOME!!! WFEN [/QUOTE]
