I'm going to share a secret...

So, if you've been following me, you know I had my annual dr. appointment today and was dreading it! I love my doctor and she is compassionate and full of great information and advice. She's the best doctor we've had as far as a family practitioner and I feel like we are so fortunate to have gotten into her as she's quite busy! She does insist all patients see her yearly for a 'preventative physical' and our time was today. So, I got up and was grouchy all morning, but here's my secret! I know exactly why I was grouchy! I'm overweight; quite overweight actually! These appointments become all about my 20 seconds on the scale. I get anxious thinking about what the dr. might say or if it will impact my BP. I knew being right after the holidays that things were not going to be DOWN from last year. Well, it turns out, my BP and all else was good and yes, my weight was up a bit, but she as always was kinds and gave some great suggestions. She doesn't judge, she wants me well and healthy; it's her job! So, I'm going to give it another go, but her final words were, "unless you get sick, I'll see you in a year!" and those words were such a relief!! Anyone else struggle getting themselves to the dr?
