Zero over Zero
I dread going to doctor’s appointments, but only because I know I’m going to be forced onto the scale while fully clothed with someone peering over my shoulder. It’s one of the most horrifying scenarios I can imagine (much less experience), and I always promise myself that I’m going to avert my eyes when the dreadful moment arrives.
But morbid curiosity usually wins out, as it did yesterday and as suspected, I was greatly disappointed by my numbers. NUMBERS, plural. Though it’s long been my goal to reach a single digit weight, I’m not losing hope. I found out that my blood pressure is on the low side of normal, which kind of excites me. If I can’t get my weight down to zero, the least I can do is get my blood pressure there. Yay! I love setting goals. It gives me something to live for.

i hate going to the doctors as well. you KNOW the nurse weighing you is always bitter and fat and HAS to make some kind of comment. grr.
zero over zero is almost as good as anemia.
Hey, keep your head up. None of us like doctor’s appts…they’re the worst, whether you’re too skinny or too fat. At least they’re not putting you into a hospital to gain weight…you got through it, now you can keep on your way.
lol i always weigh myself backwards if at the doctor bc it messes up all my much more accurate numbers…though now that i think of it, i do believe i havent gotten a check up in 5 yrs. fear? oh yes
