I'm already ahead of the game...

Hi- So I only have 15mins before I need to go meet Nikhil for our night of True Blood, but I have to tell you a few things. Firstly, I went to the doctor's office today. Don't worry- I'm fine. It's just that since I got my own health insurance after being on my mom's forever, I was without a primary care doctor. So, now I have one! Yay! And it's in NYC. Yay! Which I like to think for all intents and purposes means that I am officially a resident of New York. So, big day for me. 

I absolutely love my doctor, she is sweetest woman, who is caring... but not too caring and has a sense of humor. All my criteria! I had to fill out the questionnaire thing that I asked me what I ate yesterday. And as I was proudly putting down, yogurt, apple, chicken and snow peas, berries, oatmeal...I knew she would think I was lying. Now, she didn't automatically assume I was lying when I saw her, she just looked at me and said "Oh, you eat pretty healthy." I decided it was ok to inform her that this was a new thing and my list a month ago would have been cookie, brownie, cookie, pasta, chicken with pasta, and a little dessert. I then told her all about this blog, which she thought was a little strange...which I guess it is. But I told her that it makes me feel accountable and normally if I start a diet I am only obligated to myself. And let's face it, I'm not a very strong taskmaster when it comes to me and food. Ultimately, we decided that this blog was a good thing and moved on to the dreaded weigh-in and height-in. I guess height-in (is this even a word?) is not dreaded for most people but, since I always lie about my height and then forget my real height it's always a bit of a shock when they say 5'2". Oh yeah, to all those people I told I was 5'3" - I was lying. Anyway then she weighed me, and it turns out I need to lose weight. But that wasn't hard to hear since I've already accepted it and am actively doing something about it. I'm a step ahead - and it feels good!
