He Didn't Yell ( ha ha) Views: 176

Well I went for my check up today.. Everything looked good. I go back in Jan. My doctor said ” Lori your losing weight that’s great” That’s all I wanted to hear today..ha ha And I got to.

I finally remember to ask the questions I always seem to forget. I asked him if getting back on my fish oil tablets was ok and he said yes. I asked him about Flaxseed.. He wasn’t to thrilled about that so I was glad that I only tried it once. I had heard there is still alot of questions about using it after you have had cancer.

His office published a breast cancer survivor calender for 2008. He asked if I seen it yet and I did take time and looked through it while I was waiting in to see him. He said they are doing one for 2009 and told me to keep in mind..
The picture of the survivors were so beautiful.. Maybe I will pose for the 2009 calender.. Maybe by then I will have all my weight off…

Thanks for listening blogging buddies…

Ask everyone how hard it is to loose 5 lbs and you lost 35 lbs. Good job! You fought cancer for goodness sake, you can do anything you want. Remember it is how we learn to love ourselves, the rest will follow. Congratulations.
