> He seems somehow dissappointed that by most measures I'm pretty healthy.
There's a reason they call it "practicing" medicine. :-) I have found that many doctors indeed are perplexed by people that are overweight and yet are otherwise healthy. I *should* have high blood pressure and *should* have high cholesterol, my pulse should be racing constantly, etc. But I don't. Last week I was told I couldn't donate blood because my heart-rate was too low (44) and that was after I had hauled myself across campus to the bloodmobile. The lead vampire was very confused by this... I currently weigh in at a healthy 265. down from 320 (hence a healthy 265) in January 2004. I have been using the On-going weight-loss portion (-1lb-ish per week - sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less) of the Atkins Diet quite successfully and have regular appointments with my doctor, exercise semi-regularly, etc. It's all about moderation. I eat plenty o'veggies and fiber and partake in the consumption of vino. Current BP is 120/60 anybody gonna argue with that? Been a few months since my last Cholesterol check, don't remember the exact number. -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:159710 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
