BMI 28 and dropping (first diet in over a decade, trying to lose the 25
lbs. I put on having a baby. Losing 2 lbs. week, which I'm very happy
with. I am using the "ex-husband diet"...every time I think of my
ex-husband, I walk away from the fridge).
Ovo-lacto veggie, with little of ovo or lacto (I don't cook eggs, but
I'd eat bread with egg in it; only use milk for tea and coffee.)
Last physical 13 years ago, although I did my pregnancy exams (blood
pressure, urinalysis, blood tests and ultrasounds for fetal
abnormalities) as I was ripping up on 44 when baby was born.
I get a Pap every third year. I did a mammo before getting preggers, and
will have another at 50. I went to the hospital for tubal reanastamosis
and birth. Other than that, the only time I go to the doc is when I'm
too sick to fight off the people dragging me there. I recall a trip,
over 25 years ago, when my terrified roomates took me to the hospital in
the back of a pickup, as I'd had such terrible diarrhea for so long, I
was literally stiff as a board from electrolyte abnormalities and so
hypotensive I was unable to propped upright.
