Feeling a bit better about myself

Well, I had to go to the doctor today to get a prescription refill. But, in order to do that, I had to get a physical and see my doctor and doctor's assistant for all the basic check up things. It was nice to hear that I'm pretty much healthy, I just need to do a little more exercise. Because I'm not in softball anymore, it's really hard to do that and I have to work and go to school constantly so I really don't have time for it, either that or I am just absolutely exhausted. So, I spoke to my doctor and got all of the check ups, and he asked me about my acne. I told him I was kind of uncomfortable with it and he offered me a prescription for some acne stuff, and I told him no since we were kind of short on money and what not. Later on, I found out my mom was okay with it but I didn't linger on the thought. He asked me later on if I had tried benzoyl peroxide and I told him I was allergic to it. So, it wouldn't have worked out all that great anyway.

But, the best part about this entire doctor's appointment was the fact I got to talk to him about my weight. For a while I have been worried that I was overweight for a 5'8", 18 year old girl. I got to talking to him about it and after a long conversation and speech about how 'he is resilient to telling me because of how girls my age want to have this certain number' and blah blah blah. I love food too much to be anorexic, was my first thought. But, he ended up finding out for me what my average weight SHOULD be.

And guess what I found out?

I'm in the range!

Someone my height and age should be from 124 pounds to 164, and when I weighed in, I was 157 pounds. So, now, my new goal for weight loss is to get to 150. It seems like a good number to me. So, to lose seven pounds is the new goal for me. I'll be so happy if I get to do it, but I'm starting to drink more water and eat more vegetables and stuff like that, and cut down on my soda intake. I'm getting there, it just takes some work.
