The results are in...

Some of the results at least. I learned a thing or two yesterday that were really disturbing. First and foremost, I learned that I am composed of 44.7% fat! Nearly half of my body is fat! I also learned (or was reminded) that I do not consume nearly enough water on average.

I had blood drawn and will get the full results from that during my next visit. If I had to guess, I would say my cholesterol is probably up right now and that I am vitamin deficeint in a least a few places.

I was given a plan which I reviewed with Dr. A during my consultation and now it is up to me to comply and return in 2 weeks for a follow up appointment.

This is the first time I am treating my obesity as a medical issue and working with a doctor to turn it around. If the doctor told me I had some life threatening illness that I could practically cure through behavioral modification alone, wouldn't I damn well learn to change whatever I was told to pretty quickly? Yep, I would, so I need to treat this just the same before I develop nasty health issues.
