Just Another Day

I went to see a doctor today. I had my annual physical check-up. Blood pressure is good. Pulse rate is good. A little overweight said the doctor. I was amused to hear the doctor say that because I am not just a little overweight. I am really overweight and yep, I'm even embarrassed to let the world know my BMI. So I thought that was really nice of the doctor to say I'm just a little overweight.

I told him I'm really concerned about my weight. I also told him I'm worried about the fact that after I stopped taking birth control pills, I felt bloated most of the time and that it seemed like I instantly gained weight around my midsection. He said birth control pills can do that to a woman's body but he said he thinks I could use a little help in losing weight.

So he sent me to the lab for thyroid and liver test. He said if my liver test comes out good, he will prescribe me a diet pill that would inhibit fat absorption. This pill I think is Rx only and I've heard it before. It's Xenecal. I told him I wasn't sure if I wanted to lose weight this way but he said I shouldn't worry coz it's safe. He also set me up with a dietitian so she could look at my daily calorie intake and will give me suggestions on how I can cut back and improve my diet. He also said it could be a thyroid thing too. But he doesn't know yet until he gets the result back from the lab. So yeah, I feel satisfied with this doctor's visit. I have been complaining to my previous physician regarding my weight but all she said was "Exercise!" Glad my new physician was willing to refer me to a dietitian and sent me to the lab for testing. So yeah, I'm definitely on my way to a better and stronger body.

I also asked him about this white spot I noticed on my eye. He looked at it and he said it's nothing to be worried about. According to him, it's jsut some sort of a white "skin" due to too much exposure to the sun but it won't affect my eyesight at all. I told him I have an upcoming appointment with the Opthalmologist and he advised me to still go and have them check my eye but he said it's really nothing to worry about. He thinks that an Opthalmologist may suggest surgery though. His last advice about my eyes: 'You gotta wear sunglasses in the sun all the time."

So everything is good. I just have to wait a little bit more to know my cholesterol level but other than that, everything about my physical self is good. Just gotta keep losing this extra weight. And I'm not worried. Coz I know I will.

A few minutes ago, I just started writing my personal statement for Law School. I've written a few sentences and suddenly, writer's block. I wanted to write mostly about "what I am made of and what am I made for" but I got stuck. So I browsed around for sample personal statements online but I found them inhibiting my creativity instead of enhancing it. So I decided to just saved what I started and write on my blog instead. Maybe it would get me more inspired, get the creative juices flowing blah blah blah

So I've been squeezing my brain but nothing's comin out of it at the moment. I guess I better go to bed. I'll probably be better off writing my personal statement early tomorrow morning, as soon as I wake up. Trust me Bing and Abel and to all your Journalist/Writer friends. I will need you guys' help to edit and proofread my personal statement. Please.... I need it for Harvard! Hahaha I think I am already in dream world. I better hit the sack.

And continue to dream about Harvard. Ahhhh, only in my dreams.

Just like love. Only in my dreams... never will it be a reality. Never.
