As I said, so far things are going fine.

I didn't realize how drugged I was. At this point, my only regret is that I didn't make these changes sooner... .

I remember from your previous posts that you were having issues with your p-doc, so I can understand your position. I hear you on the speaking up sooner, I finally came to the same conclusion 3 months ago and finally voiced my concerns. I had gained 40 lbs. in 2 months after I was first diagnosed (2007) and yes my mental well being is more important than how I look, BUT being overweight has made me feel like crap. I am finally starting to drop the weight, but it's going slowly (so far 13 lbs).
Keep us posted and we can all look out for each other here as well.
