Sunday evening i emailed my doctor asking for a referral to our hospital's weight-loss-management-clinic. I expected to have to at least have a phone appointment with him and answer a bunch of questions but he made the referral yesterday, no fuss, no muss! They're still running it virtually during COVID. They'll get in touch with me for an assessment over the next few weeks. I'm intimidated because it's a really intense two-year program. The first stage is limited to Optifast products. In later stages they teach you how to introduce real food.

So that's in the works, with minimal effort. I want to be thin but i'm not sure how much i am willing to suffer to get there. It depends on how much emotional support the program offers. I just have a lot of questions at this point. I know my bipolar will be an obstacle.

Otherwise a nice sunny day, slept well, walked my dog and went in the ZOOM drop-in. I also treated myself to an order of twelve (12) bottles of this low-cal alcohol-free Chardonnay i am wild about! Looking forward to the arrival of that!
