Hi Joanna, Thanks for your response. I have not gone to the doctor in over a year, but am actually going to make an appointment for my annual physical for January or Feb. I don't think I have any digestive problems. I do eat, and I definitely eat when I am hungry. I do get hungry, just lately I haven't been that hungry because I spent Christmas around way too much food and it's gross. I will get blood work done at the doc because my cholesterol is high and she'll want to check that. My T will be back from maternity leave next Friday. I will see her then. I don't really even feel like I need to go because I've been fine. The only really rough week I had was the week leading up to Thanksgiving because I was extremely stressed, not sleeping, etc. I just had a lot of stuff I needed to get done in a short time and then was leaving for a trip to Italy after Thanksgiving, which I was completely excited about but nervous about because of the food and no exercise situation. (It all went well and I had an amazing trip!!!) I am nervous about seeing my T because I don't want her to ask me how much I weigh. I'm 4-5 lbs below what she says is my "lowest allowed weight" for her to work with me. I don't want to get "fired." As you said, I am also wondering if she'll come back being skinny again, like she was before she got pregnant. She was still skinny when she was pregnant, just had a belly. I'll probably look like a rolly polly when I get pregnant. I was seeing her fill in person, but I didn't really like her and I didn't have anything to talk about so I just went and didn't talk much. She probably hated me. :) I can get support from my cats, they're the only ones who live with me. :) What I do wish right now is that I didn't "have" to go to the gym because I don't feel like going. Thanks again.
