My Dietitian Appointment

So, my pulmonary doctor thought it would be good for me to see a dietitian and while I wasn't completely enthused by the idea, I opted in.  I mean, why not?  For one, maybe she could tell me something that I don't already know.  Two, the current program I'm under covers it at 100%, no cost to me.  I was looking forward to her telling me that everything I'm doing was wrong.  Did you pick up on my sarcasm there?  Okay.  Good.  Well, it didn't quite go like that.  I mean, there are things that I do wrong, but not much...by my standards.

I basically know what to do.  It's just trying to apply it, which is the difficult part for me as it is anyone.  She blamed Jason for everything and asked me how I could be with someone who is so unsupportive just because I don't force him to change how he is.  She was like, "Well, if your other half was supportive, he wouldn't eat things that are bad for you in front of you?"  Really?  I can't expect him to change just because I have to.  It's up to me, not him.  He is actually very supportive.  Wait.  Did I opt in for a psychology appointment or dietitian appointment?  I was kind of really offended.  She knew that she stepped outside her boundaries of qualifications because she even said herself, "We're stepping into a whole other field that I have no business in..."  Then why did you mention things that you have no business mentioning?

Also, she was a little bit bigger than me.  I'm not sure I can trust someone's credibility in diet when they are bigger than I am.  You have all that "knowledge" and look like that?  I feel like...what business do you have to tell me to get my shit together when you don't even have your own together?  She basically told me things that I pretty much already knew and I was not surprised by that one bit.

Anyway.  That's how that went.

I have an appointment to my real doctor on Friday.  I want to see if he will try me on a medication to aid in weight-loss and perhaps up my antipsychotic just a tweak.  Oh, and I had my appointment the other day for my sleep apnea and breathing test results yesterday.  I don't have sleep apnea and I have minimal breathing problems associated with being overweight.  He said if I get my weight down, I should be fine.

Next week, I'm being tested for narcolepsy, just to make sure I don't have it.  He's mostly thinking that my excess daytime sleepiness is due to me being overweight.

So, that was my day.
