Jan. 5th, 2018 07:03 pmDear GP,
Thank you for sending me my blood test results.
I am sadly unsurprised to learn that my cholesterol (of all varieties, as you so rightly clarify) is now unacceptably high. I always knew that my muffin habit was going to be the ruin of me; I suppose that I am thankful that the way it did so was merely physical, rather than also being financial.
This does, however, raise a question. While you are quite right that I need to do something about this, how am I supposed to accomplish that? DON'T say exercise more: I walk a mile-and-a-half to work every day, IN the snow, and go jogging...well, ok, less frequently than I probably should, but it's winter, so daylight is something that happens while I'm at work, rather than after, and I think it's gotten above 20F ONCE in the last two weeks.
Furthermore, let me remind you of two facts that you can read on my chart: that I last weighed in at right around 150lbs, and that I'm on antidepressants. I realize that that 150's theoretically in the healthy/normal range of the spectrum, but you should remember that a disproportionate amount of that is leg muscle; in any case, I'm pretty sure my ribs aren't supposed to be that visible. And meantime, fatty things tend to = tasty things = things that make me happy. Hence: can you suggest some ways for me to cut my fat intake without losing either weight or my sanity?
Yours always,
Schreiber
