Woah.... lots happening, you really should stay away from these doctors!
I am just going to jump into fix it mode...
Okay, it makes sense to me that maybe you are not losing weight as quickly for two reasons, firstly, and you hit the nail right on the head in your post, muscle weighs more than fat and if you are burning fat and building muscle through exercise, that can actually make you gain weight. I had all these things happening when we did
weight loss programs with high protein shakes, protein builds muscle, add in exercise, people put on weight and freak out thinking it doesn't work...
The other thing you mentioned is the type II diabetes. That is very common these days and can be corrected by
diet I am pretty sure. I think it is aggravated by eating too many carbs which makes your blood sugar level go up which causes you to produce more insulin which then stores unused sugar as body fat. The other thing that is associated with all of this is something called Syndrome X. I won't get into detail but Google it and get more info, there is heaps on the internet about it. Basically it is when your body gradually becomes resistant to the effects of it's own insulin.
I get straight into help mode, sorry! Just that I truly believe that information is the best preventative medicine. I do not mean this in a bad way towards GP's but I know my body really, really well and sometimes they can be just a little too general for me? They have often given me things that, looking back I would have been better off without and let's face it, when you go to the doctor and they give you pills for this and pills for that, it does not do your moral much good does it?
I would maybe look for a second opinion or get to see some sort of specialist, but hey Anissa I care about
you not your doctor's feelings!! You are very special and I want to help, that's all
I saw my mum before she passed away, trust her doctor implicitly and she was taking soooo many pills in the end, it was bad. She used anti-anxiety drugs where I control those sorts of feelings with herbs. She used anti-depressants where you can assist yourself so much better with natural remedies and the right positive mental attitude. She was on sleeping tablets, pills for
water, pills for everything. I hate to say this, but the drug industry is a business too...
Some call me intense, like with the BDD with Rach, but I truly, truly, believe that information is power and the more you know about what is going on for you, the more empowered you will feel and the more you find out there are more ways to skin a cat, than it first appears!
I want you to feel like
not
So anyway, just something I picked up... I know ya pretty well these days me dear!
