A Former Resident "Weighs In"

I thought it was time to share with you another note that I received a few weeks ago from one of our former residents. Stories like these always warm my heart and remind me why I love my job so much. Thank you, A, for sharing this with us.

view of mountaintopsAnother awesome thing that happened today...I have not wanted to know my weight ever since I returned from MC. Every time I've been to the doctor and had to be weighed, I'd always close my eyes and tell them to "please not tell me my weight."

Today I had to be weighed at my appt. and I told the nurse the same thing. After she weighed me, she took me back to the room and when she put my folder on the desk I saw a sticky note on top with my weight written on it. I knew I'd gained weight over the last 2 years and when I saw what I weighed it didn't even bother me.

I felt great and wanted to shout it from the mountaintops!! That is such an accomplishment for me. What a freeing feeling!!!! It's been 2 years ago this week that I came to MC and it has taken me 2 years to feel totally free of the desire to go back to those old, awful habits.

I love MC and everyone who is a part of it.

Take care,

A
