----------CURRENT MOTIVATION-----------
Currently, trying to lose weight for my health. My doctor wants to put me on cholesterol medication and I don't want to do it. *stomps foot in defiance* I have been avoiding him since last autumn as I try to lose weight and change my diet to see if that makes a difference. My total cholesterol was 290. I'll see him again in June. I'll be at least 35 pounds lighter and hopefully I'll pass that cholesterol test with flying colors!
