slow and steady...pisses me off

Ok, I guess it's better to loose .2 pounds in a week than to gain or maintain, but this is killing me!!! I have been following this ww point thing perfectly and not even using 1 single point out of the extra 35 per week and I still have lost less than a pound a week for the last two weeks! WTF??? I even had a couple of days each week where I had a vew points left over. Because of my weight I am allotted 31 points per day. maybe this is too much. Maybe I need to lower it to 25 or something. Anyhow I know this is not s'posed to be a ww journal so I wont go on and on. On the band front, I am still seeing the dietician once a month through Jan so that the financial person at Cleveland Clinic can send in the 6 month clinically documented weight loss attempt. I have to travel 1 and 1/2 hours to the clinic and I was supposed to see her last Friday but I was running late and I called to let them know that it looked like I was gonna be 15 minutes late about 45 minutes before I was scheduled to be there. They were like "ok don't worry about it" so I get a call about 45 minutes later and they say that the dietician has an appointment scheduled an she can't stay and wait for me so I would have to reschedule. I think I need to find a dietician to see locally because this is bullshit to begin with but its even more bullshit for me to have to drive 3 hours roundtrip for a 20 minute appointment that is bogus anyway. I am so pissed about this whole waiting and getting more and more shit for the f ing insurance company. I have been persuing this since last February. I had all of my testing done in March and I am positively sure that the bastards will make me re-do it all since I will not get reconsidered for this til at least February of 2007. I swear to god they really are waiting to see if I will die first so they don't have to pay for this thing.:angry
