Shorter=Fatter

I went yesterday for my consult with the doctor. Of course, they weigh and measure your height too. Well, I was shocked to learn that after 20 years of thinking that I was 5' 7" I was only 5' 5.5". Now my BMI has jumped from 41 to 51.:omg: Now I feel fatter than I originally thought. I had blood work done about a month ago, and was pleasantly informed that I didn't have high blood pressure, high or bad cholesterol, high blood sugar or any thing negative. I'm just fat.:faint: So now I'm just waiting for the approval of my insurance company. I do know that my insurance company covers 90% after my deductible, I am really lucky, especially if they come back and say "Yes."

Well the good news is that it is more of a reason for your insurance to cover you. It must have been a huge shock though.
