Losing weight

On Tuesday, I decided to get serious about losing weight. Not for superficial reasons. But for healthy reasons.

Not too long ago, my doctor found polyps in my gallbladder. She said a lot of people have gallstones in their gallbladder and not have any problems with it. They live normal lives, pain free. In my case, I feel slight pain on my upper right abdomen at night or after eating. Sometimes the pain catches me off guard that I feel it hurts even more.

She said I could have my gallbladder taken out if I want to. I have never been under the knife. I'm scared of needles. Blood makes me nauseous. Hospital beds gives me the creeps. I don't even like hospitals. It's depressing and smells icky.

To prevent surgical operation and hospital beds, I need to watch what I put into my mouth and shed some pounds. I need to add more vegetables and fruits into my diet, and lessen fatty food. I read that I should be on a high fiber and low fat diet. I also have to avoid food that I like to eat like eggs, oranges, calamari, and nuts. So this losing weight mission is gonna be extra tough... but I must do. Sigh. It's not easy growing up.
