NSV: Letter from the doctor.

November 2013, 425lbs

I had made a visit to my Dr for whatever reason. On the tail end, as always, I got a lecture from him about my weight. This time though, he dropped a different bomb than usual. "You will never lose your weight on your own power. I want you to buy into [popular hospital run meal replacement program], it's your only chance." (paraphrased)

Well I left there discouraged, as fresh out of college student I had no disposable income and could not afford those programs. So instead, I turned mad and got defiant. That coupled with a person in losit's IRC telling me to try keto really got my ball rolling.

November 2015, 225lbs

I sent a letter to my old Dr, thanking him for making me upset and telling me I would never be successful alone. I really wanted to let him know how appreciative I was for challenging me.

March 2016, 210lbs

I got a letter with a forwarding address sticker, inside a letter with a forwarding address sticker (three different forwards, you rock USPS!). Inside was a letter from my Dr,

"Thank you for the note! It was awesome to see that I was wrong! (Nobody's perfect) Keep up the good work!"

My most favorite NSV so far. I'll have to frame this :)
