After many, many starts and stops, I've decided to seek professional help. Today I have an appointment with my hospital's Weight Loss and Wellness program. This first appointment is 2 hours long, the first hour is with a doctor to talk about my medical history and to start coming up with a plan. The second hour is with a behavioral health specialist, and we'll talk about relationship with food, mental barriers, etc.
It's a year long active program, but then afterwards you still have regular checkups, just like with your primary doctor. From their stats (which they provide), going through a program like this has a much higher success rate than doing it alone.
I'm lucky in that my insurance covers most of the cost - not everyone might have this same opportunity. I don't know what the future holds, but I'm optimistic. If you're struggling with weight loss - or you're just getting started - you might consider looking for a similar option.
Have any of you been through a program like this?
