We have been discussing the need for weight loss on my part at recent medical appointments. Neither the medical provider nor I have any objection to the notion. Some basics do hold me back from pursuing it right now. Hypothyroidism plus deficiencies in Vitamins D & B12 are not getting corrected even though action is prescribed and complied with. The 'extreme' commuting for my job does not help either. Predicate steps have to be resolved before that higher level matter can be pursued, it seems.
