Last Thursday I went to the doctor to get my blood drawn. So he can check everything and if everything is ok. Well all came back fine except for one thing. I'm at risk for HEART DISEASE!!! I've always been told since I was in my early twenty's that I have had bad cholesterol, I guess it's genetic, That's what the doctor told me. But I asked him why none of the doctors never gave me medicine to try to control it. And his responce was because I was still in my child bearing age. WHAT! LIKE I'M STILL NOT!!!! So He want's to put me on meds but there could be no chance that I get pregnant. I would have to go on somekind of birth control or an IUD. At this point at the doctors office I was so upset!!!! Bc I know that I am supposed to have 1 more child. So I rejected the medicine. So I went home and cried the rest of the day!! But meanwhile after being with the doctor. He is ordering me to exercise at least 4 times a week and go on a strict diet!!!
Which both of these are very hard for me to do! I hate to excerise and I LOVE FOOD!!!
obviously!!! So after prayer and a couple days to calm down. Im going to my OB with my lab results in hand and see what kind of medication would be safe for me to take and kinda get his feed back on what would happend if I were to become pregnant (bc the other dr said I would have to get abortion, and I told him that would never happend). But After sitting and really pondering on this situation I know that I need to get my self healthy and I still have 5 children that I need to care for and look after. I know I need to get healty for them!!! and for myself!!! So Im going to go on the medication and strict exercise and strict dieting!!!! This will be so hard for me, but I know I can do it!!!

Sorry to hear all of this! But you do have 5 beautiful kids who need you so I'm proud of ya for making the hard decision to stick to the whole exercise thing. You can come to the gym with me anytime if you need a partner! I like yoga, and cardio, what about you?
I am so sorry to hear that you are going through all of that!! I hope that things work out- sometimes they just have a way of doing that! Good luck!!
Wow, that must be a hard thing to hear. If you need a gym buddy or some healthy alternatives for yummy food just give me a call.
You can call me anytime you want to go to the gym! I need to get there more often myself. =)
I'm sorry to hear that Rachel, but at least now you know and you can be proactive to protect your health for yourself and your beautiful family.
