They do mammograms on Saturdays at my health plan. I went yesterday morning at 11:10.
The last time I went, a year ago in October, I had just started WW and had lost 15 pounds. I don't know if you remember that blog but I proudly told the technician that I had lost 15 pounds when she asked, "Any significant weight changes in the past year?" and she looked at me and said, "Yeah, no, that's not significant."
I remember I had just bought a 16 pound pumpkin (coincidentally) and wanted to run back and drop it on her toes to show her how significant 16 pounds really is.
So, yesterday, I fill out the form and it asks again for any weight changes since the prior mammogram. I entered -55 pounds. It felt really good to fill that out. I thought I looked good in my royal blue scrubs, too.
I get in the room and the technician asks me a bunch of questions. I just filled out the form; she has it in her hand and she's asking me the same questions: date of birth, date of last mammogram, etc. What the hell did I just fill the form out for? Then she asks me about weight change. I tell her. This one I don't mind repeating.
Her reply: "Really?"
What did she mean by that?
