Confessions of a food hoarder (& Dr. updates)

I think I am a food hoarder. There I said it. I spent yesterday going thru my pantry. Now mind you, this pantry is built like shitola from our previous crappy contractor. I renovated my kitchen a year ago and while I really love it, I notice things now that he missed or was lazy on.   The space in the pantry on is so deep, with no pullouts, you can't manage to see a damn thing. Couple that with me being 5'2 on a good day, I buy food that turns into a desolate expired date wasteland.  I threw 2 massive bags away yesterday of very good and very expensive food. Some of it was dated from 2008. How utterly embarrassing. People are starving and I am throwing this stuff away.  A shame I tell you.  I have a new mission. Keep it more organized, do not food shop until I have looked thru the cabinets to see if I have stock in said product.


With all of that said, I am now organized and have the fridge and cabinets cleaned out spotless and nice and neat. This will help with the Thanksgiving and Holidays coming up. This will also help with my upcoming surgery in the beginning of the new year (if all goes as planned).


On another note, I made my Psych Eval for December 14th. I have attended one PCP Supervised diet appt and only have two more to go. She is definitely recommending it for me and writing me a great letter to go along with my surgeons recommendations.  She is also faxing each months recommendation while I am there versus waiting till the end.   I love not having to phone stalk people to do their job.  I have only had one experience with that so far and that was hunting down my last 2 years worth of records which chart my weight each time I am in the office. I had one Dr. send a note after I went down there and asked for ALL my records to be faxed. His note (instead of records requested) stated:  Patient has not been seen since 2010.  So what??  Is that what I asked?  Dr - please know by law, I have access to these records.   Anyways, end rant.


So with all that .... I should be good to go and have everything sent to the Insurance company by mid January! Things are moving along swiftly and with the holidays, and the end of year flying by....  I think I planned everything perfectly!! 2012 is going to be a GREAT year. I can feel it :)
