UAMS Diet Program

This is a diet update

As of April 4th-- I have lost 28 pounds..

I know that seems like a lot but when your goal

is to lose 100# - it means I have a long

way to go.

*******

The diet plan does work, but I am not impressed

with UAMS . The fee is $500 to get started- then every

week it is another $50 for lab work or for a 3 min .

visit with one of their doctors. Then add another

$105 for three boxes of food supplements,

and it gets damned expensive.

Averages out to about $72 a pound- and that

does not includee gas & parking fees.

Hell, I could buy several pounds of scallops

and lobster for $72 a pound !!

How much is KOBE beef??

***

Yesterday when I went to weigh in and give

yet another couple of vials of blood, as usual, it is like

a chinese fire drill.

***

The weight clinic shares space with another clinic--

so the place is always overcrowded.

When one weight loss class lets out ,

another is signing in .Now this clinic area

is where we get weighed in and see the doctor (if it

your week to see the Dr.), fill out your order for your

food supplements and if you are having blood work

you must weigh in THEN go up to the lab for the blood

draw and then get to your class on time .

Next Bitch

For all of the money we are spending,

you would think that SOMEBODY would

know where the hell the classes are.

I was told , "Go to the CR buiding 10th floor."

Ok- I know where that is -- that is where the first

12 weeks of classes were held..

Nope -- wrong-- nobody knows anything about

the BB classes . Okay , I call the weight

clinic-- SUPRISE--

I get the freaking answering machine.

Finally, one if the "instructors" tells me -- Oh no-

that class in over in the Spinal research building.

1st floor - 1st door on the right .

Back down to the 3rd floor,

across the walkway to the parking lot,

across the bridge to the hospital and into the elevator,

down to the 1st floor. Hike thru another hall, thru the

lobby and find my classroom.

WHAT A JOKE!!!

This room is a storage room, a huge storage room

with cement floors, a couple of folding tables and some

cheap plastic chairs that are in danger of collapsing

with the weight of the women that are sitting on them.

I stood thru 1/2 of the class because the way the

chairs are cut, my right leg kept falling asleep.

*****

This room has table full of broken computers, boxes of

some sort of supplies and no walls. Thats right , there is

construction foam where there should be

drywall. What a hell hole !!!

*****

Now they run 14 classes a day. Most of the classes

have 6 to 20 people. Figure the amount of money

they are bringing in on a daily basis, plus the parking fees

they collect everytime we are there. You would think

they could at least put us in a decent room.

Most of us feel pretty bad about ourselves already,

and this does not help.
