It is funny though cuz even at my highest weight I never had any problems with my cholesterol it was alway perfect just like my glucose levels and BP. That is why I was a self pay, healthy as an ox other than being fat. |
Yep I have known that I had bed cholesterol levels since I was 16 and NOT overwieght (and very active). I was a foster kid durring my teens and at 16 our foster program (private program) Put ALL girls on the pill at 16 if they could. So I found out that my cholesterol was high. So from then on I have been conciously avoiding fatty foods.
And It has been FRUSTRATING to say the least because everytime I would go to the dr and they would check cholesterol levels getting scolded when I was already eliminating fatty foods from my diet and it didn't help.
So for 20+ years I have had dr's scolding me for something I can't control. It is rather nice now to have one who realizes its heriditary and does't chew out me out every visit. But for other things she sucks so I still have to find a new PCP lol.
