As i enter fuddiduddihood (AKA my fourth decade of life), i've gained nearly 20 pounds in the last two years, and now i have high cholesterol (229 total, and "bad" cholesterol was high on its own, but the good/bad ratio was OK), which means cutting back on my profligate intake of sweet, delicious pork, as well as eggs (and ikkyu2 has made it even worse for me by pointing out that one egg yolk contains a week's worth of cholesterol). It should also mean i will start exercising, but who am i kidding? I'll just cut back on the bad stuff and eat Cheerios.

Yeah, i figured that's why the BASTARDS at the doctor's office make me go hungry on Phlebotomy Day.

When you say "long term", how long is that? 6-12 months?

Oh, maybe 3-6 months or so. I guess I check cholesterol levels about that often when i'm trying to lower a patient's level.

OK, the doc wanted me to come back in 3 months, so it sounds like it's possible for me to have a 30pt drop by then. I just gotta stay away from the beyoootiful pork. Ugh.
