First off, ahhhhhh relaxed now, another dose of WnF and I'm settled for the night.
As for weight business, I lost 86kgs (yes, eighty six, not eight point six with a typo) about 8 years ago, by going to Weightwatchers. The awesome part about it is you don't go and hand over money, get a box of noms and wander off to munch it over the next week, and not really know what you're eating; It's basically eating-school instead. You pay your $15 or so, get weighed, and sit down for an hour or so learning just what good eating *really* is. Most people do have a bit of an idea about what's healthy good eating, but the weekly meetings just complete things . Worked for me anyway, and I only went for a few months before continuing on by myself with all I'd learned, and hit my goal weight before a year was up.
Fiz is right about not looking at the most awesome people as inspiration - even at our best we're not going to look like someone else. Take each day as it comes, make changes, and apply them consistently every day. After a year, being able to stand both my thin legs in one single leg of my old jeans was awesome!. The new me was better than the old me, and that's the only comparison that really counts.
Of course, now I've packed on some of the weight again, but let's not dwell on that ;).
As for getting blood taken, I was never too bad with it, but I do like to peer straight at where I'm being prodded and go "phwooooar!" when the vacuum vial fills. If there's going to be a bit of graphic gore involving my body, dammit, I want to convince myself I'm enjoying it...
...And in the blood, hormones! Brings me to another tale vaaaaaguely related to pregnant women (I always have a tale :) of a friend I knew in the late 1990s. Once a month she'd PMS so bad she was near psychotic; she'd be physically violent towards her parents, brothers, boyfriend, friends. She'd injured members of her family more than once - sometimes, hormones do some messed up stuff, and for a couple of weeks afterwards she'd be in such a depressive state because of the way she treated people - any time apart from those 3-4 days each month she was the sweetest most laid back person. She had a subdermal hormone implant that lasted about 6 months at a time, and it fixed things near instantly. Bloody awesome.
Thanks for another podcast. Do keep it up :)
