To Uchich and Chiro,

I DO totally agree - I really do. It's so hard to convey everything in a post, and I sometimes probably also do a poor job of accurately communicating as well.

I think what I'm trying to say about conforming, etc is that they are wanting you to comply to THEIR standards of health - 'being sure to eat whole grain breads, cereals, grains; milk, meat, etc.' - deemed by their 'nutritionists', and that we must answer to THEir standards completely, listing 'our annual flu shot'; using sunscreen, etc.

I'm FROM Southern CA, however,I moved five years ago across country to the unhealthiest state in the country. My whole life has changed. Back home, I was self employed, and walked five miles a day. Now, I'm doing well to walk to the mailbox.
(I can go into that another time).
Anyway, since moving here (time frame reference only), I am now on thyroid meds, and my once SINGLE medication for Glaucoma jumped to needing THREE.
And (now) I'm approximately 30 pounds overweight. (I had a full hysterectomy right before moving here).

However, my 'numbers' are GREAT. My doctor said other than these medication related effects, my health is great - much better than he usually sees.

So, I would 'pass' their Wellness Program in that regard, but in listing my food items, that would be hilarious. Let's see, I had a green smoothie for breakfast..
I don't need/want anybody (them) telling ME what I need to do, unless of course, we are of LIKE minds, and i have ASKED for their advice (such as from YOU all). Their standards are not the same as mine.
I have my OWN goals. My own goals are to eventually be on NO medication (AGAIN) - no thyroid; and NO (or one?) Glaucoma medication.
I would also like to be at the weight I was back 'home' which is about 30 pounds less.

Being away from the 'health' care system completely is an interesting concept that I will have to listen to you all more for. I can't conceive of that. I've had so many emergencies in the last 15 years that have completely devastated me financially, that it is a hard one to think about. My hysterectomy was an emergency. I was bleeding internally and they couldn't figure out where or why but I was in excruciating pain and blew up to the size of a 9 month pregnancy of TWINS -yes, that huge. Thank God I had insurance for that but I was in bed for several months recovering.

Of course, the whole HSA concept is like being off the system anyway. You still have monthly premiums deducted out of your paycheck; and the deductible is $2500 a year.

With your help (Uny's, et al), I can achieve those goals. I can always mark 'yes' for having gotten my flu shot. Of course, they don't have to know that it is Dr. Schulze 's flu "shot"! Hee hee!

Thanks for the great posts.
