Fat! So?
My first impression of this site, I must admit was shock. I did not expect to see all the naked butts on my computer screen. However, after getting past that initial shock I came to see how valuable a cool this site is. I read the story Fat kills and actually found this author to be hilarious. However, her story did stick with me and it just shows how insensitive our society has become when even doctors who should be there to help you make lifestyle decisions that are beneficial to you are forcing their beliefs and feeling about what is right and wrong on the patient.

Totally agree... I fear going to the doctor if I'm not in the best of shapes, just as many other women do too... that fear comes from rejection and disappointment, when the doctors we respect are supposed to be there to support us and be a positive influence.
ReplyDeleteGoing to the doctor when you aren't happy with your body is harsh. You could always do like Dr. Watkins and ask them to not tell you your weight, but at the same time you need to stay on top of your health and it can sometimes be awakening.
