Why are there no Somosas on the buffet? Want Somosas.

sj, I think you need to change doctors too. You do not need the extra stress. (And I hope they pony up some samosas on the double).
Well done, askye and Strix! Good luck, Suzi.

I love how "losing weight" is the magical cure for everything. Because that will happen so very quickly. "My house is flooding!" "Fixing that thin space in the shingles on the roof will fix that." "It's flooding now! Don't tell me about the freakin' roof, fix the situation now!"

I was once 95 pounds with acid reflux so bad I thought I was having a heart attack and depression so bad I didn't get out of bed for a week. So, I know losing weight doesn't solve everything. It may help with some things, but it doesn't make everything magically better. Also, telling me I need to lose 5 lbs before I come back is always going to backfire with me because I have a stubborn streak that is more than happy to be self destructive. Why yes, Trader Joes I would like to buy all the things, thank you very much.

I would legit never go back, because fuck them. My doctor talks to me like I'm an adult with autonomy, not a misbehaving child. He's told me before that my blood pressure might go back to normal if I lost some weight, and then said, "That's just one option to keep in mind, though." I felt like he was giving me information I could take or leave. He's never *told* me to lose weight. I super lucked out with him.

Wow, sj. I hope the TJ's trip was very productive because the doctor's visit sucked. New doctor, STAT.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, the idea that there's a test you have to pass before you're allowed to get medical care...is bullshit.

Because ultimatums are not the sign of a good, competent doctor who has any other ideas other than "lose weight and stop bothering me."

Oh yeah, gilt-edged GUARANTEE you're never going to see my ass again, fat or otherwise.
