Also, telling me I need to lose 5 lbs before I come back is always going to backfire
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.
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.
ltc has figured out how to get her shirt off right in time for Winter. She is very proud of herself.
The girl is clearly a genius!
I realize that eating Reese's pieces is not a solution to all of my problems, and yet.
I am TERRIBLE at taking a stealth picture, so you will all have to believe me when I tell you this: our new next-door neighbor (literally, they are on the other side of our driveway, and we met them when we were getting out of the car while they were inside their house hanging a mini-blind) looks like he could be related to Chadwick Boseman. The Northside gods of housing are smiling upon me.
I am a size 12 and I still feel huge compared to my doctor...what do they eat? Air?
Somewhat involuntary fast today myself...stomach having a quarterly 'sode. Hate. Maybe it's just upset in solidarity, but I could skip it and go back to worshipping stand-up comics.
Especially on the day that the social worker had to be here...still hate that, but he is a decent guy and is looking out for us, so have to give him that much, even if he is kind of a dork with bad hair.
