I know how you feel about getting weighed. Drs are so blinded by everything else they want to diagnose that they aren't paying attention to the big picture. I went to one in sept. of last year with horrible stomach pain and the dr kept trying to tell me that i was diabetic or that i was putting too much strain on my body, and then proceded to try and tell me that it was just cause i was overweight. come to find out my gallbladder had ruptured and two stones had lodged into my bile duct. my weight had nothing to do with any of it. the thing about it is yes I am overweight but for my height build and muscle mass only about 30 lbs overweight. i just couldn't believe that this dr could have killed me all because she thought it was a weight issue. I want everyone to know that no matter whether you are over or underweight do not let the dr you see focus on that. it is mostly not because of what you eat or your activity level, there is an underlying cause. once you find out what it is then you will start to lose or gain. i want everyone to know that even the slightest imbalance in hormones can cause weight gain. think about your cycles and how they affect how your clothes fit. just take care of yourselves and everything will fall into place.
