| 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.

EXACTLY....underlying cause!!! I have been insulin resistant from my teenage years (that is why I NEVER got a period to begin with) maybe if the FAT PREDJUDICE Doctors would have figured that out I would not be 350lbs!!!!! I didn't start gaining weight until my late teens. Now I realize that alot of it is because my body does not process insulin quick enough and it turns to fat quicker. I have been every size and weighed from 135lbs and very physically fit (Played 3 sports in High School) to my weight now! The ONLY time I ever got my period on my own was when I was 34 years old and doing the South Beach diet before my wedding. WHAMMO.....2 periods within a few months of each other. The stupid Dr.'s still ignored that. I had to PUSH AND PUSH for them to run tests and figure out what was going on. So I was at my heaviest at 34 and got my period on my own.
It was the most annoying thing I have ever experienced!!!
Do not except the " your overweight" Take control of your fertility and do not let any Doctor's intimidate you. :o) Im sick of it!!! I would not be in the position (almost 9 weeks pregnant) if I let the Dr.'s keep blaming my weight.
