I know it's probably been discussed before, but I felt the need to get this off my chest now rather than search for threads on the topic.
Just got back from the GP. I had run out of repeats on my script, so all I needed from the Dr was him to write another script so I could get my medication. But surprise surprise... I had to endure yet another lecture about my weight (which by the way was totally unrelated to the medication in any possible way). I had not seen this Dr before, but the last 4 times I have been to this particular practice, I have had to listen to the same old lecture. I know their hearts are probably in the right place, but why do doctors feel the need to give me a 15 minute speech on the supposed dangers of obesity each and every time I go in?? I know I'm fat. I know I sometimes eat junk, and I know I could exercise more. I'm not an idiot. But they never stop to consider what I think or feel about being fat. This particular doctor even said that one day I might want to start a serious relationship...implying that fat people can't be in happy, normal relationships! Auch!
One minute I'm mad, and the next minute I'm upset. Stuff like this usually doesn't bother me, but today has been a shit day and it's just been the straw that broke the camels back.
Anyway, sorry for my rant... just needed to put it out there!
