I just got off the phone with my mom, she says "you need to lose some weight cause I don't want you to become a blob and die young from a heart attack". I know she worries cause a lot of my relatives were morbidly obese and died of heart disease at an early age. I told her my numbers are good (blood pressure and cholesterol low side of normal, sugar normal but on the high side, upper 90's) and my doctor doesn't seem concerned about it (I did only see the nurse practitioner before, going to see the MD in June), didn't even bother weighing me, which granted is difficult to do with me being unable to stand from my cp. But she said I should mention my family history to the dr when I go and I said I will. I mostly just "yes Mom'd" her through the whole thing, is there any better response to concerned friends/ family? And since we live in different states so she won't see me growing, do you think when I get heavier I should start fudging a bit when she asks about my weight, so she won't worry?
