Obese Story # 2

A woman in New Hampshire is filing a formal complaint because her doctor basically told her she needed to lose weight to be healthy.

Having lost about 50 pounds over the last 2 years. I am on the doctor's side. A doctor should always tell you the truth, whether you are obese, an alcoholic, or whatever. Chances are that person is already in denial and by sugar coating it, it just makes the doctor or family member an enabler.

Given a choice between a straight forward, honest doctor and a doctor who is a diplomat, give me the honest doctor every time.

Last word: adults should not be coddled and if you have a weight problem, join Weight Watchers. Today!
