“I was expressing frustration with difficulty losing weight no matter what I did when I was in for my annual. My doctor looked me straight in the eye and said, ‘Just stop eating.’ I was so upset that I got into a car accident on the way home. Luckily, I was OK.”
“I was sent to an endocrinologist by my regular doctor for the same reason, and he looked at me like I was disgusting and condescendingly said, ‘Well, tracking calories is hard. Just go see the bariatric doctor for pills to make you lose weight.’ I rage shopped after that one.
It turns out I was on a medication that was causing it, and I only found out because I was too lazy to fill it, and then my insurance stopped covering it. Two months later, I’m down 10 pounds.”
