Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Good for you, Ami! Yipppeee! Re: YIKES!! oooo you're gonna get me started now... this BS with obesity being the cause of: (fill in blank) for a great many overweight folks, obesity isn't the cause of anything... obesity is the visual symptom of something else being wrong and the body screaming at the top of it's lungs to get your head out of your butt and find out what is wrong!!!! Please.. don't anyone take that as an insult. it's not meant to be. I may very well weigh double what many of you weigh. I'm huge, a combination of hypo weight gain and now, the addition of the lymph fluid that has been building in my tissues over the last year, or more.... Even as large as I am I've lost a lot already, you can tell that my checking out my before and after clothes. My point is that all these years I was ridiculed and insulted and threatened because I was an over eater, lazy, irresponsible, didn't care about my health.. you name it, it was said to me.... and all this time it's messed up hormones and damage from a treatment that I was forced into by a doc that decided I was 'too fat to be sick' and sent me home in thyroid storm. It was after I began self treating AND I learned what I had to do to help my broken metabolism that I started to lose weight. Overweight is NOT a badge of sloth and overindulgence for everyone. Yes, for some it is... but not for everyone and I think it absolutely SUCKS that I'm put down when it's my medical issues that put me in this position and not my negligence in personal health. *HUGE sigh* There.. I said it and it's out of my system. Topper () *sticking foot in mouth, hold it.. I'm typing, not talking.. putting socks on hands, so I can't type any more ---- right after I start the dictation program and put on my microphone..... hehehehe* __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Woohoo that soapbox is getting a workout! I love it.

I was getting the "lecture"the other night at a restaurant that I frequent fromone of the servers who is a "personal trainer" abouthow obesity causes high blood pressure, diabetes, highcholesterol, etc. I felt sorry for her that she wastaught all the hype and hadn't researched it forherself. Even the CDC admits that they made a mistakeand had overestimated the actual number of obesitydeaths. I'm fat and I've been fat all my life, but Ido not have high blood pressure, high cholesterol(triglycerides is another matter, and should come downwith proper thyroid treatment), diabetes or heartdisease. Now this is my personal opinion, so take itas such, but obesity deaths are usually NOT an obesityproblem. It's like /Topper was saying about theunderlying cause of WHY we are fat. And yes, Iqualify to use the word fat because I top the scalesat approximately 415 lbs currently. I've been as highas 525 in the past. Trust me, I KNOW what fat is. Most of us who are fat, especially the super sizedlike me, don't like to go to the doctor because allmost of the doctors will do is throw the currentlyrecommended diet sheet at you and tell you to loseweight. If the average diet worked, most of usfatties wouldn't be fatties. Doctors must work harderto treat us as individuals and not numbers on asocially acceptable scale. It's not right and it'scertainly not fair or ethical, but it's sociallyacceptable to berate us. I am stared at inrestaurants a lot of the time. I've learned not tosee it, but it burns my Mom's butt big time.Ok, the soapbox is going back in the corner behind thecomputers. )Kathy >^,,^<KitzCat146@...http://www.chaytongroup.com/modernbill/order/index.php?aid=ka081104http://www.heartwarmers4u.com/members/?kitzcatkitzcat2001 on Yahoo Messengerkitzcat on MSN MessengerIn a cat's eyes, all things belong to cats. - English Proverb__________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Yeh, and even the fact that this doctor is not concerned about it all makes me think that the doc wants his/her license pulled. Begging for a State Board Review?????????? I just don't get it, neither do I want to get it.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 I don't really want to get it either. It's discouraging to say the least. It's downright depressing to say the most. These doctors just don't understand or WANT to understand what it feels like. You can bet if they felt this lousy, they'd be jumping through hoops to find out what made them feel better - even if it was "outdated" medicine. Sheeeeesh. -- Re: YIKES!!
