That ticks me off too. I'm even honest when my dentist asks me how often I floss! If there's one person to tell the truth to about your health issues, it's your doctor! I can't imagine she's getting proper treatment for her issues if she's lying about her food intake. Of course she ended up in the hospital, with that caloric intake! I bet she hasn't told her doctor about those diet pills too. Hope there isn't a conflict between that and her medications.

I understand both about the difference between overweight/obese (it has been a long time, I don't remember anymore), and going to the doctor. I just hate going because I get uncomfortable. So I haven't gone to a general physician in years. Just this past Decemeber I started going to a GYN, but that was to get on birth control (mainly). That's been the only doctor I have seen in a long time. Honestly, I think some (not all, certainly not all) of my weight has been because of my BC. It is a known side-effect and I totally failed in my own expectations of exercising.

Girlie - I would make some smart remark about the heat, but I think I am just grumpy because I feel like the office is overly hot today. And it hasn't been too bad yet, just got hotter a lot sooner than usual. Hopefully the weather is nice when you come.
Lizzie - That is a really good point. I think ignoring symptoms is a bad idea and my FILs are both doctors so I can't not go forever. I think part of me just wants to get settled down and not have to switch. I dislike the idea of having to switch doctors even more than going. Yeah, I am weird.
Midge-have a FAbulous weekend. I confess that I want a baby desperately-so badly that I briefly entertained thoughts about an ex who is in an open marriage since FI is infertile. I couldn't so this because FI is not that interested in having kids-which he didn't decide until we were several years into the relationship.

wrigleyville-I found that out after an illness caused a miscarriage and also a chronic medical condition that at my age would make the baby's chances for being born healthy middling at best. My 45th birthday was this year, and I just having trouble letting go of the baby thing.

I'm the last person on Earth to give dieting/healthy eating advice to anyone but the remark about lying to her doctor just floored me.
