The statistics say that less than 5% of people will lose their weight and keep it off indefinitely - that's pretty scary! Even more so when it's doctors that should be doing ANYTHING they can to help people.<br /><br />The sad thing about this situation is that it makes people reluctant to go to the doctor when they seriously need medical treatment.<br /><br />You're right - you didn't change in the space of an hour, but she did - she showed her true colours and how judgemental she is and that's something she should feel ashamed of.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314146110990484008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25857975.post-11994144632825554572011-01-09T12:38:46.085+10:302011-01-09T12:38:46.085+10:30That's awful!

I would have turned around and said "and it's people like you who make Obese people feel they are unworthy and unable to lose weight" What a stupid woman. That post made me really frustrated for all of us out there who have ever been treated that way. I just can't beleive after all of your fantastic success you were made to feel things you haven't felt in 4 years. That's just not fair at all. You have worked way too hard to be brought back to that state of mind. <br />Kazz just remember what you've been through and take comfort in the fact that she's probably never had to go through any such life change.. her attitude stinks!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486817113198896266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25857975.post-45623530869189921732011-01-08T20:25:15.410+10:302011-01-08T20:25:15.410+10:30Hi Kazz,,,
I got really annoyed reading your post...Hi Kazz,,,<br /><br />I got really annoyed reading your post as I think it reminded me of similar situations I've experienced over the years. I was also really tick off (on your behalf) that you were treated like this. <br /><br />I remember going to a Dr when I was about 22 years old. At the time I weighed around 95 - 100 kg and was asking for help to lose weight. (I had been told he prescribed pills to speed up your metabolism as he gave some to a friend who only weighed 85kg so I thought I could get some too), but for some reason his attitude with me was almost disgust.<br /><br />He said "people 'like you' need to learn self control because you can't be helped unless you learn that first. He then went on to say that "you probably eat more for breakfast then I eat in an entire day" and told me to "come back when I can prove I can sucessfully decline food and lose 15kg on my own, then he would look at helping. <br /><br />Well I went on to gain another 35kg but will never forget how worthless that arrogant Dr made me feel. he was around 6 foot tall and probably weighed about 70kg and I am convinced he had no idea what it was like to gain weight so easily, yet find it so hard to lose. <br /><br />I later went on to discover I had polycystic overies and thankfully found a sweetheart of a dr who told me it would be near impossible for me to lose weight eating like a regular person, as I didn't have the body, metabolism or system of a regular person.<br />Once I received some education about how my body handled carbs etc I was able to put this knowledge into practice and start the slow journey down the scales (rather then up).<br /><br />You have done so AMAZINGLY well and that nurse had better change her tune and hopefully realise her HUGE mistake with her comments and attitude. I don't think I could have maintained my composure if I was on the receiving end of the big hip comment. I think I would have given a wee piece of my mind and said "do you have any idea how friggin hard I'ved worked these past few years" and told her just how well you have done by losing so much weight and transforming yourself the way you have. <br /><br />Anyway,,, enough of a rant.<br /><br />Ciao for now<br /><br />lyniseName: Lynisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09623187338341139349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25857975.post-84320779226106232952011-01-08T07:48:52.321+10:302011-01-08T07:48:52.321+10:30Gosh Kazz isnt it strange how quickly someone can ...Gosh Kazz isnt it strange how quickly someone can change their attitude towards you once they hear a few simple words. I wish everyone wasnt so arrogant or narrow minded to larger people.<br />Also like how you wrote a letter about that doctor who suggested shakes to lose weight faster, how rude and even dangerous is that for a doc to suggest!!<br />Keep up your inspirational work chick<br /><br />xo<br />BecBechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801704856529009565noreply@blogger.com
