We wonder where we get all these ideas that we are to big or to fat, or not good enough. I go to a weight loss clinic twice

Rainey that just sounds CRAZY to me! At 5'5' and 144 he wants you to lose ANOTHER 20 pounds? OUCH! Don't send me to your Dr. I'm your exact height & weight and my Dr. has never said anything about my weight.

What a jerk! Who is this guy to think he just "knows" how much you're supposed to weigh? I can't stand doctors like that. Also, I disagree with the idea that we should weigh what we weighed in high school -- most of us were not totally through growing back then -- it's like comparing a colt to a horse.


Sounds like this guy just felt he "had" to tell you to lose some weight, even though he admitted you look trim!


And looking at your ticker, you have lost an AMAZING amount of weight, you deserve to just feel great about yourself!

Rainey, I can't believe your doctor would say that to you. Right now your BMI puts you in perfect range - getting down to 125 puts you borderline underweight and that's not even taking into consideration how much muscle mass you're carrying.


I think that was so irresponsible of him, considering you had already approached him about weight loss issues. No wonder there are thousands of women with eating disorders if we are getting those kind of messages from medical experts!


I think you have done a fabulous job, and nobody knows your body like you do - so lose until you feel comfortable and then maintain!

That's horrible Rainey- I'd call him a name, but I'm sure it would be censored out of the post!! I would, if I were you talk to your reg. doctor about this when he/she comes back. I'm sure they'd like to know that some of their reg. patients were not happy with the sub!!


You blow that bubble back up, and enjoy it :-)
