The Dreaded Doctor's Appointment

I haven't been to the Doctor's Office in a long time. Maybe in a couple of years. One of the reasons I dread going to the office as an adult is because I am now an OVERWEIGHT ADULT. For all of you skinny people out there, this basically means that your experience at the doctor is drastically different from everyone else. For starters, the weigh in is very uncomfortable and everyone who looks at your weight has a shocked and judgmental look on their face. This facial expression takes me weeks to get over. It's awful to have someone judge you so cruelly to your face like that. And the worst part of all of this is that that their judgment is acceptable because they are telling you that you need to lose weight for your health. I guess it wouldn't bother me as much if this was actually what they were telling me. But I don't think that is true at all.
Doctors have always fascinated me. I have never actually ever had a friend who is a Doctor. I don't know one Doctor. That's kind of bizarre. I have friends who are Social Workers, Writers, Actors, Receptionists, Editors, Health Inspectors, Cops, Teachers, Travel Agents, Travel Writers, the list goes on...But not one Doctor, ever?????? I have come to believe that Doctor's are cold, cruel, judgmental people that I wish to associate with as little as possible.
One of the reasons for my distant relationship with Doctor's is the advice that they give to patients such as myself. They judge my weight and claim that a woman who is 5'10 with a large frame should weigh 140 pounds. I have weighed that much before,in High School, and I can recall comments being made about my Spinal Cord being highly visible to everyone around me. I was ridiculously skinny and for a doctor, or anyone in general to suggest I weigh that much again, is ape shit crazy!
My Doctor suggested that I go on a Plant based diet, which sounds great but how is that realistic at all. I find myself surrounded daily by foods that are just the opposite. Which brings me to my last point! The last and final reason I hate doctors is their unrealistic advice. Suggest a diet that works and that I can fit into my lifestyle. I am not like you: a frustrated, lonely, judgmental person who thinks that he/she is smarter than everyone else! I actually have a life, so give me advice I could fit into my life!
