But that's gone the way of the dodo, too. I wonder if they are even taught to look at it anymore!


I moved after I had already lost 50 lbs but still had plenty more to go. My new doctor, who is better than most, used to feel it necessary to tell me that I was obese and needed to lose weight and I would remind her that I had already lost a significant amount of weight. She had never seen me at my heaviest. When I finally reached a “normal” weight according to bmi I asked her if she could please stop telling me I needed to lose weight and she agreed. This doctor has many good qualities but she looks like a lifelong ectomorph who perhaps finds it hard to understand the life journeys of us endomorphs.
