I live in a small town in Northern Ireland, and I have been gaining weight steadily since I was 9 years old. ! ! ! (when I took my first period.... sorry if TMI) lol
My GP has been following it the whole way.... I have suggested everything, but you know that attitude that thin people have towards fat people... you are just eating too much. I have even had the suggestion that I was this fat because I was eating too much red meat, so when I stopped eating red meat for a whole month with no results, I was told that I wasnt eating enough red meat. ! ! ! ! ! !
He told me that I was eating too many pies....and when I told him I dont eat pies, he said... oh stop eating cakes then.... I said.. I dont eat cakes, I dont even buy them OR biscuits........ next was... oh stop eating all those bars of chocolate at night... I said... I dont eat chocolate because I dont like it.... I was accused of lying.... the old fashioned attitude of 'well you MUST be eating these things'...'all fat people eat these things'.... errrrr Excuse me WRONG. ! ! !. He also didnt believe me when I said that I went to the gym 3 times a week, played squash for an hour before that and did some gentle weight training afterwards.. and never lost an ounce...
so I was sent to the dietician, I kept a food diary for one month, she looked at it for about 3 seconds, and started the lecture..'now Deborah you really will have to stop eating pies and cakes.....'
AARRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I have given up trying to get any help from my GP or anyone medical at all....but sometimes I feel that surgery is my only answer.... :cry: but I dont want too because I have a daughter now and the risks are too large for me now.....
:sigh:
