I'm so sorry for your loss. I've lost friends to breast cancer as well, and it is indeed heart breaking. I recently made a wedding cake for the daughter of a friend that we lost to breast cancer twenty years ago. I was so sad that she couldn't be here to see her daughter get married.
I also hate going to the Dr. because of some really rude things that have been said by them and their staff. I went to a Dr. for help with my weight back when I was 25 years old and under 200 pounds. I had my thyroid checked and I did have a problem with it, but the Dr was so rude to me. She said "if you would just stop stuffing yourself you would lose weight". I didn't stuff myself then. The real eating issues came later. I was so angry and hurt that I've avoided Dr's ever since. I felt so helpless to change the situation then, I really didn't know what to do. It would have been so nice to get some real help with it. I wish we would have had the internet to go to then. I've gotten so much helpful information by researching on my own.
Thanks for the reminder to get check-ups, I'm another one that has been neglectful of them.

I'm really sorry for your losses. I know how heartbreaking it can be.

Some doctors baffel me. It is unbelievable what some doctors can say. It soounds so ignorent of them. I often wonder how they got through medical school without learning that it's not as simple as not stuffing your face.

I feel better talking to you all, thanks for listening

No, I'm ashamed to say I didn't tell the doctor. I was afraid he would say something else about my weight too. I find I am very bold in writing but gutless face to face.

Paula, I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend.

As I get older, I'm constantly reminded that there can be serious health consequences to being overweight for most of our lives. Kudos to all of us for making our health a priority and doing what we can to prevent future problems.

I know . I've been very lucky up until lately with joints, but now when I first wake up my hips and lower back don't feel the greatest.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I hate getting my girls squashed but it is a must.

My sister had breast cancer when she was in her late 30s, and now she has two beautiful baby girls. I still can't talk or think about it without almost crying. I'm so sorry for your sadness.
