Boy, did he give me a chewing out over my weight. I left his office, crying. We stopped for lunch on the way home. I had a salad and have never looked back. That's what it took for me to come to the ugly realization that I was going to have to try to improve my health through diet and exercise. Sure, there are times when I still long for that uncontrolled eating but I don't long for the body that I once had.
