S.S.
Airie I was just talking about this issue with my husband yesterday. My younger son had a weight issue for a long time. I always thought he as beautiful and perfect. He was him. He had lost 60 pounds. He spent a lot of time dieting and went to the doctor. The nurse who weighed at least forty more pounds than him said "Did you ever think about losing weight". I snapped at her and actually thought about telling her what to do with her butt. The point is people are beautiful and healthy at all ages. That kind of comment caused my very happy young man to go on horrid diets and he is not himself, he looks like a skeleton and is probably eight to one hundred pounds under his original weight. He was a very happy young man in so many ways before. He wanted to be a chef and made beautiful meals, very tasty. Now I believe he is doing all this from what society tends to do to people much like yourself, or myself, who are not skinny and tiny (I was at one point myself and I recall being dizzy from starvation and cranky all the time). They put pictures of stick models up and very few can emulate those people and they create chldren and adults who are insecure and are even healthy yet belittled by the medical profession. Well, I also paid close attention to doctors and nurses last year when I was in the hospital and they do not even keep to the ridiculously high standards people have set up. They are fleshy, have candy bowls on their counters and import wonderful salami sandwiches. Ok, that' s enough from me. I was ready to just praise you for sounding off here and it looks like I did. But I think your choice of doctor like everything else has to evolve with time. I feel I have wonderful doctors now, but I am older and spent years following through on different things. Go to whoever your carrier provides and keep hunting if necessary and if they give you any flack about your beautiful body I give you two sets of advice that do work: look them up and down and find some flaw in their body and ask them what they intend to do about that. You after all are paying them. And if they are still nasty tell em where to put it. Good luck and enjoy your family!
