I actually think it had more to do with having a new eyedoctor.

I suspect that, among many other issues, my mother died of fat hatred too–so your post certainly pulled at some heartstrings. I literally made the comment to a couple of faculty that “people with weight problems” (because goodness knows I couldn’t call them fat; that’d be unprofessional, y’know) tend not to seek medical care. One, who is in family practice with an emphasis on weight loss, gasped, “WHYEVER would they not go to doctors?!?” I smiled and said, “Because I’ve had doctors assume that all of my problems were due to my weight. I fired them and went in search of my own healthcare.” A couple of us are trying to get a speaker for our class to talk about how to provide compassionate yet comprehensive care for larger patients; I fear it might be one of those “make sure they understand how DANGEROUS it is to be overweight!” things but we’re trying…

Oh, and I don’t know where I saw it, but whoever is doing the demand feeding thing/recommended “When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies?” I owe you big time. Is currently changing my life. Gave it to my body-hating thin sister. :)

Kate, I will email experiences to the address as they arise (and as I have time; derm is kicking my derriere hardcore because, well, wouldn’t you know, I get queasy looking at crusty skin lesions).

I’m not sure) to let them know that regardless of whether or not fat kills, fat hatred kills just as well.

It’s here and if you do share it, I suggest you also take along the comments. My mother is not the first, and sadly will not be the last person to prefer death over facing the fat prejudice of their doctor.
