I've been hearing about it, and I'm going to get it on my Kindle. I understand from a medical standpoint the effects of increased weight on joint wear and tear, along with its long term effects on hormones, blood pressure, etc (well, what we think we know, anyway). So while what the doctor was telling me was completely valid I didn't and cannot stand for the way they always throw that shit at me without asking if I've been doing anything in regards to fitness or diet. The implication being if I really *wanted* to be thin I would have been thin as soon as I walked through their door. Which, hmm, it's a little bit more complicated than that, but thanks for constantly reducing it to the simplest elements, random health care professional who doesn't know me AT ALL.

*breath*

Okay, I'm just a little tired of this whole thing. I just want to go "doctors suck" and leave it at that.
