  • Summary

  • Why does my doctor say I am obese? Does being obese mean I am not healthy? What does obese mean? Is obese a medical term? Is obesity science? Is obesity a disease? Why do I feel shame around the word obese? Do I need an advocate at my doctors appointment? Why does my doctor treat being obese like a death sentence? How do I get my doctor to believe me and do something besides focus on my weight? I am fat, why can't I get help from my doctor? Why do I feel so bad when I go to the doctor? Why does the doctor make me feel guilty? Why does my medical paperwork and doctors notes make me feel stressed? Why do doctors need to know our weight?

    Guru Shabd, LMFT and Tresla, Advocate and Public Speaker get into this with collected peer reviewed journal research and even more passion than before.
