[quote name='AngellicLulu']If I was coming in for a physical I would care to hear it but I was going in for an illness. I just needed the facts for my illness.[/QUOTE]
But when was the last time you went? 6 months? 3 months?
Any significant weight gain over such a relatively small term should be mentioned by the doctor. Of course, I guess how the doctor broached the topic may play in to the emotional responce a little...
They are mentioning it because they have your best intrest at heart and a true concern for your health. It's not as if they're trying to embarass or make fun of you.. if you doctor said "Hey, blimpo, lay of the twinkies" or "Hey, tubby, it's not like you couldn't skip a meal", then you may want to find another doctor. But really, if they are a good doctor, they just want to be conginsant of something that could be an issue. Not to mention that it's ever so much easier to gain weight than it is to lose it.
