I've been under the care of three PCP's and a handful of specialists since early '11. Not one has ever uttered a word about fitness and/or weight loss. They just continue to write prescriptions.
Now, when I go in and I weigh 6 lbs. less than the last visit they'll mention that.
But I've recently awakened to realize it's my responsibility to take care of myself by getting back my fitness and weight in the hopes that I can get off the multitude of meds those educated and well-meaning folks seem to be addicted to prescribing.
To my consternation, I've come to realize that I'm being treated by pill pushers.
If I have a negative side effect from one med, another is prescribed to counter that one. Not a good thing.
