My�gynecologist�is the only doctor that�has been�supportive of my intentional weight gain. When I saw her after I had been gaining for a while, I was 175 lbs, which is 45�pounds�heavier than I was at my�last examination the previous year. When she inquired�about my recent weight gain, I told her that I gained on purpose because I wanted to be more curvy. She was�very curious, and asked me a lot of questions about�my weight
gain�journey:
"What was it like to go from thin to fat?" "Did you outgrow all of your clothes?" "What areas grew the most?"�Despite her being open minded about my gaining intentionally, she did not encourage me to continue gaining. When I was getting ready to leave she�said, "It's great that you want to be more curvy, but I think�175 lbs is a good place to stop,�don't you agree?"
My primary care physicians have not been as supportive as my OB/GYN. My first doctor was so fat phobic, she told me to go on a diet when I was only 140 lbs�(I am 5'6", and 140 lbs is not even remotely overweight for my height).�She actually had the nerve to tell me to stop eating so many carbohydrates. After that visit, I�cancelled all future�appointments and decided to find a different�doctor.
I was 35 pounds�heavier by the time I found a new doctor.�Fortunately, she�was unable to obtain my previous medical records so she had no idea I used to be thin. After getting my current�weight, she said that I was overweight and advised me to lose weight and exercise. I blamed my weight on having a sedentary job and being a "hearty eater".�I wasn't brave enough to tell her that I actually love my growing curves and have no intention of losing weight, so I just pretended to be agreeable and compliant. Much to her dismay, when I went for a follow-up appointment a month later, I�had gained an additional 10 lbs.
I've�considered�switching doctors again, because my current physician�is inevitably going to ask me if I've been implementing her advice to lose weight and exercise. But I highly doubt that any doctor, no matter how "fat friendly" they are,�would support my desire to gain another 500+ lbs! lol
lol thanks for sharing.
