Against Doctors Orders

Chapter 1 - First Exam

You've never been classified as skinny, always just slightly overweight. The years went by and your waist line widened.

Now in your 30s you decided to see a new doctor. The one you've been seeing retired and you were nervous what the new one would be like. You nervously wait in the lobby for your name to be called. You hear your name and quickly follow the nurse to the private room. Instinctively you remove your shoes knowing that you'll be weighed soon. As expected you are told to step up, you hold your breath and look at what it displays {240lb}. the nurse makes note of it and moves onto your blood pressure. she says the reading, but it goes deaf in your mind after seeing how much weight you have put on. The nurse hands you a gown and says to change and the doctor will me in soon.

After she leaves you start undressing taking in how much bigger your belly, and thighs are now. You step back on the scale it reads 238 without your clothes. looking yourself over you notice that you've started developing more stretch marks, and a bulge of fat above your stomach. feeling your chest, you feel it's defiantly softer than before. You hear a knock on the door and snap back to your surroundings, sitting down on the exam bed and welcome them in.

Dr. Baker walks in, she was in her mid 40s you'd have to guess and has a very welcoming voice. She looks at your chart quickly then turns to you. " Nice to meet you, I'm Dr. Baker I see you are here for a yearly check up." You nod and explain that it's been a few years since you'd been to the doctor and wanted to make sure that everything was still good. Dr. Baker nods and makes a quick note. She starts with the normal retain of checking your heart rate, inside ears. The she gets to the touching your stomach and you feel how much her hand is seeping into your fat. She Looks to you " have you been having any stomach pains?" You nod no and explain that you've recently started a new job that is remote and need to look into getting into a new routine for exercise. Dr. Baker agrees and finishes the exam. " Do you have any history of heart disease, or diabetes in your family?" she asked you while typing things into your file. After telling her that you had both in your family with one parent succumbing to complications with diabetes. " So according to your weight in height your BMI is 38.7 which puts you into Class 2 Obesity." The words seem to echo in your head as you look down at your shirt that seemed to have fit better last month. " I'm going to have you do some blood work and see what we are dealing with fully, and put you in contact with a nutritionist. You thank her for her time and tell her that you will be working on fixing this.

You leave the doctors office after getting blood drawn and start driving home replaying the visit over in your head. " I haven't gotten that fat. you say to yourself and your stomach growls. Looking down the road you see McDonalds and instinctively pull in and order a LG Big Mac Meal with a coke. Pulling over into the back parking lot to eat you say to yourself " I'll start the diet tomorrow"
