Wait -- no I don't. <br /><br />And the part about my doctor "aid"ing me? Best accomplished by asking about my entire lifestyle instead of assuming by default that I should or want to lose weight. (Which, I mean my actual doctor already does -- but she's going to be out of line with the task force recommendations.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349382186889721635.post-29693334988497876702012-06-29T11:21:30.724-05:002012-06-29T11:21:30.724-05:00I don't think I recieve any direct criticism a...I don't think I recieve any direct criticism about my weight (at least not recently), but I do feel affected by media messages, even when they're directed at other people. For example, there have been a lot of negative and down right cruel headlines about Jessica Simpson gaining baby weight. I gave birth 5 months ago and am now trying to lose the weight I gained during my pregnancy. So when I see headlines about Jessica being sooooooooo huge after her birth and all her *desperate* struggles with her baby weight, I feel attacked too. I just want to yell, "STFU, Us Weekly!"AMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16291349660082290625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349382186889721635.post-82467454484642704902012-06-27T14:20:31.375-05:002012-06-27T14:20:31.375-05:00I definitely empathize with the "emotional ex...I definitely empathize with the "emotional exhaustion" of living under the constant social stigma. This year it feels worse than ever. I literally can not escape negative messages about my weight and the implicit (sometimes explicit) messages about what a failure I am for existing in this body.Kit Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032778466483088194noreply@blogger.com
