    mm, true, but blaming weight for unrelated conditions (or worse, the condition that is actively causing the weight gain) helps absolutely no one. And there is a massive tendency in medical professions to prejudge a patient and fob them off with “lose weight” rather than actually diagnose the issue.

      Exactly this, telling me to lose weight but not offering me any support or help with it doesn’t help me to treat my pcos and weight loss should be slow and methodical, so it doesn’t help treat some of the issues associated with it now.

        mofo didn’t even discuss helping you lose weight beyond his (it’s always a him) imperious mandate to do so? Someone should go take a shit in his letterbox.
