    My mum was told by her doctor that if she continues to be a vegetarian, she will end up 'doubly incontinent' (my mum has been veggie over 30 years and is ultra healthy, in shape, doesn't eat processed food, doesn't smoke, rarely drinks etc, exercises regularly and teaches yoga, she was just having some random stomach pains, and has never, ever, even been slightly incontinent lol )
    What an idiot. I don't even think he's a real Dr..

    What is "Double incontinence"? Incontinence that makes your head explode?

    My parents took me to see a doctor about my weight when I was in my teens. The doctor himself was, shall we say "ample". He gave me a book full of awful diet recipes (baked apples with diet soda, that kind of thing) and insisted that I should start running as soon as I could. Yeah, that lasted for all of 2 days.

    My mom makes those baked apples with diet soda lol.

    I make chicken breasts with ketchup and diet Dr, Pepper. They actually are really good.

    Dude what.

    Double incontinence means unable to control both bladder and bowel. That's a real bit of terminology, but the connection with being vegetarian is just loopy (not a technical term!)

    when i expressed concern for my inability to lose weight due to meds, my psychiatrist said, "does your husband still find you attractive?"
    i said yes

    dr. said, "then don't worry about your weight or size." :o

    As a vegetarian for the past 30 years, I agree that's loopy!

    They told me to only put cream cheese on one side of a bagel but I think she should have just told me to cut out bagels entirely because I end up wanting more than one or one with something else.
