First time under 200 pounds in at least 2 years.

Congrats on your weight loss.

You will be fine in your class. I'd be sitting there thinking "I hope I get him". Don't worry, you look great. (Now, maybe if you have a super-athletic class and there's lots of body competition, that's another story...)

I'm in health care, too, and find that when things like this happen to me, they make me a better provider. I don't just sympathize, I can empathize. Patients can tell the difference (at least, mine can)...even when you don't tell them about HOW you understand what they are going through. Use your anger at the situation to improve your own future practice. Keep a copy of your written out story to remember every so often, because time will cause you to forget.

Your weight loss struggle and success will be a great asset for you in caring for others.
