100 pounds down!

Looking for a place to vent, so I decided here. As the title of the original post says, I have lost 100 pounds (actually 102, now). Back in June when I was down 40, I got a physical and blood work done. I told the doctor that I was working on losing weight. I told him how I was doing it (logging calories on MyFitnessPal, starting to work out, etc.). So, to keep me accountable, we set up another appointment for yesterday (12/22) to do a weight check.

I showed up feeling awesome about myself. Wondering how happy my doctor would be, etc. I got nothing positive from him. Again, he asked how I was doing it. I told him the same things I told him in June. His response, "Well, you won't be successful in the long term. What you really need to do is cut out all sugars from your diet.". He then proceeded to tell me a bunch of science stuff as to why. I am not saying that his points weren't valid. Maybe they are, but, to phrase it that way, and to give me no credit to how hard I have worked annoyed me.

Truth is I didn't (and don't) need his pat on the back to encourage me. I know how much better I feel and how much more I can do now that I have lost this weight, but, to not, at least, acknowledge that I am taking ownership of my weight, and that I am doing great things for my body annoys me. I believe he could have said something like, "Wow, you're doing very well. You should be proud of yourself, but, beware of the dangers. Let's come up with a plan that keeps you this healthy the rest of your life.". That's maybe what I would have said. He also didn't look at me in the eye and kept telling me that I should buy a specific book. As much as he mentioned it, makes me wonder if he is getting a kick back on sales.

Anyway, thanks for letting me vent. I am looking for another doctor.
