    You look amazing, I think your doctor 'should have gone to Specsavers!'

    But it's possible she forgot she must see so many patients. But I do think its time to find a new Dr. She can be very blunt sometimes & it is triggering.

    Maybe she got you confused with someone else then?

    Your doctor's comments don't make much sense as you look amazing in both photos so my inclination, where the facts are not established, is always to think the scenario which puts me in the best possible light is the right one ;)

    You look strong, healthy and beautiful right now.
    I know it isn't where you want to be but maybe appreciate what you have while you work on getting where you'd like to be.

    You look amazing in both photos. I agree with changing doctors. You need a doctor that can build you up not tear you down. Especially with your history of eating disorders.

    Honestly - it looks like you've gained muscle, not fat. You look great! But good luck on your goals; if you find yourself restricting calories below healthy levels, please consider going to a new doctor.

    Perhaps the doctor was not being malicious?

    This is basically my question/thought. How, exactly, did the doctor say this? And what did she follow up this statement with?

    15-20 lb is what I would consider a fair amount of weight, but it's not necessarily bad. In addition, since your doctor knows of your battle(s) with anorexia, was she maybe pleased by the weight gain?

    Sometimes doctors can be incredibly insensitive. My problem is that they always tend to look at me and say I should have weight loss surgery. At my age I now let them know that that was not appropriate when I am not seeing you about my weight. Of course I know I need to lose weight and no I don't want to have surgery! Yesterday my doctor made me cry because she asked me who was there to support me with my husband who has cancer, my broken wrist and my weight loss struggles. No one, no one is there to support me - I need a housekeeper.

    Wow, your doctor was a jerk! I'm the same way. I'm fit, but not as fit as I was. If someone told me that, it would devastate me. I'm currently trying to get to the point that I'll be happy in a two piece. c31xfhaxjkc8.jpg

    You look lovely in both pics and perhaps your doctor was tactless. However, it's their job to talk about weight loss/gain with you.
