Another way how being obese can hurt you:
“In the past 10 years or so, medicine has become so dependent on imaging,” Uppot said. “Instead of doing very meticulous clinical examinations, a lot of doctors now rely on CT scans, ultrasounds, etcetera, to tell them what’s happening inside the body. What happens when you’re too big to fit on a table? Or you can fit on a table but the image is poor quality?”

In my personal opinion, the doctors really have no idea what they’re talking about. My doctor told me the same thing everyone hears, “you shouldn’t lose more than 1lb per week”. Well, I have gone on a Slim Fast diet, taking in only 1,000 calories per day, as well as swimming for 3 hours per day after work. In the first two months I lost 50lbs, and have been successful at not gaining any back, as I do not want to go back to my old eating habits ever again, I’m too happy thin. My recent visit to the doctor was the same as always, he told me it was unhealthy to lose all that weight that quickly, but he did admit, he couldn’t find anything wrong with me. DOCTORS ARE FOR SICKNESSES! THEY ARE NOT TRAINED TO ASSIST IN WEIGHT LOSS AND YOU SHOULD NOT LISTEN TO THEM, I SURE AS HELL DON’T.
