This is about the same food-and-exercise regimen (or lack thereof) I had when I was 20, and I wasn't overweight then. <BR/><BR/>So, maybe some people put onelswherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09682431666658202440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15583952.post-1131743424672958832005-11-11T16:10:00.000-05:002005-11-11T16:10:00.000-05:00Oy vey, thou dost strike a nerve with this one.I a...Oy vey, thou dost strike a nerve with this one.<BR/><BR/>I am very careful with eating.<BR/><BR/>I have never been fat.<BR/><BR/>Most everybody at my job is fat and they say things like, "well you're lucky!"<BR/><BR/>No. I don't eat a Coke and a Snickers bar for breakfast, you idiot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15583952.post-1131508000493021432005-11-08T22:46:00.000-05:002005-11-08T22:46:00.000-05:00I can recommend counseling, but I don't know as an...I can <EM>recommend</EM> counseling, but I don't know as anyone's ever taken me up on it.

Written by a physician who so enjoys her patients, like the longtime smoker with COPD who coughs when he crosses the street and is convinced he's coming down with avian flu.

Shockingly, his thyroid was completely normal. He then went to another physician, who threw him on some thyroid pills and threw him into a. fib. Guess who got to care for him in the hospital.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273493776473085128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15583952.post-1131404131553704612005-11-07T17:55:00.000-05:002005-11-07T17:55:00.000-05:00Magic Human!
