While I'm glad that the chiropractor said to you what you evidently needed to hear at the time, I don't think he should have been quite so blunt.

Many obese people don't go to the doctors or any health care professional unless they are so sick they have no choice. This is because of the hurtful bluntness of health care professionals like your chiropractor. I have known several obese women who have postponed pap smears for years b/c of their embarrassment due to their weight.

My own weight has been a source of embarrassment to me but nobody has ever humilated one ounce off me. Anyway, I'm glad you're back here and I wish you every success.
