Just had to share and figured this was the best place for it. I went to my appointment for the doc to check out the varicose veins on the back of my leg. Surprisingly enough both of my legs are bad and need the procedure done. Anyway, as he was getting up to leave I asked him what caused this to happen. He rattled off a few things, pregnancy, genetics, standing for long periods of time etc. I asked him if being overweight would cause them. He says…”Yes definitely. But your not overweight”

I almost fell off my chair. I’ve never had a doctor say that to me before.

Then we talked for 10 more minutes about the way I eat and his only concern was whether or not it was sustainable. I told him it has to be…I’m never going back to that weight again!
