[quote=Anonymous]OP, anonymous nurse here! You have a totally valid reason to be concerned. I hated going to the doctor while I was struggling with my weight because I always left feeling worse about myself. Go in because I twisted my ankle at practice? Get told if I lost weight I wouldn't be putting so much stress on my body. Yes, because when I fell in a ditch and jerked my ankle around, that was totally caused by the extra 20 pounds I'm carrying. Even in college I hated the Dr. Because I felt like I'd be judged the second I stepped on the scale. It definitely impacted my seeing a doctor when I needed to. Is your daughter close to 17? If she is more adult than child,I'd recommend getting her out of pediatrics. I had a much easier time when I made the switch at 21, although at that point I was only borderline overweight. And yes, nurses can be the worst patients. I drive DH insane when I self diagnosis instead of going to a doctor! [/quote]
