[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing getting lost in this conversation is that the folks that have been using this for years are under medical supervision.

When you’re getting it off the Internet against medical advice that is a completely different beast.

I think the disconnect is because women like op are told by their doc they are fat and must do something about it, but these same doctors telling them being fat is bad also don't want to help them and provide appropriate supervision for meds that they know will work and make them not fat. Hard lines like "you're not fat enough for these meds, you need to weigh exactly this much to qualify to be supervised by me, you can do it on your own" are frustrating and not helping patients with their health, so women feel judged, frustrated and turn to online providers. The same thing is happening with women and HRT and online services.[/quote]

I hear you. I also hear her doc advising weight loss, not calling her fat. Op doesn’t seem concerned with her own health as much as how to lie to her doctor. [/quote]

She's definitely calling her fat, in the sense she is looking at a BMI chart and declaring her unhealthy based on weight only, since op describes pretty good habits and no blood work issues. [/quote]

Fat is an emotionally loaded word. BMI means nothing. Bloodwork was definitely not addressed by op. [/quote]
