[squirrely girl]

i tend to feel that supporting a healthy lifestyle and changes like that are better than just calling a person obese (hello its not like the don't ALREADY know) - however, i also believe that if you really are only seeing your doc once a year it is a lot easier to avoid/fool/lie to them than it is to do to your friends.

my mom is diabetic and puts on a damn show for her doc every couple of months and tries to bs people into believing that she is completely in control of her health when in all honesty she eats irregularly, when she does eat it is poorly, forgets to take her meds and doesn't freaking exersize - i think that she truly believes what she is telling to the doc and others and is in a complete state of denial regarding her diabetes - i call her on it regularly but it doesn't seem to make a difference so who knows?
