Fat nurse asks for weight loss advice There was a blood drive today in my area and I decided to go donate blood for my very first time. The nurse that was taking my information (maybe 5'9 or so, heavy set, I'm not good at guessing weight) looked at my driver's license and saw my fat picture on it (I've been dreading the dmv so I haven't had a new picture taken yet). she looked at me and said "you used to be fat?!" I couldn't help but laugh, and I nodded and yeah. she asked me what I had done to lose the weight, and I said exercise and counting calories. she said "that's all I have to do to lose weight?!" and I agreed. she kept asking more questions about my diet, how I feel (happiness wise), making comments on how I have no lose skin and how young I look, etc. at the time I didn't really think about it, but when I got home it had dawned on me that she must have gone to some sort of medical school, yet she doesn't know how weight loss even occurs?? I see so so many fats in the medical field (sadly), and it really makes me wonder if they even know HOW to lose weight? whenever I see a thin nurse or doctor these days, I feel like I'm seeing a unicorn.
