I Know Why People Don't Want to Go to the Dr.

Miserable from a sinus infection, I went to the Dr. today to get some antibiotics so I can kick this thing. 

I was told I drink too much and was then reminded that I am fat.

I am livid. I am not deluded and think I am skinny,  I know I need to lose weight. But they don't ever ask questions that lead them to find out that I have actually lost around 50 lbs in the past few years, that I exercise 3-4 times a week (way more than the average person), I drink a ton of water, and while I don't eat well all the time, I try to eat the right things. But I'm fat, so of course they assume I don't do these things. I could've told them I wear a smaller jean size than the average woman.

And I do drink a little too much. But I drink less than A LOT of people I know. Besides, I answered their questions honestly. People probably drink more, but lie about it. 

So I can see why people don't want to go the dr. A simple visit turns into a rundown of everything that is wrong with a person. This actually makes me want to eat and drink right now.

I want to tell you about the Grand Canyon, but I am too pissed right now. Just know that everything I saw was grand, amazing and looked fake because it was so beautiful.  If you haven't been, I suggest that you go, but don't get too close to the edge...people do fall to their deaths that way.

Hope you all had a better start to your day than I did.
