How to politely tell your dr. that you are not interested in losing weight ?

Most people do not realize this, but you have a right NOT to be weighed at the doctor's office. Therefore, since you are happy with your weight and are otherwise healthy, why not step on that doctor's office scale again?

This will give your doctor the hint that your weight is not up for discussion. Sometimes actions speak louder than words. If she does not know how much you weigh, she cannot compare your weight to those charts on the wall, right?

If the numbers say you are overweight (or have high blood pressure or whatever) then your physician has both an ethical and a legal responsibility to provide you with education about healthy weight (or healthy blood pressure or whatever). Stop taking this as a personal attack. The doctor is just doing his/her job. Just tell the doctor that you understand the information he/she has provided and that you aren't interested in weight loss, diet, or exercise at this time. This isn't a big deal unless you choose to make a big deal out of it.

You clearly have issues. You realize you are PAYING her to monitor your health and give you directives. It's certainly up to you if you want to ignore her. If you are happy with yourself obese, nobody can convince you otherwise. But don't make up BS about outdated information, or try and make her feel bad for doing the responsible thing, just because your other doctors didn't.

Just do what you want and ignore her advice, or find another dr. If someone I worked with, or hired me, told me not to tell him the correct information because it wasn't what he or she wanted to hear, I'd suggest they find another professional.

Why bring it up? I had a doctor try to tell me about the possible health risks involved because of my weight. I just smiled and nodded and then promptly forgot everything he told me. No need to be confrontational about it.

Here's a thought. Get another doctor.

It is not so much her right to do so as it is her job to do so. You are asking how to tell her not to do her job.

She is concerned because she knows that unless you control your weight your future will one of all the things that come with metabolic syndrome. These are heart disease, stroke, accelerated aging, possible diabetes and the amputations that come with it.

By adding that you know it's her job and you will consider her advice, and I'm sure she will think that is reasonable enough, and you're both on the same page.

Play the game, say oh is it, nod your head and yes to everything. Then go and have a Big Mac :)
