Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004Oh my poor sister
My sister has been trying to lose weight and not succeeding (I believe because she underestimates how much she eats and overestimates how hard she works out, but anyway) and she went to her doctor about it. Her doctor put her on some kind of diet pills and a 1000 calorie a day, low-fat diet. She has a meal planner that she's supposed to follow, but she's calling her doctor every day saying "I don't eat such and such. What can I have instead?" Anyway, I hope this works for her, but I wonder what will happen when she goes off the diet.  SignatureMichelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws.

Does not seem like she really wants to work forever on staying slim.

She says "Every once in a while my body tells me it needs bread, and I have to listen to what my body tells me." She'll listen to her doctor instead of listening to her body, but not to me. I think it's because she doesn't want the "i told you so" from me if she did lose on low-carb. SignatureMichelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws.

You could also tell her that her body doesn't necessarily know more than her brain.

What a good point! If our bodies did know more, we would all have been in great shape all along. SignatureJean B. > >> She won't try it, even though I've lost weight on it.

Yeah, I've told her that, she says she's different because she is more in tune with her body and its needs than the average person. She also thinks she is psychic. I love my sister, but she's a bit odd. SignatureMichelle Levin http://www.mindspring.com/~lunachick I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws. Perhaps she could "channel" Dr. Atkins for a consultation. <g> > Yeah, I've told her that, she says she's different because she is more in > tune with her body and its needs than the average person.

Then get her to look into the future....she'll see you all fab (and getting dates) because you lost the weight and there she'll be fatter than ever because of that 1000 kcal per day pill-diet her doc gave her. >Yeah, I've told her that, she says she's different because she is more in >tune with her body and its needs than the average person.

She was all "SOMETHING is wrong with my body, I can sense it." And then when that turned out not to be the case, she started thinking it was bad karma from how she'd treated some people in her past. So she's resigned to doing the diet her doctor said, even though it's very strict, because she thinks the deprivation will help her atone.

The doctor's answer should be "ya do now" :-) Or else charge for a consultation..... It won't work -- even if she sticks with it, she'll never keep it off when she goes back to her old ways. (Hopefully not but the writing is on the wall). Wish her luck... BJ Tell her that listening to her body is what made her overweight in the first place..She should therefore listen to something else, i.e. you. |
