Hi Bozdickens, how are you feeling about this today? I've had doctors say weird things to me before too. It sounds like, she is concerned, and you are not, and sometimes people have a difference of opinion, and it just is that way. I think that if you feel confident about it, and ok, and not worried about your weight, then go with that. I *would* just nod and smile. It's really all you can do after openly disagreeing. I'm wondering, is this bothering you so much because it's coming from a doctor? because you disagree? something else? or all three? Can you let it roll off your back? If not, post back!
