The Hard Conversation With My Doctor About Weight

My doctor was concerned about my weight gain. They kept asking if I was sure this was what I wanted.

Advocating for my own definition of health

I had to explain that this wasn't an accident. That I was working with a nutritionist. That I felt better than I had in years.

Claiming something important

It was uncomfortable, but I left feeling like I'd claimed something. My body, my goals, my definition of health.
