{NAME}, have you ever had a conversation that really stuck with you?
Well, that happened to me earlier this weekâ¦
When a new patient of mine â Iâll call her âCarolâ â came into my office.
I began our visit by asking her the normal question: âWhat brings you in today?â
And to my surprise⦠Carolâs eyes filled up with tears as she answered.
âIâve reached my breaking point, Dr. Lee. Something has to change.â
It turns out, Carol had a pretty tough year. After going through a messy divorce and losing her job, her stress levels were at an all-time highâ¦
And as a result, sheâd had no time for diet and exercise â and had gained quite a bit of weight.
âLast week, I finally worked up the courage to go to the gym⦠and then something terrible happened.â
As Carol sat at one of the exercise bikes, she noticed a teenager across the gym had his cell phone outâ¦
And was actually recording a video of her.
He was even laughing to himself as he did it!
At first, Carol tried to ignore the kid... but after a few minutes, sheâd had enough.
She picked up her things and walked out â and she hasnât been back to the gym since.
âIt was completely humiliating,â she said. âIâd finally worked up the nerve to go to the gym⦠and I was made fun of for it.â
Hearing Carol say these things, I was absolutely heartbroken â and angry.
After all, she was doing everything she could to improve her healthâ¦
The last thing she deserved was to be punished for that!
Whenever I hear stories like this, Iâm reminded of how unfair the world can be for people trying to lose weight.
The discouraging comments from family and friends⦠the judgemental looks from strangers...
These kinds of setbacks can be incredibly demotivating â like taking two steps forward, and one BIG step back.
So with that in mind, I wanted to check in with YOU, {NAME}.
Have you ever felt this way?
If so, Iâd love for you to write in and tell me about it.
Maybe you woke up feeling great one morning⦠until you overheard a coworker comment on your weight.
Maybe you went into a fitting room with a bunch of jeans in your size⦠only for none of them to actually fit.
Or maybe you worked up the nerve to try a new workout class⦠only to feel anxious and embarrassed the whole time.
Whatever it is, feel free to hit âreplyâ and share your experience.
I believe itâs important to talk about these thingsâ¦
Because when you share these struggles with someone else, it almost always makes the journey easier.
And if youâre like Carol, and youâre feeling frustrated by these setbacksâ¦
I want you to know: You are incredible for persevering through so much.
I believe in you, {NAME} â and Iâm here for you every step of the way!
To your present and future health,
Amy Lee, MD
Head of Nutrition
