I'm establishing with a new doctor. During our first visit he intimidated he'd like to discuss my weight.
Me: Yes, it is still on the heavy side, but I've lost over 50lbs in the last 12 months.
Doctor (looking up a bit worried, asking with concern): Was this rapid weight loss intentional?
Me (I couldn't help but chuckle): Yes! Very intentional! In fact, some days I wish I was more intentional about it. (I tell him what I've been doing, i.e. WOE, exercise, etc.)
Doctor: Well that's great! Keep it up.
I found the interaction highly amusing. I am by no means on the verge of being underweight. I've got 20 more pounds to lose before I'm out of the BMI obese category. And this may possibly be the first time ever anyone has shown concern with my "rapid" weight loss. 🤣😆🤣😆

I hear that, Shrewdness! I've always disliked going to the doctor because regardless of the purpose of my appointment, it inevitably turned to my weight... rightly so... but something that would put me off going to the doctor.
Change is hard! Especially having to reestablish with a new physician and go over all the history all over again.
I hope yours goes well. 💚

He may have been concerned because if it wasn't intentional, then it could be a sign of a disorder, like diabetes and cancer.

Good on your doctor for having the discussion. There are a lot of unhealthy reasons someone could be losing weight, and a lot of doctors will make assumptions without checking. When I was losing weight last year (only 20 pounds, but still), I was sure to tell my doctor it was on purpose and what I was doing to achieve it. But wow, it must have been great to tell him why it was happening! 😁
