The 53-year-old female went to her doctor, that doesn't beat around the bush.

The two words that kept popping up to explain her ailments were obesity and alcohol.

"The doc hammered that in my head, and she's right. I need to do what I need to do to address both of them before going further," she said.

So I got back on my food logging and avoided the bar. It's been over a year of you telling me this every month, but I think I need repetition before I can really act.

"Please make it be known to other clients that this takes time. I'm a testament to that. Over a year in and still just getting going on changing my behaviors," she concluded.

I'm glad she and her doc don't run from the word obesity. Yesterday, I got a message from a therapist who said they are teaching young clinicians that obesity is slander now.
