Can you refuse to be weighed at the doctors office?

Being weighed is embarassing and it's worse when you get lectured and made to feel bad afterwards. Part of the reason why I avoid going if I can.

I mean you prob can, but I think that info helps them out man
You aren't obligated to do anything you don't want to do, even if it's routine.

But why would you want to hide such details from your doctor?

These visits are made to make sure your body is working accordingly.

I'm sure they've seen worse cases than just a self-conscious patient.

You're only lying to yourself.

@FutureIdol I understand... I often thought about lying to my therapist. Because I felt too embarrassed to tell anyone my problems.

Keeping that information from my doctor would not have benefitted me.


Sometimes we have to open ourselves up to help.

I don't think they are trying to make you feel "bad"...maybe they are just trying to get you to recognise you have an eating disorder so they can work with you to treat it?

@FutureIdol the problem is..with anorexia-you will listen to the anorexia above everyone else..prioritise it above everything else..Nice talk gets nowhere with someone in the grip of it. Either you listen to them or it will kill you I'm afraid. Take all the help God sends your way. 😘 x

if you do then they can let you sit in their waiting room.

there's a reason why these applications are taken.

Why the fuck go the doctor in the first place if you are too much of a pussy to do half the shit they need?
