I had a bad experience with a doctor as well. I was 17 when i was diagnosed with insulin resistance and it seemed that my doctor felt it was my fault i was so heavy. she told me that I had one month to show improvement or she wouldnt write me any more prescriptions for my metformin ( a pill i take that helps with weight loss and insulin levels) i felt pressured so i stopped eating. and lost 5 pounds in one week. I eat healthy ive never liked sweets very much and fast food makes me sick. i was big because it runs in my family. the doctor put me on a guilt trip everytime i went it. so i got a new doctor she prescribed me phentermine and a lower dose of my metformin and now i eat 3 meals a day and i dont feel any pressure to lose weight quickly. i have lost 7 pounds and my insulin levels are going to a normal state. So dont feel bad its not your fault its the doctors and i strongly suggest getitng a new one.
