SageMother, tell me about it!

The workforce market is so competitive where I live, that sign on packages are getting more lucrative.

SageMother, I am not sure really why health companies will penalize you for not following the instructions to the tee for exercising.

It’s not even a fine line in between presribing medication to prescribing exercise. It’s a huge gap.

I really believe that we take our medicine to get better regardless of what the expected outcome is to make us feel better, shouldn’t we treat exercise the same way?

Katharina, I think being prescribed to being more active shouldn’t be considered a “freedom” of choice that is being taken away.

There is a reason why they are doctors and we are not. If your doctor says you should lose the extra weight, it’s just plain stupidity not to go ahead and do it. They are not there to tell you to do that without any justification.

I think we all need to consider that weight problems will affect our lives. If not now, tomorrow. We need to start building a better future for ourselves by taking of our bodies properly.

For those that think otherwise, well, you can always opt out going to the doctor and asking for their opinion.

EviesEarth, that’s why I am so thankful that I live in Canada because we implement a very good social program here that entitles every Canadian to healthcare.

Katharina, I’m not really sure what type of insurance you have there, but my insurance will still pay for it as long as I was insured before any pre-existing complications arise.
