Do I ask new clients about their weight?

[@mariamkamal]

I was filling a questionnaire by a treatment center and the first point was about "tell us about your weight" I discovered why most of them literally fail patients.

You are so witty and funny but soooo kind, I don't know why I have only now started watching your videos. ALSO SUCH HELPFUL CONTENT FOR MY RECOVERY THANK YOU TABITHA!! You are awesome

[@sarahhelenesarmast]

I've often been refused/rejected certain treatments and rehab places because they say my bmi is too low for me to benefit the program they have. But how am I supposed to get better without any treatment?

[@jotan17]

Ditto ❤

[@Roos8891]

That’s exactly what I was told! It’s so frustrating as you need the support to get anywhere in the first place!

[@jotan17]

I live just northeast of you in Windsor! I agree, today was a beautiful day :). And I agree your weight shouldn’t determine how you are treated by doctors, therapists, nutritionist or anyone. Unfortunately, my brain does annoy the shit out of me (love the way you put that).

Feel you with the weather. In my case it was moving from the countryside in a bigger city because I want more people now there to much noise and to many people. We always want what we not have 😂

[@MabelRD08]

Watching this while having lunch at work...So hard with the noise and people near me🥺😩💔 I've been losing more and I agreed with the treatment team that I'd not keep loosing but it's harder than I thought. Thanks for your support and realness Tabs 🌺💕❤️🌟🌹😘🇩🇴

Love this message Tabitha❣️ I feel very misunderstood being BMI defined overweight/obese but starving and dieting and restricting. For years I was at a BMI defined “normal” weight only because I was severely restricting and my psychologist just thought oh I should just simply stop dieting and he too doesn’t keep chocolates and snacks at home (totally missing the point) And when I just couldn’t keep restricting anymore and my restrictions weren’t able to negate the binges…my psychologist referred to it as “I let myself go” ⁉️ and literally referred me to check out a Adiposis Center to inform myself about what can be done for the weight gain. I told him that I’m the same woman sitting in his chair at a weight of 60kg and now at 95kg. And would he have referred the 60kg woman to get a consultation on gastric surgery⁉️⁉️ I call this emotional abuse.

[@Roos8891]

That is interesting and I am glad you do not judge treatment based on weight. I was told recently by a psychologist that no therapist would work with me based on BMI and they only work with patients over a certain BMI which really frustrated me because you need the support to reach that level in the first place! This was an NHS psychologist though so maybe private would think differently…

[@yhwick4d]

[@cristinabock1310]

Should I prioritise eating lots of protein and healthy carbohydrates and fats to make sure my body feels full? I feel like I’m only wanting to eat biscuits and chocolate and it never fills me up

[@kathleenfornaciari1182]

fatty meat will fill you up, try a ribeye steak

Because you are malnourished. Eat what you crave and start to eat regularly and in abundance. Eat even every two hours if you are still hungry and eat processed food if you have problems with digestion.
