From Fat to...Less Fat

[Crankin]

It shouldn't be spoken even metaphorically.
Especially by the ones who are not so fit themselves. I find this happens less with younger doctors, once I start talking to them about the activities I do.
I've had older ones tell me "just ride 5 miles."
And when the wife of my former pcp joined the practice, sorry, I couldn't listen to anything she said to me, as she was quite overweight and let's just say there were some grooming issues that were making me a little nauseous. I know this is off topic, but maybe there should be a medical specialty that is sports medicine for fit people over 45. This is the only time I have experienced ageism, and it's usually after they see my date of birth, since I don't look as old as I am.
I hope the OP finds that cycling is the perfect way to shed the weight she wants to lose.
