I WILL NOT DOWNLOAD I THINK WEIGHT IS IMPORTANT  

Depends on context. If she’s facing a health crisis, that may be coming into play. 

I view weight the same as height, age, etc. It is just data. It does not define me.  

I second that Erg! 

If I had let doctors weigh me, I would have been a healthy weight a long time ago. Weight/height ratio is an important number even if it is not perfect and not the only important thing. 

I agree with you Mariel.  

I just saw a report about this on tv! The summary is a lot of people can be spared from mental anguish if they are asked to weigh rather than bring told to weigh. 

I will be as blunt as necessary, people that are so fragile they can't know their own weight have serious mental health issues they need to address. It's ridiculous that people expect to be coddled and told they are perfectly healthy when they are morbidly obese, HAES is absolute nonsense 🤡. I wish I would have had people around me years ago pushing me to get healthy instead of patting each other on the back for eating like gluttons. 

someone said a lot of people can be spared the mental anguish, well what better way to avoid ALL of that ‘mental anguish’ that these over sensitive people are experiencing, than to lose all the weight you are so ashamed and mentally distraught about??? because i PROMISE YOU when you reach a point that youre finally happy with your body you WILL BE ON THAT SCALE AAAAALLLLL THE TIME to make sure your hard work is maintained 

🤔 only my GP, anesthesiologists and small plane pilots need to know my weight. Anyone else has to be strong enough to pick me up and put me on a scale. Not because I'm emotionally fragile but because it's none of their business! Ditto for my IQ, age & bra size & 100 other things. I've always operated on a "need to know" basis...and I don't like to brag😄 

Hehe, I’ve been ballast, too. On the small planes you don’t screw around. One of the reasons BF decided I was a keeper. I didn’t lie. 🤣 

Hi 2melons, you got the point that was made from a doctor I watched on tv! The doctor encouraged other medical professionals to ask patients if they want to be weighed for appointments that really don't require a weight check. I understand the point even though it does not bother me personally.
