Well she supports me losing weight and getting fit, but she doesn't support my longevity diet! I gave her some evidence, but she countered them and didn't believe it. She said what I was doing was the opposite of a longevity diet and that this is really about control. She said she would be disappointed if I didn't put my energy towards finding a job and my career.
She did congratulate me on finally meeting requirements for my degree though.
I think I need to dig up some journal articles and highlight some key points about calorie restriction and bring them to my pdoc. She doesn't believe in the longevity diet! I need some hard facts to show her.
She wants to weigh me next time. She said I was setting myself up for a binge eating disorder. I told her that this was a lifestyle change, but she said my body would rebel. She said I can't survive on 1000 kcal/day long term.
I understand that and if I get below 90 pounds I will eat more! My goal is 90 pounds and I promise myself I would not go below that.
She doesn't seem to think I can focus on my career and do calorie restriction at the same time. I will prove her wrong. I will focus on my career. I can do both.
