I kind of wish all medical providers would listen to Maintenance Phase from the start of the series. Having to do education with medical providers is exhausting. Having them suggest dietary things related to weight after I tell them I've got a history of disordered eating, UGHhhhh. When I can feel the vibe coming off of them that they're antifat and trying not to seem so. UGhgghhghhhh feels so gaslighty.
