A body positivity website has created free "Don't Weigh Me" cards for patients who find stepping on the scale at the doctor's office stressful.
The cards, created by California-based More-Love.org, are available for free to individuals, excluding the cost of postage. There is also the option for businesses to purchase the cards, at $35 per 100 cards.
The cards read: "Please don't weigh me unless it's (really) medically necessary," adding "If you really need my weight, please tell me why so that I can give you my informed consent," as shown in photographs on More-Love.org:

Also, you are supposed to be sitting for five minutes to get an accurate reading.
I agree with your take to a certain degree.
I also think they are people who used to be considered worry
warts, only now with a real leftist vent on things.
at least they usually check to make sure my ankles arent crossed
Don’t weigh me, bro.
Sometimes I hate the scale. Sometimes I love the scale.
And like at Stacey Abrams and Jerry Nadler's doctors' offices they need to buy reinforced and structurally sound chairs and flooring. No more "Just have a seat here in the examining room and the doctor will be here shortly" followed by a strained, sinking and then shattered chair and a dazed patient on the floor.
And the words on the little metal rectangle on the scale say "Kansas Galaxy Scale Company Is Not Responsible For Your Livestock Being Injured If Not Properly Secured Before Weighing."
Old Stacey Keech line on Mike Hammer:
“Yeah, I think that happened around the last time Dolly Parton saw her toes.”
The cards read: “Please don’t weigh me unless it’s (really) medically necessary,” adding “If you really need my weight, please tell me why so that I can give you my informed consent,”
“Informed consent” to be weighed? I just tell my doctor my weight. BTW, I’ve lost 80 pounds in the last 18 months.
It’s not weight bias, it’s standard medical care. If one is obese, a smoker, an alcoholic or a drug addict, expect to hear about it if one sees a decent doctor
It’s gotta be a product that’s out there someplace already: a scale that grunts, groans, swears under its breath...
“Ooof!”
“Gahhh!”
“Damn, you”re heavy!”
Needless to say, she was less than thrilled. She told him, "Tomorrow you better come home with a gift for me that goes from 0-200 pretty damn fast."
He bought her a scale.
On the reverse side, an image of Porky Pig….”th-th-that’s all folks!
Did CNN reprint a Bee article?
smh
Funny.
Last I heard, same sorta thing happened to ol’ Boudreaux.
Thibodeaux came ‘round and found him out back in the doghouse, and he told that same story by way of explanation.
Sven: Hey Ole.
Ole: Hey Sven.
Sven: I got a new snowmobile for my wife.
Ole: That’s a good trade if you can get it.
That … is disgusting…
Wow, you must never have had a weight problem. People that never have to worry about their weight look at people who do and make judgements that can be very wrong. My adopted Mom was like that and she had me on a perpetual diet even when I was in grade school. It was demoralizing. Please folks, don’t be mean to overweight people. It really doesn’t help them or you.
Shut up, fatty.
Yep...another person who can sit at their computer and say anything they like because your target can’t see you face to face. You just judged me and called me fatty. So...were you born an a**hole or maybe worked to become one to “fit” into the crowd? And by the way, I am not fat and never was...my adopted Mom was a manic depressive and jealous of the figure I did have that she could only dream of having...especially in high school. She had no boobs...flat as a pancake!
