Why I do what I do for a living.

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

A patient in my Chico office started her struggle with weight loss with our clinic 3 months ago with a starting weight of over 400 pounds. We have started to teach her to sneal throughout the day to feed her body.  She had met her first short term goal of 50 pounds of weight loss.  She shared with me something that most of us can never really appreciate.  She said to me, “After losing 50 pounds I don’t have to pick my places to stop in the parking lot to catch my breath anymore.”  Do most of us ever have to think about walking from our car in a parking lot to a building and where to stop and catch our breath?  We totally take that for granted don’t we?

She is changing her life for the better and I get to be there to help.
