Bet with my Ob gyn
Today I had a doctor’s appointment with my ob gyn, just a routine visit. While I was in a compromising position (with my legs needing a good wax!), he looked me directly in the eye and asked: so how is the weight going?
Well, I said, probably slowly creeping up, if the truth must be known.
I have been trying to avoid this truth all year, but especially since the summer approached.
He made me get on the scale. (Ugh)
4 pound increase from the last visit. Not terrible. I thought.
Ob/gyn: This seems to have been a trend of yours for a while now that you should think about reversing.
Apparently 90 percent of his patients have gained weight in these stressful economic times, a little hypothesis he’s working on. He assured me that I wasn’t alone…
Yes! I looked him directly in the eye.
Ob gyn: OK, yes, I too have been struggling but I did work out this morning. It is not an easy thing.
Patient: Maybe we just need more incentive.
Ob gyn: What would you suggest?
Patient: How about a bet?
So I bet my ob gyn that he couldn’t lose 5 pounds in 6 months. He’s a man. Reverse psychology!
On the way home I thought about the bet idea and now have 2 girlfriends that will give me $100 bucks each if I lose 20 pound in 6 months. Of course I have to give them $100 bucks too if they lose it…but hey…whatever works!
