Embarrassed about getting weighed at the doctors office?

Well, worry no more!

An online body positivity group have created cards for patients who do not want to be weighed by their doctors unless absolutely necessary.
The 'Don't Weigh Me Cards', created by More-Love.org, ask doctors not to weigh patients every time they come in for an appointment because it 'stresses them out' and it 'perpetuates weight stigma'.
The group was founded in 2016 by Ginny Jones, a US-based life coach who specialises in eating disorder recovery and provides free online resources for parents about weight, food, and mental health.
The cards are available for free for individual use, excluding the cost of post and packaging, or for businesses to purchase for $32 per 100 - with doctors surgeries in the US already providing patients with the cards.
On the back of the cards is a list of reasons why being weighed is not always necessary, including 'Most health conditions can be addressed without knowing my weight', and 'I pursue healthy behaviors regardless of my weight status'.

I would simply refuse to see a patient like this. Find a new doctor.

That just makes me want to weigh them even harder!

If I was a doctor and a patient gave me that, I would ensure they're never allowed to schedule another appointment at my office.

Pro Tip: it's ALWAYS medically necessary (if you're worried about it).

I'd just tell them, "You're right, I don't a scale to tell me you're morbidly obese."

When you focus on my weight I get stressed (and that's not healthy)

hint, if you want a card like this, your arse is too fat and you need to be medically monitored.

How about a "Please don't ask about my vaccination status" card?
