I have to take steroids for lung problems. My doctor had threatned to take me away from my parents because I am over weight. She is the one who prescribes the steroids.
On March 11 I have to go and see her for a check up on my lungs. I haven't lost weight but I haven't gained any. I dread seeing her.
Do you have any tips on losing weight?

the doctor can't get you taken away from your parents over just that. there has to be more reason that you're in danger or aren't being taken care of unless you're very obese and at risk for your life.
