348. Why You Shouldn't DIY Your Weight Loss Plan

If you give a mom her lab results, she's going to jump on Google. When she's on Google, she's going to decide that she has a life-altering disease that is causing her weight gain. After all that Googling, she's going to find her husband for a shoulder to cry on. He'll suggest grabbing a diet book, so she hops on Amazon to purchase the latest fad-that-isn't-a-fad diet book. While online, she's going to see that the return window has passed for the outfit that she ordered for Christmas that was 2 sizes too small. Fed up, she'll head out the door to GoodWill to donate all of the clothes that don't fit her. After she exits the highway, however, she'll drive right passed Chick-Fil-A, where she'll mindlessly turn in and grab her "healthy" comfort food. As she grabs her fries, she notices the time and sprints off to pick the kids up from practice. She'll roll straight into the madness that is her daily evening routine, so she'll push the weight loss planning (and the workout btw) until tomorrow. Before going to bed she checks her email one last time and sees the notification about her lab results from her patients portal and starts spiraling all over…. The moral of this give-a-mouse-a-cookie story? Don't rely on lab "results" alone to be your weight loss fix. It can't be your only plan, because, let's be honest, the doctor's office isn't typically going to have a ton of follow-up and support for you.
