Procrastinator

Have I mentioned that I am a procrastinator?

We are leaving tomorrow to go camping. I have packed absolutely nothing. I also have six or seven more patients to access, about 10 weight variances to look into and probably amount a hundred other things that I am forgetting. So what am I doing?

Watching the 900 Pound Man on TLC. My sympathy here is limited. This guy hasn't left his house in 7 years. He obviously isn't the one stocking the house with Coke and Doritos. Buy him apples. And lettuce. Maybe a piece of meat that isn't coated in batter and deep fried. He definatley got himself into this situation, but she is keeping him there.

Don't even get me started on his wife. He was 700 pounds and unable to stand when they got married. She is a "born again virgin" for the past six years. What the hell does that even mean? She keeps giggling and telling anyone who will listen how hard it is to not give him the food he wants. Then she cries and begs the doctors, "My husband needs help." So help him! It's called tough love babycakes, try it on.

None of this is getting me any closer to the bottom of my to do list. But I am a dietitian. Perhaps this can count as research?

P.S. Can I point out that this man wears no clothing what-so-ever?
