I remember when I was pregnant with my first baby, and gaining weight like mad, my doctor advised me to stop eating so much fast food. I NEVER ate it. We were so poor we couldn't have afforded it if we'd wanted to! It never occurred to him that maybe I was eating a pretty healthy diet. When he asked me what I'd eaten that day, he was puzzled. Huh. Apparently fast food is not the only thing that can cause people to put on weight. Who knew? This was in 1989 and it still irritates me :)

Another doctor advised me to see if I could take a walk every day ... I have two dogs who demand long walks. He didn't ask if I was already walking, and I was walking for miles each day. ARGH!
