Miracle #6: Five Little Words


I had my annual doctor's appointment last week. Oh the terror of 5 little words: "Please step on the scale." These words strike fear in every woman's heart. We have a love/hate relationship with the scale (mine is mostly hate) and it's usually a very private affair when one is stepping on it. But to have to do it in public! I know it's a doctor's office but come on people! Is it really necessary to have my weight for my check-up? Is it really necessary to make me stand there with all of my clothes and shoes? (which I'm sure add 10 extra pounds!) Is it really necessary to announce it over the intercom (at least that's what it feels like while they are writing it on their clipboard). ANYWAY- I politely asked the nurse if I could not be weighed and he said, "Sure, not a problem!" Sure, not a problem! Attention women everywhere who are afraid to go the doctor because of those 5 little words- ask and a miracle could happen!
