Well..to play Devil's Advocate...they DO weigh us every time we go to a dr's office..no matter WHAT we go in for..and if the insurance comapany wanted to PUSH it, they could take those weights and say "hey-you weighed XXX lbs then and were OBESE"....but those SAME weigh ins were MY saving grace when building my "history" of FAILED weight loss attempts, when I had to show how I had stayed ft over the years...

So...shoot...who knows????...lol....it all depends on what insurnace underwriter is reviewing your file that day and if he/she has had coffee/got lucky/etc/etc

I absolutely agree, I make a gratitude list everyday and add to it the success that I had that day, as well.  It reminds me that I am on the road to a healthier me.  Six weeks ago, I broke my foot and had to have surgery; and spend 6 weeks on crutches.  Trust me, I wasn't grateful when I left the hospital, but God has showed me the little things like - my weight loss made it easier to get around,, the crutches built up my arms, I am able to do the things in physical therapy that they ask me to do, and gave me patience and compassion for others.  If this had been prior to surgery, I can't imagine what this journey would have been like.  Today, no crutches, I am walking, and get to get back on the bike; in addition to my physical therapy.   Yippee Skippee!

Thank you for reminding me to continue to be of serve to others and to be an encouragement for our fellow members.

It kinda just hit me...can obesity be considerd a pre-existing condition?  Even if you were never trested for anything related to the obesity?  I do have a clause against pre-existing and this questioned arised while I was reading another post.

Anyone know??
