Wanting to know how others conquored their fear...

Yup, anonymouse again. :) Over my years of being obese and getting more-so, I've avoided doctors because it always seemed a waste of time. I also always avoided speaking of any weaknesses that I had and tried every way possible to hide or play down any problems my weight gave me. Now, to get my case back before the review board for my insurance, I have to tote out all the physical issues to a new doctor. I am so afraid. The last time I tried to do this I ended up crying in the doctors office and so emotionaly wrought up that I was unable to speak. Did anyone else do this? Hide and pretend? If so, how did you find the courage to trot the issues into the light? Any help or words of wisdom would be muchly appreciated :) Thank you!
