Having an overweight doctor may not be the healthiest option for you after all. The U.S. News reported that overweight doctors will most likely avoid talking to you about weight issues you may have. Apparently the "fit" doctors will talk more about your weight issues, although not as openly as you might think. You would think that your doctor would be the one you could count on, right? Not in this case, as the study shows. Obesity is becoming more a problem for people every single day, many have died from it and it is considered a disease. Although it may lower your your self-esteem, isn't it more important to lower your weight?

Good story idea, but gear it a bit more toward doctors. (i.e. "Now it's even more important for health care professionals/doctors to practise what they preach.." Also, don't be afraid to break it up into paragraphs!
