Your doctor can tell you the benefits of exercising and eating right. Or she'll explain the problems you can run into if you don't. Or she can appeal to your vanity and encourage every little step forward. This doctor has probably tried all that to no avail.

This comic is from Zach Weinersmith at Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.
