I’m 370 lbs and today I had a doctor tell me that people who are skinnier than me are all like that because they work out and eat right. Can I get a roll call for the people who are less than 370 lbs and eat like shit or don’t work out? Because I’m pretty sure you exist.

Also, one time I had a doctor ask me “are you sure?” 4 times after I said I didn’t have any breathing problems. Like nah I’m just big.

Fuck that doctor, I eat like shit and used to be really inactive and have always been on the small side. I have family who eat better and exercise that are much larger, it's definitely more than just eating right. I used to want to be a doctor, for such an 'admirable' profession they really can be massive assholes often.
