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.

He looks like he’s about 200 lbs with a bit of pudge on his belly and was talking about “people like you and I”. Like I’m not a professional but it sounds like you have body dysmorphia if you think we’re similar in our struggles, dude.

Edit: I wanna clarify that I understand smaller people can also struggle with their weight and their health and their body’s worth. I just remember being that size and it’s night and day in terms of relatable challenges.
