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.

Yo FUCK that doctor dogg. I'm skinny as fuck and deadass past the "youth boosted" metabolism excuse I was hearing in my teens, twenties, early thirties, etc. Still waiting, still can't put on weight. I mean I can, if I really really REALLY try, I can put on some weight.

But yeah, it's bullshit, I'm not like this from hard work, good eating or, generally, ever making a conscious, or intelligent decision, in my life. In fact I will probably die prematurely from preventable disease, while still "but she looked so in shape and youthful."

Horse shit. Hope you can find a smarter doctor one day, that one sounds straight up ignorant as in failed to learn a damn thing before opening their mouth on the subject. Not just ignorant as in lazy bigot. Not a good look, "DOCTOR".

If you want to put on weight maybe the thing to do is hit the gym if you can or do some at-home bodyweight exercise a few times a week and snack between meals. I was similar till I started doing these things and I've put on like 20lbs.
