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.

220 here. I used to be 150lbs damp until about 27, and I used to consume at least 1.5 liters of cola a night. I once got a double pack of 2 liter bottles of Cola for christmas, that's how much I would drink it. I was always 150ish while eating like shit.

Now I hover around 220. I haven't been able to "workout" regularly since we had kids. When I was I never lost weight because I was gaining muscle.

Your doctor is a quack.
