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.

i exist.. i was always skinny as fuck as a kid due to being poor and when i got older and got money of my own i started eating like absolute trash and that has pretty well stuck with me for the rest of my life... i'm bigger now than I've ever been at about 190 lbs but i've also never worked out at a gym in my life and the only real exercise i get is walking the dog and going for longer walks with my partner whenever she wants to
