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 don't work out and I eat like shit.

Been 55kg for years.

I'm also like, 22.

But I do walk like a few km everyday.

That's what's doing it tbh. I burn significantly more calories just by walking around at work, than I do lifting weights (not in terms of like cal/min or whatever, but in terms of overall volume of activity & calories burned).
