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.

yeah, quitting booze was absolutely a necessity for me to quit smoking. Once I had a drink in me there was no stopping me from using tobacco. But I actually quit drinking because I just realized how it had taken over my life and was causing me so many problems I would never have if I just didn't drink. Best decision in a hungover haze I ever made.
