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 was pretty skinny when I was younger. Got on some psych meds and I’m not slightly overweight. I’ve always haven’t been a big eater. When my dad hangs out with me he says I eat so little and am overweight. He eats a shit ton or food and is super skinny. Other factors other than diet and excercise.
