Ok i hate the fact that people (health care providers especially) think that all over weight people know zero about fitness and nutrition! Everyone doesnt just sit up and eat Cookies all day! Dont get me wrong i eat my fair amont of cookies lol but i hate that! If you have struggled with weight your WHOLE LIFE you are basically forced to learn about it. (atleast i was) ive gone to the gym with ppl 1/2 my size and could out lift them and have twice tge endurance.

I have always been a skinny person in a fat suit.... i was always fitter than my skinny friends, i was healthy and my bloods were always perfect.

The only issue i developed was insulin resistance, even then it was on the lowest end, one point above normal.

I could always out run the skinny people, i can walk around for hours at a time and my friends would get tired, i thankfully never had any health issues.

However when i regained my weight, i started getting little niggly pains in my knees, i was getting more tired etc... but even at that stage, i was fitter than my skinny friends...

I had a doctor tell me once that my blood and tests show a really healthy person in a not so healthy looking body (this was when i was obese)

But since gaining i can tell the difference to my body, physically, mentally and emotionally.. now that i am losing, everything is starting to improve.

I hate sterotypes, i don't and never met any of them.

I remember when i started regaining because of my screwed up metabolism... i haf told one idiot doctor... doc, i am basically living on steamed chicken and veg, working out 5 days, watching my portions yet still gaining.... his response...

"stop lying to me and yourself.. you are sitting at home eating big macs!" I couldn't believe it! .. it was not true... now i have learned to take their subjective opinions not so personally

I cant believe your Doctor would say that! How rude (to say the least) I would have found a new Doc.

Yeah he was an idiot... he was just a normal GP, not my surgeon or anything like that... i never saw that idiot again lol

I think the worst thing about fat people and doctors is they blame everything wrong with you on being overweight.

Like you can go with the flu and they will tell you if only you weren't morbidly obese you wouldn't have the flu, you would just a cold.

Hopefully I never have to put up with that kind of drama again.

I had one doctor whose favorite thing to do was go on and on about my weight. No matter WHAT was wrong with me he'd look me up and down and say, "you REALLY need to lose some weight".

That's great, but I think I have strep throat.. can we move on now?????
