Re: Non-fandom secrets/unpopular opinions

There is a legit problem with doctors attributing all medical problems to fat, tho. Believe me, I've had joint problems from before I was fat and they've been consistently ignored.

ayrt

That's a valid concern and I hope that you do find a doctor who is willing to listen to you. I think any good doctor will make weight loss a priority in treating joint problems because it can definitely exacerbate existing conditions, but I hope that you find answers about the underlying cause. I know from my own experience how frustrating it is to live with undiagnosed health issues. Sometimes doctors suck.

In this case I'm overweight because I can't do as much because I'm in pain and instead of the pain being treated, I'm instead told to lose weight and that's... Not helpful at all.

Even if there are valid medicals reasons to lose weight, that's still not a reason to shame patients over their weight

and yet

This. I don’t believe that it’s possible to be healthy no matter what size you are, but I think doctors attributing fat people’s health problems to their fatness causes way more issues than the HAES movement. I’m obese, and I can just ignore the occasional HAES activist telling me that my obesity is NBD.

But my (also fat) doctor starting and ending every checkup and conversation with “lose weight,” and refusing to consider other causes/treatments, means that I’ve avoided going to the doctor even when I really needed to. I need tests and medicine where appropriate, if I want weight-shaming I can walk down the street in a crop top.
