Carrying extra weight does come with heath concerns, yes. But when -- as a friend of mine actually had happen -- you have been overweight most of your life and suddenly develop acute shortness of breath, and you go to the doctor and say, "all of a sudden I'm having periods where I can't breathe and have to sit down before I black out" and he comes back with "lose weight; obviously you're out of shape".... yeah. Not. Helpful. This happens a lot. I have dealt with some doctors who could look at a patient with a broken arm and tell them to lose weight. *eyeroll*

(she did find a doctor that listened and treated her, and that was through FA-friendly listings)

God, this. When I was thirteen I told my doctor that my period had never been regular and I felt like I was having PMS symptoms almost all the time. She just told me it was my weight and to eat more vegetables.

Ten years later I move and get a difference doctor and we come to find out I have PCOS. We get my hormones figured out and all that stuff starts to get better- including my weight. I mean, it's still hard to lose weight and it'll probably take years to get to my goal, but at least now diet and exercise actually DO something.
