TopicI was feeling really awful after eating for a while, so I lowered my portions

Another thing: cooking for myself has made me realize how expensive being fat is.

I got baked the other day and almost ate through an entire value pack of chicken thighs

when that same value pack could have lasted me 4 whole meals, I almost downed it all in one

Luckily I exhibited an immense amount of self control (because nobody fat shamed me because I live alone) and put the rest of what I cooked away for another time (even if it ruined the delicious crispy texture of the chicken thigh skin)

Don't overeat guys
It's bad for you, the environment, your wallet, and your neighbors eyes

This started a couple years back
I was just eating as usual every meal, but for some reason I felt uncomfy and bloated as fuck all the time
I wasn't sure why - I thought it was indigestion

One day I just decided to try eating less and see if that would help
It took a few tries to get to the right amount

Turns out I was eating way past the point of fullness
Like, a lot past the point of fullness
And part of it was because I would eat fast - I love to eat (it shows) and I love food and I love cooking, so you know how that goes
and it turns out your stomach takes time to let you know that you are full - that's why it's important to have socialization time at dinner too! You naturally slow your eating down when you eat with others - its also traditionally just good manners to pace yourself with others anyway

But man, it made a world of difference in how I felt throughout the day. Like, even if I ate post-midnight, I'd still wake up feeling not-bloated. It was great.
I went from being able to hog down on like 6 pieces of popeyes chicken, a whole large cajun rice, and most of a large fries

to eating a 3 piece meal, 1/4 of cajun rice, and still most of a large fries >_>
yeah im not losing weight very quickly

and we keep talking about these healthy fat people like they're super common or something

Studies have found that anywhere from one-third to three-quarters of people classified as obese are metabolically healthy. They show no signs of elevated blood pressure, insulin resistance or high cholesterol.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolically_healthy_obesity

Some research suggests that metabolically healthy obese individuals are at an increased risk of several adverse outcomes, including type 2 diabetes,[11] depressive symptoms,[12] and cardiovascular events.[13][14] Other research also suggests that although MHO individuals display a favorable metabolic profile, this does not necessarily translate into a decrease in mortality.[15] Research to date has produced conflicting results with respect to cardiovascular disease and mortality.[16] MHO individuals are at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease compared to metabolically healthy non-obese individuals, but they are also at a lower risk thereof than individuals who are both unhealthy and obese.[17][18] A 2016 meta-analysis found that MHO individuals were not at an increased risk of all-cause mortality (but were at an increased risk of cardiovascular events).[19] The relatively low risk of cardiovascular disease among people with MHO relative to metabolically unhealthy obese people has been attributed to differences in white adipose tissue function between the two groups.

I'm not really seeing your point here. There's a documented bias that fat people are judged differently when showing the exact same symptom. Studies also show that fat people generally have shorter appointments and doctors show less emotional rapport. Like, there are clear, documented biases. Are you trying to excuse them or something?

It grosses me out to say it
but I'm literally saying maybe fat people just are noncompliant, overindulgent, and weak-willed

My point is that being fat itself isn't just another problem - it can exacerbate other problems as well.

I'm sure if you looked at people who were told to lose weight by their doctors, and DID, less of their forms would show "noncompliant" "overindulgent" or "weak-willed"
and those people would generally have healthier bodies than those who are fat

and we keep talking about these healthy fat people like they're super common or something
this is why i pointed out that zero of the people who gave anecdotes in the OP article were specified as having healthy bodies with a lot of fat, despite the article taking time to specifically mention that just being fat isn't an indicator of health and sometimes fat people are perfectly healthy

You can be "healthy" in every aspect but it's not a secret that just having a lot of fatty tissue on the body is taxing and renders most of that null

Oh yeah, the article goes on to emphasize that it's not necessarily malicious intent with some anecdotes from doctors and patients, and then talks about unconscious biases. So the point isn't to blame doctors personally, rather to point out that the issue is apparent in health-care as well, and that it's damaging.

if patients are being noncompliant wouldn't that indicate it's a problem with the patients

i know that sounds backward but i think it should be considered

fat and weight are one of those things that's almost entirely a choice to many, many people out there

like i know i don't need this pie

but i won't be thinking of my doctor before I decide to eat it

Well it's one thing that they have to see other patients. Of course there's a big discussion to be had about whether there are enough doctors and if healthcare is properly optimized etc, but there's this:
This phenomenon is not merely anecdotal. Doctors have shorter appointments with fat patients and show less emotional rapport in the minutes they do have. Negative wordsnoncompliant, overindulgent, weak willedpop up in their medical histories with higher frequency. In one study, researchers presented doctors with case histories of patients suffering from migraines. With everything else being equal, the doctors reported that the patients who were also classified as fat had a worse attitude and were less likely to follow their advice. And thats when they see fat patients at all: In 2011, the Sun-Sentinel polled OB-GYNs in South Florida and discovered that 14 percent had barred all new patients weighing more than 200 pounds.

lol i must have skipped over this part (if it's from the OP article)

that's actually pretty shitty but i still want to side on "doctors are humans too" on this. I'm sure you can only keep seeing the same patient coming in with sky-high blood pressure and triglyceride levels out the ass, let them know they have to stop eating unhealthily or they will risk heart disease, and then see them the next month for some other weight-related complication so many times before you get tired of it

"noncompliant" is about as neutral tone you can get for "doesn't follow instructions"
"overindulgent" shouldn't be considered so negative when it's very obviously true
"weak willed" bothers me a little because it kinda shows where the doctor's mind is at (that this patient doesn't REALLY need help, they just need to try harder)

But the issue was also that doctors were found to spend less time on fat patients, no? So they definitely do play a part in the systematic issues. There are some nasty anecdotes about fat people complaining about stomach pains and just getting told to lose weight. Anecdotes of course but yeah

Right, but doctors aren't miracle workers. They have to see other patients, and as far as I can tell they like to move from "most likely" to "least likely" in terms of causes

So if you are a land whale and your stomach hurts, I wonder where the logical assumption would be
If that person actually lost weight or just started eating better and their stomachache wasn't going away, then you'd know there's a problem.

Edit: There's no argument against the idea that all doctors obviously stand to gain from new perspectives of thinking, especially if it means their patients will actually start listening to them. The problem is... would that actually work? Or would it just lead to more people being obese because they think they will literally be "healthy at every size"

So you actually don't have anything to say about the article then

i think she's saying it's bullshit to pin it on doctors

i think it's a fair point - doctors are not automatically fitness experts, they can't always develop a diet or exercise regimen to help you lose weight. at the same time we should stop relying on them to be fitness experts.

Even then, a fitness expert cannot come and find every fat person willing to work out and stick to a regimen. A doctor can't force someone to eat healthier.
But other people can help reinforce the idea that eating RIGHT (over eating LESS) is important, and institutions like school and our workplaces can implement more fitness routines to keep people healthy

Look at Japan
They have policies in place to encourage offices to keep their workers in better shape
and it's an economically sound move too
