I say that all the time. People look at an obese person and thinks “that’s disgusting you should be ashamed” and the same person will look at an anorexic peeson and think “oh poor girl hope she can recover from her eating disorder”
They are both eating disorders!
Let’s try to go pass our biases and see obesity for what it is, a eating disorder, not with disgust or shame.
Edit: I would just like to point out to the dumbdumbs that I am overweight and was obese for a while. I am a witness of how bad people will treat you without even knowing your background or problems that took you there. Not everyone is a suitable candidate for bariatric or ozempic, there are lots of different reasons and only a very small portion is caused by lazyness as toxic people like to call it.
I am and will always be an avid defender of humans treating humans like humans and not “lazy fucks”.
Apparently overeating/obesity has been categorized as a chronic disease since 2013. I was just talking to a weight management doctor who was explaining that there’s actually hormonal responses that differ person to person that play a huge role.
That’s what happened to me. I’m overweight myself and my doctor is a wheight expert too and In my case I was able to change my life with depression treatment but also with some hormonal replacement.
What was surreal to me is the doctor is telling me this and I couldn’t wrap my brain around it. I wanted to argue. I’ve heard “diet and exercise” for so long it was like a conditioned response kicking on.

You’re telling on yourself here.
At least he knows what his biases are
What am I telling exactly?!
