No, see, all of those medical issues they have are coincidental. FA folks love to tell doctors “diagnose my problems without addressing my obesity,” or “what would you recommend for _____if I were a thin person?” That last one is almost verbatim from one of those priggish little cards they want to hand to doctors during evaluations. “My doctor blames every one of my obesity-related mysterious illnesses on my obesity! Meanwhile he would actually try to diagnose a thin person properly!”
(to be fair, there is SOME issue with misdiagnosing a condition as obesity-related when it may be something more serious, but it’s not at all common, and it’s no great travesty to look at a woman of 28 stone and say “you are diabetic now because you are very fat. Your knees hurt because you are carrying a massive amount of weight. Your hormones are fucked up because you have a tonne of extra fat, and fat contributes to overproducing certain hormones. Duh.”)
A lot of these gorls claim that their hypertension, diabetes, aching joints, depression, PCOS, sleep apnea, gastric upset, heartburn, etc etc are INCIDENTAL to their morbid obesity. Thin people get _____ too, yaknow!! Why does the doctor just assume that my type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure is being caused by my morbid obesity?!
These are real arguments that some of them make…that being obese does not create health problems, and all these obesity-related health issues they have are totally coincidental. Some even go so far as to claim that they’re all caused, not by being hundreds of pounds overweight, but by the stress of being subjected to fatphobia.
It’s a whole other level of delusion that I can’t wrap my brain around.
I mean, her upper body isn’t huge.
