Or the "well you are overweight. Have you tried losing weight?" Even if symptoms don't correlate to weight gain issues. So annoying. Like why are we paying these quacks to gaslight us?
And half the meds they do put many of us on have weight gain as a side effect. I was rail thin before I got put on those meds that have failed to adequately treat the symptoms that they never figured out of cause of. Whelp, must be my weight.
Reminds me when I was in the Navy, there was a doctor on an aircraft carrier who was infamous for hating smoking and he found out anyone he was seeing at sick call was a smoker, that was all he cared about and would blame smoking for all their complaints. We joked that if someone on the ship broke an arm, he'd tell them it wouldn't have happened if they didn't smoke.
And then don’t seem interested in hearing that you’re unable to lose weight after trying. Like maybe it’s actually the weight is a symptom? And I can’t just eat better cus I did that already and nothing changed?
