Obesity Frustrations
What are some things that frustrate you most about living with obesity?
Being compared to the world’s view of beauty. I remember a doctor telling me you have a pretty face, but you’re way too big.
What a horrible thing to say. I hope you've since found a new doctor. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
That obesity is not considered by the public as a disability!
Everything! There are NO positives to living with obesity. I wasn't living, I barely was existing!
For me, it’s the constant judgement and assumptions from other people. It can also be frustrating when weight becomes the focus of every health conversation instead of looking at the whole person.
For sure! Well said. - Lori (Team Member)
