Wait... I know you shouldn't ask women this question, but...







What's your T-shirt size?

depends on the brand. usually between an xl and a 4xl.

Wow. And can I just say, "Forget the cheerleader! She doesn't eat enough!"

they would also tell me to loose weight and my knee pain would go away
i lost weight and guess what I still have knee pain :^)))))))))))))))

yeah ive had this since i was a 90 pound twig lol

UGH this happens to my mate all the time. All of her health issues are due to weight and I have to step over them and press them to get shit done, it is part of the reason I always go into the rooms with her to help keep her from being stepped on.

im so tired of it. i wish they'd step on me physically instead of emotionally. would feel nice on my back.
-_-

I just realize we barely see your stomach in these comics

as in you mostly draw yourself from the diaphragm, up

i always draw myself much thinner. like.... a ton lol

Yeah doctors would not operate on me because i was like 50 Lbs over weight because "Overweight people don't heal well" Yet every time I have had a severe injury I heal much faster then average people. Doctors seem to have a huge bias when treating us overweight folks.

>_<

I've heard that so many times. Everyone blames my problems on my weight too, even those not caused by it. I have a herniated and semi-deteriorating L4 (a cartilage disk in my lower spine) that came from my dad forcing me to help him move a washer despite us being the only two at home. My back spasmed real bad and it was incredibly painful. He got mad at me cause I almost dropped the washer. Fast Forward to when I was working a job at a fast-food restaurant and had to help mop the floors. I had shoveled snow and it would cause my back to hurt, and also helped my dad with moving debris out of houses, but when it would start hurting I would just stop. Couldn't do that at the job, so I got a chiropractic adjustment (which you are NOT supposed to do with a herniated disk) and it made it five times worse. It wasn't until I got an MRI that a back doctor recommended that I found out about the disk. He said no heavy lifting (Didn't specify weight) and he said no repetitive twisting or bending. Fast forward to the present, and everyone tells me my back wouldn't hurt if I lost weight...

skinny people apparently live pain-free lives!

Apparently. I have tried really hard to lose weight, but with my back problem it makes it harder, plus I'm sorta kinda really lazy

Trust me, we don't. As a matter of perspective, I'd say it's worse because we don't have as much fat cushioning blows before they hit bone.

yeah, I remember that. I used to be a rail as a kid. The injury that actually made me discover my back issue in the first place was when I epically failed a high jump in gym (I was a runner. I didn't do vertical.) and I caught the bar across my back. Due to my non-existant BMI (people thought my parents starved me), the biggest, darkest, most impressive bruise ever bloomed there!

I'm surprised they didn't pull you permanently after that...or did they? Now I'm starting to get worried I'll end up all day as well, thanks to everyone's testimonies. XD

nobody called CPS on my folks, but I did get asked a lot of invasive questions by random adults as a kid. They didn't seem to understand how a child who literally inhaled a large pizza to herself in under an hour could be SO SKINNY. I ate like a HORSE! it just didn't show until I hit around 18, at which point my metabolism abandoned me and my body exploded.

Its larger people in general.. i know the feeling.. they just immediately go "hey have you considered losing weight.. thatll fix your everything.. it worked for me.. i totally lost 2 kilos and it cured me"

we are the unouchables.

Feh - Doctors. I'm in more pain now than I was when I was overweight.

doctors that immediately go to the weight thing are horseshit.

They didn't go to class in med school. (Yes, I'm the son of a physiology professor.)

lol

Aww ;_;.
