Anyone else was extremely skinny all their life, but you started gaining weight very recently and now you have to constantly remind yourself that you can no longer lay on bed all day and eat whatever you want whenever you want like usual? Now you actually have to go to the gym like everybody else...
I realized that bmi was massive bullshit when I was like 12 and I went to the doctor and my weight was about the same as the prior year but I got an inch taller and the doctor came in and said "well your BMI went down, which is good", because me being a single inch taller meant I was somehow healthier based on this arbitrary idea. I knew I hadn't gotten any healthier and I hadn't lost weight so it clicked that it means absolutely nothing.
I know it also says a lot about medical fatphobia etc but speaking generally I'm never gonna stop finding it funny when medical professionals are shocked to find out I'm athletic bc I'm getting larger these days so I don't fit their metrics anymore. Previously my funniest moment was a doctor weighing me and then staring in disbelief at me weighing SUBSTANTIALLY more than she expected bc I'm secretly all muscle, but my new fave moment is my doctor touching my stomach twice to feel my abdomen, then stopping abruptly and saying. Well, you're still dancing huh? Secret brick wall under all the fat got her lmao

Obesity is a major health problem affecting millions of people worldwide. This is a condition in which excess body fat builds up in the body, leading to a variety of health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. It can be treated with medical intervention. This blog post will go into detail about different ways to treat obesity.
Diet
One of the most important factors in managing obesity is diet. A healthy and balanced diet is essential for maintaining a healthy weight. It is important to eat a variety of nutrient-dense foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and foods high in saturated and trans fats.
Exercise
Physical activity is also important in managing obesity. Exercise helps burn calories, improve muscle mass, and boost metabolism. It is recommended to aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. This can be achieved through activities such as brisk walking, cycling, swimming, or strength training.
Behavioral changes
Making behavioral changes can also help manage obesity. This includes setting realistic goals, monitoring progress, and staying motivated. It is important to identify triggers for overeating and develop strategies to overcome them. Seeking support from friends and family, joining a support group, or consulting with a healthcare professional can also be helpful.
Medications
In some cases, medications may be prescribed to manage obesity. These medications work by reducing appetite, blocking the absorption of fat, or increasing feelings of fullness. However, medications should always be used in combination with diet and exercise.
Surgery
For those with severe obesity, surgery may be an option. Bariatric surgery is a type of surgery that can help reduce weight and improve overall health. This surgery involves reducing the size of the stomach or bypassing a portion of the small intestine to limit the amount of food that can be consumed.
Summary
obesity is a serious health condition that can be managed with the right lifestyle changes and medical interventions. A healthy diet, regular exercise, behavioral changes, and medical treatments can all help manage obesity and improve overall health. It is important to seek support from healthcare professionals and loved ones to ensure long-term success in managing obesity.
You know, even if we accept that some health issues ARE caused by weight gain and don't simply correlate with it, it would still be really difficult to address any of that because it's next to impossible to find anything regarding these issues that isn't super fat shamey
