RE: My Life in a Fat Suit - Why do We Accept Size Discrimination?

in #womenspeakout6 years ago

Thank you for sharing your incredible story. You are a warrior! It is so sad you had to go through this. Unfortunately the society we live in has become so mean and ignorant that sometimes I think some people should look in the dictionary for words like "kindness", "compassion", "empathy" or even "caring".
As for the doctors, I can only say that the level of ignorance is outrageous. Not to mention that they are trained to treat the symptoms and not the cause of the problem.
I experienced all this first hand. Before getting my Lyme diagnosis I have been seen by 26 different specialists. None of them was able to tell me exactly why I was feeling sick and experiencing so many symptoms. Each one of them gave me a different diagnose and a treatment. Some told me it's all in my head.
When I lost sixty pounds within less than half an year, everyone pointed fingers at me saying I should stop losing weight (which was never my intention!) or that I was having an eating disorder. No one ever thought it could be due to Lyme, as no one suspected me having it.
Your post inspired me to write about my story. I will do it within a few days.

Thank you. Looking forward to reading your story. I hope you have treatment now and are on your way to healthy.
