    I get the point but…

    When you’re a woman and well over 100kgs, don’t complain about your doctor telling you that you need to lose weight.

    It’s not sexism

    It’s not discrimination based upon your weight

    Nobody is telling you that you’re ugly

    It’s not a macho thing where only skinny women are desirable

    It’s about your life, how long it will last and how much you’ll be able to enjoy it. It’s about your own health, please listen to your doctor and try to lose weight.

      That’s not what OP is criticizing, heavy women come to the doctor with genuine health issues (which may be exacerbated by weight), and instead of addressing the actual problem, the doctor just tells the pt it’s caused by weight.
