There Is No Solution

And also, there is no solution.

I started writing about this.

This is all coming from my journal, really.

I started writing about this because I was on a podcast as a guest and I was asked once again, and as is often the case, what would you tell a fat person who's struggling to access healthcare? What would you tell them? And I was like, hmm, it's tricky.

I don't really know what you're trying, like what is the actual question you're asking me here? And there's two things.

The first thing is I want fat people to know that none of this shit is their fault.

It's really not your fault.

Everything that's happened to you and is happening to you, not your fault.

They want you to believe it's your fault.

They're telling you it's your fault.

Like literally you are being gaslit on a daily basis.

It's all your fault.

Your joints hurt because you're fat.

You're tired because you're fat and lazy and don't exercise enough.

You're fat because you don't try hard enough.

They are constantly telling you this shit and none of it is true.

So that's the first thing I want fat people to know.

And the second thing I want fat people to know is I don't have the answer.

I can't fix this shit for you.

I can't.

And let me tell you for why.

And this is what I try to explain on the podcast.

I'm not sure.

I did a very good job of it, but I'm gonna try again.

Um, We all know that everything that I hopefully, hopefully by now, you know that everything you've been told about weight loss is a lie.
