I may have spina bifida, in a wheelchair, but I don’t care about losing weight

If you weigh over 300 lb immediately internal medicine doctors freak out, if the blood pressure is slightly high when I mean slightly high, internal medicine doctors (at least some) say to change your diet.

I once met a doctor who told me it’s not what you eat it’s how much that counts.

There are a lot of issues with being obese or fat. There are health problems that come with being fat.

I have an unpopular opinion about being skinny. That opinion is that I have no desire to be skinny.

Doctors will tell you about obesity and what could happen. They don’t say it’s going to happen, they just say what could happen.

I got a news flash for all those doctors. I don’t want to be skinny. It’s just not on my priority list.

I’m not trying to put up as much weight as I can, at the same time, could care less about being skinny.

In actuality, my ideal weight would be around 300 lb and not exceed 300.

There are serious issues with being obese when you are wheelchair-bound because the heavier you are the more restricted you are in getting the wheelchair you want because each wheelchair has a weight limit.

I actually wouldn’t mind being 295 I wouldn’t want to be 500 lb now that’s ridiculous even though I understand that.

Some diets out there’ll say you can eat what you want okay well guess what breaking news that’s what I’m going to do.

I’m not saying forget what the doctor says I’m saying use your instincts listen to your body and go by how you feel that’s what I do.

Most days I eat one meal a day and have one to two pops a day but I drink bottled water every day as well. I drink two to three bottles a day or just drink smart water.

At the end of the day drink a few bottled waters a day eat a little and don’t go over 360 lb.

I’m not a doctor nor have I ever played one on TV I’m just giving advice that I think works for me because at the end of the day doctors don’t have all the answers and when they do say something they say something to contradict what they said before not all the time but it happens

I understand that I have a disability and that I can’t walk but I’m not going to do something that a person who has never been in a wheelchair before tells me how I should eat especially when he says the word could in a sentence that means could happen not happen.

I will say it’s a person’s right if they want to work with their doctor or not about their health it’s all up to the individual.
