Nicole Arbour argues fat people deserve to be shamed in YouTube rant; offends everyone

34. There are millions of people who are mistreated or undiagnosed with thyroid problems. Mostly women.

They are fat, tired, exhausted, grumpy and mad because their doctors don't listen. Doc just says "You're depressed" and writes them a scrip for an SSRI (antidepressant) when what they really need is thyroid hormone.

That should get people started.

When I was a kid I got shamed and yelled at at the dinner table for not eating their crappy food. All the time I heard "You are gonna starve to death! You don't eat enough to keep a bird alive!" I refused to eat the big helpings they tried to make me eat. I listened to my body. They were determined to make sure I had an eating disorder and ignored my body signals. I still have a healthy relationship with food. I eat till I am full and then I stop. It's pretty simple. Still one of my hot buttons. I am a super taster and have several food allergies.

Was I fat then? No. I'm fat now. And I still eat very little. I went to a weight loss doctor and was put on a very low calorie diet. I did not lose much weight because your body goes into starvation mode when you restrict calories. And I realized I was starving. So I stopped that diet.
