I Am Curvy, Not Fat

My aunt got after me for not working out, making excuses and being lazy and eating junk food.
Her words hurt me and I can't stop thinking about them.
I am not fat. Curvy is IN.
My doctor got brutally blunt about my weight and said I have a chose either lose the damn weight or get another doctor that will put up with my misery living with diabetes for the rest of my life.
I am 280lbs. I'm 5'9 so tall people carry weight better. I'm not fat. I haven't spoken my aunt since last week. I'm so angry at her but she don't care.

I'm 5'8, male and weigh 166lbs? Weight is hardly an issue in my mind as I've always been able to maintain (almost) no matter what I do.

Women typically way less than men at a given height. I don't want to know entirely you are fighting, but your doctors and families advice is not unkind or hurtful *towards* you.

I understand how you might feel hurt.

@SW-User I am. Nobody cares about my feelings. It isn't fair. I wish the truth didn't hurt.

@PoppyLoveLala All you can do with those who care upon you, is explain how you are trying, or how you can't, and them putting pressure on you isn't helping.

I can't know but is there small measures you can take in yourself to help you?

@SW-User I guess.

@PoppyLoveLala explore what they are - and if you don't find yourself liking them, try something else, something will jive with you.
