My doctor flat out told me that I was fat and I'm so close to being diabetic. I'm just big boned. I'm 5'3 and 266lbs. Is she right?

She has a point. Listen to her damn it!

You're just big boned

Whatever you're stubborn.

You don't need to be small to be healthy and bigger ladies are in now. Thin is out! Anways my doctor got in my face saying my cutting is out of control and lay off the junk food. She sternly told me I need to lose weight and if the cutting gets worse or if my weight does up she will be very upset and be on me. I keep telling her I'm just big boned but every time she shot back at me saying unless I wanna be on the 600 pound life she suggest me to lose weight. I stormed out crying because she hurt my feelings. My parents suggested I keep her as my PCP because the ones I had were too far or sugarcoated about my weight.

Just because "bigger ladies are in" doesn't mean it's not overweight. my doctor seems to think that i'm overweight too. i have a feeling that i see a look on her face and she asks if i exercise. i am 5'2 and weigh 156. i don't look overweight. I think that it is ridiculous that she wants me to eat several more times a day just because i sometimes nearly pass out.

You could really just be big boned, but i think that the doctor could easily determine if that is the case. It's fine to accept yourself and be happy with yourself, but don't run away from facts that determine a healthy weight range. Also, if the doctor is rude, then make sure to get a different doctor.
