http://www.prevention.com/health/medical-fat-shaming?cid=soc_facebook_allure_11-2&mbid=social_facebook This is disgustingly real. There are doctors in many states that will refuse to treat you if you're ten pounds "overweight".

I contemplated being silent today because I'm not in a good mood, but I'm also too upset to pretend. I've had less than five hours of sleep.
