Let's talk about periods. ➿ Let's talk about the stigma associated with being fat and getting medical attention. ➿ I started my period when I was ten years old, ever since than I have not been regular. I would go a few months having my period thinking finally I am regular but than I would go another few months with nothing. I have started tracking my period on an app called Flo. I have told my doctor many times that my period is irregular but has she ever done anything? No she hasn't, why is this? Maybe cause I am fat, always have been since I was young. I have had issues with weight due to medical reasons. ➿ I have taken this in to my own hands. I will track my period and bring it all to the doctor and show them than maybe they will do something when they see how irregular I am after having my period for 8 years. ➿ The stigma associated with being fat and getting medical attention needs to stop. Stop telling people that if they loose weight their issues will stop, I have been told that before and come to find out I had an auto immune disease that was tearing my body apart. ➿ #stopthestigma #stopfatshaming #stopfatphobia #stopdiscrimination #stopdiscriminating #menstruation #period #irregular

What do you mean, "now"? Melissa McCarthy was always gorgeous and hilarious. Good for her for losing weight, if that's what makes her happy. Can people stop acting like the word fat is a synonym for ugly????
