Translation: I AM FAT.
Here's your informed consent. Weighing you requires that you get off your fat ass. Given the looks of you, that might result in a heart attack, but that will happen sooner rather than later if you keep stuffing your face with cake and not moving except to remove a dead kitten from your fat rolls to consume it.
The doctor needs to weight you because a significant change up or down with no deliberate diet or exercise change is a symptom of several very serious diseases.
Because several medications need a higher or a lower dose depending on your body mass.
Because gaining weight till you have excess adipose tissues, especially around your midsection, is putting stress on your pancreas. Even if you don't hit the BMI mark for excess weight, you can be excessively fat and set yourself for an early onset of T2 diabetes. Keeping an eye on that can help you make informed decisions about your lifestyle.
HAES Advocate : "Waaaa fatphobia! I need a body positive doctor!"
HAES Doctor : "It seems you have not been eating enough lately. Try eating a bit more."
HAES Advocate : "This is the quality healthcare free from weight bias I have been looking for!"

Sure your weight had nothing to do with it?
Here's some relevant Bernays, who would be impressed by the results of modern propaganda campaigns.

Oh Eddie, you could never have imagined how wrong you were here.
They all want to sell their stuff ( food ) to the equivalent of people in crippling debt ( fatties ). And fatties like to eat alot, so they want to hear they are "not eating enough of X". Never be told and accept they eat too much, period.
I budget my food calories and fill the daily total with whatever taistes good as long as I have a baseline of proteins and vitamins and keep it in balance with basic needs + exercise of that day.
The scale responds exactly as expected.
The stupid "experts" on TV saying shit like "eat takeout no more than once or twice a month" or "stop eating this, that, and than", eat breakfest, wait, don't. Fat is evil, sugar is evil.
Oh my god, it's not that fucking complicated.
Got a weight problem? Precisely mesure your food and drinks, and increase or decrease the number of calories you consume according to your goals.
Since losing my old computer I lost the link to the study on obese people who "just can't lose weight despite barely eating". Sad.
The results were, even if you tell them to report everything they eat because it will be mesured by a third party, fatties eat twice as much as they claim they do.
I don't know when it happened, but at some point "experts" and the general public started believing fat people swearing they "don't eat that much" and since then have been comming-up with ridiculous vodoo rituals and lists of scapegoat items.
They seem incapable to say and accept these simple words : you are fat because you consume too much food.
Instead they say you need to eat and drink more. Drink more water. Eat more protein. Eat more vegetables. Well the fattie os going to keep eating their jumbo bag of chips, but once every other day they will add an apple.
Nutritionists have been about as helpful for the past decades as epidemiologists have been for the past 2 years : they negatively impacted everyone's lives.
You should have seen the booklets they gave my father. About as useful as the government propaganda telling you to wash your hands against an airborne virus.
Washing your fucking hands is still one of the best things to do against any disease, respiratory or not.
"research backed" lol yeah right
There's actually a small cottage industry of "researchers" that churn out these bullshit studies headed by a FtM named (I shit you not) Lindo Bacon (formerly Linda).
Research backed = she can't reach her back.
Do they roll these lards onto the scale? I've always had to consent to being weighed by walking onto the damn scale under my own power.
You can tell so much from a Twitter profile. Particularly when their name is "Monica | Fatty, MPH says "paid shutdown NOW, pls"." No one puts fatty there unless they are a fat activist. What the hell is an MPH? Massive Pig Hoe? Asking for a paid shutdown being the biggest one. Of course you want a paid shutdown, how better to sit on your lazy fat ass.
Why even go to the doctor if you care so little about your health that you aren't willing to take a small hit to your pride by acknowledging reality?
Stop filling up emergency rooms, selfish fat people!
solution: refuse to treat fat women
really everyone refusing any interaction with fat women would solve so many problems
People who can't fit in the cat scanner need to use the veterinary ones at zoos
Let's pretend for a moment that 'diagnosis: hambeast' is, in fact, incorrect. If you followed the doctor's advice and lost weight and the problem persisted, the doctor could no longer diagnose you as a tub-oid and he would 'be forced' to find the 'real' malady. Problem solved and now you aren't disgusting to boot.
