I hope you realize my throat closing up while I sleep is not related to my fat. My throat relaxes while I sleep to the point it closes several times. That's how sleep apnea works for most people. And I'm not obligated to tell you anything about my weight. I think you people have had sufficient information as is and have belittled and shamed me enough for one day.
If you are obese and have sleep apnea odds are that it's caused by your obesity. You have something like a 75-80% chance of curing yourself if you dropped to a normal weight
Mate 2 people close to me have Apnea, they are both obese.
The first two things doctors tell them is to lose weight
I know is hard as fuck, but you shoudnt either feel bad for being fat nor excuse yourself believing that your problems have nothing to do with your weight. They do.
Let's look at the risk factors for sleep apnea from WebMD:
1: Being Male
2: Being a fatass
It's literally the second one listed. But maybe WebMD is full of fat shamers. Let's see what the National Heart, Lung and Blood institute has to say:
"Obstructive sleep apnea is more common in people who are overweight"
Well golly gee wilkers. At least we can trust The Mayo clinic to give it to us straight:
"People who are obese have four times the risk of sleep apnea that people who are a normal weight people do. Fat deposits around your upper airway may obstruct your breathing."
This isn't drama, this is just sad and my heart goes out to the guy. He's overweight, he knows it, he's in denial, so his first instinct is to lash out. I'm willing to bet that no one in his life had ever been helpful in terms of his weigh and that he was constantly picked on. I may be wrong, but the amount of lashing out is indicative of someone who's in a dark place due to his weight.

Normal sized so I don't fear for my life at taking a nap and being choked by my own fat at any point ever in my life.

If my girlfriend slept hooked up to a vacuum cleaner I'd probably end up burning the house down at 3am.
