Do you think the media are promoting obesity as healthy?

I think it’s okay to feel good about our bodies but so long as people understand the detrimental effect of being overweight. People have a deluded concept about being curvy, if you’re overweight, it’s not curvy, it’s fat.

One of my friend is overweight and she is in this deluded bubble. We are all trying to help her to lose some weight.

Yep. I think the media panders to overweight people. They've twisted body acceptance into bad health complacency because it pays better.

Loving yourself and feeling attractive regardless of your weight or health is fantastic! We deserve self-acceptance and respect regardless of our weight or health. But accepting yourself as you are doesn't mean not being open to change or improvement. If you love yourself you'll do what's best for your health.
Whatever the case, we have no right to treat people poorly based on their weight or health.
