The photo shows someone who is not only overweight, but, with fat going down over her knees from her thighs, and the overall size, I bet she weighs 400#-ish, at least. In BMI, she has to be in the worst category.
This is worse for your heart/cardiovascular system, your lungs, your joints. It is a marker for Type II Diabetes, etc. There is nothing sexy about dying early in a misguided attempt to hide behind "acceptance" and "diversity" when you are unhealthy.
