I understand the topic of weight bias, and how it affects people. I also understand that not all individuals who are categorized (based on BMI and other determining tests) as obese and even overweight can be metabolically healthy. However, if an individual is heavier they are at risk for many more diseases (this is NOT saying that those labeled as "thin" are NOT going to have these either). It's important to also explain the risks associated with this lifestyle (Note: I am NOT trying to be rude)

But you ARE being rude.

Also WRONG.

Yes, fat people have a higher risk of some things. That doesn’t mean that fat CAUSES those things, it doesn’t mean that losing weight lowers your chances (diabetes type 2 is the only one that a small amount of weight loss delays even a little, and that only a couple of years), AND IT STILL DOESN’T MEAN THAT WEIGHT LOSS WORKS. IT DOESN’T.

But more importantly: OTHER PEOPLE’S HEALTH IS NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS. PERIOD. TAKE YOUR CONCERN TROLLING AND FUCK RIGHT OFF.

Being fat is not a lifestyle, and if you think it is, you are an ignorant fucking bigot.

Now go the fuck away.
