Telling people being obese isn't unhealthy--not productive

47. you just contradicted your own statement

Do you honestly think those of us who are overweight don't know that we have to watch our blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and other vitals? Because we do know we need to watch them and some of us do watch them. You said you think we should celebrate our diversity of size and shapes. Yes we should. And that means we shouldn't feel the need to go around telling fat people that they are killing themselves. I am overweight. I do go to the doctor and my blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and other vitals are fine. So, I am going to celebrate my size diversity as you say we should do. I am in my late thirties and one thing I have learned with age is to not care what other people think of me. I am more kind and gentle with myself. I try very hard to accept and love myself and not put myself down. I like myself and what other people think of me just doesn't matter anymore. I have more important things to do with time like enjoying myself, my family, and my life. So with life being so short and precious I would tell big people out there to love yourself and enjoy life and I would tell others to try an exercise in kindness and compassion.
