303. if weight loss is not important to a person

then they are in no way obliged to achieve it.

There are millions of people who are fine with their weight is it is, even if they are considered overweight or obese by medical standards. I personally don't see it as a moral issue, and I do not approve of 'fat shaming' or bullying based on a person's size. I spent about half of my total life to date at a size well above what is considered acceptable for a woman, and I don't take kindly to discrimination, bullying, cruelty or rudeness toward fat people.

In my own experience, the extra 70 pounds of fat was disabling and I am much more active and healthy without it. I can sprint again now, for example. I couldn't before losing the weight.

My point is that there is hope for those who do not wish to carry this extra burden, and it doesn't have to cost them money or even take that much time.
