Response to "why it's okay to be fat."

" Shaming people does not encourage positive changes.
Bullying others does not exemplify a passion for health or even an inkling of understanding of mental health.
People are more likely to make positive lifestyle changes from a place of loving and accepting their bodies as they are as opposed to being ashamed and hating themselves.
Overweight people liking themselves does not pose a threat to anyone. At all."


This, I think, is the main point she was trying to get across. At least, I know my weight loss journey didn't really "click: until I started doing it for my own health and wellness, not because people told me I was fat and disgusting and lazy, or society told me I was ugly because I wasn't a size two. My self worth is not determined by my pants size, but my health is. Bullying me about it won't cause me to change.
