This is such a fraught topic yet you’ve handled it with great personal honesty by focusing on how body positivity makes you feel, rather than attacking its proponents.

Fatphobics often couch their prejudice against fat people as “concerns about health” while ignoring the fact that heavy people are competent adults with access to all the same health info as the rest of us, and are free to make their own decisions. Fatphobia posing as “health advice” quickly sinks into condescension and assumptions about the lifestyles of the fat, and the pushback against that was long overdue. I don’t want anyone feeling shame over something as difficult to control as looks, weight, or aging.

But accepting everyone and applauding them for doing their thing doesn’t require ditching your own personal fitness goals.
