I am obese, and am aware that I'm unhealthy. I am working with a doctor to remedy the situation. Making fun of someone never helps. We can have intelligent discussion about weight, health, and our different aesthetic tastes, and we don't need to resort to name calling or fat/skinny shaming. People are beautiful because they are people, and nobody needs to be bullied for any reason. Ever.
Telling someone they don't have to live up to Hollywood standards is not enabling. No one looks at themselves when they are obese and says, "Yea, this is fine. This is what I want to be". However, it doesn't mean they can't be attractive, fun, intelligent and feel good about themselves.
