      Who says no one is doing anything about their body? if you were a true "med student" youd know some people have certain medical conditions that cause them to gain weight despite how often they work out. what are you a medical assistant , lol? a medical assistant is not a med student. some people are naturally a bigger build

      Where did I say I was a medical assistant? I'm a medical student. And I'm 5'1 and weight 120 pounds, which is withing the normal weight range for my height. Yes, I know there are medical conditions that do that, but that doesn't mean they should stop working out. Which is exactly what I said in my other comment.

      Men can be overweight against their will as well, just for the record.
      Also, the number of people who have certain medical conditions that cause them to gain weight is tiny in comparison to the number of people who are actually overweight. I mean the US is literally facing an obesity epidemic.
      For the record, I have nothing against body positivity. My problem is this idea that its largely one sided. It's not remotely acceptable to be too skinny and I've seen many women shamed for it but being gigantic now gets you on the cover of magazines.

      @camy137 man I always agree with your opinions. I hate when people use the "medical conditions" excuse when the numbers clearly don't add up. And it's funny because the excuse is only used with overweight people when the same thing could apply to underweight people. Oh, the hypocrisy...

      @SouthernGirl23 At what point did I claim to know everyone in the US? I'm going off statistics. You're the one making the outrageous claims! Let me ask you a serious question, what percentage of obese people would you say are obese due to factors outside their control? If you have to give an estimate? 10%? 20%? 50%?

      @SouthernGirl23 Hang on, are you seriously claiming that the US does not have an obesity problem? Please tell me you are because I would love nothing more than to show you all the factual information related to that exact point. You don't need to know everyone in the US to make such a claim, otherwise there would be literally no scientific literature whatsoever. It's based on samples. That's how such conclusions are made.

      You're hilarious! Are you seriously implying that someone cannot refer to factual information unless they are from that country? And no, I'm not from the US but I am from Scotland in the UK, both of which are facing a similar problem just to a lesser extent.
      But sure, go and stick your head back in the sand. You're like a child that stick its fingers in its ear so that it can pretend not to listen!

      telling someone theyre ugly isn't going to make them want to lose weight. ots often the opposite, they eat their feelings. building up their confidence and self love would help them see that taking care of them self is worth it and theyre worth taking care of.

      No. I think you misunderstand. My fault. I didn’t elaborate. Too quick with old thumbs I think. Sorry. I should’ve said that being a part of a movement is great but it should be detrimental to one’s health. Feel valued is essential and a right. No one should be shamed, abused or made to feel those things by anyone. I meant to say that it’s important to feel proud of who you are but never forget your health. It’s a fine line between being proud and then negating your general health. I’m not talking about physical medical issues clearly. There are, sometimes, mental factors that play a part too I know. I detest the media and they will scoop anything they see fit. Something as personal as personal physical and mental health shouldn’t a tabloid column. I am attempting to dictate, shame or abuse. I’m just saying that health comes first always.
