I think you pose a valid point. I can't speak for anyone else on here, but yes, I do want fat people to exercise and get healthy. Of course I do. I have old friends and close family members who are fat, and I would be overjoyed if they were to put in the work to get fit. Here's the problem: The woman in this picture is an addict. She's clearly been an addict for a long time, too. Someone who has reached this weight has a long history of selfishness, alienating loved ones, and making shitty excuses for her bad behavior. Her behavior does not exist in a vacuum. She's letting down people who care about her every day. It's the same as being an alcoholic or a drug addict. She's putting her parents through the nightmare of having to watch their own child die right in front of their eyes, and there's nothing they can do about it. All because she won't stop eating so much pizza. She's bringing down her friends by discouraging them from eating healthy or being active because when they suggest hiking and cooking, she counters with movies and takeout. She's also putting them through undue stress. Caring about someone who is so lost in their addictions is extremely difficult, whether it's alcohol, drugs, or food. So you have this addict, this person who has continually fucked over everyone who cares about her for years, just so she can eat extra jelly beans. Now, she's bragging on social media about how great it is that she's going to get fit. Of course, someone of her weight has no business running because she'll fuck up her knees doing that. Plus, she makes no mention of changing her diet, which is a much bigger issue than lack of exercise. So she's going to fail. She's going to fail because she is not really making a commitment to change the thing that's actually making her unhealthy. She's going to fail because she's relying on validation on social media, which will quickly taper off after the first few runs. She's going to fail because running is a terrible exercise for someone with her body weight. What she will do, with her high-visibility bragging about her "new lifestyle," is that she'll set all her loved ones up for yet another disappointment as this fizzles out. She'll tell her parents "maybe you won't lose your child after all. Maybe your worst nightmare won't come true." Then, after a couple weeks, "just kidding. Your child is still dying, and you're helpless to keep it from happening." That's where a lot of the vitriol comes from.
