Yes, your fat does mean that you're not healthy and here's why The biggest complaint I have about this whole fat acceptance thing is the argument of "you can't tell my level of health just by looking at me" or the infamous "Just because I'm fat doesn't mean I'm at a higher chance of diabetes/heart attack/etc". Well fatties, I'm here to tell you I CAN judge your level of health and fitness just by glaring at your despicable form.  See the human body is an amazing thing. It can survive a beating, but if you have any sort of an active lifestyle (I'm talking about a short walk a day with a busy job) and you don't cram absolute shit into your cakehole, then you'll be at an acceptable weight and BMI. With your excessive fat, I can see you eat about 3000 calories too much a day and have an extremely lazy lifestyle. Even with "conditions" if you just get off your ass and move like a normal human and eat normal food, you will be acceptable. See that's why BMI is a RANGE. It is meant to accommodate most of the population (you'll always have the extreme cases of muscle and height). Hell at this point I'll accept a BMI that says you're just overweight. But the fats that bitch and moan the loudest are death fats and yes you can lose weight of you respected yourself and everyone you inconvenience around you.  My best example is a coworker of mine. She is 60, with actual hypothyroidism (she requires meds multiple times a day to not DIE), Type 1 diabetes (born with it not acquired through gluttony), and she has issues losing weight. But I've never seen her eat unhealthy, even with free pizza and pie at work, and all of her family is in great shape. So if you want to compare yourself to a 60 year old woman eating 1000 calories a day and working 12 hour days, don't. My friend is a fucking badass and you're a pathetic pile of shit that needs to give up and let the diabetes take you already.
