Well done on achieving your goals and doing what is important for you. However, your contention that obesity is being promoted doesn’t ring true. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a campaign "promoting" it or even heard people do so. I have though heard people just like you repeatedly and loudly tell me that being fat is not okay. I listen to people comment on my body and nod. I figure they are coming from a good place but probably lack the social skills/empathy to know to not comment on another persons body. I know I’m fat. I don’t hate myself but I don’t love myself either. I’m just a fat guy - and I’m okay with it. I guess you wouldn’t be okay with that, and that’s okay too. Glad you have a platform to share your thoughts. Hope you feel good now for doing so. All the best dude.
