I’ve always been conflicted about the body positivity movement. There is a lot if truth that people on the thicker side can actually be a healthy weight, but at the same time, telling obese people that they are fine as they are is like trying to normalize smoking.

What I do think is important is that someone’s self-worth should never be tied to their weight. You’re not a worse person than anyone else just because you’re overweight, and no one should be treated badly because if it.

Overall, I think it’s a mixed bag, but with more positives than negatives overall
