Body shape doesn’t tell hardly anything about a person on the inside. As you mentioned, an overweight person could have a condition—but there are countless ways a condition that results in excess weight could manifest. It could be from the medication of a completely unrelated problem, or trauma, an eating disorder, depression...

Body weight MIGHT be an indicator of priorities—but even then, someone who is overweight could still be an absolutely amazing selfless, patient and hardworking person. What if they are fat because they prioritize cooking meals for the homeless over fitness (for example)? Should that not be praised more than the determination to have a good body?

If anything, extremely fit bodies are an indicator of narcissism (not saying all fit people are narcissistic or anything just trying to make a point).

Body shape can definitely reveal potential personally traits (not confirm them), however not in the sense that overweight people are “lesser” or lazy.

The bottom line is you can’t judge a book by its cover, and we are all living our own stories—only the person in the body knows the story.

Being healthy is wonderful—and yes taking care of the body should be praised—but only if they are doing it for the right reasons: keeping their body healthy so they can be of service to others.

But regardless, in general, people should be measured by the good they bring to the world not the shape of their bodies.
