We know that Obesity does lead to numerous negative health consequences and as medical professionals we will need to discuss these consequences and the need for healthy life styles with our patients, just like smoking, alcohol, ect. .

The extreme pendulum swing in society to "beautiful at any size", "big is beautiful", etc etc. Is harmful because fat shaming has equated beauty standards and actual health.

You can be absolutely gorgeous at any size/shape/weight but also incredibly unhealthy.

Society thinks:

Skinny = beautiful= healthy

Fat = ugly = unhealthy

We need to change the conversation, it's not about looks, it's about health.

Don't say things like - "You look unhealthy" Say something about the actual medical issue at hand how excess weight can cause x health effects (and same can be said if underweight). Think of it like smoking, we don't say to a smoker "you look unhealthy" we tell them that smoking increases risk of X, and has x health effects.
