Glorifying obsesity

[Poppybob]

I find it bizarre that media and social platforms are glorifying obesity. Am not talking about people putting pictures of themselves on social media and living their lives in general, and am NOT saying overweight/obese people should be hiding.... but actual social media stars who are promoting obesity and how good/gorgeous they are etc etc. It's unhealthy!!! Takes 10-20years off your life! The Co - morbidities from being dangerously overweight alone can shorten your life. It's on par with smoking it's so bad for your health. And I worry about my kids looking at this and thinking that it will be OK for them to be very overweight.

There are newer types of physical intervention such as balloons or a 'sleeve' where they only sew the stomach up rather than removing most of it. That way it is reversible.

I dont know the efficacy of these

@bellac11 I have had a gastric sleeve it is not reversible- they remove a high portion of your stomach and create a sleeve which is your new stomach. It is just as invasive as a bypass
A balloon is something you swallow and it comes out after six months

Ive had a gastric sleeve too

There is another sleeve, where they just sew the stomach up, rather than remove part of the stomach, its a new procedure as I said in my post. It is reversible and they do the sewing via the mouth so it doesnt involve surgery.

You can get 12 or 6 month balloons too.

I have just come across this article and had a read of the comments.

This is why we need people like Lizzo.
Comments are horrible and mocking

And that shitrag knew exactly why they posted that article it, it wasn't to be helpful.
The same way they don't think lizzo"looks incredible on stage".

See that says it all.

healthy is 18.5-25.

And it’s really important to note that a BMI of 16 comes with nowhere near the health risks of being overweight.
