Even if you are an unhealthy weight, you are still worthy of love and respect. Anyone that suggests otherwise is pathetic. It is not your place to tell someone "well... as long as you're healthy". I mean really? Like if you're not healthy you don't deserve to have a life? I don't think so. Spread love and support, don't demean someone for something as trivial as their body.
The reason people say this, and sometimes I do, is because sometimes overweight people are unhealthy. I understand that some of it is just how you are, but sometimes it's just bad for your health. I never say that to mock people, just to clarify that they have a healthy and happy lifestyle. Body positivity is great, but health is also very important.
