CMV: The body positivity movement is wrong (in some cases)

I cannot seem to want to agree with the body positivity movement despite all of the claims given to me that it’s good. I have two reasons behind this; first being I’m a cancer survivor. It has been clinically proven that excess body fat can cause higher risk of cancer. Now, having gone through Brain Cancer myself, I can tell you it is way worse than it is portrayed (and cancer is already portrayed pretty horrid disease). So I don’t understand how some people can be comfortable with being higher risk for that disease. 

My second point is that I know plenty of people who genuinely try very hard to keep their body in an ideal shape, whether they are embarrassed to even think about wearing a swimsuit, all the way to people who exercise because if they don’t they would almost surely die. And yes, I admit while some people have genetic issues, I believe there is specific medicines for these things. I just cannot understand people who justify unhealthy body proportions as “healthy”. Somebody please at least provide me some other perspective because at this point I cannot wake up in the morning and see someone on TV justifying their unhealthy body as”healthy,” and it setting me in a grumpy mood. Please CMV. I just need it changed for my own sanity.

Body positivity is very much a movement designed to counteract some of the excessively negative views about overweight people.

Yes, being overweight is unhealthy.  But that doesn't remotely justify the straight up *disgust* that some people have for overweight people.

Making overweight people feel even worse about how they look than society already judges them just isn't beneficial in any way.  There are much better ways to motivate people than shame, and even if you believe we should be shaming overweight people, they already get way more than enough shaming, especially women.

So especially for people who are sensitive to the fleeting glances they get judging them for their weight as they go about their day, they just need an escape from that.  Someone to tell them that being overweight doesn't make them an awful person.  Someone to provide a counter balance to the way too extreme reaction that society has against overweight people.  And body positivity fills that role of a counter balance.
