I think if one has the time, they should definitely work out. Not just because "you'll be skinny". You gain muscle & going on a scale will make you feel like shit because the scale falsely tells you the fat isn't coming off when it is, it's just being replaced by muscle. But exercising has sooo many benefits to your health, so much so that even if you're not a size 0 you will overall just be a happier and more energetic person.

Even if someone's overweight (not obese, but they have some extra pounds for their "average" height and age group), if they're putting in the effort to exercise, you can tell pretty easily. And that's really all any decent person asks for, is that you're trying.

I go hiking and stuff but I can't be bothered to go to a gym. I still have fairly bad social anxiety and hate people.

I just rely on eating right.

Google and YouTube can be your best friends. Look up at-home workouts that utilize body weight. Something as basic as push-ups is SEVERELY underrated IMO as an exercise, it does wonders for your arms & pectorals. If you have the money I suggest investing in dumbbells, those adjustable would be ideal but they can be pricey ($100+) depending on the brand. Good on you for eating right!

It's ok, she'll die of clogged arteries soon.

I can't believe the social justice crusade has gotten so bad that it's basically saying "You don't have to be healthy or put any effort into eating right and exercising! Just eat what you want and sit on your ass all day browsing Tumblr and become a whale and die of a heart attack at 45!"

Being skinny IS a privilege because you have to work for it. It takes self control, but it's not like if you're fat you're not stuck being fat for the rest of your life, unless you have a glandular disorder or something.

We shouldn't actively shame fat people, but we shouldn't have to believe like they don't have health issues.
Who's next? Alcoholics?
"Why are you drunk shaming? Check your sober privilege!"
It's a fucking health issue you fat morons!
Go out and get in shape you lazy piles of doritos!

How exactly do you know she doesn't eat more healthy at home? Just because you saw her eat in public doesn't mean you know the entirety of her eating habits. Plus, the fact that she is swimming means she is... you know... EXERCISING. Swimming is an extremely efficient exercise that works out the whole body. Are you seriously complaining about a person being fat, while also complaining that they are willingly exercising while daring to be fat?

Because she shows herself ONLY INDULGING at home and out to eat.

That swimming of hers is not exercise. She did a lap across her small pool. If you people constitute that as exercise, then the world has a big issue on their hands.

In all honesty, I think you're just really competitive and really into having a healthy diet right now and stuff like this just fuels that. Which I see no problem with as long as you don't hurt anyone's feelings.

I care about everyone's health, it's just the kind of person I am.

The majority of people would change something physical about themselves if they could and some bodies change more quickly/easily than others. Not really our place to judge.

This needed to be said. Also, some people can't help being large because they could have a very low metabolism.

Low metabolism is 99 percent of the time due to shitty diet and lack of exercise. That is no excuse. Get healthy and raise the metabolism. I did just that in one year. Low to very high burning. It takes consistence. That's all it is. Eat what nature gives you and put in 3 hours a week at the gym. It's not that hard.
