As much as I want obesity and fitness to be more prevalent in national discourse, I still cringe when I see people being insulted on account of their obesity. Negative reinforcement may work, but not when you're dismissive and unengaged.
Body positivity, for me, is the acknowledgment and acceptance of how one's body appears and striving to make it better. Internally, for health, and externally, for aesthetics and strength.
"It is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man[/woman] you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit." - Socrates
