It is one thing to harass and belittle people who are overweight... that's just shitty behavior...
It is another ignore the negative health effects of obesity.
It is important to your own mental health to develop a positive self-image - whether you're under-, over-, or "prefect"-weight...
It is equally important to understand that sometimes we need to change our behaviors and habits due to health concerns.
Not quite apples-to-apples, but I was just recently warned by my Dr to drastically reduce my caffeine intake - as it's affecting my heart rhythm! I don't want to die, so I'm doing just that - and it's very difficult! I love my coffee, and I get rather irritable without it... but I'd rather be irritable than dead, so I muddle through it...
I am sorry this woman has passed at such a young age. I appreciate her devotion to maintaining a positive self-image in spite of her weight (and sharing that with others)... but I am also sorry she wasn't able to do enough health-wise to prevent this tragic ending.
