From the Arthritis Foundation (for ex)
"Fibromyalgia hurts more when you’re overweight. Having too much body fat and too little muscle also increases fatigue and worsens many other symptoms. Studies show that losing weight and exercising help dial down the pain while improving daily function."
Plus, despite the pain, it's very recommended to exercise 2 or 3 times a week, slow and regular exercise according to each one possibilities of course,. Apparently DV doesn't. Seems like she's driven everywhere for a start and only swims in her parent's pool occasionally.
I am fat and I guess most of the plus size followers are fat too. I don't hate myself or the fat people in general, on the contrary.
I am quite happy although I'd be happy to drop a little weight for comfort right now. Fat comes in all different kind of bodies, shapes, sizes...
Fatphobia exists even in the medical field but still, there are (medical) truths you can't deny. It's not prejudice but simple facts.
