I'm not arguing that at all. The thing is- a lot of thin people don't exercise either, and eat terribly. Those kinds of behaviors are bad for you no matter what you weigh. I'm well within what is considered a healthy weight, even by BMI standards, but I could still really stand to make some changes to the way I eat and to my activity level. Good for you for making a change that was important to you, and for feeling good about it. The point of fat acceptance, as I understand it isn't that everyone should just sit around and do nothing, it's that no matter what someone's lifestyle is like, or what their size is, they still deserve respect, and the self hatred that fat people are often encouraged to feel really doesn't get anyone anywhere.
