why are people so concerned with creating healthy body images?

Question

Why is it more important for people to feel good about themselves even when they are fat, than to lose the weight and be healthier? The suggested weights for height and age are much too high. They should be more like 110 for a 5'8" person than like 130 or whatever they are. NO OFFENCE MEANT!!! any thoughts?

Answer 1

I really don't understand it either. I think weight limits are much to high. To make people feel better, probably. To lower the bar so that they can make it over the bar. I think the effect is the opposite though. You lower the bar, and everyone just kinda slides.
