When it comes to a professional athlete who it was reported had come into camp overweight gets ribbed online over it. I don't think its something to ruffle anybodies feathers that's not just looking to be sensitive over anything. I doubt his "fat" is even what my body shape is now or at any point of my life even. People taking slight of it must spend the day seeking things to take offence over.

It's great that you overcame your weight and lifestyle. Sure, there are some overweight people that just don't care about being overweight, but most actually do. Maybe hearing this perspective might make you understand why 'fat shaming' is so harmful. Most people are not oblivious to the fact that they are overweight, and that it causes health issues.
