Curious how this plays out. Will say I wish Lizzo was still on Twitter to get a response. Typically ones weight is no one else's business.
What y'all think?

Yeah Lizzo gets the brunt of twitters harsh shaming for her body
I think I like big bodies, itty bitty bodies, Mississippi bodies, inner city bodies,
I like the pretty bodies with the bow tie
Get your nails did, let it blow dry
I like a big beard, I like a clean face, I don't discriminate, come and get a taste
I somehow knew that there would some caveat, and when searching for who Lizzo was that became clear.
Adele is fine, Meghan Trainor too. Lizzo? No, that's too much.
You ain't being slick there chief.

I think Jillian Michaels is terrible and The Biggest Loser was (is?) incredibly dangerous and irresponsible.
I don't think the problem with obesity in this country has much to do with people thinking there's nothing wrong with being obese.
Condition/disorder shaming ... they are just perpetuating the fears to get people to be behind their fitness programs. Anyone regardless of size can get it, that's why they specifically don't use words like increased risk, risk or at risk.
Meh, we shouldn't give this any attention.
Jillian Michaels prob said this on purpose to generate attention for her and her brand.

Who is saying Lizzo is perfectly healthy? It seens like these dumbasses want us to constantly attack obese people until they shut down
Not to mention extremely fake - with aspects of"professional" weight losers. Same kind you see in those weird before and after shots where the same photographer apparently grabbed shots of a water-weight chubby guy and then his vascular transformation - where he was a fitness model/athlete who gained quick weight on purpose to create the spectacle in a counterintuitive way.
Also Jillian Michaels is a business that depends on overweight people feeling like shit. She's hardly an uninvested observer, let alone qualified medical professional.
You aren't her doctor so you have no idea how "healthy" she is.
Lizzo's success and confidence drives fat-shaming assholes absolutely insane. There are seemingly entire communities on Twitter dedicated to sharing jokes about her and just generally fat shaming her. I see a lot of it from the Cumtown/dirtbag-left-adjacent edgelord crowd.
Listen just because someone is overweight doesn't mean they aren't healthy. As someone pointed out on Twitter her super fit coworker had a heart attack at the gym. It's just body shaming but acting like you care. She isn't a fucking doctor and has no clue what Lizzo's medical conditions are. I say this as someone who does workout and is relatively thin and people think I'm "super healthy" when I have quite a few health problems.
Lizzo is also just existing and happy with herself and it's so clear so many people have problems with bigger people just being happy in their skin. It's honestly pathetic.

Jillian, many of us aren't celebrating Lizzo's body, we're celebrating Lizzo's self love, something that you've struggled with in your life, too.
For some people they are celebrating Lizzo's body because that's their thing.

This. Her show was so high energy. She was getting it hard. I left feeling inspired af - I imagine it's how some religious people feel leaving church.
These assholes should see her live before they open their fat mouths.
The shit she does on stage will leave others out of breath 5 mins in
People preach and glorify "unhealthy habits" all the time, she wouldn't be wrong for telling people to enjoy eating delicious food that's high in sugar and fat. Same way alcohol, recreational drug use, and casual sex are glorified although most people are aware of the health drawbacks from such behavior. Basically, the ethos here is mind your own business like you said, even including if she promoted eating whatever you wanted. (I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, just expanding your point to include the caveat you made.)
I have no attraction or respect for being overweight
Also my attraction to someone is completely irrelevant and inconsequential. I don't need to be attracted to people and they don't need for me to be attracted to them.
I do not admire unconditional self love when it comes to being an unhealthy or immoral person
Also Lizzo's self love is none of my or anyone else's business. She can do whatever she wants with her own body. She didn't ask me or anyone else what we recommend for her body.
In short I do not celebrate, hate, or really concern myself with her body at all.

Jillian Michaels' entire career is rooted in perpetuating a society where bigger folks feel ashamed of their bodies, so this comes as no surprise.
I agree with everything you just said. Ultimately its a mind your own business thing.
I'm fat, I'm aware of it, I accept it, I don't hate my body, but I know I should put more effort into living a healthier lifestyle but I lack time, energy, and motivation.
While I'm definitely against fat shaming, I think anyone who celebrates being fat is delusional and/or misguided. It's not something to celebrate.

This is my take. Is she ideal weight? Probably not. But I don't think shaming is the right approach at all, instead encourage acceptance and support should she choose to lose weight. I also don't think anyone should be encouraged or celebrated to be fat, which is why I hated the "dad bod" fad.
I don't think shaming is the right approach, but I do think the culture sometimes coddles it a little bit too much.
and I say that as someone who needs to lose 40+ lbs right now
Fuck that body-shaming stick woman and fuck the "I'm just conceeerrrrrrrrned" bullshit people try to pull.
People should be celebrated and encouraged to be who they are as long as it's not detrimental to other people. We can talk about optimal or "ideal" health just fine without requiring the pursuit of such to be a precondition to treat people well.
Some people naturally carry more fat than others, especially women. Lizzo is obviously overweight, and we don't know her personal health history, but I'd be more concerned about her joint and back health as she ages rather than diabetes. I come from a family of women where most of them look like Lizzo, and pretty much all of them had back/joint issues once they hit mid 40s. The added weight just takes a toll on those parts of the body over the years and there is no way to handwaive that.
But I'm all for body positivity, and I think what Lizzo represents is fine. It isn't like she's trying to convince people to gain weight and look like her, but rather focused on displaying herself as is.
