As it should be, as shaming has proven entirely ineffective, and long term, durable weight loss is extremely rare in any case. In my opinion, if people are overweight, they might as well try to deal with the issues while being happy than while being depressed.
I also think it's really important to separate "body positivity" from the much rarer (and false) instances of "obesity doesn't matter for health." I associate body positivity with things like "the Richard Simmons mindset", i.e. no matter what your weight is that getting up and moving/dancing can feel great and improve your health and your mood, or the "Michelle Obama mindset", that healthy eating should start with eating fruits and vegetables rather than focus on dieting.
