That's an amazing article, Laura. For several reasons: first and foremost it is absolutely, motivating. Second, your rational take on being overweight and how to "correct" that through lifestyle measures is exemplary. Third, you highlight a child's agony load that comes with being "fat". I had written an article about that matter sometime last year (https://medium.com/right-to-rejuvenation/are-fat-people-just-lacking-willpower-or-is-it-their-genes-b0078b3cc346)

Then there is your finely chiseled criticism of the body positivism movement, which I abhor.

Your health now speaks volumes about the benefits of your lifestyle choices and your grit to see them through. Your article deserves to be presented to many more readers.
