People who care about you are probably honestly concerned about your health. Being overweight doesn't mean you're not gorgeous, and it isn't a negative reflexion of who you are or your character. It's not morally wrong or disgusting. It has no bearing on how awesome you are. It doesn't mean you aren't sexy.
But let's not pretend that it isn't a health risk. When I ask about someone's health it's always because I'm genuinely concerned.
The problem is the "what about your health?!" usually comes from people who don't know much about me and usually assume things like my blindness are from diabetes. To which I say; um no. If people close to me are worrying about my health it's usually not weight related, if it is its them worrying about water weight from the hydrocephalus.
