It's an aggregate combination of genetic and environmental factors that lead to weight problems and/or exacerbate them. So you can hardly say that this is their fault. Therefore, it would still be irrational of you to harshly criticize people for being of a certain weight.
Are you on drugs, or something? I only criticise those that obviously have a choice in the matter. The woman cited in the OP clearly had one. She went from one extreme too far over the other.
I never said anything about how many people have a choice in the matter, and I don't think you're qualified to make that claim either, not that it matters. If it can be shown that most people don't have a choice, then I won't criticize those people. Is this so hard for you to understand? Try reading what I'm saying slower - that might help perhaps.
You're being deceptive. She didn't go from one extreme to the other. What she chose to do was become more comfortable with no longer trying to meet the fucked up expectations of society regarding her weight. That is not her choosing to become fat (at least not the kind of fat I'm referring to). And if you think that's fat in an obvious sense, then something is wrong with you. And just as well, if you believe she's fat because she thinks she's fat, then something is still wrong with you. See, I can make personal attacks as well.
