Body shaming, and "My Big Fat Fabulous Life"

[Aroura]

Hello AF,

So, I've seen a commercial for this new TV show on TLC (the same people who brought us such wonderful programs such as 19 Kids and Counting, and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo) called "My Big Fat Fabulous Life".  The entire premise of the show upsets me.

First let me say I would never judge a person by their weight.  My brother is, sadly, morbidly obese.  Most people I know are at least heavy set.  ALL of my female friends are heavy or obese, and my hubby has a 40lb spare tire.  I love these people, not despite or because of their bodies, but because I think they are nice, decent, good people.  I would never want to "fat shame" any of them (any more than I like being skinny shamed...and it does happen).  As someone who sometimes has a hard time keeping any weight ON because of my nervous disorder, I understand that our weight is not really 100% under our own control, and can be a constant battle.

That being said, I'm disgusted by the notion of CELEBRATING being obese.  TLC will yet again be showing something in a positive light that really should not be shown that way. I disagree with shows celebrating anorexic models as the epitome of beauty, and I disagree with this show on the same basis.  Acceptance is not the same as encouragement.

As I said, I battle being too skinny.  Not because of anorexia or any other eating disorder, thank heavens, but I do understand what it is like to battle with your weight.  Some people laugh that off, or even get snarky or angry with me.  
"Oh, poor YOU, too skinny and can't keep weight on, whaaa." <-----this hurts!
But that seems a much more accepted behavior than the exact same kind of dismissive or shaming attitude towards bigger people.

So I suppose my question is, do you think we can show acceptance and love for people of all shapes and sizes while avoiding the pitfalls of encouraging them to become an unhealthy weight (on either end) or encouraging them to just give up and accept that weight? Do you think the current movement for acceptance of obesity is going to far, and moving into the realm of encouragement?

I do understand how easy it is to become defensive over something like one's weight, but shouldn't we show love an acceptance while still encouraging people to try and be healthier?  My family is always encouraging me to finish my food, or buying me things like protein shakes for my birthday, lol. 
Sometimes I feel like I'm 3. My husband: "Finish your milk and yogurt, dear, you need the energy."  But I am not upset at them for this, I know they love me and just want to keep me healthy, and help me live a longer, more fulfilling life.

Now when someone laughs off my issues with my weight, that sucks.  But the current obesity movement feels just like that, like we are all just supposed to laugh off their weigh issues.  Is this really ok?  I am afraid to even speak of eating and weight issues to anyone I know, except my close family, because most big people I know (mostly women, but not all women) are getting this weird attitude that even discussing their weight is "shaming" them.

Am I wrong?
