I don't think that is true. Part of the problem is that once you are obese then it's already kind of game over. There seems to be a pretty strong consensus that losing large amounts of weight is extremely hard and even when it does happen, people tend to eventually gain it all back. I see the body positivity movement as just trying to reconcile that reality. If you are already obese then you might as well try and find a way to live a happy life because you are probably never going to be slender again.
