I don't doubt that it is possible to be fat AND healthy. Or 'overweight' and healthy. Just like it's possible to be 'underweight' and healthy. But that sad truth is, most people who are obese are definitely not healthy. I believe the article alludes to that.
It's a good thing to be able to be comfortable with how you look. And you should be concerned about losing weight because you want to be healthy, not because you want to look like some unreal image in a magazine.
I've never had an issue with 'fat' people or 'skinny' people. I'm certainly not afraid of them. Hell, I'm fighting the middle-aged spread these days. I'm lucky, though, because I'm probably an 'ectomorph' so I don't have as much of a battle to fight as some people do!
