Support for people who don't fit the perfect American image? Totally awesome. Help for people who are overweight/obese? Fantastic. Telling people that being fat is not unhealthy, and ridiculing people who are trying to lose weight? Um, not cool. Also, hurtful to people in the long run.

This makes sense to me. (Assuming that you mean that "help" is both "help losing weight if they want to" and "help dealing with their other problems conscientiously and supportively if they say they're not interested in losing weight right now. But I do assume you mean that.)
