If someone six feet tall wants to be twenty-eight stone [...] I do not believe it is possible to be that height, and weight, and have 'generally good health' - whatever your natural body shape. I don't really believe it's possible to be that weight and able to get up stairs, or quite possibly out of bed at all.

If you'll accept six foot three and 27 stone as a suitable approximation, then I can assure you that getting out of bed, up and down the stairs, and out and about in a normal social life is perfectly possible.

I think part of the problem with fatphobia is that people see the "half a ton" immobile people on the TV, and assume they're the norm rather than extreme outliers.
