I think it can be good or bad. Mostly I think it's probably wishful thinking. Intuitive eating seems like such a simple thing, right? Eat when you're hungry. Stop when you're full. And it's cute that the suggestion is your body just STOPS gaining at it's natural set weight. We all know that's not true. Also as you get heavier, those hunger/satiety hormones change, giving you false information. Factor in the processed garbage that is sold as food and it's ability to actually cause hunger and we begin to have a problem. You only have to look at the number of overweight/obese children in America to know that intuition isn't the answer. We have a quality of food problem in this country. If you pick up "fast food" in many other countries, it's a small stand or to go restaurant, that still serves real, homemade food.
Now onto weight acceptance. I am theoretically all for body acceptance. I think people should mind their own business regarding other peoples bodies. However, there are some major health issues that come with being overweight and even more of them with obesity. I was perfectly happy fat; right up until someone I loved lost their toes, foot and finally leg, to diabetes. And I realized that was very literally my future. So off I went to have WLS. I know not everyone who is overweight has serious comorbidities. My mother for example, has been healthy her whole life. Her blood pressure is STILL better than mine. However, she's had arthritis for years. Only very recently have they decided it's acceptable to do knee replacement on heavier patients. So what good is a healthy heart if you're in so much pain you can barely get out of your chair? There are a multitude of health reasons to weigh less. You don't have to be skinny but you should strive for a healthy weight. One day you're going to need it.
