Being fit doesn’t mean that a person should have a toned or muscled body or a lean physique; it means that a person is free from diseases and he is confident about his body. It should always be about how a person feels and never about how he looks.
Body-shaming
There is no denying the fact that body-shaming is something which should never be done but it is also true that being overweight is not good too as obesity increases the chances of a person suffering from various other diseases.
An inspiring story
