Fat Rant
The beauty of the balance of food is for some, they are larger than society wants them to be. Even if your goal is to lose weight, you have to be happy within the weight you currently have.
This woman, Joy Nash, doesn't have that problem. Nash tells us she is 224 lbs., a size 18/20/XXX, and fat. In the almost 8-minute video, she extolls the virtues of being fat. Regardless of what you might think about her size, she seems happy at her size.
We should note that she is not necessarily typical for her fatness. She is above average attractive in the face and wears her weight well. But she is fat.
The true balance comes from striving to be the best at what we can be, and not to harass others who make different choices than we make. It really should be more about who people are than their clothing size.
And if you are a cynic, consider this: people who feel they don't have to lose weight to reach "happiness" might do better in losing weight since there isn't as much pressure to lose.
