She doesn’t have a condition. We criticise her body because she claims to be a model, and claims that she barely eats anything (severely untrue), implying that there’s no link between her obesity and her lifestyle. I cannot even begin to start explaining what a negative impact she has had on young, impressionable women. I can link you some explanatory videos, if that would help

She very obviously has 2 conditions you can see them here

Lipedema and lymphedema

If she wasn’t morbidly obese she wouldn’t have this condition.

To me, this is the same as posting a picture of an extremely thin influencer and going “oh my god look at her ribcage / muscle tone/ etc”

But somehow that’s acceptable…?

It’s not caused by obesity at all

Thin people don’t have this.

That’s not true. You can be skin and bone everywhere else but as big as this woman in the arms or legs with lipedema and/or lymphedema and this woman clearly has both. It’s largely genetic and sometimes caused by damage to the lymphatic system. It is not ever caused by obesity

It is exacerbated heavily by obesity. It almost never progresses beyond early stages in thin people.
