Mostly no.
If a person has confidence even though they have obesity, then that's a good thing as it shows how much they love themselves. It's also ok to show their confidence and spread an inspiring message saying 'Fat doesn't mean ugly or depressed' to those who are insecure.
However, constructive critical comments are always gonna be made saying "I appreciate the confidence but thats kind of unhealthy," and while it might make the person feel insecure, they either have a choice to start losing weight from working out and dieting, or just keep their confidence, but I'd lean towards option A like I did. Obesity can create certain health problems and even mental disorders, something I felt before like depression and fatigue, so I had to listen to what people say since I really wanted and needed to feel better, and I'm happy I did. On the other hand, it is their choice to either remain that way or do something about it.
Fat shouldn't be glorified however, thats whats really patronizing. Yes, we shouldn't body or slut-shame others like "Fuck you fatass," it only hurts people without help, but its also important to give constructive criticism and tips to lose weight. It's really patronizing for a lot of obese or recovered-obese patients that have a lot of insecurities about themselves, and saying "Being fat is good, stay that way," is really patronizing and makes me cringe and infuriated.
Your physical and mental health are related, and its better to take hard tasks like working out instead of being lazy playing Fortnite all day in the basement eating pizza or Doritos, its unhealthy, but its your choice.
