No. Body positivity does not claim that every body is perfectly healthy. It claims that every body deserves respect, access to healthcare, and the freedom to pursue wellness without harassment. You cannot tell by looking at someone if they are healthy. And even if they are not healthy, they still deserve dignity.

Accepting your body doesn't mean you don't want to be healthy. It means you want to be healthy for the right reasons . When you operate from a place of self-love, you are more likely to take your medications, go to therapy, get enough sleep, and hydrate—not because you are trying to fix a "flaw," but because you respect the vessel you live in.
