Thank you and happy chatting!
The whole message from OP is that she should not feel shame for it, not that OP wants to help her lose weight. Flipping from "no you're absolutely fine the way you are, this is mostly outside our control" to "hey lets go for walks" kinda undermines the sincerity of "you are fine the way you are", when heard through the ears of someone insecure about their weight. OP literally said they are both putting in overtime at high-stress jobs and don't have time to exercise much. It's a sensitive subject and should be treated very carefully to avoid making the stress worse.
I'm not saying that they should or shouldn't pursue exercise, or that their weight is totally unchangeable, but OP didn't ask for diet/exercise tips, he just ranted about the people causing her stress (the ones making comments primarily, along with a generally misogynist and fatphobic society)
