Yes, you can be happy if you're fat, and you can be unhappy if you are not fat. Weight has nothing to do with it.

I've known happy and unhappy people from all sizes and genders. I feel that like children, your natural state should be happy, unless there is something that causes the unhappiness.

So I suspect if someone was really bothered by their weight, that might be a cause for unhappiness, but if they don't care, I don't see that it would affect their happiness.

In other words, happiness and weight are neither mutually inclusive nor mutually exclusive.

I haven't watched TV since the mid 1980s but I doubt if any TV is "reality" - even the news is skewed with a showing by Polifacts that Fox and MSNBC both have a falsehood rate of over 90%. In other words, they lie more than they tell the truth.
