Sorry, it will be long !
First, a bitter note.
Amongst others, France has 2 characteristics : conformism and jealousy.
If you don't conform to the norm it is bad. You are a bad person, most of all a bad citizen.  So for fat people. They are an economic burden (economic science & France...). And if you choose to be different or not to fight your fault, it is very, very bad. French society can't stand deviant ones.
It is unconceveable that fat people love their bodies and are happy with them. You are not supposed to be happy in those abnormal bodies while good people makes efforts to stick to the norm. Jealousy. In a country where gastronomy is sacrosanct, you ought to eat sparsly (like portions in fashionable restaurants). It is bad to take pleasure alone in gourmandizing.
French often tackle Americans for vocal and sexual prudishness, religiosity and excessive patriotism. It may not be inaccurate but you know the Gospel story about the straw and the beam. In other words those who live in glass houses should not throw stones (or piss against the walls !)

And now, on a positiv note and for something not completely different, let me tell you my admiration for Fefe's girlfriend. To persue such an iconoclast approach in France denotes a open-mindedness, cleverness and a rare courage (or temerity...)  For a modest weight gain, she already had to put up with remarks of her entourage. And it will get worse. So if she chickens out in future, guys, be understanding.
But if she has the courage to send her family packing and reclaims the right to master and cherish her own body, what a achievment it would be ! It is a pleasure to see such a person with independence of mind and taste for sensual adventures. Not to mention that cheerfulness of youth and imagination.
Be courageous, girl !
Chapeau !
