I think the point of the original post was to reaffirm the fact that we must love ourselves *unconditionally* no matter what we weigh. To say that we will love ourselves more when we are thinner is not a true testament to unconditional love. Let me just add, that is WAY easier said than done. From reading the book "7 Habits of Highly Effective People," the author stresses that we need to have our core principles that define our attitudes towards life; these are INTERNAL principles that we adhere to, regardless. If we look to external things to determine our values or self worth, such as weight, we are bound to feel like failures. We will constantly be up and down, never having a good sense of what is important to us and what we know to be true. Look around you...there will always be someone greater than you...there will always be someone lesser than you...don't live your life looking for those lesser than you in order to feel good about yourself, to feel "love."
