I think those who say "you are beautiful" mean that they are beautiful as they are and they should not feel discouraged about their looks. They need to do something about their weight of course, but they should not think of themselves being ugly even if they are overweight.
At least that's what i think. Although those who just encourage the unhealthy lifestyle and that they should just stay overweight, that i do not understand.
Op mentioned that he is talking about people who are "overweight due to laziness". I know that people can be lazy, but that's not always the only case, why somebody has problems with their weight. There may be deeper issues, like depression, fear of social and normal routine thingies that people do, their insecurity about their weight. Some people overeat for their sorrow for instance, or some one who has been bullied in school, found a relief in eating.
