No reason to believe she is unhealthy without real measurements from labs.
Visceral fat has been linked to morbidity since god knows how long. We nowadays even know a little about the physiology of it. The labs are just markers for morbidities just as central obesity is. Visceral fat creates a state of inflammation in the body, which in turn results in tissue degeneration, including blood vessels and leading to atherosclerosis (+other CV morbidities) and metabolic syndrome. If the fat was deposited in her thighs or butt, then we could've talked about her not being as sick, because fat there is less active metabolically, but that is not the case here. She's being in denial because of fuckheads shaming obese people, is all.
