Imagine that you wake up tomorrow and the diet culture has collapsed.
No diet products or new fad diets are being marketed anymore. Their space is taken by food commercials - mostly fast food, but also other types. Suddenly, everywhere you go, you see fat models, fat actors, etc. Experts are being invited to the TV to promote eating more and spending time on relaxation. Free snacks are being offered in workplaces, shops, etc. There are no longer low calorie/low sugar/low fat options in shops. Instead, you get extra caloric/extra sugar/extra fat marketed as something desirable and good.
Facilities that help you move less are everywhere. It's not just elevators and moving escalators now, it's moving sidewalks, wide chairs and benches everywhere. Mobility scooters are extra cheap.
It's not long before you start noticing changes in you, but also in those around you. In this new society, staying thin as a result of a lifestyle is almost impossible. You start packing on the pounds, but it's seen as something natural, desirable even. More and more, you see chubby and fat people around you, and soon it becomes hard to spot someone who's not overweight. BMI only still exists as a way to measure your milestones. You'd hear people around you congratulating themselves on reaching obesity the same way they used to cheer if someone lost weight. The clothing stores accommodate for these changes, of course. It is practically impossible to find size XS anywhere. In most shops, they start from XL.
Imagine your life in this new, fat society. You finish your remote job for the day, and you meet up with your friend afterwards. You heave your 300-pound body onto a scooter and drive to a special restaurant where every meal is 2,000 calories minimum. On your way, every poster you pass advertises food and hedonist lifestyle.
Your friend (who now weighs 350 pounds) arrives there on their scooter. Special assistants, who are chubby themselves, but not quite as fat yet as you two, help you into extra wide seats. The meal lasts for hours, and you consume thousands of calories, having the best time. You can't wait to weigh yourself the day after to see if you gained even more. You really want to outdo your friend and reach 350 by the end of the year.
How would you feel in this society, celebrated, encouraged, and spoiled?
