I think there are two ways to deal with being overweight (or being really skinny as I was growing up, which can be very detrimental socially for a guy), and that is either to accept your weight and love yourself as you are or do something about it and lose the weight (or in my case, build muscle). What I hate to hear is people making excuses for not choosing either one of those solutions. As soon as someone else who has the same afflictions you do conquers their weight issues, your excuses are rendered moot. Either learn to love yourself at your current weight or get to work.
