I had to force myself to read the whole thing. Fatlogic in absolute overdrive. The truth was so close to the writer and yet agonizingly out of reach!
Point 1 - so fat shaming causes cortisol rises in the fatties. They're stressed because they know they are disgusting fucks, but leaving that aside, the writer states that cortisol causes weight gain. Yet a few sentences later, we read that cortisol leads to overeating, binge eating and (therefore) weight gain. Muh hormones
Point 2 - the Harvard report that the writer refers to which apparently debunks willpower as having any relevance to weight gain states that things such as sedentary lifestyles and inflated portion sizes are factors in weight gain. Yeah. You eat too much and move too littlez, you will be a fat fuck. Eat less, move more. Willpower may be required for that if you are a butterbeast.
Point 3 - the doctors are right in their assumptions. Fats are lazy, have poor hygeine, are prone to (self-inflicted) illness and a general burden on the healthcare system.

Anecdotal evidence: I am always stressed, due to several different factors. I'm sure my body produces a shitload of cortisol. When I gain weight, it goes straight to my stomach. But because I maintain a BMI around 20, I still have a flat stomach. Fats are just lazy and will grab onto any excuse they can.

Except...thin people also have cases where their cortisol levels can get high during stressful times. So...bullshit.
