    Do you know what the phrase non sequitor means?
    I don't. I'm off to look it up.

    "I am obese but perfectly fit"

    suppose someone posted this nonsense...
    Why would it be nonsense?
    Obesity and fitness are not mutually exclusive in an individual.
    You wouldn't expect them to go together in most cases, but there will be exceptions.

    And do you take "fit" to mean "fit and healthy"?

    Fit is such a relative phrase. My definition of someone being fit is able to run 5000 metres at a decent pace, walk 10 miles etc etc.

    I'm sorry, but there is no way you are going to convince me that obesity and fitness are compatible.

    And even less chance of convincing me obesity and healthy can co-exist.
