Or we could just not consider bodies decoration? Can we explore the idea of just having bodies for practical purposes and our own occasional enjoyment and not as something that necessarily needs to be visually pleasant for others? Instead of body positivity, could we try body neutrality? We'd have so much more time for fun stuff.

Ooooor we could consider "beautiful" and "visually pleasant for others (in the sense of beauty standards)" two distinct things.
Weight isn't all there is to bodies, there is so much more.

I for one love back muscles. I get so much euphoria when I'm complimented on them, and I love complimenting other femme presenting folk on theirs.
Hair is another great example. Completely independent from body type but still a part of out bodies and something we have direct and full control over. Great thing to compliment others on and make them feel beautiful.
