I really don't think so.

Yes, it is still kind of discrimination. But it is not the same. If it was, you would be locked up for calling someone fat in the street, like you would be for being racist.
Yes its EXACTLY the same. Its discrimination, pure and simple. Go up to a perfect stranger in the street and call them fat you will be arrested for harassment.
