Effective at what it is used for? I don't know, does it feel good to delight in the suffering of others when you do it Pj? You miserable fuck. What a terrible way to think.

You are so eager to punish, it is a sick trait.

Schadenfreude is all it is. It is never employed to help anybody. Anybody who thinks they are helping somebody by shaming them is probably pretty unhappy themselves, or at least have miserable children.


I have a person in my life who is morbidly obese .

To be frank i dont care what you think about the situation ... and i am willing to do whatever it takes to make them see that this person is eating themselves to death.

I dont even care if it causes this that person to think im a piece of shit and never talk to me again if it saves their life... its a worthwhile sacrifice .

This quote rly made me think

"This advice to avoid fat allowed the food industry to go hog-wild promoting low-fat, carb-heavy foods as 'light' or 'healthy,' and that's been a disaster for public health"

Really what it boils down to is we need smaller portions ... less processed garbage food . More veggies and fruits

And people need to do 30 mins or more of physical activity a day.

And give up shitty drinks for water



But i want to give that information in a way that works .

not in the usa
if someone wants to be not fat they'll decide for themselves. Saying lol fatty isnt going to help or nor convince them to ease up on freebasing gravy.

I'll cease trolling for a single post for the sake of your friend:

No. No it isn't. I have a friend in a similar situation and the two of us have been going to the gym for a year and a half. He's gained a tremendous amount of fitness and lost some weight (diet still an issue but he started the diet I recommended and in 2 weeks he lost 7 pounds). And you know what would have turned him off completely from the idea (and probably destroyed our friendship, causing a downward spiral for him that would have ended in terrible health consequences from eating or self harm)? Shaming. You know what works? Supporting.

Basically whatever your first instinct on any issue is, do the opposite.

im not familiar with canadian culture so cant help. i will say with all that poutine available it would be more of a challenge to be not fat if one were already fat.

How did you get this person to go to the gym with you ? Or approach the subject of fitness in a way that they didnt immediately become defensive

Why is how someone else lives their life your business to belittle them for?
