[quote=Anonymous]The conflict on this thread is caused by two different approaches: you have those who believe the answer is to gently cajole the person into lifestyle changes. I see this all the time on threads that have to do with people who are overweight. There are allegations of fat-shaming, medical issues, eating disorders, need for counseling and so on.

Then there are those who believe that much more is achieved by just confronting the reality: most people who are overweight eat too much, eat the wrong type of food and refrain from physical activity.

I tend to belong to the latter school. It is really not helpful to be enablers - under the guise of being sensitive - to someone who is fat. It does not help the person who needs to lose weight. Most people who are overweight know why they are that way.

I was overweight and one of the things I did was to avoid eating out as much as possible while I was working to lose the weight. Just about any food in restaurants is laden with calories and it is well nigh impossible to lose weight if one eats out a lot. Combine eating sensibly at home with exercise and most people will lose weight.[/quote]
