You are Fat vs You need to lose Weight..

Completely depends on the individual you are dealing with.

 

Some people respond best to soft encouraging approaches. You need to lose weight, you can be healthier and feel better etc. Some people though do need tough love where you tell them point blank "you are overweight/obese etc". They don't respond unless you are tough and blunt.

 

However, you will always have people no matter which approach you use who will get offended and wallow in self pity. You will always have people no matter what approach you use who will care less and live and do as they please.  

but....but...but...they need to lose fat because they are fat - right🤔

uptil the eighth , I was kinda chubby, then one day I watched a match which had this guy:




It was my aim to get like this guy, so I worked out a lot! Although I only have a two pack 😆, I did lose a lot of weight, and am generally a more active guy.

The best motivation is self motivation. 😃

just gift them a mirror , that should make them see themselves for what they are, if they are ok with it then let them be

Agree with all that you say...

In my profession, I deal with a lot of people who are suffering the consequences of being fat such as diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure and I'm responsible for their 'better' health and they come to me for answers..such why am I on so many medications, or why do my knees hurt?

 

So I appraoch them with solid facts and data such as if you lose 5% of your body weight you may no longer need meds for yr Blood pressure..and that has worked.

 

But yes, the key is Self Motivation!!

 

And yes, I'm a physician:)

 

It depends on whether the person is close to me.. 😆 If it's my mom or dad or my best friend, I'd say "you're fat and so, you need to lose weight.".

If they're others, it's "I'm sorry if this offends you, but I think you need to lose weight" .. or it completely isn't any of my business.

 

But the best is self-motivation 😃 If we care so much for that fat someone, we can also find ways to make them realise that they're obese and hence need to lose weight for their own good. :)

Here are some of the ways:

1.Buy them extra extra extra extra large clothes on special ocassions.
2.Order thin crust pizzas,low fat foods for them on your birthday.
3.If you're a hot girl and your guy friend is a fatty, wear a t shirt which says "Slim guys are bangable"
4.Or ask them to walk with you and they'll realise how much they need to lose weight when they pant like dogs 😆
5.Take them to subway everyday.
6.Or have a mega outing with all your friends and call only thin friends, then the sole fatty will feel like buring those calories. 😆
