"I may be fat, but I beat my eating disorder"

[Mermaid]

My point is that people seem to think it's ok to talk about the bodies of other people, and I just don't think that's okay. At all. either way, good or bad.

I'm sorry but what a ridiculous fucking outlook this is.

If I had a relative or friend who was severely overweight and continued to stuff their face to the point of obesity and health complications, I'd see it as my duty not only as a friend or relative, but a fellow human being, to at the very least say something.

In your world nobody would say anything to anyone else for fear of offending them.

You call it judging. I call it caring.

You can actually approach the matter with tact you know. Just because you can recognise someone is at an unideal weight does not automatically make you a judgemental sack of shit, like you seem to think.

I'm probably at my heaviest I've ever been. I've had a couple of my friends mention losing weight. I don't automatically take that as though they're judging me. I'd be a dick if I did that.

Do you really think you can "care" someone into being a different weight or into adopting a healthy lifestyle as you see fit? Fat people know they are fat. It's not your job to inform them about how you think they should live their lives. You are delusional and have an inflated sense of self-importance if you think your unsolicited advice is necessary or appropriate.

People don't spend their lives justifying being fat. There are some things that you can't change. YES you can change your lifestyle and all that shit, but there's a reason more than 90% of people revert back to being fat after losing weight. Reminding people that they are fat only makes you look like a dick and can hurt people down to their very core.

Also, do not speak for me and what things in "my world" are like with regard to offending people. You don't know a fucking thing about me.

Unsolicited advice rarely goes over well with the advisee. It's your life though, so rock on.
