TD_washingtonredskins Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 18 hours ago, Destino said: here’s the thing, the older I get the more I realize that what works is what matters. Dumping on people for being overweight doesn’t create a healthier society. It does the opposite. It makes people withdraw, feel shame and stress, and grow defensive. All of that leads to worsening outcomes in terms of physical health and mental health. if the goal is to create a healthier society, the path is to create a kinder society. One where people don’t need to pour so much energy into defending who they are, and focus instead on becoming who they’d like to be. We don’t have to pretend obesity is healthy, but we don’t have to pretend physical beauty equates to a person’s worth either. I do like the sentiment here, but I also think that a good number of people are motivated in exactly the opposite way. I know that I have been in both getting into shape (more than once), getting my **** together in college, and getting out of a bad relationship as an adult. That's not to be misunderstood that I think we should shame people mercilessly for their shortcomings...but I do think that negative feedback and striving to improve works with a lot people. Maybe it goes back to how they were parented or something? I'm not smart enough to know that part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I don't understand how 'shaming' people or as some have put it, providing "negative feedback", is going to help push fat people to get in shape. I'm pretty sure fat people are more than well aware that they are fat - they don't need @CousinsCowgirl84 to tell them to "put the slice down" to know that they are fat. Like any other vices - smoking, alcohol, caffeine, etc. - folks will normally make moves to improve when they are ready to do so. Personally for me, both from a smoking and weight standpoint, it was when the doctor wanted to put me on BP medicine. That was the sign to get it in gear. For others, perhaps it's other things that push them in the direction to improve their lives. But I don't think for a second, for adults at least, it's because folks truly care what randos with their own vices think about them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A drill sergeant, good coach, will tell you everything you need to know, day 1. This is now forbidden. You're fat, lazy, out of shape. Now do as many pullups and pushups as you can do, and then you run because you're a bamma. Worked so well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, I don't think anyone likes being ridiculed or shamed for anything. But the reason you shouldn't do it, is because what business is it of yours? For example, I doubt you'd like it if randoms on the street ridiculed you for your Tesla tramp stamp when wearing a low cut shirt. But I don't think it would influence you to have it surgically removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the point you consider me calling out your general rudeness, dying on the bridge of defending fat folks. In public, I see a lot of stuff I don’t like, however like an adult - I keep my comments to myself and realize everyone has their issues, including me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
