Educate them and inspire them that change is possible and that it is positive and I guarantee you that they will be much more successful than any shame-technique you can throw at them.

Good points. It also costs tax payers millions to pay for their medical bills.

Why is it ever okay to comment on another person's body? Why body shame them?

Sorry, if there is one thing I hate, it's body shaming. You see it all the time:

Let's at least stop telling people to love their bodies no matter how they look

I don't think he's commenting on a specific person's body. He's commenting

Having worked with hundreds of obese clients, I assure - shaming is not helpful.

Ashtrash

I understand what you are saying, and clearly you have experience in helping

People are much more likely to overeat in public.

Medically, we comment on bodies all the time and its appropriate

Medically, it is necessary. But fat-shaming or thin-shaming on the internet is

I'm not so sure.

It does for me.

So that explains why you come to Cougarboard.

So what's the point of "Godly Sorrow"?

Now imagine the opposite...

There is an image of a model in a "I beat obesity" shirt, but I'm not sure

AndyDwyer

Under that model, I bet people would start paying better attention to it

It may be an eating disorder, but its not based on the same thing

Tricky

It's just cultural. Doctors do not hesitate to comment on

Memmo

Disagree.

Hoosier Cougar

7/28/14 3:16pm

I'll agree with that. At least when it comes to the extremes.

Memmo

7/28/14 3:43pm

Do you really think we glorify obesity though??

Adam Carolla has some interesting ideas about this one

I didn't know how to link to this thread...but it's what got me thinking

Shaming is a tangential topic
