No. As a person who was extremely obese, I realize that this attitude was exactly what was needed to get me to lose weight. I am now at a reasonably healthy weight and realize that every excuse I ever made as an obese person was incredibly stupid and lazy.

I hope you learn that not everyone thinks the way you do. Shaming (on average) doesn’t help people lose weight, it actually adds to their stressors which can lead to weight gain [1].

So if you continue to do it, fine, but be aware you’re being an ass, and not a helpful one.

Thanks. I gave up trying to get this through to people here.

What's even more sad is seeing so many of these comments directed by people who proudly announce where they work and what they do. Not even an ounce of shame to not do this from their identity attached accounts.
