Hey... come on now, fat people need loving to, its unfortunate that friends and family dont say what they feel.
it sounds like the person has a low self worth, with good coaching and being told that they have worthy personal traits, maybe this would encourage them to be more healthy, no one likes to see a young person eating themselfs to an early grave
P.S for your information, im not fat, I have an over active thyroid gland that burns up fat fast, whilst this is good for me and prevents me from getting fat I feel sorry for people who just have to look at a donut and they gain a couple of pounds. hmmm heavy topic, (no pun implied.)
