Much self-aggrandizing, to nobody's surprise.


> I had a conversation about this with a psychologist, where I asked if the solution to this problem was accepting that the person is fat or encouraging the person to get healthy. He said that there was a need for both. Don’t mistreat the person but guide them correctly. Offer them acceptance as people. And from that situation influence the person correctly to result in the person doing the right thing.
