Trying to help fat people is a waste of time. So one of my friends has been steadily gaining pounds over the last year or two. He has incredibly skinny arms and legs but his abdominal pouch keeps growing.. We kept telling him he was getting fat and needed to lose weight. However, he said it wasn't fat under there and that he has a healthy BMI. The delusion was real guys. After some more subtle and less subtle fat shaming by friends and his mother he decided to start going to the gym with me, got a fitbit etc. He also wanted to eat better but he said he ate healthily anyway although he totally did not. He decided to make a 'healthy' Mac and cheese the other day. It was healthy because it was 'made from scratch'. A usual meal would be a ready made meal from the supermarket and some sugary drink. He couldn't even do one pull up at the gym but at least he was doing something about it right? Well, he went with me for two weeks and stopped going after that but still pays the membership fees. He still says he wants to lose weight but expects it to just magically happen or something.  I tried guys. I tried.
