Have You Ever Fat Shamed Somebody in Person....?? I have yet to do it and probably won't, but I feel the constant urge to yell, "Lose some weight!!" out of my car window when I see a ham on the street. Or even adding an expletive: "Lose some GODDAMN weight!" I run trails where 99% of everybody is in incredible shape, but sometimes I run a paved path that attracts some jogging fatties. I constantly want to say, as I run past them, "You can run all you want, but you won't lose the weight without a healthy diet too." Or: "There is a difference between good carbs and bad carbs. Google it."  Most hams who exercise usually only do it for a week before giving up. Or they only run 100 yards and then brag to their friends about how they started an exercise program. It's largely a way, as you all know, to create a rationalized food reward system. I've wanted to do more subtle shaming as well. An obese friend of my mom's has been on the Paleolithic diet (I know nothing about this diet and its effectiveness or if it's healthy) for six months and hasn't shrunk at all. I want to say, "You're obviously cheating" or even ask: "How many pounds have you lost?" She's always full of dieting and healthy food advice too: "You should never eat gluten!" I want to say, "I don't take health advice from overweight people."  Anyway, just wondering if anybody has crossed into just speaking the truth to their fat faces in person whether brazenly or nicely. If so, what has been the reaction? What have you said?
