I've been told by overweight people in the past that pushing someone to lose weight and calling them fat just makes the problem worse. Losing weight is something that people really have to do to for them and no-one else, a bit like smoking I guess.
I got ill a few years ago and put on just over half a stone - it's not a huge amount to most people, but it made a significant difference to me. I can't lose it easily, as my illness means I can't really exercise or be active, and if I can't enjoy much in life, I may as well eat food that I like. It's always in the back of my mind, but since there's not much to do about it, I've pretty much just accepted my new figure. Just another perspective for you to consider.
