Because in almost all cases, gaining weight :marseyoverheadpress: is a symptom, not the root of the problem. It's not cruel to care about someone's health, but mentioning to someone they gained weight :marseyoverheadpress: and you care about their health is not solving anything. Fat people know they are fat. The sister :marseygirl: knows she gained weight. Telling her to stop eating :marseywillnever: is not helping her. Asking if something :marseysmugface: happened or if she has maybe :marseymight: other physical symptoms is caring about her health. However well intended it is when people say they care about the health of an overweight :marseychubbbase: person, it's rarely really :marseythinkorino2: about their health, but rather about the weight :marseyoverheadpress: and their own fear of being fat. I'm not saying that being overweight :marseychubbbase: is not a problem, it definitely can be. I'm just saying that people worrying :marseysweating: about fat people rarely do because they don't want them to get diabetes, but because they should :marseynorm: want to be a "healthy weight :marseyoverheadpress: "

it's hard for people to notice :marseychingchongattentionseek: their own weight :marseyoverheadpress: gain/loss since they see their own body every day. weight :marseyoverheadpress: gain is incremental. having someone point :marseytedsimp2: it out before :marseyskellington: it gets worse is nice.
