My mom and I are weight loss coaches and I just said to her that I think we're too nice! Sometimes people need to hear the truth, even if it sounds mean at first. I think people will respect you more in the long run, because when they get over their initial anger, they'll acknowledge you were honest with them and have their best interests at heart. We don't do people any favors by telling them it's OK to be obese. Yes, you're still a valuable person, but you're putting yourself at risk for serious diseases and feeling miserable in the meantime. Thank you for the honesty. Let's continue to spread the word and help those that are serious! Like Rex said, "Don't be afraid to fail. Get the help you need and go for it!" Kari B.
