The cure for this is empathy.

What am I supposed to feel empathy about? That someone eats so much they are fat and aren't doing anything to better themselves? I'm supposed to empathize with that? No thanks.

Thing is , you can understand that what somebody is doing to themselves is harmful and still empathize with their struggle. Whether they are eating garbage food and gaining weight, chain smoking, heroin addiction, terrible money habits and so on they are doing something bad and need to change.

My brother used to smoke, and everybody gave him poo poo about it, except me. Now I wanted him to quit just as bad as everyone else but I wasn't about to be condescending about it. I never got addicted to tobacco and didn't know what it was like, so I'm not going to be all "Just put the cigarette down" and be all :smug: that I'm not so weak willed that I have to suck on tobacco smoke just to get through the day. It turned out having someone that supported and empathized with him had a much bigger impact than all the finger wagging ever could. He's been cigarette free for over a year. He might go back to smoking again someday, but i wouldn't want him to beat himself up over it. Nobody can force him to change, he needs to choose to. It turns out treating him like an actual human being instead of a retarded failure had a much bigger impact.

A person that is fat for a long time has given up on the idea of changing. Getting mocked and belittled just reinforces the idea that they feel helpless to do anything about it. Poverty, lovely health care and mental health services compound the problem further.

If you really want people to stop being fat, start treating them as actual human beings and not easy targets of scorn.

I think you are confusing enabling with empathy
