People generally understand they should not tell other people how to live their lives. Somehow, though, we lose sight of this when it comes to overweight people.
Since more than 60% of women and nearly three-quarters of
American men are obese or overweight that may occur quite often.
Whenever you have the urge to comment on what someone is
eating, ask yourself: Did they ask?
You will save the other person grief by avoiding a
conversation that is completely unnecessary.
People think they are being helpful with their comments, but
they probably don’t know how harmful or unhelpful some of that unwanted advice
can be.
Unsolicited advice signals to people that you have already made
a certain judgment about the way they look.
If someone asks for advice that’s awesome. Go for it and
give them all your knowledge. But leave everyone else alone.
