I didn't take it as blaming her, but rather pointing out that how he would also be afflicted and its impact on her future.

Yes, she needed a wake-up call. I've already said so in this thread. Telling someone they need to lose weight or face the complications of obesity is not tactless and hurtful. Telling them, "You are going to die alone and fat," is.

He did NOT say "you are going to die alone and fat" - he inferred this in some fashion, yes, but the VERY POINT OF TACT is to infer something without saying it explicitly.
He did that.
