Unhealthy people know that they are unhealthy.
Therefore, obese people know that they are obese and (if they are being honest with themselves) know that they are putting their health at risk. With the assumption that they are obese due to poor and overeating and not exercising.
I talk about health and fitness all the time and eat pretty healthy. If I had obese friends, I expect for some of my lifestyle to wear off on them without my having to initiate a discussion on obesity. I have found that unhealthy and/or overweight people initiate conversations with people who they know are living a healthy lifestyle.
These convos tend to start with "wow, i see you eating healthy all the time/working out all the time. I need to start doing whatever you're doing."
My response is "well, go ahead and start doing it. There's no secret to it, you just have to do it and stick to it everyday. I can tell you MY health and workout regiment if you want but if you have any health issues or more than 40lbs you want to lose, I'd first talk to your doctor if I were you."
