Does bullying help those that need to loose weight? 🧐 I think it’s a good method ….

No it does not work

Men do this to each other all the time


We CLOWN each other when one of us gets fat

Only works for moderately fat people.


For extremely fat people, it just leads to more stress eating, perhaps some misdirected self hatred as well.

Nah that bullying ting doesn't work. I find Positive reinforcement is more affective.

But I think you gotta take it case by case.

I wouldn't call my girlfriend a "fat ass bytch"

It mostly just accelerates people getting to a point of being honest with themselves about their weight and what they want to do about it.

the military as a whole has lost sight of the fact that physical fitness/exercise is a pillar of readiness....and the corrective actions they're implementing still aren't fixing the problems at their root cause.



for that girl in particular,i do believe that if it weren't for the instant dopamine hit she's gonna get from likes/comments about her weight loss journey....she wouldn't be as invested in it.

Why does the guy in the video look just as fat and is out of breath?

Different strokes for different folks. If someone was relatively fit and then started picking up some extra poundage recently, bullying might work on some “damn I didn’t even realize I was looking like that let me get on it”

For most obese folks, they are perfectly aware that they are obese and so shaming them generally just enhances self hatred they already had towards themselves. Positive reinforcement, necessity, and/or internal desire is what’s going to push these folks.

Depends on the age bracket. Men should definitely shame one another but reinforce it with tough love.

Rapper named blac youngsta

I remember him being portly himself back in like 2017. Like 5'8" 240 lbs, not the fattest but fat enough to wear a shirt in the swimming pool

I seriously haven't heard anything from from since 2018/2019

If obese people really have a food addiction then that'd be like trying to bully an alcoholic into not drinking

Plus I don't see why a balanced adult would engage in bullying period but that's me

No, bullying The Fats doesn’t work. They’ll just get defensive and their enablers and fetishists will form up like Voltron against you for “fat shaming” and “not being body positive” and liking “prepubescent boys”.


Positive reinforcement like @Givethanks said doesn’t really work either; they already get that (+) feedback loop completed when they stuff their gullets full of food.


The only thing that works to create a lasting change for them IME is something flipping the switch in their mind. Until that change comes from within, it’ll be the same old excuses and the same old failures at making changes.

Depends on the person
