Is it ever okay to comment on a man’s big belly or ‘pregnancy’ look?

A worker came to the house, clearly in his 3rd Tri Mester... or is it "Mister"?

Reality is, was young, and full of abdominal fat... we all know men don't get pregnant... yet. A lot of ahMericans are obese and I was tempted to comment on his girth so he can start making changes. But I didn't.

Would you?

I would

I'd refrain on personal comments

Unless they're so bad off they're struggling for breathe why would you want to? You thinks it's really escaped their attention that they're fat? So what's telling them going to do? I wasn't losing weight about 5 years. ago. But i was also exercising every day. I didn't realize i'd developed sleep apnea. After 4 months and not a single pound lost i quit (understandably). Well when i quit then i started gaining. I didn't realize i'd developed sleep apnea. I couldn't lose weight when i exercise because i was loaded with the stress hormone cortisol. As soon as i got treated for sleep apnea the pounds started falling right off without me even exercising. This was an eye opener to how important sleep is in maintaining a healthy weight. As well as just good health in general.

The moral of the story is you never know what battle someone is fighting. They might not even know.

Sometimes people need a wake up call, encouragement, and new ideas. Else they get comfortable which is in cases, a death or disease sentence.

Point taken. Except i didn't need a wakeup call. I was arguably in the best shape of my life at that time. I wasn't overweight. I exercised daily. Why i developed sleep apnea,🤷‍♂️ I couldn't say. I might have been trying to lose weight, but i didn't need to lose it. My doctor was quite happy with my weight, i wasn't. I wanted to be leaner still.

it does help to find the root problems, and new ones pop up all through life. life is really a game of "whack a mole". glad you figured it out!
