Standing at the Candy/chip machine buying at least 3 items... her hands are full with 2 bags of chips and she is looking for more.... I wanted so much to say something but did not

Would you say something? I am thinking I should not be wanting to say something as everyone has there right to do what they want, they want to die from diabetes that's there choice... but ,When you see people killing themselves its hard not to want to say something....


thoughts?

Would it do any good to say something? No. She already feels pretty bad about being obese. If that isn't enough to want her to stop, a comment from her co-worker certainly wouldn't have any affect either.

well I think it would just hurt her feelings and probably not help her or give her that push to lose weight..it would probably get her depressed and make her eat a couple gallons of ice cream and god knows what else

not any different than watching someone smoke.....you may "want" to say something, but it's not your place....they are adults, and can do as they choose.....if they ask, thats different, but chiming in, will probably only make them feel worse

several posters suggest that you could make her "feel worse". it's quite possible you could piss her off too. giving unsolicited advice to a fat co-worker about snacking is harrassment. sad but true.

i don't ask smokers if they need help quitting... i don't tell degenerate gamblers that they're ruining their lives... why? because they're adults, and i realize that i have enough of my own shortcomings that perhaps i shouldn't even suggest to others how they should live, since i'm clearly unable to control my own demons.
