Baby Right in the Feels Thread

[Ledboots]

In my job I have to talk to pregnant women about their prepregnancy weight, healthy gains during pregnancy, etc.

Since I'm doing it as a nurse, I'm just matter of fact about it. "Your prepregnancy bmi was 40. There are risks to you and the baby with morbid obesity. Here is a referral to a registered dietician. You can do this, and weigh less after the baby is born than you do now."

For family members and loved ones, no way. My husband got a pot belly a few years ago (craft beer), and when he said he needed new pants, I said "hmmmm why"? He said he had "grown out of them" lol. So we joined the gym together, and he's back to flat tummied. I never would have said that husband was getting fat, though. Or to my brother, who could lose a few.

thanks dr phillip p sherman wallaby way

this person has NO issues telling me I'm eating something bad or drinking too early or popping too many pills.
this person has made it MY business by constantly crying about their weight issues to ME
so they need to be told
just don't wanna be a total asshole about it

Then just say it however they say it to you. If they have a problem with that, fuck 'em.

 

[OzSTEEZ]

well if they KNOW they why aren't the doing something about it instead of crying about it

Because are waiting for you to tell them.

God you guys I swear

I get that you don't tell them they are fat

I'm asking: HOW DO YOU GENTLY TELL SOMONE THEY ARE GAINING WEIGHT

Invite them to play a sport with you. Play tennis, or hockey, or badminton (suggestions from the white guy)... or basketball, or ride a bike. Get them active and you'll achieve your goal without ever saying a word about it.

"and to make it even, I'll put on a 40lb backpack! You prolly weigh that much more than me right???"

Mine was a legit suggestion. Make it fun. Not challenging. just get them out and moving around and having fun doing it. They'll be more inclined to keep at it and become more competitive as their skills increase and they lose the weight.

Why does this mean Jimbob

i would do something abstract like say "hey, come over and watch porn."

Then all of the porn people are fat people.

When questioned say "What? I thought you were into this stuff now?"

 

[hydra]

the situation will resolve itself

nah... he/she is just full of him/herself.

 

[Petunia]

That's what it sounds like to me... Considering how much he's against children (his especially ) getting attacked on line I certainly hope he's not dragging my child into this
