That's one of the problems with asking someone to lose weight. Unless the one asking is an 8-9, the fat one is not going to take the request seriously.

It's part of the article that the person who wants change should be better of herself (or himself) or already committed to self-improvement. But does someone really need to look great for a partner "to take the request seriously"?

If I had to ask someone to take control of their weight, I would worry less about their body size and more about why they hadn't decided to take control themselves.

And the worst is when two fat people get married and only enable one another's bon-bon addictions, growing more and more corpulent together, 'till atherosclerosis does them part.

Here is the new article. Right, the readibility could be better. What about the content?
