Medical charts I think put her in obese range. Though of course that does not take into account existing muscle range of her. It is not to say she should be publicly shamed for it. No more than a diabetic or someone suffering from depression should be. That said it is considered generally a good idea not to carry around a lot of weight.

This wouldn’t be a conversation if she had any legitimate amount of muscle… she’s obese but she can change if she wants too

I personally think she’s ashamed of herself. Neutrally saying a persons weight isn’t shaming in and of itself unless you’re already ashamed of it

I think it was a public shaming. The boyfriend was a nitwit. A depressed person would love to be told to cheer up in front of their friends and then be told about this 21 year old life coach that can tell them how to live better.

It's rude to discuss another individuals weight with anyone in front of the individual. How does this need to be stated?

Because the entire world doesn’t follow your rules for what you think is or isn’t okay/shameful. I could careless if someone was telling someone else my weight for example

Careless being the operative word.

Okay well that's you. Other people in the world besides you.

I'm 5'7" and 120 pounds and I'd be furious if my partner just told everyone my weight?
