Nah, not a BAFer. Most of us will say it before someone else does. I guess it's a carryover from childhood . . . make a joke/statement/comment about myself before someone else does.

I'm not a vet however if one of yall see me doing the fool let me know....for me eating done unconciously (sp) and I sometimes I need that nudge. To me a real friend isnt going to duck in the corner b/c they don't want to hurt my feelings. They gonna be like nicca cut it out and bring me back to reality.
Nope wouldn't say a word!!
I HOWEVER have seen some on Meet and Greet pics posted that, I didn't realize their size because most shots put on the board and their page is from the neck up.
You my dear (Mack) was smaller in person than I imagine. As you can probaly tell I put on black to TRY and not show my extra little package.

Hey MM:
What You are asking is a Life Long Question: Am I My Brother's/Sister's Keeper? What does Scripture say about that?
I am NOT a "vet" yet, but honest to GOD, if I saw My Brother or Sister hitting a pipe or drinking a pint of liquor everyday or drunk and driving or tipping with a MF and about to destroy their 25 year marriages, I WOULD Tug their coat tails. THAT IS how obesity is to US, it's an addiction/a malady! If they don't heed the warning that is up to them, but I gotta give a sound warning; maybe even more than once if it gets progressively worse. My Goodness, WE know that when we gain or regain weight, we also Gain all of the MISERY back in our Lives...we gain back waaaay more than just pounds! How can you say you Love me and not come to me SINCERELY - out of Love and warn Me.
I PRAY I will surround Myself with Support who will say out of Love: Check Yourself before the Results of obesity checks You.

You nailed the crux of it . . . "My Brother or Sister". Every person does not fall into that category, and meeting you does not translate into knowing you. If I know and love you, we're going to have that talk.

You are right. But to beg the question more, as asking "who is my neighbor?" I guess that is why there are such things a Moral Dilemmas and Paradoxes. I guess we come in here and call each other "Family" " Brotha/Sis" only because of the color of our skin, or as in some places they say "Family" because they have one thing in common...but it really means Nothing.
But really, what does it cost to tell someone, with Sincerity, they look like they are gaing weight or that they are on the wrong track with their concepts about WLS and eating. Some people need to Crash before they "get" it...THIS IS NO GAME and NO JOKE! But to sit back and watch them Burn; isn't it worth a cussing out to possibly save someone's Life ( emotional, mental, psychological, financial, professional, social, and physical - because the physical well being is usually NOT the first thing to go.)
See, that's the thing...usually only people who are close enough to a person knows that they have/or are gaing weight...most people don't pay that much attention to say, "you have gained 10/20/30/40/50 lbs.
Frankly, if someone comes on the Internet, in a Forum like OH, they are consciously seeking all the HELP they can get! If someone says, "I have gained 40 lbs..."they are YELLING for HELP on this Site. If they say I am Stalled or I am having this problem or that problem relative to my weight ...they are seeking HELP, ON THIS SITE. If they did that on on ESPN.com, then you know they are Clowning, but when they say certain things HERE (in the OPEN), related to weight loss...They want HELP!(and if they are Posting "fat" pics (w/o a new Resolution) and their "Friends" know they are gaining...that's a cry for HELP (consciously or unconsciously.)

For me, BAF does evoke familial feelings. It's not "nothing", but it's not everything. It's BAF. Individually, it's whatever we need or want it to be.
As for the costs, that's an interesting question. If at it's base level, every person who comes here is seeking help, then things would work as you've stated. We know that's not the case.
To your point(s), however, I'm guilty of making the universal mistake of assuming someone else will tell them; unless of course I know and love them.
It's a conundrum.
