I wonder if SIW's would offer this advice to aspiring accountants who will deal with helping people get out of debt.

If you want sympathy, call a friend. If you want real help, get a professional.

Fucking hell, THIS.

This goes for idiots bitching on tumblr about whatever the latest trendy thing to get triggered by, triggers them.

I recently got bombarded by people for simply telling someone who had a panic attack over a boss in a fucking video game to get help, instead of exposing themselves to it even more by crying on the internet.

Just out of curiosity, which boss?

You could sugar coat it, but they'd eat that too.

Hence it's difficult for me to sympathize with fatties. Most medical workers can't do that either even if they are forced to take sympathy training to the obese.

I sympathize with medical and emergency workers. They will put aside their personal feelings and be professional carers of even the most difficult obeasts, even at risk to themselves.

If that isn't commendable I don't know what is.

Ah sympathy. Sort of like when an animal is badly injured and you have to kill it.

Putting them out of misery you mean. It's like fats want enablers to make them happy. If that's the case, we'll have their enablers sign the DNR and we need liters of anesthesia to put these fat fucks out of misery through euthanasia so they can go peacefully. Too bad in every obesity related case as far as I know, fatties would rather live in suffering over their 6 slices of pizzas than to die peacefully and painlessly. Not to mention, there are state laws of what constitutes the qualifications for DNR yet being a fat cow who rather eat themselves to death than to stop eating doesn't require a DNR.

When I was the only first aid certified worker for an office of 200 people, I was terrified of having to try to CPR a wheezy sack of lard. Those things could go at any minute.

Because heart disease and type 2 diabetes is so concerned with people's fee-fees.

Yeah! You tell 'em! My weeping sores don't have anything to do with me being 478 pounds "overweight". And you deserve that seventh Big Mac.

When I go to a specialist, I couldn't care less if he makes me feel warm and fuzzy or if he had the exact problem I am seeing him for. I want solutions, and I want it to work. Unfortunately, you are dealing with people who haven't gotten to that stage yet.

Fuck the feefees. Dieting is black and white- consume less than you burn.

So they finally admitted food addiction is a thing? One step closer to admitting that is their own weakness and lack of self control.

Holy shit no. Just no. I'm a heavy smoker, if I visit a doctor who doesn't make a big deal out of it then I can't trust anything that doctor says. Your job is to tell me how to stay alive and healthy, not make me feel good.

My advise is come here to FPH to unleash your true feelings about bariatric patients. In person, you don't have to coddle them and sympathize with them, but partnering does work best. The way to partner is to ask them what their health goals are. Even if they don't mention "lose weight" as a goal, they will mention other things like "take less pills" or "be able to play with my grandchildren." Then, you ask them a series of questions to slowly lead them -- like idiotic children -- to the conclusion that losing weight will help them meet their goal. I recommend the book "Motivational Interviewing." Keep in mind that fatties are dense and stubborn. You can give them all the accurate information and education in the world and they will simply not get it, so don't even bother unless they ask. They have to want to lose weight for their own reasons, or they will just do as they do. This process is so slow and stupid, you'll want to scream at them. Just try to remind yourself that you're doing jedi mind tricks on them. And come here to vent.
