"You fat shamers are disgusting. Shaming doesn't work. You should be supportive and encouraging of people to help them reach their weight loss goals." This is why we shame. Playing nice and helpful doesn't work on these morons.

Shaming doesn't really seem to help either but it's way more fun.

I worked in a huge office for 2 years that held a Biggest Loser contest. Employees that wanted to enter paid $25, got weighed and at the end of 3 months the one who lost the most got the money. There was so much outrage from the fatties because the winner ended up being a skinny girl who only lost something like 3 lbs. But she'd lost the largest percentage of body weight. God, that place was grotesque. My friends never believed the stories I told them about it.

It's impossible to "buy out" a habit. There have been countless studies like these done in the past.

Stupid employers, stop hiring fats!
I used to run a small IT business, had at most 2 employees plus myself. I landed a large job, BIG, at least for me, and needed 3rd employee to make the deadline. Ended up paying my 2 guys more than a 3rd would have cost in OT because all responders were fats, not even "smallfats" VERY LARGE PEOPLE. Not even once. We killed ourselves to get that work done, but the money was good and a fat didn't ruin my small company reputation.

Nice! And fat is not, yet at least, a protected class. So ahead and legally discriminate away.

We get a health and wellness allowance at work. I was reading through my benefits package and bam, $2500/year for things like gym memberships, new gear, lift passes, anything active. I was stoked!
I started asking some of my coworkers what they got. Is their a good gym near the office? Who from the office goes biking on the weekends?
Not one of the fat fucks there used it. Free money for fun activities, and everyone just let it go to waste. If it was a $3000 fast food allowance that shit would have been gone by February, but free gym memberships, running gear or personal trainer time? Fuck no.
I got new running shoes, some climbing gear, new skis and a few weekend ski passes.

Losing weight will make you more attractive, less depressed, and overall healthier. All of those things lead to a longer, more fulfilling life. If they won't do it for those reasons, which are a lottery in themselves, why would they do it for money?

Or even more succinctly, if being able to wipe your own ass isn't enough motivation, money isn't going to do it either.
