you aren't scaring anybody, just coming off as a jerk that has a strong bias against obese and overweight people and in no way does it seem to come from a place of compassion towards your patients. Your tactic does not work, bullying, shaming, fear, put downs, making a person feel less, that crap will never work. Ask yourself this, do you really really care about these strangers and their health and well being ? Do you factor in their emotional well being into that picture or just a number on scale that you can belittle them for? It's ok, you got 100s of people giving you reddit gold, you won, you told the mob what they liked and wanted to hear, congrats man you won reddit. Enjoy that sweet karma doc. Just my opinion and I am nobody.
