Minimally, it takes a lack of empathy to open a tweet with "My sister is fat"
so I reinforced her fears that other gym members will mock or judge her. Very motivating.
As an avid gym-goer, I dont know why tf so many of them feel so compelled to belittle others for their weight. Everyone is there to feel good and improve themselves, why discourage them?
I suspect its an ego thing and punching down lets them feel superior. Gym people trend towards egotistical.
Also going to the gym is a terrible and extraordinarily difficult way to try to lose weight. If you want to lose weight you really need to go to the source and eat less
I recommend cocaine and tapeworms
Cocaine + the gym, incidentally, sounds like it probably would work pretty well. And also possibly kill you.
If you get cremated you lose a lot of weight
Its just water weight tho
Bullying often comes from insecurity. In the first place she believes (probably taught by parents) that unattractive people are unworthy and subhuman. Combine that with emotional abuse that undermines her self-esteem, and you get someone who desperately needs affirmation that they are part of the in-group and not one of the undesirables. Putting someone else down gives a momentary feeling of being above the undesirable group, therefore among the desirables, even though she knows deep-down that social acceptance can only come from others.
