You seem to be referring to the "mind games" to which I referred in my
response. The one that comes to mind is to scare the hell out of them by
a frank listing of the facts, being over weight can lead to or contribute
to all manner of life disrupting disorders, not the least of which is
premature death, loss of limbs, heart disease, blindness, impotence in
men, kidney failure, strokes and others. But unless or until these become
realities most people will blow them off until it is too late, just as in
smoking and abuse of booze. The mind has the full ability to make excuses
and rationalizations and to cling to the exceptions,ie. "my grandpa lived
until 100 and smoked, until the reality of the danger of weight "smacks
them up 'side the head with a 2 x 4".
But your question is mostly irrelevant, only eating less and/or using more
calories works as the bottom line in everyone for weight loss unless some
disease is involved to cause it. When it works one might imagine a full
range of motivations that caused them to turn the corner to embrace this
basic biology of weight status.
