No one changes themselves until they want to change. All that however, has nothing to do with the individuals choice to be morbidly obese and unhealthy. At some point, an adult is supposed to act like an adult and take responsibility for their actions and decisions.
It shouldn't be a crime to say "you're fat" - when its a blatantly obvious fact. Tom Cruise is short. I seriously doubt he runs away and cries every time someone says "wow, i thought you'd be taller". No one has the power to hurt you unless you give them that power.
You want to know how many fat people get picked on for sincerely trying to lose weight in a gym? ~0-ish.
How many obese people get picked on in a restaurant after downing 3000 calories in a single sitting each day? probably quite a few.
Being obese is a choice.
Part of the consequence of that choice is being unhealthy and being looked at by society as an unhealthy, gluttonous person.
We shouldn't be looking at society and sending they message "hey man, be very careful not to let the morbidly obese women know she's morbidly obese"

You don't *need* to let the morbidly obese woman she is obese. You think she isn't aware? And it's your 'job' somehow to 'save' her from a sad life of obesity? l o f l. Too many people spend way too much time worrying about other people, and in many cases those are people they don't know, or ever will. Wtf do you care whether someone is obese, a smoker, skinny, or whatever. And just wtf has it got to do with 'society' if a person *is* unhealthy and gluttonous?
