I have never been obese, but a few years back I put on quite a lot of weight. And I didnt even know about it, I still looked the same to myself in the mirror, until I saw a photo. So I would think thats not too uncommon :/

Perhaps, but I really honestly can't take on board seriously that when a person puts on weight, has to go out and start buying bigger sizes - that they don't realise they are putting on weight or didn't even know it. they might not realise quite how big they are - but they certainly know they are getting bigger.

it's not until the lose the weight that they are able to see HOW fat / how overweight they had become: but as I say: they (not getting at you, I mean generally) - there is no gettng away from the fact that having to buy clothes in bigger sizes - tell the person that they are getting fatter.
