Shame can also be a motivator, it has an evolutionary role.
Being overweight is a series of choices. Not an immutable characteristic.
I’m a hard determinist, so I empathise with your viewpoint and it has merit, however, if you believe in free will, you believe the person has some agency.
Trust me, no fat person needs your help to feel ashamed of themselves. Whether it’s actually the case or not that there would be no other motivation to not be fat if there was no shame associated with it.
Also what difference does it make to you if someone else is fat?? It’s literally none of your business, why make it into a problem that needs solving?

Dawg I’m fat too. We’re not a monolith.
It’s good to promote health. Light pressure applied with empathy can be a good thing.
