So you'd passively aggressively let them know you don't find them attractive and you think that'll somehow motivate them to be healthier? Is this something you've actually tried? How do people respond to you "hinting" that you think they're too fat?

I can tell you how I responded to someone doing that

I started walking more, tracking calories, and I'm working towards losing weight. I want to be a healthier, better person

Can you describe how they hinted to you?

I never said anyone should be passive aggressive, or that they must make their interaction with an overweight person about themselves. I'm not sure how you made this interpretation based on what I said.

How do you hint to someone you think they're too overweight without it being passive-aggressive?

The point isn't to tell said person that they are overweight, but to push them to self-improvement. In some cases you don't have to mention that said person is being overweight at all. But if it benefits the person to be reminded, then it can be done in a good faith manner. It matters what your intention is.
