In my early 20's I met at a party one of my parent's friends, who hadn't seen me for 4-5 years since I'd left home for university and then my first job. He squarely greeted me with "Crikey, you're starting to look fat".
It was completely out of the blue, and really hurt - initially - but it sank in and became a turning point. After that point I started eating less and realised I could no longer just eat whatever I wanted without consequence.
His unusual honesty has had a direct positive effect on my health, and then indirectly those around me.
