Don't be cruel regarding this woman's issues - she feels she has nothing else to offer since she cannot live up to the standards of beauty. Those of you who have never had issues with weight do not understand. It's not as simple as "go on a diet" or "just stop eating so much". As with any addiction, there are both organic and psychological issues that must be addressed. And sometimes it can only be "corrected" to a certain point. There is a huge prejudice for fat people and it makes me sad. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/frown.gif

Yes, I know first hand about this. I was on the receiving end of many prejudices and it's not pretty (pardon the pun). Now that I'm working towards getting my weight down, I feel much better, not for losing the weight, but for believing that I'm worth it.

As much as I hate my boss from H, I still wouldn't want to quit my job, stay home and get paid to sit around and eat. I don't know, there's just something so wrong about that. I do pray that eventually this girl gets the help she so desperately needs.

Amen. The stereotypes just run amok when it comes to obesity. Everyone has the answer for the one struggling with their weight. Frankly, if the one's answer WAS the answer for all, wouldn't all be doing it by now?

Having a laugh at another's expense is wrong. No matter how you dress it up.
