That was my point too...I deal with a junk food addiction on a daily basis. Successfully 90% of the time.

Even if, as this woman says, she didn't really mean it, to seek attention by saying something of this sort shows something wrong in the head.

Substitute alcohol for food in that scenario - complete with the enabling spouse - and the headspace involved gets really scary.

If she got help and still happened to be plus-sized, cool. I know there are a whole whack of people who frequent clubs with plus size people and the people who go to 'pick them up'. There is self acceptance and acceptance by others, and then there is promoting and encouraging more of the behaviour that is bound to end up badly for purely physiological reasons.

Poor kids!
