Cathy..

There's a big difference between being plus size, even tho you might choose to be otherwise, than being intentionally morbidly obese.

This woman needs her head examined! She killing herself, and probably seriously endangering the welfare (physical & mental, present & future), of her children. CPS should step in and take those kids out of that unhealthy environment. They take kids away from hoarders until/if, they get their lives back in order. The same should apply here - IMO.

guess I'm looking for the reason and not seeing the act. Yes, she has to be very unwell to want to do that to herself, you are right. Still think it's sad.

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!
