"That is not nice!"

For some reason you think that I don't know that? It was not meant to be nice and sweet. 300 lbs. is way past having a struggle with weight. Kirstie does not have a 'hormone' problem, she has a problem with backing away from the table, as her tweets mentioned in the article clearly indicate. If she likes stuffing her face THAT much, me mentioning the hog word isn't gonna bring her world crashing down. I suspect that she knows she's a hog.

I too had a morbidly obese friend. This funny, smart, kind and loving person didn't live to see 40. Don't lecture me on 'knowing the person'. Been there, done that ... got to buy the cemetery flowers.

I know quite a few seriously obese folks. Most really do eat far more than their non obese counterparts. But for some reason, whenever they bring up weight issues, they ALWAYS claim its not caused by eating too much.

The last time someone said this to me, they were eating a pint of ice cream after downing an entire pizza.

Soooo... the biggest problem seems to be that many are in DENIAL. Perhaps the real treatment for obesity isn't a diet program or a fad exercise, but therapy. Its a mind issue.
