One “stone” (I’ve never heard “stones” used) is of course 14 lbs. So the 22-stone example would be 308 lbs.

She hopes her appearance on the show will inspire others to love their bodies. She said: “Love yourself and just be who you are. Being fat is not the worst thing you can be. It’s just your outer case.
“I would rather be fat than a horrible person. I say I would rather have two chins then two faces.”
There is a legitimate point about your character being more important than physical appearance. But accepting who you are does not mean that you should not keep trying to improve yourself physically, mentally, and morally. There is a point where your weight becomes extreme, threatens your health, and impacts how others will perceive you. We shouldn't be rude about it, but if you weigh 300 lbs, people are not going to want to see you in a bikini.

The normalization of obesity is dangerous to physical and emotional health, and to our wallets.
When I glance a little too long at an obese person I am not judging her appearance but, sadly, envisioning her medical future - diabetes, heart disease, trouble breathing, early death. And then I get a little torqued knowing that my tax dollars will go to pay for her medical care and “disability”.

Well there are plenty of health issues with any fatness, deliberate or not. Food addicts. If they were crack addicts these hotel people would be enablers AND making money off the addicts.

“But I wanted to show fat people are not all unattractive and smelly. Why would she include smelly when the article was about APPEARANCE?
Methinks she inadvertently admitted something that I had not particularly noticed about fat people.
And while I know some pretty heavy people who are really nice and take care of themselves and and dress well, attractive, that kind of weight is not.

Those folks are in the 600 to 1,200lb range, not 300lbs. I weigh 325lbs, believe me, I know the difference.

"I would rather have two chins then two faces."
So.. Better than having the 2 (or more) chins AFTER being 2 faced?
