“Oh dear ... I just clicked through to the article and saw the photograph of Kirstie. The hog thing is perfectly applicable. Wow.”
That is not nice! While I have never had that kind of weight problem, I have a friend who has struggled for years with her weight. It’s not easy especially when people judge them without not knowing the person personally. I feel really sorry for her because she’s in a business that does want everyone to be thin. I wish her the best of luck! I know how hard it is to just lose 10-20 lbs!
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.
