You can’t go cold turkey on food like you can alcohol, drugs, cigarettes and other addictions.

Maybe she should consider dressing in a Burkha.

She is fat and needs to lose weight. Women should not be fat.

Much more dangerous than they let on. My friend’s wife died from one.

The country is shallow. You look inside the person. You never know what they have been through, what battles they have fought.

I had no idea the French were still so rigid in their definition of what’s acceptable and what’s not acceptable. These are the same people yelling at Americans for being so ‘intolerant’.

I’m glad for her that she is finding greater acceptance while still being herself. Were this girl my sister or daughter, I would have told her to move out of France. She had a better time in Spain, why not go there for a few years? Maybe she never had enough capital to conduct that kind of career experiment. Those remarks from supervisors at her jobs were enormously cruel and inappropriate.

Yes they are. I know someone that almost died from one. And this was years after the surgery. He had internal bleeding, had to have blood transfusions, etc. He almost died.

And others that I’ve known to have it done aren’t successful for that long. A few years later they gain it all back.

Try being barely overweight (by western standards) while in China.

I can get a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass totally for free from the V.A. Nope.

Is that her? She looks Polynesian, maybe Hawaiian.
Many Samoans become large as adults and will always be large, no matter what they do.
Their bones are bigger and more dense than most other ethnic groups. Just make the most of what God has given you.

The French are rude, ungrateful, and petty? I’m shocked, just absolutely gobsmacked.

She’s one good-sized heifer. A little plump is one thing, but she’s digging her grave with her fork.
