I got asked to leave a Weight Watchers meeting years ago for using the term obese.

One of the women was pissed because her doctor wrote that on her chart. I pointed out that it was a clinical term, and that pretty much everyone in the room was probably morbidly obese.

They did not think that was “supportive.”
