WOW! What a GREAT accomplishment.
Very happy that this woman is off to such a fantastic start!
Look at that, she is working now too... seems to me she is a good example for someone using some Federal Money to become less (or not at all)dependant on Federal money! Isn't that part of what conservatives want?.. for people to get OFF Federal Money? (I know, I know, she shouldn't have had it to begin with ) She is a story of success.
I guess I would expect people to be cruel to a person who is that obese. It just is strange to me that some people are still cruel after hearing of a such monumental accomplishment! (and yes I know she is still obese)
Reminds me of grade school.
Any other cynical comments, poems or stories to be added to this thread? We don't yet have any fat jokes or photos.. must be a slow day.
(Flame away)...

But Jeannette also has a part-time job with Domestic Violence Services and hopes to move into a new home soon.

Domestic Violence Services! I'd say she's still on the federal teat. How long would it take to pay $50 to $100 thousand, (just for the operation) in taxes, at a part-time job? She will never, unless she wins the lottery, come close to repaying what she has taken.

I agree completely. Sure, she's still technically obese at this point, but why would she stop now after she's seen how much better her life is with weighing less? I bet in a few years she'll be a regular size.

Congratulations, lady! You can't take it all off at once, so keep up the good work.
