Bad day?

My intent was quite simple. As I said, quoting someone else, I'm glad that she was able to do what she has so far done. But as Appy pointed out, 400+ pounds at that height is still extremely unhealthy, so she still has a long way to go. Taking your drug analogy for my own, I'm happy that she's quit smoking crack, in effect, but she still needs to lay off the booze. And I see absolutely nothing wrong with pointing that out.

And I really think that I can speak to this personally. My father-in-law was killed by his weight problems - he died at the age of 47 from a stroke, a stroke brought on by his own morbid obesity. He collapsed and died right there on my living room floor, in front of my wife and his own grandchildren. At 5'2" and 400+ pounds, this lady is still morbidly obese also, and I really don't like to think of her family having to go through what we all went through over here.

So why don't you...no, I'm not going to give you an excuse to have this post pulled. But you can keep your sanctimony to yourself in the future.
