Great. In a thread with that woman being the focus I somehow manage to be more disgusted by some of YOU. Maybe you ought to look into the way addiction and eating the way a person like that does from an early age literally alters your brain chemistry. It's not as simple as "Just buckle up and try hard!" because for some people, their brains don't work the same as yours. You might as well be telling a guy with a busted knee to walk properly. There Is Nothing Left literally said the phrase "They're not human. They deserve nothing." Absolutely disgusting, shameful display. edit: www.nytimes.com/2012/01/01/magazine/tara-parker-pope-fat-trap.html?_r=2&pagewanted=all& for a little bit of reading on it. She's a food addict for sure (I completely understand this) - but the issue from the show is she was given opportunities most people don't get (the surgery, a doctor monitoring her weight) and squandered it by not exercising and eating fast food, even when locked up in a hospital. So it's less "She's disgusting for being an addict" and more "She's disgusting for throwing away an amazing opportunity that most people who are overweight will never get." At least on my side. Again, though, that can be part and parcel of battling addictions, and especially deep-seated ones that a person has been told is basically normal for their entire life. It's insanely frustrating, because you're breaking tethers that tie down a person's body, a person's habits, emotions, even brain chemistry. Addicts fail all the time, and the people offering help often feel there's nothing more they can do for them. That doesn't mean the addict will never succeed, though, and it's not an excuse to refer to somebody as "disgusting".
