As I said, you are entitled to your own thoughts and feelings. I have spent too much time helping people through eating disorders. They are extremely hard to treat and the damage is deep.
As an aside, my sister is quite heavy (300+) and it has been difficult to watch her struggle with her weight. It can't have been easy for her to grow up with a younger brother and sister who were naturally thin with no effort. So, I get what it means to be around people who complain about their weight and then do nothing to make it better. However, I have come to learn that this is THEIR problem and it's not up to me to *fix* it (though that is usually my MO).
