I find it difficult to laugh at something that hurts so many people.
Anyway, the cynic in me is asking why they find a fat woman intolerable for Surgeon General, when "do as I say, not as I do" is the ubiquitous law of politics.
In my own opinion, I think someone who struggles with his or her weight has MORE moral authority, not less, to tell me that it's important to try to exercise and eat well. This person KNOWS that it's not easy.
There's nothing more irritating than someone who dislikes the taste of alcohol preaching about the repugnance of drunks, or someone who has always had the metabolism of a hummingbird to belittle the obese.
As you know, I lost a lot of weight quickly because of illness. This kind of scenario was typical: Person I Haven't Seen for Some Time: Wow, you look fabulous! Me: Actually, I've been very sick. *wondering why no one seems to notice my waxy complexion or bags under my eyes* Person: Oh. Well, you look GREAT!
