I know that there are those whose medical history really does make it hard to lose weight. It's the ones who are clearly overweight and who complain about it all the time, yet do nothing to show they're doing anything to deal with it by therapy or exercise that really bother me.
Don't even get me started on alcohol. I'm so anti-drunken glory that I get plenty of odd looks from my college peers. I'm constantly encouraging and scheming ways to make smokers quit. Those who work constantly and get like three hours of sleep per night for a week, I send to bed, no ifs and or butts. I get called,"Mom," more often than not, which I'm sheepish about.
Sisterhood is about bonding with people regardless of looks or anything superficial. That love is precisely why I get fussy over my sisters -I want the best for them.(Good grief, I am turning into my mother.) Sorry if I came off all wrong. I seem to have a knack for that.

Oh, okay, well then I'm sorry that I misunderstood you.
I think that's wonderful that you care so much about people that you try to help them quit their unhealthy habits. There should be more people like you.
On the overweight subject...sometimes it bugs me when overweight people complain about it and don't do anything about it. But, food can be an addiction. I am a binge eater, which is a form of an eater disorder...perhaps milder than say, bulemia. But I'll eat something "bad", and I'll automatically feel fat, and horribly guilty, and I'll worry and fret about gaining weight just because of ONE BAD THING I ate, and I won't feel better until I work out. I HATE being this way, because I don't enjoy eating...I can't. I worry constantly about gaining weight.
