I thought fat people were "jolly"

There were times, particularly while I was carrying residual "pregnancy fat," that I was arguably obese. I never liked it and have done something about it twice. I ate it on and then worked it off. Me. When some people, like my doctor, told me I could stand to take a few pounds off, I was indignant. Beneath it all though, I knew they were right. So, when an obese woman in New Hampshire seeks a sanction against a doctor who (probably somewhat urgently) told her she was obese and that it was killing her, it makes me nuts. But that's what's reported in today's Toronto Star: Obese woman upset MD hurt her feelings.

That's it. I refuse to get started down this road because it leads nowhere anyway.
