What's Wrong with People?

I work with this woman who lost some weight, about 20 pounds and she looks great, absolutely great and the weight lost suits her physique - she has a relatively small frame so the weight lost looks great on her. Her weight loss is a result of exercise (cardio and weight lifting) and eating healthier. Now who wouldn't be happy for her, right? Of course not everyone. Another person I work with happen to mention her weight lost to me and she actually said the following "I told her that she didn't need to lose that much weight, before she had some good size, big hips and looked healthy". I had to bite my tongue when she said this although I've heard her said before that "fat people are healthy" before. Needless to say, this woman is at least 60 pounds overweight and can't walk up a flight of stairs without getting out of breath, and she thinks that she is healthy! What the f*#$%! The sad part is that she really believes this! I really, really need to rant about this...

This is the same woman who for Thanksgiving Dinner her family had 8 regular sized pies (4 pumpkin, 4 apple and 2 sweet potato) to serve 10 people. Do you really need 8 pies for 10 people? This is the same woman who always asks for extra dressing when she orders salads. This is the same woman who every year (since 2007) says that she is going to start kick boxing. This is the same woman who stops for dinner at the food court at the local mall on her way home. This is the same woman who eats pork rinds? Whatever the hell pork rinds are or made off. You think someone needs to give her a clue because she is clueless!
