My letter to NY Post
I quote "Your life has been taken away by your refusal to stop stuffing yourself with three pizzas at a time, lady. "
Horrible. You actually PAY this person to write? For shame.
Every overweight person I know has tried diet after diet and has failed time after time, gaining more and more weight with each failure. I did not see your columnist mention anywhere about Amy trying to diet and failing each one, only to get more and more depressed with each failure.
Obesity is a disease recognized by the medical community and treated as such by doctors and covered by insurance. This is NOT about willpower.
Perhaps next time your reporter can actually *gasp* interview some real obese folks who have chosen gastric bypass surgery as a tool to help them with their struggle to overcome their disease and live normal lives.
