Hi all -

Anyone listen to this NPR radio show? This weekend there was an episode about obesity. A woman talked about society's judgment, a second woman who is "super morbidly obese" talked about the mental/emotional toll it takes just navigating through the world, and a third woman talked about her inner conflict about losing 100 lbs.

Was really well done and provided some perspectives you almost never hear out there.

If you haven't are are interested, it's here and via podcast:
