She'd be far happier in this thread.

"Has never worked because she's too self conscious" yet is happy to have her photo and an article about her in both the Mail and the Sun?

To be fair I think she's on the right idea, doing some exercise is probably a better solution than getting a gastric band fitted. However signing up to some gym classes (which they seem to have refused despite offering them to others) would make more sense.

Offered to someone who is size 16, i.e. somewhat overweight, rather than size 28, i.e. a hippo.

True but there are classes for the larger types. There was an Aquarobics group that used to use the pool before my dive club, they were all scarily large but able to do a lot of exercise without the risk of injury due to the support of the water. The instructor on the other hand was stunning.

Very good thread title, well done.

It was only standard 3 meter deep pool but the rest is accurate

Often in the Daily Mail there are photos with the protagonist standing around with their arms crossed in front of their chest.



Well, at least she tried.

Why not? Would be cheaper then surgery, and cost a lot less in the future. And it wont be for 2h/day, so the nhs funded fitness worker could see 6,8 patients a day.

Kid looks like a joey.

What a ghastly excuse for a human being. She's apparently asking for a free personal trainer, as if that will somehow change anything, I suspect she doesn't realise that a trainer doesn't actually do the exercise for you.

I don't understand why obesity is encouraged by paying them extra benefits and offering them operations and special treatment etc to solve the problem, that money could be far better used to help people who are ill through no fault of their own. If she lived outside in a cardboard box for a while it would do her a power of good, lets face it she's hardly going to starve or freeze to death for quite some time.

I do hope she doesn't get given benefits - "too self conscious" is not a good reason not to work.

As for a personal trainer - she can walk around the streets and lose weight if she wants. It is free too.

I agree in this case as it appears that she has made an effort already;
"Since being offered the operation 14 weeks ago she has lost 4-stone by herself after going on a juice diet."

Mentions that she can't afford the £50 a month gym fees.

There are a lot of superbly equipped budget gyms for around £14.99 a month or, if money really is tight go for a walk.

How do you get so fat at just 30? I'm 28 and am pretty sure, even if I ate pies all day long, I wouldn't be as fat as her. What a beast.

She has the Perfect storm

Poor genetics
Gland issues
Big bones
A feeder for a partner
Generous benefits system
A doctor who will sign for her as "Sick"


Put all the above together with a group of friends who will constantly re inforce her belief that she looks lovely and there you have it.

"Too fat to have ever worked".

Give her a phone call. If she picks up and answers, she can work in a call centre.

Couldn't get there. Can't waddle. I guess if it were downhill she could roll but then there is the return journey.
