Wow just reading the responses made me not want to see the article.

As someone who has been overweight since age 8 or so, I would see extremely obese people and think, "God I do NOT want to be like them ever". I can't imagine. However, after gaining 40 pounds in the last years from the dialysis (and reaching my highest weight ever), I started to become concerned. I can relate somewhat to the woman who was having pains due to the heavy weight putting a strain on her legs. It is somewhat hard getting around sometimes (it's also due to other health issues).

It ain't easy folks.
