What a stupid question!!! Why is her weight even relevant?

I have a wonderful home and family, good social life and a job in which I may be seen, by some of the public, as an authority figure and am overweight Shock. It doesn't affect my work performance or my life as I'm sure it doesn't hers.

She's on TV 5318008, finding jobs for unemployed people. So obviously her weight is entirely relevant Hmm

Look, find a stone and crawl back under it, together with your trolly claptrap.

That is - if YOUR ass will fit.

God almighty. I've read some shit on here today, but that takes the biscuit. (did you see what I did there? Did you??)

Maybe she does have a medical issue. Or maybe she eats for emotional reasons. Or maybe she put on weight while pregnant and hasn't had time to lose it. Or maybe she just enjoys her food.

The crux of the issue, though, is that it's a) entirely irrelevant to her job and b) none of your business whatsoever. Bringing it up at all is judmental and bitchy, tbh.

I wasn't aware that she marketed herself as 'disciplined'. She is very good at helping other people to get motivated and confident so that they can secure employment. Her eating habits bear no relation to that skill.

YABU. Your question is nonsensical.

I usually just lurk but am so furious about the OP I must post. So does that mean only slim people can be organised and motivating? Rubbish.

So self-disiplined has to extend to every part of your life?

Does that mean we shouldnt employ any fat people as their weight shows how useless they are? If they cant keep skinny does than mean they are worthless in every aspect of life?

She was just one of many doing a recruitment-type job for the long term unemployed in the show last year. Luckily for the last series, she was great telly, chiefly because she spoke like a loon and wore odd air-hostess circa 1982 outfits. So this second series centres around her - so far so exactly like every other fly on the wall reality show.
I don't think she has set herself up to be anything - she was just the person who made the best tv and selected to 'star'. Should she have dropped 3 stone just cos she made it on t'tellybox?

Christ. MN is awful at the moment. What the hell has being overweight got to do with anything here? Utter crap, but then there are plenty of threads of this variety going on these days.

OP, if this is genuinely your view, then I despair. If you have posted just to get a rise (as I suspect), why bother? It really is quite dull.

Oh, and YABU by the way.
