Whats a matter with these 'obesity is a disease'/'feel sorry for me' fat peices of human gluttonous shitbags ??
Every person self medicates with something. Bodybuilders it's the gym, junkies with heroin, fat people with food. Everyone, whether it's healthy or not, self medicates with
something.No, it's not right that any fat person gets away with the "poor me, poor me" syndrome. But, they were most likely self medicating themselves with food because they lack(ed) in other areas, and the fact they kept doing so, eventually led them to not work on themselves and they only solved the symptom (eating food) and not the cause (why they felt like they needed to eat).
So, they continue to eat, and the feelings that everyone is out to get them persevere and the vicious cycle begins or continues. They get fatter and fatter, and others in their life enable them to eat and pity themselves.
When people get extremely overweight, and continue to eat for self medication, I have no sympathy for them. I'll be empathetic for them, but when they start complaining like your "elevator mama" did, then basically the ignore button is pressed and they are essentially removed from my vision.
