I did want to raise a healthy debate and I knew it could get tense. As a person who has suffered from depression and has both nearly stopped eating and overeaten in different times I can see what a complex situation it can be for bigger people. However there is a point where you have to see that your over eating, never getting out is going to kill you and be a burden to others and your family if you don't make a change.
