I don't think that's what Sherry's seeing. I could be wrong. I think she's just fascinated by the general weirdness of it. While she's looked past it to be a good friend with me, she still sees the whole weight gaining thing sort of like a train-wreck, it's awful, and yet it's interesting to see.

She does generally approve of my diet from a pure nutritional balance point of view. She is curious to know if the dietary needs of the obese have been studied at all, and if we need a different dietary balance than fit folk do. She has given an ear to my 'crazy' theories about the dangers of obesity being far more social than 100% physiological. (For example, many of the leading 'complications' of obesity are identical to the leading 'complications' of stress. Having every stranger give an opinion on what you should eat and why you should lose weight is VERY stressful.) So, she wonders if people of size (she's so polite) would be healthier if they ate portions of food more appropriate to their body type, rather than the mystical 'ideal' menu that various diet plans always focus on.
