like many, she might insist that obesity is a disease and that its genetic and like Melody on netpond two years ago might try to argue that its something that can't be controlled... only managed.
maybe she just needs sympathy and understanding.

I've said it once and I'll say it again - show me some identical twins where one is obese and one isn't and I'll believe it when people say it isn't genetic.
Even identical twins who grew up separate weigh w/in 10-15 pounds of each other. And there's no way they were all eating the same thing and exercising the same amount of time.
This is one of the things my brother studied when he was working on his PhD and it really is amazing when you look at it in that light.
