Small Talk: Everything's On the Menu

[SunnyBeBe]

I think I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m once again reminded of just how destructive morbid obesity can be.  Lately, I’ve seen some old friends and extended family members and it’s beyond concerning.  There’s nothing I can do about it….but they are young people….who have access to Ozempic and/or bariatric surgery.  I just can’t understand it.  
 

I recall the days the Slantons  were far heavier.  It does seem to run in families.  With my family, the parents are average size snd the children are the ones who are obese.

They'll have to pay me to watch these 2 inside the Episode episodes.
FF'd through, and they seem to be doing crafts.

Yes. I know people like this. The mom, who is 60-ish and her 40 y.o. son are both extremely obese. They have full coverage health insurance for permanent disability due to diabetes. Neither one is interested in Ozempic or losing weight. Thanksgiving dinner was honey baked ham, pumpkin pie etc. 

I guess the food addiction is greater than the desire to be healthy. But they're really nice, kind people, just very codependent.
