Please don’t be hurt by what I’m about to say, but you (“Angela”) desperately need to learn how to write and spell properly. Part of the downfall of our society – in addition to fat people like me, of course – is the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue, as one Professor Higgins might say.

Again, no offense, you stupid twit.

Please don’t get hurt, but you really need to take a course in basic English. Look up “loose” in the dictionary. Learn how to spell “you,” “for” and “afterwards.” You must have known these things at one time. I can’t imagine that you flunked 6th grade and then dropped out of school. Perhaps it would help if you spent less time judging strangers and more time reading.

Oh, and the first name and phone number offer a world of possibilities as well. I’d be tempted to look up her address based on that information and have food delivered.

Bottom line, Godless Heathen and Anna are right, we need to respect body sovereignty and stop perpetuating the idea that we can look at someone, and see whether or not they are healthy, let alone comment about it.

Yeah, as far as approaching the skinny woman at the gym…no. Do not. If she looks like she has a problem that requires immediate medical attention, e.g. she seems woozy and about to pass out, either call the paramedics or tell someone who works there. DON’T approach someone you don’t know about this. There are any number of physical conditions that could make someone lose a lot of weight, and even if she does have anorexia nervosa, getting crap from random strangers about it will not be curative.
