		<description>My dear Bowser,

   You will have to take this on a leap of faith because you don&#039;t really know me. Indeed, I speak only the truth. This was not a *gotcha* thing NEVER NEVER NEVER.

I am a recovering overeater, a day to day, sometimes minute by minute struggle. 

I have written about my struggle in my blog. 
I am at a point in my recovery that sometimes even I don&#039;t know what is disturbing to me until it presents itself.

I , however, have the unique ability to laugh at myself. The picture of the jack asses was letting my band of brothers know that I was taking myself a little too seriously...and I actually got a huge chuckle at their responses. So...I, in my own warped way, was acquiescing and having fun with my guys.</description>

		<description>I sure didn&#039;t see it.  She did mention she was heavy once, and she&#039;s joked about that any number of times.

But to go from having been heavy at one time to finding that picture of a woman&#039;s arm appearing to be the body of the woman standing behind her is too much of a stretch.

If one truly finds that offensive, then any picture of an overweight woman would be offensive.  In that case the world would be an overwhelmingly burden.  And I don&#039;t get that from Jody.

Either that or it was a &quot;gotcha&quot;, which is also in the realm of possibility.</description>

		<description>Well, well, what EXACTLY did offend you about that picture?  I bring this up only in an attempt to isolate that which, if appreciated, turns a rollicking, male into an ass.

Personally, I don&#039;t really think anything offended you.  I think you did that as a joke, and males &quot;bit&quot;.  It worked.

And, if I&#039;m wrong, it would be interesting to see where the line was crossed.</description>
