Too bloody right she would have gotten a remark from you... between gritted teeth it would have come.

Some people have no understanding of how us poor fatties feel. I see poor loves walking around now who are bigger than me and I really want to go up to them and say, hey, you know there is something you can do to help yourself along. We all know that our bands are great tools to help us along... but we have to work at it as well. Some of us have better success than others, but we all I am sure would say the same thing, we need it to help us to control ourselves.

Anyway, I too would have been gobsmacked an very angry.
