I completely understand (and thank you for sharing your own personal experience, I don't think you are being selfish at all but I do think you are giving consideration and perspective to the question...so cheers) Perhaps, therefore, you are most qualified to answer the question that i am struggling with myself.
You are spot on, smoking eating, drinking (and the addition of drug) taking are all support systems that we sometimes "fall" back on and can all to easily become habit forming. So, my question is, in much the same way that "society" has made it easier...or perhaps more important... for smokers to stop smoking, could she also make it easier for those who fall to overeating as a vice...not to.
by simply making it embarrassing.
I know what you are thinking, it would be like hell for those who already struggle with their weight. But isn't it irresponsible to defend those who make a choice that is bad for them and ultimately leads to an early grave.
Smokers are massively discriminated against, they are taxed treated and segregated like no other member of society and yet we are happy to maintain this discrimination on the grounds that its "good for them".
PS, I am and have never been a smoker.
That's very cruel!
Do fat and overweight people bother you that much that you need to be so nasty to them?
Who's next on your list now that we've done the smokers, drinkers and the fatties?
