morbidly obese? Really?
First of all, to those of you who read these, please understand I have an off-beat sense of humor. My rants are more sarcasm rather than bitter. I'm not a bitter person, in fact, I can't stand bitter people. That being said . . . .

Morbidly Obese: Are you kidding me? I'm not denying the fact; I'm opposing the term. Let's face it, we live in a world of "political correct"-ness, and that's the best you can come up with? I'm a teacher and I've seen the terms for our "challenged" students change yearly to sound more "positive" and hey I'm all for it if it makes someone feel good, but no one changes Morbidly Obese. Ethnicities change constantly on what is correct. And, honestly, I'm of the belief we are all people so why do we need a title. But yet, I try to be socially conscious. And yet, I'm MORBIDLY obese.

Come on, we can do better than that. I mean a car wreck is morbid. I cannalbalistic serial killer is morbid. I know my rolls can be offensive, but do they really fall into that category. I mean my gosh, I swear I've never even been tempted to eat a human kidney. Well, or any kidney for that matter. I'd rather you just call me fat, white, and lazy - than MORBID. It sounds like i'm the type of person that laughs evilly while blowing up frogs in my microwave. I don't really have an alternative to Morbidly Obese, I'm just opposed to the term.

Wait . . . Here's an idea: Instead of you calling me Morbidly Obese, why not just call me . . . Audra
