shrugsI don't think that we should be referring to overweight people as being hogs.
There are some overweight people in the forum,and I don't think that they would like to be referred to as hogs.
I have an overweight mother,and I certainly wouldn't want her to be referred to as hog.
I feel the same about overweight friends that I have including one that has lupus.
When you use words like hog to refer to overweight people, it suggests that you might look down on overweight people.
Who is to say that your sister isn't picking up on that,and is reflecting what you think about her. That's possible.
I agree that a lot of overweight people have emotional issues.
