Lilivati - I am angry about it because I feel that life is precious. There are so many people who are fighting for life through things that are beyond their control (accidents, illnesses, cancer, etc.) and yet this selfish mentally ill person is eating herself to death because she wants to be in the record books.
I am personally offended by it.
I am personally offended by it.
I understand, and I am very sorry for the kids. I really, really hope there is someone to care for them.
I just don't see the point in expending the energy in being personally offended. I won't change her. I don't think that there is any way to do so that would be legal, and I wouldn't want to make any such interference legal, no matter how awful this particular person is. There will always be people like that, and there's not much you can do about it, so I just don't see the point in being angry. If she were my relative, I'd be furious. She's not. She's just another screwed up person.
I see no more reason to be personally offended by her than by people who do drugs and ignore their kids, or who beat their kids, or molest their kids, or abandon their kids at Wal-Mart. I find all that behavior, like hers, reprihensible (indeed, more so). I also know that if I walk around being personally offended by it, I will lose my mind.
I will admit that thinking about her makes me tired and have an irresistable urge to sigh.

can't say I'm expending much energy by disliking this attitude this person has towards herself and caring for her children.
and I am angry at people who do all the things you listed. Being angry won't change them? so we should just ignore neglect? abuse? abandonment? because it's not worth all the energy it takes to be upset?
Expressing human emotion isn't a waste of energy
it's healthier than just ignoring your feelings even if it's annoyance or anger.

Reading articles like this makes me upset.
I want a baby SO badly and then I read an article about this woman who is LUCKY to have 2 children, yet is KILLING herself. I just can't imagine doing that as a parent... it's disgusting and is upsetting to hear about, because even if everything in her life makes her unhappy, she has been blessed with 2 children. Two children who SHE is ultimately responsible for.

But if I want to avoid having an apoplexy every time I read the news, I try to avoid getting angry. There are things in politics that make me very angry . . . but people like this . . . no. In fact, I don't see the point. Most of these people aren't WORTH my anger. Their victims are worth my sorrow and regret, but the people who say, molest their children . . . they aren't worth the effort of being mad. Being angry at them WON'T change them, but it will change me, and being angry all the time will not change me for the better. But I have better and more constructive uses for my energy than directing my hatred and angry towards someone it won't change and who wouldn't care if they knew I was angry at them.
Its not that I am not appalled, or disgusted, or exasperated. And it is not, in the case of abuse or abandonment that I think they should be ignored (though I don't think anything can or should be done here). I just don't get angry, or I try to avoid doing so.
I sounds like you think we are all sitting behind our computer desks seething with rage. I'm not. I don't HATE this woman and when I'm not talking about it here I'm not thinking about her or going around with a red face, shaking and beating things up LOL
I'm not wasting any energy being upset by this GOAL. unfortunately I fear this is going to spark competition for the TITLE.
I certainly don't walk around being angry all day every day. but I won't deny that there are things that upset me. I am angry that people could do this to their children. I feel so BAD for kids that have to grow up with such a mentally dysfunctional parent.
it's not all consuming rage by any means and it's not wasting any energy I have although I suppose if I really let it get to me it might give me some extra oompf when I have to start cleaning the house today
I just don't have much in the way of tolerance for people who hurt their children for their own selfish wants... like really... to get in the book of records for being the fattest person that ever lived (no matter how short that life was). you just KNOW people are going to start tryign to break that record. What a sad state of affairs

I was so angry after reading that article, I threw my monitor across the room and smashed my keyboard with a sledgehammer in a fit of rage. I also ripped out all of my hair, and went door to door to collect and trash the neighbors junk food from their kitchens.
Ok, you got me there. No, I don't think people are seething with rage. I just wouldn't describe the feeling I get from this as anger. Just exasperation and a shake of the head.
And if you read the comments after the article online in a lot of places, so people clearly are very angry.
As for competition for the title . . . I actually wondered if this would induce Guiness to pull the title . . . they have for other dangerous activities.

Ok... I can agree with that. Yes I don't really feel ANGRY just... saddened for those kids really. if she wants to eat herself to death she can go to town but she has a responsibility to be a mother to those kids and it just breaks my heart when kids pay the price for irresponsible parents. so yeah exasperation is probably a better word.
I don't doubt that there are people who ARE seething with rage. I think you could post just about anything in a news article and someone would totally freak out lol.
I can't believe they HAVE such a title to begin with but yes I hope this gives them a wake up call that perhaps this isn't the kind of title people should be aspiring for. If you want to win the title for the biggest snot bubble well... that's gross but good for you I guess lol you aren't hurting anyone. but this will clearly leave victims in it's wake.

But oddly enough, most of the WINNERS of these eating contests are super duper skinny, ROFL.........I know Kevin can pack away the food. I've seen him eat 3 big macs........THREE, plus a super size fry and the biggest drink they offer and STILL pick at whatever measly food I had on my plate because he was still HUNGRY........not just wanting, but HUNGRY!!! and he was PUNY! He was wearing a size 29 waist at the time IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!!! LOL
(this was all before we were married of course) Now he's a little older, still eats like a horse but it's catching up to him.........he's in a size 32 LOL
But to address the anger part........No, I'm not angry, not even personally offended, I am extremely sad. For her, and especially her children. IMO she is obviously mentally ill. I would think she was mental if she was going the opposite direction...........think of Karen Carpenter for example, obviously she had mental issues, this 'goal' of hers is no different in my mind than that. The big difference is, she is going to burden her children to care for her, burden their hearts when she leaves them, and burden their minds for the rest of their life making them feel as though they could/should have stopped her in some way.

I think its disgusting and the only thing I'd ever buy her is a gym membership.
