a sad day at the office

I have this coworker and I'm going to go out on a limb and say she is morbidly obese. She is shorter than 5'7 and over or close to 300 pounds. Yesterday, she sat in her chair and it broke, the noise was so loud and I felt terrible. I feel like she needs help and I have no clue what to do! She comes in everyday with fast food, jumbo drinks....I feel like if she were addicted to drugs, someone would intervene but because it's food that's her addiction, no one can say Anything.
She's not my friend, just a colleague but I look at her and I worry...

  1. you should re-read your suzy homemaker post. THIS is why you should learn how to cook and encourage others to do so as well. Forget pleasing a man.

  2. I have the same problem with a few people I manage at work. I just try to talk positively, and we can take 30 minutes a day to walk and I strongly encourage them to take that time, too. I also occasionally bring in snacks I made at home that taste good, but are actually healthy. I think the little subtle things go further than one tends to think. My blog is www.hannahkhowe.blogspot.com. I randomly found yours through one of my friends! Good luck!
