Her thinking is that being 25st+ shows you are greedy, lazy and too stubborn to admit you have a problem. When I think of the £m spent on caring for these people on the NHS, I kind of have to agree with her

I do hope you don't crash and need help from any of the emergency services or hospitals when you go out for fun on your bike on a Sunday
