Seriously!?! This discussion just perpetuates the myths of obese people. That if we would just "eat right" and eat the things our doctors tell us to that we'll lose weight and be healthy. Don't you think that each and every one of us have tried and tried? Especially women who are planning to get pregnant? It's not that easy. Get real, people and stop making it sound like we just don't do "what we're supposed to."
