My wife and I are "opposite body types." She's 5'9" and I'm 5'3". I've always been able to eat anything I want without gaining weight while she has not.

She's recently gained weight because her oncologist has encouraged her to eat more sugar while she is undergoing chemotherapy. The theory is that cancer cells love sugar and grow rapidly in its presence. Since chemo drugs attack rapidly growing cells, sugar is an ally.

She's about to have her last treatment. After that, she must revert to a low sugar diet.

Be careful in criticizing folks who are overweight. There may be reasons of which you are unaware.
