This is one reason. Enablers. This woman is an extreme case, but this is what most of those chicks will end up like Monique, Spicee Cajun, all those "real men like curves, only a dog wants a bone" chicks. Your right about the people around you, go to the Facebook page of her or any fat person and look at the friends list & friends and family photos you'll see other fat people. This applies to any character flaw, baby mamas hang together, baby daddies, fukk boys,simps, drug dealers, hoes (male and female). They hang around people who think exactly like them so they see it as normal and what is normal is excuses and no accountability.
Reminds me of a video of Tariq arguing with a fat chick and her man. She argued with Tariq because he said that only broke dudes date fat chicks because if they had money they would have better standards. Instead of just losing weight she argued with him and her man enabled her.
