Sounds like you have a problem with her because she is fat.
If I were her and I knew how I was being treated because of weight, I would sue the pants off you for discrimination.
She is not a fat person.
She is a person who is fat.
There is a difference buddy.
Well I guess in Canada fat bearded women wearing flannel are considered a good catch. But there are certian social norms and rules that people should follow depending on the setting and enviornment. Also, people that sympathize and fight for the rights of the calorically challenged are either a fat piece of crap themselves OR looking for acdeptance themselves because they are equally as pathetic. If you are Fat, Ugly, Rude, White Trash, etc one should be able to state the FACT that you are and not be persecuted for it.
Additionally, there are many ways of getting the undesireable fired with out incurring a lawsuit. And for those of you that are gifted with a 12ft waitline and cankels and are law suit happy ther are changes coming in the US. The courts are waking up and realizing that 99% of the time these fat bastards are fat not becasue of a "slow metabolism" or "genetic disorder" (I always laugh at that one) but it the is 12 dozen boxes of Twinkie and Ho-Ho's they shove in their mouth a day.
And Mr. Canada - which in itself is a pathetic nationality - Fat people should be told they are FAT and treated as 2nd class people well, becsue they are. Second, you sympathize with them which meas you equally as pathetic. And weighing in at 300 lbs + is not acceptable unless you are a NFL lineman.
I think the poster is all consumed and obsessed with this overweight co-worker.
I too work for an overweight overbearing women who's hygeine habits could shock a horse and who acts like Black Dahlia.
I have chosen to ignore her.
You need to choose to feel ( nothing ) towards her. She is invisible. She does not exist.
I suggest this because you waste precious energy and fixation on someone who you obviously find fat and disgusting.
If she were Brittany Spears ( for instance ) all cute ,bubbly and blonde and bounced around the board room saying " oOOoooohhhhhhhh Pizza " and grabbed one without asking , I am not sure it would bother you as much as its Shamu the Whale grabbing for the piece of pizza.
But seriously unless she is invading your drawer, your locker , your purse, your lunchbox then anything on the table say a Large Pizza with 6 girls in the room. Well its going to be devoured....
She may suffer from the following :
I'm a pig syndrome and I need to make sure I get 3 pieces
She may have Prader Willie Syndrome where she eats like a horse
She may have been brought up in a Grab Food For All environment.
She may just have no manners
But in anycase, Ignore her.
Why is it so important to you that HR get involved. ?
Did she steal something. ?
Stealing Pizza is not a misdeamor last I heard ?
Get over this
Wear ear plugs
Lock your food
Pretend shes dead

Excuse me-BUTT FACE,UM its seems that americans have fat mouths to match their asses.I would rather be a Canadian than a cuzzin humping,banjo plunking,white trash inbred who is clearly jealous of the fact that EVERY country LOVES Canada and HATES america.
You know what i noticed about the kids in the school yard who always made fun of the fat kid.They grew up and were fat themselves.What goes around comes around.

Youre absolutly right she should sue.I bet this loser kicks little kids too.

She wouldn't have a case of discrimination because I haven't treated her any differently than any other co-workers, meaning I rarely have interration with her at all and any interraction is strictly professional.
I ranted and expressed my opinion about an observation I made during lunch which is unpaid non-office time (except for the people in the meeting). How is that discrimination? Do I ignore her requests or calls
because of her weight? Of course not.
I have my faults too (but a great azz!)

You know what I can't stand? There's this woman, who I just met, and barely know, that goes and tells everyone that they should agree with her that this one chick she works with is fat, no good at their job, and needs to be let go. She doesn't work for me, but I'd keep the, so called fat and lazy one, and send the judgemental one home a packin'......
Attendance is 80% of my evals. Over eating, over imposing, being a smart ass or telling dirty jokes all day has no bearing. If my engineers are here, or on-site when they're suppose to be, they're as good as gold to me.
My sister has this problem too, and I've told her time and time again I don't need her opinions on someone I don't personally know, keep them to herself.

I would never ever look out for who is eating what amount of cake or what no of candies and getting a slice of Pizza. It hardly does matter at workplace to indulge in such kinds of observations.
One should concentrate on work and if someone is stuffing so much that others are not getting to eat then only it should be noticed.
If some one is over weight or underweight, it is a personal thing and extrapolating it for being unhappy or issues is totally uncalled for.
Let's be professional at workplace atleast.

Workplace is not only workplace and if you ignore the importance of human interactions you very likely ignore an important factore that influences the productivity at work. If this was a factory in China maybe then it wouldn't matter that much if people were happy or not, but in Western countries it's a factor. Simply for selfish reasons you want the workers to be happy.
Human interaction is quite different than ranting about someone who eats more candies or gets one slice of pizza. I am not sure of china but other countries have equal good human interactions between workers. We all have team dinner and team outing all for this.
On a side note I consider it quite 'cheap' if some one keeps an eye on how much other is eating from office pantry.

Exactly why I posted my rant here cuz I don't have a diary.
Let me just say and this is my personal opinion you were not ranting, you were being overtly mean and judgmental. Your second post just seemed like a long list of excuses as to why you "vented" about this person in the first place...
it sounds like you have nothing better to do all day than observe this person who annoys you so. Why do you care what she eats or if she is doing her job? What business is it of yours? Does she pay your bills, does she eat all your groceries? I understand venting cause that's what I come on here to do, and everyone else, either about broken hearts or doctor's who do not wash their instruments (that one still blows me away) but this rant seemed very cruel. Since you seem to have such a problem with it why have you not confronted her about it? Or is snickering behind her back with the secretary much easier?

MWC, when people see you ranting about someone for whom they feel sorry, they will tend to take her side. Rants about the rich, skinny and beautiful will be met with far more approval in this forum, and probably most places where regular people interact.
My suspicion is that had you omitted details about her weight, this thread would have taken a different tone. Hopefully the criticism will roll off your back. I'd strongly advise against defending yourself to Those Who Feel They Are Without Sin.
As for me, I thought it was pretty funny, and know a person or two like that. And I've got my bag of Stones handy.
