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.

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
Hey, maybe u guys will eventually become friends, maybe thats all she needs is sumone who can teach her to act right.
Are you kidding me?!?!? Teach her to 'act right' by calling her names and insulting her? What if you had a zit on your face that you didn't cover? Would you like it if I said "Hey zit face, can you cover that up?"

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.

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.
YES! This is hilarious! One of our suppliers brought in a Tin of cookies all wrapped up to look like lots of cookies.
But under the maybe 12 cookies was some scrunched up paper to "fluff it up" and then they wrapped it in cellophane! And they included a business card from some home-based cookie making company....i don't think so!
Maybe we're not a good customer!

Ebeneezer lives! No wonder food causes such a problem in your office if the suppliers are rationing out the Christmas treats in such miserly portions.
This reminds me of an office I worked in once. One of the senior managers left, and as a parting gift he left a box of "Celebrations" to be shared out amongst staff. The colleague who sat opposite me diligently sliced a miniature Snickers bar down the middle (using the office guillotine) so that we could share it.
