Weighing On Me

As I was hanging out at a food court the other day I watched a couple of obese women driving electric shopping carts. The wheelchair-like devices offer mobility to people who have trouble walking.

These two gals drove over to A&W for root beer floats. Then they cruised to The Great Steak and Potato Company for fries before picking up crab rangoon at the Chinese counter.

I didn’t feel disgust or pity. Instead, I was filled with admiration at their gumption. "These are my sisters," I thought as I resisted the urge to join them.

"I’d like extra ranch dressing with my buffalo wings, ladies."
