So much this.  I read her story and I thought that she sounded unhealthily obsessed.  She's basically the kind of person fat people point to and say "look at this extreme example of someone who goes to the gym for hours and is really unhappy because they don't do anything else", and use outliers like her as an excuse to be fat.  It's like... why doesn't anyone grasp the idea of moderation anymore? You really have to wonder why someone like that was spending so much time working on themselves if it didn't make them feel good about themselves.
