That's another thing I can't wrap my head around -- how it refuses to shave its daily caloric intake in the hospital -- it could easily ask for help in keeping her weight coming down what with the hospital staff in charge of what goes in and out of her mouth and that way it's a no-brainer, needs very little will-power.  So that alone tells me that this heifer insists on cramming its pie hole as it's used to doing outside of hospital.
