I'm surprised "the beachball on legs" didn't complain about being tempted with fatty foods at work. At my workplace there was an informal "crisps stall" and this ghastly fat creature successfully lobbied Management to remove it on account of her problem and so everyone had to troop down a flight of stairs to get a packet of crisps! Talk about the tail wagging the dog! But then we live in oh so sensitive and enlightened times!
