British couple denied adoption due to weight.

British Couple declared too fat to adopt

This article was posted on one of my boards today, and just gives me the rage for that couple (and anyone else who's faced size-ism). I was even pushed to comment directly on the blog in response, and I was pretty calm about it. I wasn't quite as reserved on the board (closed community), but it just hits SO close to home. So close. I can't count the number of times the phrase "if you'd just lose xxx lbs" has been mentioned to me. I know I need to lose weight, TYVM. Stop stating the obvious... Bah.
