Selective logic is a wonderful thing! The unimagineable weight of 250 pounds is probably literally unimagineable to the people who gasp upon reading this story; they probably can't picture what that weight actually looks like (on relatives, friends, coworkers and strangers ALL AROUND THEM). Hah!
It's so true though. People have no idea what 250 lbs really looks like. I've had so many conversations with friends who are like "I can't believe anyone would ever let themselves weight 200 lbs, can you imagine?" and are in utter disbelief when I tell them I'm 200+ (it varies, my weight has gone up and down lately). People think 200 lbs is absolutely gigantic when in reality, a lot of people weigh 200+ and don't "look it."
Tangental, but in the same vein..several ladies in my office were talking about Paris Hilton and her size 11 shoes and OMG, I can't believe anyone has feet that big and they must be huge and..
I stuck my head out of my office and said "I wear size 11 shoes." To which, they were absolutely flabbergasted. "No way, but your feet look so tiny. But you have such cute shoes." *rolling eyes*

Like being (gasp!) **250 lbs** is enough to make someone COLLAPSE!
Must be a lot of football-player guys lining the streets, huh?
