A counselor being obese is just a reminder that people don't necessarily practice what they're preaching. It doesn't mean the advice isn't good. Advice spewed from someone in shape requires the same personal analytical thought that it would from an obese person. ie: Is this advice complete garbage?

I would suggest that you spend more time carefully considering how counseling or advice impacts your life, instead of thinking about whether or not it's coming from a hypocrite or a glutton.

If someone offers pearls of wisdom that it's clear they doesn't really care about, since they're really thinking about "how long until lunch", it doesn't mean someone with more strength can't use some of it to their advantage.
