Ice Cream Lover Claps Back at Body-Shaming Mom: Who’s the Real Monster?

We’ve all had those days when we crave our favorite guilty pleasure. For one woman, it’s a medium chocolate dipped twist from Dairy Queen. She looks forward to this treat every Thursday night on her way home from work. But being in the ‘morbidly obese’ category, she’s very self-conscious about her weight, and the walk from her car to the order window is a nightmare. Little did she know, one fateful Thursday would lead to a confrontation that would leave her questioning her own actions.
