Well in group I discovered that there are some people in the new/old group that I just don't like. We had to break up into group of 3-5 and talk about how we achieved our goals last week. Since I hadn't made any goals I either a. didn't achieve it, or b. achieved it by default. But that didn't leave much to talk about. And the guy who was in our group was a pompous A.
When we got back together he told a story about being at the grocery store and see a very obese woman and being totally grossed out. He mentally asked himself why she didn't do something about it. Here is a guy who has gone through this program, and knows how hard it is to lose, and can ask that question even for a moment?
The group gave him cud o's because he realized that he wasn't being compassionate. So the cycle continues. And for those of us who are trying to lose weight, and realize the struggle we all have been through, we can't break that thought process so ingrained into our society. Fat people are just worth less. They are weak and they are stupid.

Sounds like you've got a group member who is a strong candidate for retroactive abortion.
