Sounds good, but you really should not have to say that to a guest,
especially an uninvited one. I got into enough trouble with her when she
was a teen and especially sensitive. I leave it to her mother to deal
with it. She knows her daughter has a problem. She knows that I have a
problem with her daughter, and she is sympathetic. I simply try to avoid
having anything deal with her.

He is about the same size. They met at a big and tall club. His food
intake is more normal than hers.

Considering how much she eats, I am surprised that she is not a hell of
a lot bigger than she is. It is not her size that is the issue. It is
her obsession with eating. It is a pain in the ass to have to invite her
to family functions and then to have to go to the work and expense to
provide twice as much food for a gathering when one person eats enough
for 6 or more. And it annoying as hell to go onto the kitchen for
something and find her opening a box of crackers of cookies in the
pantry when there is all sorts of food out. Who, in their right mind,
attends a social function in someone's home and sneaks away from the
food service to root around for more food?
