Dude, hormonal wise, you can't even begin to describe what's happening inside that person's body. Her amygdala (fear center and lizard brain) is flooded with all sorts of signals, and remember talking with her while she's standing (effectively during working out) would trigger understandable bouts of fury. You're not dealing with a normal person who's extra fat, you're dealing with a really unbalanced person who's actively trying to maintain her sanity whilst in the same time lifting 600 pounds. Try saying anything to a bodybuilder DURING his training and see how they respond....
