I guess I just find taking her advice a bit ironic. Is it wrong for me to feel and think like this?
I mean isnt it kind of like taking relationship advice from someone whos gone through multiple breakups or someone trying to give you medical advice who isn't a doctor?

Not at all. She may have a thyroid condition or some other medical issue that causes her weight problem.
Granted, there are people out there that for whatever reason, being an eating disorder or someone who just loves to eat, that wilfully overeat, but let's not assume everyone who is overweight makes that choice.
Yesterday I was grabbing burgers to go and I noticed a very overweight couple finish their dinner, then split another large burger between them. Who really knows.
