Woman Missing From Cruise Ship.

Jennifer Seitz was a member of Obesity Help, she'd weight loss surgery years ago, and married another post-op.

And, OMG!  This makes me cringe, in too many ways.

Including this fact from The Knot:

Interesting fact: Jen has lost 140 pounds, quit a job she was unhappy at, found religion and meeting and falling in love just completed the package!

I'm going to have a nightmare.

"The couple met in a weight loss support group; both had undergone bariatric surgery. She chronicled her weight loss journey for an Orlando TV station.

She was also a freelance writer, having written articles for The Tampa Tribune, The Ledger in Lakeland, and an online article titled, "Battling the Bulge Onboard," about how not to gain weight while aboard a ship.

On her Web site, Seitz described herself as an "avid traveler and an amateur chef." She was previously a reporter for Florida Today, a newspaper in Melbourne.

Raymond Seitz was arrested in April on a charge of domestic violence-battery after being accused of head-butting his wife. The charge was dropped after he entered a pretrial diversion program. Records show that she asked the prosecutor not to pursue the case.

A fellow passenger on the ship, Jim Nestor, told NBC's Today show that Seitz and her new husband stood out on the ship with "large and raw personalities."

Many of the passengers saw them as contestants on an on-board game called "The Not-So-Newlywed Game," modeled after a 1960s TV quiz show. The game was also carried on the ship's closed-circuit TV channel.

"They stood out a lot more than other people," Nestor, a retired police officer, told NBC.

Nestor, who appeared on the game show with his own wife, said he ran into Raymond Seitz day after his wife was reported missing.

"I had given him my condolences, and he had a plastic bag filled with quarters, and he said to me that he was going to the casino to see if he could change his luck," Nestor said.

I hated to even think it, but Bob and I were talking vacays the day before I read this.

THEN I READ THIS: and saw post WLS freelance writer woman jumps/gets pushed off THE BOAT. AND I THOUGHT, that's me, *he* lost it.

NO BOATS POST WLS. That's a lesson. You don't need the FOOD. It's too stressful. There's the article I'll be writing.

Methinks they need to drag out the rubber hoses and get to work on Mr. Seitz. Changing your luck, are you? Sounds like he gave her a shove.

Shades of Scott Peterson, who added hardcore porn to his cable package after his wife "disappeared".
