Ok just because only Micronesia are fatter than me...
But I thought it was a good point to some degree. it was made by a chap who had won world slimmer of the year, twice and put the weight back on again twice.

Actually, if I dally with being reasonable for a second:
It *is* a good point.

And now, back to being prejudiced:

Perhaps if these elephantine cunts could exercise some self-control and just have one portion of fish and chips in a sitting they might not get fat. And then they would be able to see their genitals. And then they wouldn't have to go on the television and display their (admittedly impressive by sheer numbers) girth.

I actually agree with Apey, there's no getting around the fact that food is necessary and the best stuff has the most calories
Nonetheless, as Ricky Gervais put it (and he should know), no-one ever got fat behind their own back. Who the fuck looks at the scales when they read 17 stone and thinks "Ah well, cake"

i saw one about some woman who weighed about 800lbs
and she was saying that, once you get past about 300lbs - which in itself is staggering - it doesn't really make any difference any more. i guess if you weigh 800lbs, getting "down" to 750lbs isn't going to look or feel any different.

That made me so mad I think I cracked a tooth.
If I ever tipped the scale at 300lbs I think I might think to myself "Oooh, I'm a bit of a tubster, I think I'd better lose some weight" not "Oh well, I'll just have another cake, another 500lbs won't hurt me."

Jesus, I have a panic attack of I go above 154lbs.

Er... how tall are you?!

5' 7" (AND A HALF, THANK YOU)
I like to be around 147-150 lbs. This is mainly because I don't ever, ever want to be a fatty (again).

I should stress that I don't have any kind of eating disorder.

Ah OK
I'll be fucking amazed if I ever hit 11 stone but I'm 5'11". And I like food.

Are you a new contender for Tiniest Man On Off Topic?
Watch out, Battered may punch you.

I suppose I could be.
Depends on Battered, I suppose...

No-one will ever be tinier than Captain V, that's for sure.

I'm seriously starting to consider running and stuff
because I'm getting uncomfortably large. I'm not fat by any stretch, but I have let myself go a bit. How anyone can look at themselves and think "Yeah, I've got room for another couple of cheesecakes in there", I really don't know.

it is sickening
but anyone who gets to that stage must have either psychological or mental health problems. eg the world's fattest teen, that 850lb behemoth, had been fed to death by his mother, who had been fucked up by losing her first child when he was a baby. the whole family were fucked!

Overfeeding an infant to that extent is basically child abuse
If you broke your kid's legs in some kind of extreme version of Munchausen's by proxy they'd put you away, but bones mend and they'd be out playing football within a year. That kid's got years of extreme dieting and physical therapy ahead of him.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 17 Jul 2012, 11:01, Reply)

yep
this kid can't get out of bed, has to shit into a bag which his mother puts under his 850lb ass, and she still brings him a burger a minute.

gross.

That woman was a fucking idiot
All the justification in the world won't change the fact that SHE GOT THAT FAT BECAUSE SHE WAS FUCKING STUPID AND LAZY. It's called morbid obesity for a reason, it's because you die of it. A few suggestions for her ilk;

- It DOES make a difference, the fatter you get the sooner you die
- Your quality of life is much worse for continuing to gain weight once you get past 300lbs instead of trying to lose it
- So is the quality of life of your family and anyone who cares about you
- How the FUCK can you get to 300lbs in the first place?!

these ones who can't leave the house and chow down on 20,000 calories a day
how do they afford all that food? HOW?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 17 Jul 2012, 10:58, Reply)

And who's bringing it to them?
Surely that qualifies as abuse?

Exactly!
This British woman on the show had a daily breakfast of just a fuckload of chocolate. And it's not like she was buying it in bulk from the supermarket, every day she went down the corner shop and spunked about £10 on chocs, laid them out on the bed and went to town. I couldn't afford to spend what she did every day on food, and she was a stay-at-home mum with 5 kids.
