To the ...I am the wife of a man who is 360 pounds. To the writer who said someone should intervene and speak the truth to these obese people, well I'll have you know, I have been trying unsuccessfully for 7 years to be encouraging and supportive in helping my husband lose weight to no avail. Ultimately the person has to want to lose weight and to do it for themselves, not for their spouse or their kids. My husband suffers from severe major depression and so most of his weight gain was due to his antidepressant (he takes 4). But now he isn't motivated to take the weight off. I am frustrated because we have no sex life, he has sleep apnea, and a whole list of other health problems because of his weight. Something terrible probably has to happen first before he will lose the weight, sad to say. I can only pray. It's an addiction. Most people eat to live. My husband lives to eat.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184334304150893234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20025896.post-1149696563565920512006-06-07T11:09:00.000-05:002006-06-07T11:09:00.000-05:00I think society, doctors, etc. define "overweight"...I think society, doctors, etc. define "overweight" with way too low of a number. I think "normal" includes a greater range than is usually credited.<BR/><BR/>We are not talking about "overweight" here, we are talking about the insanely obese, the can't fit in a airplane seat obese, the ridiculously obese. THESE are the people that need to introduce themselves to a fruit or vegetable. THESE are the people that need to take a walk around the block once in a while. It's just sick...and its not you, elizabethsheryl.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12226791020182132342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20025896.post-1149540311479293912006-06-05T15:45:00.000-05:002006-06-05T15:45:00.000-05:00The drunk usually gets a DUI or kills someone or s...The drunk usually gets a DUI or kills someone or something rather tragic (wife leaves, looses house etc.) and it comes to a head faster than weight does. Obviously there are always exceptions. The Lobster Boy has seen the scale go past 300 for a period in his life (not currently) so I speak from some experience.<BR/><BR/>Lobster BoyLobster Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915814696810767679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20025896.post-1149489852973632492006-06-05T01:44:00.000-05:002006-06-05T01:44:00.000-05:00I'm one of those overweight people, can fit in boo...I'm one of those overweight people, can fit in booths just fine but I am signifigantly overweight...you DO see it coming, but I think a lot of overweight people don't realize that they have an addiction. <BR/><BR/>Everyone associates food with emotions. We celebrate something good happening by going to dinner, we see women on t.v. bust out a pint of ice cream when they get dumped, we have food-filled funeral receptions and a food-related event for EVERY special occasion. What happens with some people, is that the line gets crossed and every emotion that is unplesant gets "stuffed" with food. It's a way to escape, just as a person drinking alcohal drinks because they had a bad day. Some people can drink a glass of wine at night and be fine, others can't. Each person has an obstacle they are going to have to overcome...even if it isn't something they put into their body there is restricting food/purging, compulsions with cleaning and with overworking, SO many out there..so as much as it's easy for some to say "hey, clothes are tight, eat a salad" it isn't that simple for others. I am 20 years old, and fat, and am just realizing the extent of my eating habits and the fact that I eat when I'm not hungry for a number of silly reasons. People can be ignorant to their own compulsions, but you don't see post after post about that damn lazy alcoholic who just drinks the day away.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173270765649283088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20025896.post-1149305093848945382006-06-02T22:24:00.000-05:002006-06-02T22:24:00.000-05:00It breaks my heart to see anyone that uncomfortabl...It breaks my heart to see anyone that uncomfortable.

We have a particular sub-group of women in our area (perhaps this is universal for this group of women) who wear skin tight clothing (and we're not talking the poor) to "show off" their bodies. Ugh. That is more flesh than I want to see.<BR/><BR/>Lobster BoyLobster Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915814696810767679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20025896.post-1149179817109601842006-06-01T11:36:00.000-05:002006-06-01T11:36:00.000-05:00The thing is most people don't start out that fat....The thing is most people don't start out that fat. They get bigger and bigger. And as they get bigger they have to buy bigger clothes. I always wonder what goes through their head when they make that choice to move on up to the next size.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04123455962036602124noreply@blogger.com
