[TallBill]

Ok, my name is Bob Scott, and I think that that is disgusting. There, I said it.

 

[jpeyton]

Wow, what a fat slob!

 

[waggy]

I dunno, she seemed to not react that much. The end of the article is her telling her husband to get over it.

The reason people criticize fat people is because 99% of them are fat because they are lazy. Of course there are those who are overweight because of real problems, but 400 pounds doesn't just come about from thyroid issues.

Well lets face it, her tale is pretty hilarious. She was presumably so fat that not having periods for 9 months wasn't unusual enough to warrent a visit to the doctors office. I mean, thats pretty damn bad.

Do you have a list? Just as a preventative measure.

Really?

OK, I'll pay you 1 million dollars to reach 400 lbs in two years if you have never been obese.

Well a quick internet search provided me with Waggy's Indian phone number, so add me up

 

[jjones]

It was yet another example of how the Internet ? and the anonymity it affords ? has given a public stage to people?s basest thoughts, ones that in earlier eras likely never would have traveled past the watercooler, the kitchen table or the next barstool.

What do you expect, the internet is the watercooler, the kitchen table, and the next bar stool.

The point is, it's simply not possible for most people to reach 400 lbs. Hell, some people can't gain weight no matter how hard they try.

ya she should get over it! those aren't nasty remarks those are the truth, she is fat and overweight! those remarks should motivate her to loose weight!...plus thats a part of life

 

[djheater]

It may seem trite, but when I chose my online username I considered the philospohical ramifications of an essentially anonymous medium. I decided that being as representative of who I am IRL is the only ethical option and strive towards that.

I do find I make liberal use of the cancel post butotn... especially after a couple of drinks.

Oh really? That's something I didn't know. How can you not gain weight if your eating over your caloric expenditure?

 

[MX2]

So what that article says is there are lots of a-holes in the world? Whuda thunk?

Ask any hard gainer in the gym. When I was a kid I ate like a horse and never gained weight.

Well I mean if she's an endomorph and had already increased her fat cell capacity throughout here life, I should believe it would be entirely possible to gain that much weight naturally, no?

You don't go to the gym to gain 400 pounds of fat, you go to McDonalds.

?The thing that bothered me most was, people assumed because I am overweight, I?m going to be a bad mom,? Branum says. ?And that is not one little bit true.?

Perhaps not...at least, until she drops dead of an obesity-induced heart attack when the child is 4 years old.

It's not OK to be so complacent when you are that frickin huge. She really needs to do something about it - if not for herself, then for the child she will be raising. I still can't believe she didn't know she was pregnant until 2 days before the baby was born...

People like you are ectomorphic "hard-gainers" with extremely fast metabolic rates, and although it is never impossible to beat your own metabolism, you still have difficulty meeting that criteria. This woman is clearly not a hard-gainer and I highly doubt she gained 300+ pounds because of body issues.
