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.

Really?

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

Only if you supply the food ;).

:p

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.

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


I couldnt for years. i could not break 140 no matter how many calories i was eating.

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.



yeah i was eating a ton. but i was also always active. i was in football/wrestling/tennis and worked out all year.

it was not until i was like 30 when i gained it. but i think it was more health reasons. i went from 125 to 220 in a matter of 7 months. i was also hospitlized with liver problems and blood problems.

400 lbs? didn't know she was knocked up (amazed someone did..but i know some guys like that)?

but it amazed me people really think they are anonymous on line. piss off the wrong people (especially on ATOT heh) and they will find you.

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

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

a simple search for his domain will give a ton more info than his phone number. ;)

Nobody has to be 400 pounds and anyone who is and not getting serious about changing isn't responsible enough to have children. Those children are going to look at their mom and become just like her... kids, especially during their early years, model themselves after their parents. If mommy is overweight, eating terrible food, and not exercising, they will most likely be the same way.

In addition to the fact it may cause the kids to be overweight as well, I also think someone who "lets themselves go" enough to become 400 pounds is not responsible enough to be a mother. You don't get to weigh 400 pounds without eating bad food or too much food in addition to not exercising. It simply doesn't happen. Yes, some people have much more trouble with their weight than others do. I know some people that eat more than me yet weight far less; it's difficult for them to gain weight. She may be one of those people that has trouble, but if she put her mind to it and ate healthy in addition to exercising (even just walking around the neighborhood) she would lose weight. She's never going to be a 120-pound skinny person, but even 250 pounds would be a huge improvement over her current weight.

The final reason she shouldn't be a mother is, if she doesn't do anything about her weight, she won't be around for much longer. A heart attack or some other form of death is in her future if she doesn't do something.

Some would say me and those who share my views are harsh, I say that sometimes the truth hurts the most. The bottom line is this woman is in no condition to have children right now.
