How sad. Some people are prisoners in their own bodies. :(

The only thing I find sad is people let themselves get in that condition.

She should have to pay those bills. It's not the NJ taxpayers fault she's that fat.

Im sure if you examined her diet you would not find whole grains, fiber and greens as the main components.

OK.

I will pay you one million dollars if you can reach 700 lbs in two years.

She has a genetic problem. Most people cannot become super obese even if they try.

Now tell me, why does it make you feel better to blame her for her condition rather than admit the obvious? She has very little control over it... and treatments for it are extremely invasive and expensive.

Dude. Listen to yourself. Read the article.
700 pounds

Dont you think that at maybe 300 she should have become worried about her condition? Or maybe 400? Maybe by the time she was 500 pounds she should have realized something was wrong with her. 600 pounds apparently flew by as well. And from what it looks like even 700 pounds wasnt too concerning to her.

Even including her "genetic condition" of being a fatass with todays technology and understanding of diet and exercise there is no excuse for being that obese.

Like I said. Get to 700 lbs just by letting yourself go and I'll believe you.

The fact of the matter is, you cannot. The vast majority of us cannot. 700 lbs is not a case of simply letting oneself go. It's a serious problem she obviously has little to no control over.

It's obvious that the super obese cannot help their weight by and large. The failure rate of simple diet and exercise among them is very close to 100%.

Again, yes, she could have got help. But the only really effective help for the super obese is extremely invasive, dangerous and expensive.

If she were to lose 575lbs instantly (snap of the finger magic)...imagine how strong and fast she would be? :p

Genetic conditions are one thing, but to get to 700lbs, you have to neglect your body for many years. She may not have control over it now, but she did have control of her problem at some point in her life.

And saggy.

I saw a special on Discovery Channel or something like that about enormous people... the amount of food that they ate was incredible. :Q

OK, since you have all the answers why not simply tell these people how to fix themselves and get rich?

Oh wait...

It's not that simple. She NEVER had control over it. That's why she got to 700 lbs in the first place. Could she have got medical attention and had invasive procedures to help her? Sure. But are you gonna pick up the tab, help calm her fears over the danger and ease her pain? I thought not.

No, all people like you do is sit in your office chairs at your computers and judge people without having the slightest idea what it is like to be them.

I think you're genetically predisposed with your metabolism, so some people gain weight more easily. That being said, it is all calories in / calories out... her eating habits are the main contributor to her condition.

It sucks to be them i'm sure. sounds like you have had some experience with someone like this in your personal life to be defending her like this.
