I have known people who were genetically predisposed to being large, and no matter what they did (diet, excersise, et all), no real weight loss would happen. Still, with keeping on it and not losing hope, no real weight gain occured either.
So yes, people that large are most likely fucked in the head. But that does NOT give them an excuse to be complacent and just grow by leaps and bounds each year. Any person with the right motivation could get themselves out of being a bed ridden land beast. You start slowly, with simple excercises like stretching and arm workouts, follow that with making a conscious descision to not eat as much, and when you do, eat something good for you, not another large stuffed crust pizza. Even with genetics and fucked up mental state, there is no reason anyone should ever allow themselves to let go that much and then feel sorry for themselves.

And this is not being cold hearted or mean, just sayin.

Problem is they're so fucked that the motivation just doesn't happen. And they get so addicted to the "high" from overeating/eating certain foods that it further complicates matters. It's maybe foreign to non-fatties (or at least the fatties that eat because of emotional issues), but even someone like me, who is the polar opposite (I must weight like 105), understands how they feel in a way.

Anal sex.

I got a lot of super bad eating habits from my mother. Now it kills me because she can eat anything and not gain weight (it's not that unusual to see her eat a bag of twizzlers and go to bed). So we always have a lot of candy and crap at home. It wasn't until the doctor told me I had high cholesterol that I started to really watch what I eat, and I was amazed how much sugar I was eating. I lost 30lbs in about 5 months with basically just watching my diet.

Cutting sugar out of stuff, is probably the most important thing you can do.

If your a coffee or tea drinker, taking that fucker black with no sugar will pretty drastically affect your weight over time. I wasn't a believer till I tried it myself (started a month ago) and with no actual change to my eating habits at all, I've lost about 8 pounds since then.

Imagine if I tried.

This is the longest string of serious posts I've ever seen from Aurora.

I have, several times, gotten the eating high, and it's great and then I come down and want to pass out or vomit. I do understand that motivation lessens when you can see the tv over your stomach, but the fact of the matter is you can still, either by yourself or with help from family/freinds, get the motivation and the desire to move back. When I think about the long, arduous path to becoming 600+ pounds, I cannot, in all good conscience, feel bad for those people.

I heard that once you get around 500+ your skin may start to rot because not enough blood can circulate through the fat to get to the skin tissue. Anyone know anything about that? It sounds true enough.

There's this really obese girl in one of my literature classes who comes to class everyday huffing and puffing from climbing the stairs. Once she sits down she proceeds to eat little bags of chips and chocolate bars, and she always has a drink from some fast food place she just got back from. I'm not sure if she has a medical problem, but shes sure not trying to help herself.

Eh. Aurora has some points, and I'm sure some of these things come into play, but the biggest problem is that anyone can order greasy terrible food any hour of the day and only have to make it from the couch to the door to get to it. We have drive-ins for people who are too fucking lazy to get out of the vehicles that carried their fat asses to the food trough. It has become too easy to get calories in and too easy to not bother to get them out. Sure, these 600-pounders are the extremes, but they are just the end of the curve. This entire country is fucking fat, and it's because we drive everywhere to eat tons of bad food.

I'll never get that, my dog in nature is a meat eater but I'll only feed him a vegan diet. That's perfectly natural, really...

Just as bad, people who make their pets fat.

I watched an hour long special on obese pets on animal planet a few months back. It's like OMG WTF are you people thinking. Letting someone over indulge themselves (be it with food, or just other being spoiled rotten items) is just as bad as not giving enough.
