Fat Bastard?

o_O

Those people weigh over a long tonne!

Could they try a low calorie diet liposuction and that surgery where they reduce the size of the stomach?

Roselie Bradford (b. 1944) of Sellersville, PA; 5 ft 6 in, measured at 1053 lbs, but estimates that she weighed more than 1200 lbs at her peak two years earlier, a claim accepted by Guinness. Already over 300 lbs when she dropped out of college, Bradford became an exercise instructor, running seven miles three times a week, but continued her steady gain in weight. At 374 lbs she underwent an intestinal bypass operation, which caused serious complications. She was back to 350 lbs when she married her husband Bob in 1973, reached 500 lbs after the birth of her son, and as her body grew, so did her appetite. After contracting septicemia in the early 1980s, she spent most of the next decade in bed, eating - as much as 15,000 calories per day. It wasn't unusual for her to put away three large pizzas in 40 minutes (washing them down with diet soda), then ask for dessert. At her peak, she measured eight feet wide, and took up two reinforced king-size beds. Her bustline measured over 100 inches, and her hips carried 200-lb "saddlebags" that hung down her thighs as far as her knees. "People would visit me and sit on the bed, not realizing they were sitting on part of me," she recalled. When she fell out of bed, rescue workers used an inflatable cushion designed to right overturned cars to get her back into place. After being treated for symptoms of heart failure, she was eventually persuaded by Richard Simmons to embark on a five year diet, an experience she described as hellish. Tortured by hunger, by fast-food commercials, and by dreams in which she ate without limit, she nevertheless got down to under 300 pounds, setting a world's record for weight loss. She later sued the Star tabloid for suggesting that she couldn't have intimate relations with her husband at over half a ton.

Way to go Richard Simmons!

When you get to the point that you can not see your dick when you go to take a piss, a little bell should ring in your head that reminds you to STOP EATING.

It's not as much about not eating as it is not getting any activity to burn up the calories. Although a few of them seemed to just do nothing but eat all day. o_O

Next time you are in a public place, take a look at the % of people that are overweight. It will amaze you at the amount that need to loose pounds. I was in the Mall recently and estimated 50 % were needed to loose weight. I think some of the latest studies said that obesity is related in the cause for the most deaths including cancer.

I'm underweight of 35 pounds...

It's horrible, how can they let themselves go like that? There's a point where you should realise that you are too fat.

Some people just can't help gaining weight for whatever reason. I do agree that most Americans are overweight. But not everyone should crucified for being 10 lbs over weight, nor should anyone crucify someone who is 200 lbs overweight. Some people lost whatever motivation they had when people just dump on them about being fat.

Me, i only eat crapnel's nades.... :blow:
