How much do you weigh? Now tack on 400lbs. Of course you can't carry that around. Because you're not carrying around 400lbs. You're carrying around 550+lbs.

You obviously didn't read much of what I wrote in detail. I clearly stated that I weighed 235lbs. And yes, it's pretty fucking obvious that I would add that 400lbs to my own body weight. I'm not fucking retarded.

There's many things going on that causes people to become obese. It's not simply laziness and eating so much. But I wouldn't expect you to understand that.

I understand that ALL too well. But I wouldn't expect you to understand that 99% of it is from laziness and not eating properly. Give a fat person a 1,500 calorie a day diet and they'll start dropping weight without doing a damn thing. Your body burns calories even when you're sitting around. It burns calories to maintain your body temp, breathing, and keeping your body going.

Take Michael Phelps for example. Dude eats more in a single day than I have ever seen from an obese person. Yet look at him. Now lets say he gives up swimming, takes on a more sedentary lifestyle. Guess what, he's gonna probably put on some weight. He's used to eating so much, his body is expecting it, he'll forget that he's not being so active anymore, force of habit.

Sorry, I'm calling bullshit on this one. Phelps takes over 10,000 calories a day, but he's also burning them off as quickly as they're taken. If he just said fuck it, and quit swimming, he would go to a regular diet without a problem at all. A good friend played Defensive Tackle in the NFL for 10 years. He had to maintain weight at 300-310lbs while he played. He's been retired for about 10 years, now he weighs 210lbs and is as healthy as an Ox. People with discipline like that have no problem changing or manipulating their habits - and they're very in tune with their bodies. They have something that most fat people don't; self control and discipline.

Depression, Thyroid, Diabetes, many things cause issues with people and they gain weight.

Obesity is a cause of depression. There is medication and treatment for both Thyroid and Diabetes. The secret is that you have to follow the instructions. You have to follow the diet plan, take the medications, etc. Most fat people have no self control or discipline. I'm not going to say all of them, but a vast majority.

Good friend of mine was pretty active person, very good shape, got into a car accident, broke her back. She put on weight because of that. Of course if you saw her today, you'd think she's a fatass and be a judgmental prick. Couldn't expect you to understand anything, just that she's a lazy piece of shit who doesn't care about her body.

Has she fully healed from the wreck? Is she mobile? Can she walk? If you answered yes, then I don't feel sorry for her at all. Maybe she can use the accident as justification for getting fat, but deep down inside she's depressed and not willing to make a change. If she can get up, she can eat properly and do basic, basic exercises. So yes, I would be a judgmental prick if I ever met her because frankly, I loathe lazy people with no motivation or drive. But I would be judging her character, not her weight.
