I can understand someone with deep emotional problems getting this big, when they can feed themselves

but who in there right mind would keep pouring food down there throat when they become bed ridden :mad:

unfortunately the worlds not black and white, you need to deal with the underlying issues first

sookipeaspud

the underlying issue is being stupid.

Eat too much =fat = death.

There is no point in fluffing about and blaming society and how the obese related to their mothers whilst gestating in the womb which had an adverse effect and made them compulsive blah blah blah someone elses blah blah councilling blah blah emotional blah blah comfort eating blah blah

you see,i can actually see how folks get really fat
Im the type of person who has to watch their diet and has to maintain exercise
couple of years back i tore my chest cartilage quite badly
so i went from training at least 5 days and week and doing a physical job
to barely being able to walk
I admit it,i got fed up and sat on my !!! eating
at first i got away with it but as the weeks went on I piled on the weight
now eventually i healed and went back to work
so the weight dropped off
however if i hadnt healed in that time or hadnt had a physical job,then i could see my self on the slippery slope

There are a myriad of reasons why people become obese. Look up childhood adverse experiences and you will find one. If you eat 200 calories a day more than you need eg 1/2 pint full milk you will gain 21 lbs in a year - a stone and a half, before you know it you have a major weight problem. the difference between a slim person and a fatter person is a the alarm bell goes off earlier with the slim person, b maybe their gentoype is such that it not encourage fat storage, c maybe the slim person is just more succesful at dieting., etc etc for lots more reasons.

Historically to be overweight was a genetic advantage and as such people with a tendency to gain weight were succesful, unfortunately it is no longer necessary to store large amounts of weight for the coming famine in the western world.

Do not make assumptions about either the intelligence or earning potential of obese people, plenty of very overweight people earn a lot of money.

I am shocked at the ignorance of people and the belief that losing weight is simple. If it was that simple why do 86% of people regain their weight and all the critics, only comment if you do not drink, smoke or have other vices.

Next time you want criticise ask yourself am I living in a glass house?

Before you all make assumptions no I am not morbidly obese. However doctors do nothing to help lose weight, but smokers have help thrown at them, but you still see the amputees sitting outside the hospital, fag in hand.

And I'm shocked that a lot of the overweight think slim people are slim naturally and don't have to work at it. I actually agree with you that it is not easy but many people exercise their willpower and fight the urge to have that extra slice of cake or portion of fish and chips and stay hungry so they don't gain the weight. They don't come up with bogus excuses such as it is harder to kick the eating habit because you need food to live. I repeat my assertion that it is tasty food they are addicted to. If it was just food then it should not matter to them what they eat but somehow fruit and veg gets the big heave ho!

Mind you it is a fine example many show thier kids, drive them to the school gates in a chelsea tractor because they are too lazy to walk, take them to muckdonalds and feed them junk food because they can't be bothered to cook then sit them in front of a tv with a games machine or let them spend hours on farcebook because they don't want to do anything with them. We will soon have a generation of lazy obese young adults with zero social skills who are addicted to a little box and think the world outside is too scary for them.

Thor - did you not read the start of my post. Obesity is a VERY complex issue. It is not about self control - I assume since you are setting yourself up as a paragon of virtue, that you do not smoke or drink alcohol? Yeah right.

I have pointed out to you that it is not about an extra slice of cake or fish and chips - that is a stereotype and we all know how dangerous they are. It can be something innocent - if you ate 1 apple a day more than you need in 10 years you would have gained nearly 4 stone!!! By the time you are 40 you are 8 stone overweight and you can't for the life of you see why. As you gain the weight your body can do less and contrary to belief you do not burn more, necessarily, as your muscle mass has not increased. You develop insulin resistance and fatty liver and the weight gain increases and gains momentum. (Obviously this is more complex than an apple as in fact it is unlikely that if you ate 50 calories more of fruit and veg you would lay it down, but it is to illustrate that it is not obvious and that you may well not be a glutton)

There are a myriad of reasons to go into as to why people become obese mostly they are slow and insidious. I could write a 50 page report going into the genetics, psychological issues and many more. Then there is the hormonal changes and the inability of a fatty liver to burn fat, insulin resistance etc. etc. It is a very complex mechanism more so than alcholol or nicotine, IMO.

So to all that think losing weight is easy then make your fortune and enter the multi million pound weight loss industry, it isn't that easy.

Maybe if the health service invested the money in helping the overweight to lose weight with investigations, CBT, support then this problem could be solved.
