Do fat people not see they are getting fat?

I am not talking about chubby, I am talking morbidly obese

A person has a mirror and they can see that they are getting heavier, does it not calculate in their brain to eat less and exercise to either stay the same or reduce..

Do they not care?
or is the food addiction that strong?

 

I don't think a lot of people realize that they are getting fat until they are already fat. Or they were fat since childhood, maybe.

 

Some people can not help it.

 

Care to elaborate here?

 

i think its kind of like smokers who have cancer...after a while its just like fuck it

 

It's not like it happens over night... very gradual changes in most cases so it is harder to notice I would think.

 

I guess if it's a gradual thing - i.e. over-eating, lack of exercise and indeed age - everyday, looking in the mirror sees little (daily) change.
Photographs (e.g. Annual) are more striking
Some 'lose the will' or is a reaction to loss/tragedy I have seen
And there are others - which don't care -for no good reason
-
There are also those however, to whom a Medical condition takes over any will and desire - so for those it must be a double mental anguish - and to those I feel for

 

I thought you were fat...?

 

I thought you were fat

 

I was sure you had a picture of a fat girl in your album, but I might have been wrong, who knows

 

I never thought that was him.

 

you guys put real pictures of yourself here? Go tell

 

Don't act all offended now, I just asked

 

I do think Lorna is fat though, but who cares

 

not offended here..but thanks!!

 

exactly, who cares? I love rice pudding and I eat it everyday..

 

Sprint phone service fucking sucks. This is the third time I've typed this message only to lose it when I hit send. I keep forgetting to copy it before sending.

I know people with depression who are overweight. They have suffered very bad neglect and abuse. Weight loss is the last thing on their minds when they don't even feel like living.

I know there are those who have overcome depression and I applaud them. However not everyone lives the same life with the same influences, support, resources or tools for coping. Everyone has a different brain and a different environment.

My thumbs are stiff from typing, I wish there was a hell and sprint would go straight to it

 

So in regard to the original post, when did you find out?

 

LornaDoom are you a guy or a girl? I thought that picture was you.

 

fast-food addiction is no joke. I know some landwhales who just cant stop eating sugary shit..They just cant stop. I heard these type of addictions can be treated with naloxone. that substance is used to save the lives of ppl who are od ing on heroin. these two addictions effect the same receptors in the brain
