i'm quite certain i'm not fat... not sure what everyone was expecting this thread to be, i thought the title made it pretty clear.
don't feel bad for this guy, he's a wanker who's own mum sold her own house to pay for his food. wanker. he also got loads of money paid for his surgery. he got sacked from the postal service for stealing letters. karma?
Wow! Yes, that picture sure makes me feel skinnier. Good job for that man losing all of that weight. Now I feel the need to run on my treadmill for an hour!
yeah well done for getting your stomach stapled on tax payers money and getting yourself really fat on your Mums money because you were a thieving lazy postman.
it's like most of these obese people aren't even stopping the food addiction they are just getting fat enough so they can get the free stomach surgery... i think this guy got liposuction as well, not 100% but i'm sure i just get informed that. (i think his mum paid for it....)
I want to blame the usual suspects Monosodium Glutamate, Corn Syrup, and Fast Food (addictive as heroin) but clearly this guy was house-bound which meant someone (who should be shot) was providing him with whatever he wanted hotwater
Wow, this dude had done a 180 and changed his shit around. Good for him, but bad for my eyes lol. Wasn't prepared but i see this shiz (obese folks,close to naked) literally every day.
dangit, keep forgetting people love stereotypes, but i see your point...errm i work in a hospital as a nurse aid. I've seen my fair share of clinically obese folk there, esp when i help them to the restroom. :biker: I agree, someone should have put a stop to his excessive eating long before he couldn't leave his own home because he couldn't physically do so. At least he is finally do something about his weight, def a success story
People who get this obese usually have tons of things going against them. They usually have some type of emotional problems since young and their "mums" feed them to make them feel better all throughout life because she is too fucking lazy to raise her child properly. Of course it's easier to shove food in a child's mouth than it is to actually sit down and spend some time with them. But on the other hand I personally could not and would not allow myself to EVER get that big. Which shows that this dude obviously doesn't give a shit about anyone, not even himself.
Yes, it was emotional problems that caused his obesity. If any of you had read the story (instead of just looking at the pic), you'd understand he was under emotional stress from losing his dad and his mother's poor condition. He started to eat 20,000 calories a day (10 times normal), and eventually had get his intestines stapled. So it was not ANYTHING HE DID that caused the weight loss. It was surgery. So he shouldn't get any credit for having done this on his own. And yes he did it on the public's dime. And he needs another million dollar surgery to get rid of his skin flaps. But the public won't cover it this time... I feel sorry for the dude, but if he got some counseling when he needed it, this might've been avoidable. And for anyone who thinks the gov't shouldn't have to pay for his surgery, then I suppose no gov't or insurance company should have to pay for illnesses related to alcoholism or tobacco use since those are also avoidable...
Yeah so do people who generally get addicted to crack and heroin and a lot of peoples parents do help pay for their addictions.
