The Obese are self-loathing, lazy, lethargic leeches on society. The Obese are revoltingly foul-smelling and are always eating and sh-tting. I have absolutely no respect for The Obese.
Please discuss.
I tend to believe many of them have a very low I.Q which means they can't modulate their appetite properly and have problems with compulsive behavior. I don't have respect for them either, I have pity to a degree but not any disdain. They are very pathetic individuals.
shareOh lordy! The one on tonight, Bettiejo, she lied about having cancer to get sympathy and attention, then her creepy husband went along with it and became angry when Dr. Now questioned her tall tale. No wonder they postponed her update last year and only now aired it.
shareI never saw her original episode (I just started watching this show this season). She's obviously just making excuses for her inability to overcome her food issues (deeper issues than food, but...).
The boyfriend MUST really know that this isn't true, but like a lot of the husbands of the obese, they want to keep them fat and dependent upon them because they are afraid of losing them for various reasons...I think in one of the "flashback" parts of her story last night Dr. Now (or someone) might have actually said as much.
The "trigger" in almost all of their stories are abuse (physical or sexual or both). So I certainly see how traumatic things like this from your childhood cause issues later in life. Either food, drugs, all self destructive tendencies. Not that traumatic things are excuses for self destructive behavior, it just greatly lends itself to these types of lifestyles, it shouldn't be an excuse or used as a crutch. You need to learn how to overcome sh*t in your life, this is what the show is about.
shareI disagree. They just use it as a crutch. The truth is they're just low I.Q people who like to binge eat. Their stomachs are stretched so their appetites are enormous. Obesity research demonstrates that a lot of fat people DO lack a specific hormone that tells their brain they're full and also tend to have lower adaptive functioning for adults or children their age.
shareThe hormone thing aside, don't almost every single one of their stories involve abuse/severe neglect?
I'm not certain that the obese are generally dumber than most, just look at that biopic The Nutty Professor, that dude was smart as hell and fat.
Biopic! Sci Fi comedy starring Jerry Lewis. Remake with Eddie Murphy in a fat suit.
shareI cringe a little at what you have said, while simultaneously agreeing. The great majority of people will remain thin, or attain thinness, by expending more calories than they consume. It really is just that simple, for most people. Having watched quite a few episodes of "My 600 Pound Life", I can not avoid the conclusion that these people refuse to control their diet and exercise because of psychological disorders or low intelligence.
