Is it a shame that I don't feel sorry for some of these people? I mean come on, "why am I so huge?" Well let's see how you are eating. The thing that bothers me the most is they lose weight on there own before surgery. Then they depend on the surgery.
shareIt's so true you mention that , I was thinking why get surgery when most of them can lose weight on their own anyway
shareWhen they're 700-800 lbs they lose weight pretty quickly. However, as their weight goes down so does the progress with the same effort. Its much easier to go from 800 to 700 lbs than from 300 to 270 lbs.
So these people usually lose 20-30 lbs per month and that when they're the heaviest. It would take a long time to get to a normal weight - and some of these people don't have a long time.

When I first started watching this show, I had a lot of sympathy for them. I was overweight when I was younger (although I was nowhere near 600+ lbs) so I know from the personal experience what's like to live with the extra weight.
But as the time went by, I started losing the sympathy because all these people have one thing in common - they're all extremely mentally weak. I don't know if they expected that life will be perfect and without any difficulties, but it appears that they can't deal with any hardship without escaping to food. And I'm not sure how that help them at all considering that they're in constant pain and bedbound (most of them).
These people don't need Dr. Now. They need 6 months in a boot-camp with somebody like R. Lee Ermey to stop being whiners.

I kinda feel sorry for them but then I think that they created their "disability" on their own. I want to see them succeed though
shareI feel sorry for them in the beginning of the show when they look like they are in a lot of pain. Must be awful
shareThey have created their own hell. SO?

Then you should also deny help to struggling single moms, people who get lung cancer or people who break a leg skiing...or soldiers with PTSD, for that matter! Is that what you're propagating?
shareI feel sorry for what happened to them that led them to gain the weight. No one deserves to be abused, traumatized, abandoned etc. and for those who take the responsibility to change themselves and do what they're supposed to, but I don't like the way they demand to be taken care of and throw tantrums when they don't get the food they want(don't need). But, the ones who make constant excuses and never change, I don't feel sorry for at all. In those cases I feel sorry for the kids who don't have a choice.
shareNothing "happened to them" that led to wait gain. They are fat because they shove way too much high-calorie food into their faces and sit around on their gigantic asses too much. It's entirely their fault, and they are the only ones who can fix it by altering their behavior.
