How big is too fat

@pancakeslam It might be "fascinating" but also desperately tragic that there are people, of either sex,children as well as adults, who are seriously, clinically, very dangerously obese. The apparent increase in number may simply reflect more sufferers admitting it; but obesity is becoming more common in many "Western" countries.

There may be one or two illnesses that lead to obesity. Diseases more often make you lose weight, but not as you'd want. By far the most common cause of obesity is a combination of over-eating a poor-quality diet and little or no physical activity; and this is self-inflicted. Not by poverty as some try excuse it, but possibly by ignorance.


It's hard to imagine anyone so heavy: somewhere around 4 times normal adult mass.

600lbs = nearly 43 stone = approx. 1/3 ton.

Obviously such people - men as well as women - need help and encouragement to lose weight, and it is brave of them to admit it; but what's worrying is that some seem apparently to want to be so ill; and worse, there others who or may not be overweight themselves but who want to encourage such obesity.

The dangers? Well, they have been publicised widely for a long time, but particularly heart-attacks and diabetes that can lead to losing limbs or sight. While being severe obesity can soon prevent the sufferer taking part in ordinary life - including taking any physical exercise that may help them lose weight.


Quite apart from extra medical and care demands that would not otherwise be necessary.

Essentially those who are so seriously - and needlessly - overweight are heading for long, bed-bound decline to a slow, early and probably very unpleasant route to an early grave.

Those encouraging their obesity instead offering them help to recover from it, are wishing them that fate.


Followed by the indignities of having to be removed from their bed and home in a big wooden crate, by crane and lorry like something from a factory; to be interred by crane. (They can't be sent off in an ordinary crematorium intended for deceased humans.)

I adore very overweight women certainly over 600 and strive make them happy and comfortable. Enabling them to do as much as they want and eat whatever makes them happy@ArishMell

@Willomk1 What a tragic, cruel way to live: one binging herself into helplessness, needless illness and undignified death, the other encouraging her to do that for his own pleasure.

From your "inside knowledge" as it were, do know at all why this pair of fetishes exists or how it arose?

It seems a very peculiar and very severe eating disorder to want to make yourself into a helpless, disabled mass approaching a third of a ton. Indeed doctors might even say it is, but people with it need helping to recover, not encouraging to make themselves worse.

After all, you would not challenge an alcoholic to a drinking-game, or ply a lung-cancer sufferer with yet more cigarettes... would you?

I adore larger women and enable them to enjoy their lives now rather than dieting that had a huge failure rate @ArishMell

@ArishMell love the caring aspect too

@Willomk1 "caring"? Hardly. Oh, I know dieting is hard and takes determination, but that it fails for some people is not a reason to go totally the opposite way.

Fails long term for over 95% of people@ArishMell

And if your 500 or 600 pounds little chance of sucess

But enabling can make their life easier,and they get pleasure from eating
