To my mind it’s so simple – the answer is right there in front of everybody. People are being told everyday in one hundred different ways what the problem is.
But do they listen? NO! Why not? They’ve all become complacent. These morbidly obese people are actually, dare I say “content” with how they appear.
Now calm down and think about it! The people getting most upset about being in this predicament of being morbidly obese are the people who are “obviously” doing little or not enough to reverse the situation they find themselves in.
Think about it! Did it take you just twelve weeks or three months to load on all that weight? Did you one day just wake up and realize “Oh, my God, I’m morbidly obese”!
I think not! So why does everybody think that the only “cure” for them to remove all this weight is some quick fix pill they can swallow and they will wake up the next day, look in the mirror and see what they wish for.
The answer is moderation, exercise, getting your mind right and a support system.
Let’s look at moderation. This means if you eat four burgers, two lots of fries and 3 cokes to wash it all down – why not try one burger, one small fries and water BUT once a month as a treat!
Exercise seems to be dirty work in people’s minds. Let’s look at some really simple daily things you can do. It doesn’t have to be hard. Look back twenty or thirty years when morbidly obese people were not an issue. What do you see as the difference?
I see heaps of things like, getting out of your chair to change the television channel. Walking to the corner shop instead of getting in the car. Washing the dishes by hand at the sink instead of just loading them into a dishwasher. Walking through the supermarket buying fresh ingredients to prepare a freshly home cooked meal.
Do you realize how many calories these simple activities can burn? Just do the simple comparison to how much movement your body gets in a day compared to what the same body would do twenty or thirty years ago.
Now the biggest and most crucial part of turning your life around for the better is getting your mind right.
It’s not that hard either. Go to your local library, grab yourself a copy of “Think and Grow Rich”. Gosh if you look hard enough you can even find a free copy on the internet!
Last but not least and so important. Drink Water, at least two litres a day.
Help is out there, it’s coming, it’s going to be a complete package. Check back here, bookmark this page……it’s coming!

Well can you believe this? It has just been reported that Obesity will kill you before smoking does! That is just amazing. Hell, I can start smoking again....NOT! But seriously, according to the report, cigarette smoking cuts the average lifespan by ten years, while being seriously overweight can trim life expectancy by 13 years. The report says the obesity crises is so bad in the UK that if will take at least 30 years – nearly two generations – to reverse. So, what are you going to do TODAY about YOUR weight issues?

Actually Think and Grow Rich has ALOT to do with it. Most people jump to the conclusion that the title is referring to money - not so!
The actual premise of the book is that your mind is capable of so much power and control over your life - you have the power to choose the life you want. Reading the book gives you the key to that control.
Sadly you can't make people who are in denial hear what they need to. If they did have the ability to accept personal responsibility for their choices, they probably wouldn't be morbidly obese to begin with.
This is a good hub with good advice. Morbid obesity seems to start with an ill mind, not an ill body. Getting the mind right, as you say, is all about a happier more fulfilling life not just healthwise but emotionally. I don't know why people fight becoming happier when they are the ones with the most to gain.
Keep hubbing and don't let people push you into becoming an enabler that simply tells people just what they want to hear. I'm sure your useful advice will help at least some people who genuinely desire happy healthy long lives!
I'm not in the category of morbidly obese (thankfully), nor will I ever allow myself to be that way. I'm a bit overweight, but I'm mature enough to fix that before it ever gets worse. I'm glad you wrote this article, because people who aren't at this point need to wake up and do something before they can't move enough to fix it. I think the biggest problem is that many people would rather hear that they're beautiful no matter how large they are. While I agree that this is the case at times, I can't honestly say that about anyone who has allowed themselves to get that unhealthy. If someone is that sick, I don't see how it's attractive.
I'm glad you wrote this, because like I said, people who aren't yet morbidly obese need to read it so that they'll fix their lives. Good hub. I especially appreciate how you said that simple every day things burn calories, just because of the fact that people seem to be completely adverse to getting any exercise at all. I might not like the gym, but I do walk and I love to swim when I can. I think the problem is that people associate exercise with the gym and sometimes with embarassment, as well as the tendency people have to expect that just because something is easy makes it good for us. I think a lot of it has to do with emotional maturity, and deciding when to make healthy decisions and what those healthy decisions are. Nevertheless, please excuse my long-windedness. I appreciated this hub.
Hey, John, I am a chubby chaser and yes, there are people in this world that admire the larger figure. I am not saying that being that biug is necessarily healthy, but someone your size can come to a happy medium and realize that you can be on the heavier side and also be happy, especially when there are chasers like me who admire you and accept you as you are. So, would you like to hook up? Heheheh
Dear Donna,
I stumbled upon your site quite by accident. I was googling other weight related topics and noticed immediately that your site was very different than most of the sites I have visited. I noticed that your message toward morbid obesity is one low tolerance and personal responsibility and I have to agree with you. I speak as a morbidly obese person and the fact is the problem is the mind most of the time. Any program can work once one is ready to change his/her life. I have tried them all and I am tired of myself: the way I look and feel but the fact is my mind is sick, my mind is not convinced that I can accomplish this huge undertaking. I don't believe in making excuses so I don't...I eat too much - period. Exercise and content are irrelevant when one overeats so much so that they become 100 pounds overweight or more. In that, I hope that those who struggle with this (much like any other dependency) find that thing within them that makes the struggle and sacrfice worth it. I doubt from your article that you have ever been significantly overweight which is my only criticism of your article. I imagine that your opinion would carry more weight (no pun intended) had you been an obese person with a testimony of having overcome this monster.
To Lizethany
God Bless You for your message - it touched me, really, actually brought a tear to my eye.
It wasn't my intention to come across too harshly, truth be known I probably was trying to convince myself of what I was saying more than anything else.
I DO struggle with weight, I have been categorized as Obese AND I have lost the weight too.
I lost my weight by getting my mind "right" AND two triggers in my life also contributed to my success.
The first trigger was seeing an old flame and feeling totally ashamed of how I know looked. The second trigger was seeing my neighbour from across the road come out of her house and look absolutely amazing! She had lost HEAPS of weight and I just said to myself right then and there "If she can do it - I CAN TOO"!
That was all it took to get my mind right. Mind you I have slipped back, right now to be precise, maybe that's why your comment touched me so much.
I'm once again on the diet gravy train (oooo gravy) BUT I do confess my mind isn't quite in the right place yet I'm pushing ahead anyways.
Good Luck to you and every happiness for your future endeavours.
I get so irritated by people who refuse to help themselves. Life is about decisions and paying for the decisions if they happen to back fire. For example, just because there are fruits included in a meal or dessert doesn't count if those very fruits are smothered in sugar to juice them. It is a common mistake to accept that as a healthy serving. The fact of the matter is that obesity is a growing problem, and many companies strive upon this fact ( lets say, McDonald's of-course) but in my eyes i only see those who want to change and those who actually act on these desires. To me its a matter of dedications and desire. It is not to say that i am persecuting people for eating excessively or even on how they live and manage their lives, all I'm saying is that if people have the ability to complain they also have the ability to change.
ok yes there are people who eat & eat & eat & thats y there fat but have you ever thought that some people have a medical problem for the way they are???? I'v been picked on all my life for being fat ridiculed even by my own mother!!!! 13 years of non stop working out & starving myself!!!! nothing ever worked for me my mother would force diet pills down my throat & i just found out that there was a medical reason for y i would gain extream amounts of weight and was unable to loose it no matter how hard i tried. & i am just sick of skiny people picking on any one who is over weight get off of there backs you dont know why there the way they are yes maybe they do eat 5 hamburgers every meal but have you ever considered that they were sick? not sick because they over eat but because they have a hormone imbalance or that they might have a ovarian cysts???? thats all i have to say i know that people like you will never change because you cant put yourself in someone elses place!! think of how you would feel if the situation was reversed!!!
I've lost almost 100 lbs in a year. I'm still about 20 lbs overweight for my height, but
I know I will get there. I would like to blame my obesity on hormones or genetics or any number of things but the truth of the matter is I had not control, no control over any part of my life including my weight. I numbed myself with food, it was my only friend, sadly one of my only reasons for living. One day i looked in the mirror and I could not stand myself. people who say they are happy being overweight are decieving themselves. This summer at the beach I climbed a lighthouse for the first time in the 12 years we have vacationed at the outer banks. I climbed the sand dunes I walked the beautiful beaches. What an incredible joy!!!!!! I came alive since last year!!!! I walk about 3 miles a day and I watch what I eat . Whenever I think I want to cheat on my diet or miss my daily walk I remember how bad i used to feel and it keeps me on track. Dear Donna, God bless you for telling it like it is. Sometimes tough love is the only way to get to people. If I could just bottle the joy that I feel I would share it with all of my overweight brothers and sisters. My prayers are with you all
Some of us who are morbidly obese want to be that way. We enjoy the way we hare. Face it we made our choice to eat and become our size. In my case, I have put on 50 pounds over the last 6 months and am now at 355 and still gaining. I enjoy being very fat and love the way I feel and look. I know what being this size means and I know how my eating is affecting my size. I simply enjoy eating and love being fat and getting fatter.
Ever wonder why the healthiest people live in Colorado? Then I think next is parts of Cali by the beach?? Texas has 3 of the top 10 fattest cities in the country?? I don't. Health and happiness come with lifestyle choices and the product of your environment. I bounce back and forth b/t Topeka and Lawrence, KS (rock chalk KU!!) People are nicer and healthier in Lawrence vs. Topeka. Topekans seem to be upset all the time (I spent about 20 years in Topeka and am not upset at life) and are more angry it seems. Is it demographics that Lawrence has a Big 12 University and being in Douglas county, next to Johnson county (2 wealthy counties)? This means that people with wealth and contributing to their kids going to college will be healthier since the students have better nutrition. Lawrence is also a "green" town which promotes green vehicles, fuels, and overall wellness. Topeka...not so much. Topeka has a University, the only city funded University in the country actually called Washburn. It has great points about it, but seems that many of the people I see in Topeka are ghetto and want hand outs. There are more overweight people in Topeka than in Lawrence which suggests that there is a correlation somwhere.
The demographics in Topeka are "real" comapred to Lawrence since most of the kids live on loans and parent's money. So taking this info and using that for the nation, meaning income and access to healthy foods is a major factor to the obesity rates. I love sushi! It is a hell of a lot cheaper in Lawrence than in Topeka, therefor putting the price of that healthy food out of reach for more working people (not living on loans and parent's money). In inner cities, there are few if any establishments open that sell quality foods, and if they do, it is out of the price range of the people living there forcing them to buy what they can afford, which is poor quality foods.
In short, I grew up in a well-to-do family on the south west side of Topeka, have one college degree and working on a second. I have 2 rental properties, paying for school, and in great shape. I think that is is a little closed-minded to think that people can just "get off their asses" and fix themselves is quite literally...well, closed-minded. It takes education, access to the goods, and a support system to do most anything in life. It is much harder for poor people to have access to these establishments and types of food we take for granted. BUT...and I say BUT heavily...that with the Internet, the education is out there ONLY if the person chooses to seek it. The income they receive, however they receive it, is chosen ONLY by themselves on how they spend it. SO, if they choose to buy alcohol and cigs, then let them and Darwin will have his way with them in the end. Unfortunately, we have to fit the bill with their Medicaid prescriptions and doctor's visits. If they choose to research better diets and use their income for healthy foods, then I wish them well and hope they succeed in their weight loss plans.
Again, it comes down to education, access to the goods, and will.
hello i am a morbidly obese person i am 6ft 487 and i have a few things to say. i did not get to this size over night . people who have never been 100lbs or more over weight i really do not want to hear there opinions on my situation because we all know where opinions come from.the mental portion is the most vital to weight loss. and there are medical conditions that cause some folks to be over weight.i like many others have struggled with weight my entire life at one point i lost over 125 lbs and weighed 186lbs played high school football was a weight lifter for a period of time and fully understand the yo-yo effect. lets start offering more then just a kind word lets get some programs in place that deal with the real demons there fighting as well as the obvious demons. over eating is and i stress IS a disease. its been compared to drug addiction and other harmful addictions but lets stop and really think this through it's not just like other addictions when you kick cocaine or heroin or alcohol you stay away from it you never have to use it again and as long as you control a few things your going to do relatively ok not so with obesity. first of all you have to use the very thing that got you in the situation that your in. FOOD ! its a fact we all need it to survive. good choices or bad ones and we can exercise but with limitation. don't tell me all i have to do is walk around the block a few times a day to lose weight cause i will tell you lets put 300lbs on your back and see how many blocks you walk around. there's joint problems there's back problems highblood pressure diabetes and they are acompanied by most often lots of pain. and lets not forget the lack of oxygen. it is a vicious circle and i think that is what i'm trying to get across there is no quick fix and there is no miracle cure. the people that are obese are usually the one that are made fun of all there life excluded from social events shunned in one form or fashion and all of a sudden people wonder why there not mentaly in the game well DUH! you can't be the pincusion and expect when you are done poking holes in it that is going to mend itself. i do like the fact that there are people that try to give encouragement and offer guidance but before you all decide to throw someone under the bus because you think there self destructive think for a minute. i will say this fat can go away with tons of hard effort and bulldog tenacity and just an ounce of hope!
I feel so proud of larger or obese people I see out walking or running and trying to take control of their lives. I've never had a major problem with weight, but I can understand the fear or having others point and laugh at you for whatever reason. Don't feel ashamed to go out and be whatever you want to be, you have as much right to be on a running or walking trail or in the gym or outside in the fresh air as any world class athlete does. Just go for it, I'll be cheering for you and if any one laughs it's only because they have no confidence in themselves.
i feel really bad for these people and i wish them the best wishes
People need to understand that everyone does not have the same priorities in life and for some the priority is the consumption of food. For many people the stimuli associated with the consumption of food releases more endorphins associated with pleasure than the endorphin release associated with sexual orgasm. These people rapidly become addicted to food and grow to enormous proportions. My wife or 12 years is one of these people. She has been heavy all her life and comes from an entire family of larger people. In her family food is an integral part of their lives and a focal point for their daily existence. Consequently most of them are huge even by American standards. My wife is a pretty 34 year old blonde who stands 5’4” tall and is almost the same dimension wide. Her weight fluctuates between 580 and 600 pounds on average and she has been in this weight range for the past 6 years. She is a stay at home mom to our two daughters and she is happy and content with who and what she is. Unlike may supersized people she is still reasonably mobile and we take great pains in ensuring that she remains active. This includes a daily walk together, chasing after out two rambunctious kids and a daily swim in our pool (weather permitting). Even with all this we are keenly aware that her mobility has decreased dramatically as her weight climbs up the scale. We both know that ultimately she will become totally house and or bed bound the same way her mom and older sister have and we are prepared for this eventuality.
Many of our friends have asked why we haven’t done something about her weight and have suggested everything from various weight loss plans to surgery. But truth be told, I like her extremely fat and she is happy to remain so because this allows her to enjoy all her favorite foods with no associated guilt or regret. We both know that weight loss plans rarely work for people like her and personally she will have no part of weight loss surgery. I guess what I’m trying to say is that people need to understand that some people are just destined to be bigger and being so lead their lives differently than what others would consider normal. Not all fat people are desperate to lose weight and most only behave that way because of societal pressure forced upon them by the media. Most fat people would much rather be fat and accepted as they are without the ridicule and guilt associated with being overweight in a society that worships thinness. Many of the statistics that are quoted regarding obesity, disease and excess mortality are not scientifically supported in an accurate and truthful manner and are disguised as fact by a pharmaceutical and diet industry that is only interested in making money off of people’s insecurities. The diet industry in US is a multi-billion dollar scam and spends millions of dollars in promotion and advertisement for the latest and various weight reduction schemes and yet Americans are getting fatter by the year. This is in part due to the fact that diets and even so forms of surgery do not work for the chronically obese and the industry itself knows this. They are only interested in self perpetuation and will never cure obesity until the incoming cash flow associated with it has dried up.
There a FEW medical conditions that cause obesity. I love how people always blame it on a medical condition. Obesity is a drain to society. It makes health care outrageous. I am so tired of hearing about I can't walk because I am dragging around 300 lbs. Get a life you fat losers.
Fat people are not the major cause of the skyrocketing healthcare costs in this country. That is a fallacy promoted by those that don’t want the real causes to become public knowledge. The main cause in the cost of rising healthcare is greed and mismanagement. It is based in medical insurance fraud, lawsuits, hi-tech medical procedures that hospitals and pharmaceutical companies charge exorbitant fees for and advertising performed by big pharma. Large pharmaceutical companies spend millions in advertising waste promoting their latest miracle drugs on TV and in magazines. Big pharma spend more in advertising than they do in R&D. They also spend huge amounts of money literally bribing doctors and hospital administrators by providing them with free trips all over the world to attend seminars to promote their latest and greatest technologies or drugs. All this mismanagement and waste gets passed on to the consumer. Fat people are just a drop in the bucket when it comes to the rising cost of healthcare.
I wish the answer was just in front of me. My whole life I was told how fat I was. I was active. Even in my twenties I worked out and at enjoyed life, was never able to loose weight and keep it off. In the last ten years I now understand weight management is more then calorie in and calorie burned. A calorie is not the same to each person. Food is adictive, Food is comfort, Food is not judegmental. People are more supporative to a person dealing with achool and/or drugs, then someone with a weight problem. If the answer was simple, then I would not struggle so much. Just in the last five years have I become morbidly obese - this is my only health issue, no sugar, no high blood presure, no cholesterol. I have a busy life and I keep up. I have done everything that is not extreme (surgury) to loose weight. I have started to work out at home because of the looks and stares from people at the Y (who don't know me - but judge me) I hardly go to restuarants anymore due to the same kind of looks. I found this site by accident and could not resist to speak up. I am a fat person who is tired of being judge for my size. I do watch my calories, I eat healthy, I don't eat fried foods, I limit snacks. I don't consume alot of sugar. I eat whole grains. My knees are beginning to hurt, since I am pushing myself to move even more. Not all fat people are the same, stop acting like is simple math problem a third grader can do.
here's an idea - STOP EATING!!!!
I have been heavy my whole life, 20-25 lbs. When I became pregnant my weight ballooned to 60 lbs overwieght. My choices in life to eat what I ate, how much I ate and exercise or not affected my weight. Twice I have lost the weight through exercise and diet. The second time what killed my progress was that I developed a herniated disk which landed me in a wheel chair and eventually surgery. I am much more limited now than I was before. This does not give me an excuse for being overwieght and causing the extra strain on my body. I have to both eat and exercise in moderation. I can only do a 1/2 hour walk each day. This means that I need to control my food and alcohol intake. I do not eat processed food. There are many reasons beginning with the caloric count being unnecessarily ballooned with things like corn syrup and hydrogenated fats. One of the things I discovered is that it does not matter if it is the 10 lbs of vanity weight, 60, lbs or more of real weight, the emotional struggle is the same. Believe it or not, in the mind of a woman who has put on 10 lbs, she may as well have put on 100, because that last 10 lbs is the hardest. If people started reading labels and caring then we would have a healthier society. I have almost always cooked healthy and it is about portion control. Anyone who says they are happy being more than about 30 lbs overweight is lying and needs a good shrink. We all have our battles, limitations, challenges and need to get over ourselves and decide that WE are important enough to take care of!
To those of you that think those of us that are obese are losers, look in the mirror and see if you have any flaws. Examine yourselves and ask yourself, am I kind to others? Do I tell lies? Am I a hypocrite? Have I ever cheated on my spouse? I suspect that some of you will say, what does that have to do with being obese? Everyone deals with pain, sadness, loneliness, low self esteem differently. Instead of looking down on obese people, maybe you could show some kindness and not judge, after all we all have our problems. Maybe yours just doesn't show on the outside.
i couldnt resist commenting on this article. i am a 31 yr old woman who currently weighs 365lbs. i have always been the chubby girl. all of my baby pictures are of a fat kid. i was picked on in school, picked on by family members and also strangers as i grew up. i felt like an outcast. when i was 16 i turned to drugs to help me lose weight. (not something im particularly proud of but we all make mistakes) i got down to a nice 140lbs and realized that i still wasnt happy. i fought to get off drugs.(ive been clean now for 6yrs)in the process of becoming drug free i put all of my weight back on and then some. so here i sit today looking for help groups and exercises that i can do. i walked 1/3 of a mile about an hour ago and by the time i made it back to my house i felt like my back was going to snap. it isnt as easy as these thin commenters make it sound. if you've been thin all your life you have no clue what it's like to be me and fight this fight every single day.
yesterday i made a comitment to myself to lose weight. today i set in into motion. i started a 1200 calorie diet. i started myself on leptoproil, and i quit smoking. i'm going to do everything i can to be a better me.. i realize that it's going to be tough. it isnt going to happen over night. but i have faith in myself that i will achieve success.
I applaud you Cheryl for taking action. Congratulations and I wish you every success with your new goals.
Ms. Cheryl,
I would like to comment on your post from 8 days ago if I may. I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am that you want to be a better you. Honestly I think you are wonderful the way you are. I have never seen you but I can tell that you have a beautiful spirit within. I just want to tell you that you will have great success on your journey to a better and healthier you. I pray that you are doing this for you and no one else. You do not have to be like everyone else. You do not have to change to fit in with the in crowd. If they want to call over weight people fat loosers; that just shows how mean and ignorant they are. I at my heaviest was 315lbs. I had lost weight before but because I was doing it for others and not myself I gained it all back. I never felt like I belonged to be happy even in my own family. I always felt alone and not good enough for anything. Finally I was called by God and He gave me a choice. I could accept Him or deny Him. Thank God I chose Him and He saved me from my sins and made me a child of the king and He told me that no matter how big or how small I was that I was some body and I was important to Him. He created us all equally and He does not love one more than the other. You know because I had always been talked about and made to feel like I was nothing I had a hard time listening to God when He told me that I was His and that He loved me and that He gave His life for me. I had so much doubt that some one like me could ever do anything to please the Lord. I never thought that I was worthy to even say I loved Him for all that He had done for me or my family. But thank God for not leaving me by the wayside because I just could not see past my own self doubt. God loved me too much to let me stay the way I was spiritually. Once He changed me spiritually I began to seek Him for the help that I needed to change me physically. I have learned to put God first and to follow Him and to trust Him to give me the desire and the will power to be everything I can be for Him. I started wanting my physical being to feel like my spiritual being and I began telling every one just how good God was and I praised Him for the blessing of seeing my self as He saw me. I have been saved for 6 years and the closer I drew to God the more I wanted to be set free from my weight that I felt was a limitation to be able to do anything for the good or even try to win souls for Him. Even though God told me He could use me no matter what as long as I was willing to be used. Even though I knew that I would always allow the devil to slip back in and destroy me and the testimony that I thought I had. The closer I get to God the more satan tries to tear me down. Satan uses the people that we love to hurt us and sometimes he uses our church family to hurt us and to silent us from telling others just how good God is. But finally I began to catch on to his tricks and deceptions. God strengthened me and gave me the will power to be all I could be for God and once I had done that God also gave me the will power to change my self into a willing vessel that desired to be used of God for the greater good and I was so excited to know that God was the Potter and I was the clay and that He would pick up the pieces when I was broken and He would mold me into what He wanted me to be. He will never throw the clay away and He will never leave us or forsake us. So when others make you feel like you are nothing and can not do anything for God just know that God loves you for you and not for what others may want you to be. We are a work in progress and one day we will be His master piece and a complete work of art that pleases Him reguardless of what others think. It took me a very long time to really believe this becouse I was so blinded by what others were telling me. But once I finally got the big picture from God I began to see myself very differently and I allowed God to help me with the will power that I needed to be a mighty witness to His testimony. And God began to use me as a prayer warrior for others and the more confident I got in God the more I desired to do my part in changing myself because I was able to see just how much He loved me and as of yesterday when I went to my doctor God had blessed me to lose 73 lbs. I still have a long way to go but I praise God where ever I go for each and every ounce that I have lost. It is only by the Grace of God that I am where I am Today. I now weigh 242lbs. and if for some reason that I never lose another ounce I will be satisfied knowing that God's Grace is sufficient. I do not desire for any one to doubt themselves because of what other people may say or do to destroy us because one might be a bit larger or have more worldly posessions than others. Be proud of who you are and trust God to show you and guide you to where you need to be. Every one of us was created just the way He wanted us. I will end with this if you desire to lose weight make sure that you are doing it for you because tha't what you want not because others told you that you need to. Everyone on this blog that has wrote in about their weight and even the ones that were not bold enough to write in and only read what others have posted please know that I truely do wish you the best and I will lift you up in prayer that you have your every desire come true. We all have the same Heavenly Father and He loves us each and every one and through this blog He has allowed us to come together to support one another. I hope that I have not offended any one because that was not my intention. I do apoligise if I have said something wrong or out of line but it is my desire for us all to support each other and not point fingers at each other and hurl out painful insults and comments. Each one of us is on a journey and I wish the best for us all. Take Care & God Bless you all.

STFUWhere to even start with this article, lets start with my size, I am 6'3, 587 lbs and I am 27 years old. Yes I understand that I did not put on the weight that I have overnight or over the course of 1 year. I have been very large all my life and I am trying to work with my docters after leaving one that would no longer work with anyone and follow up, to lose weight that I have to lose to live. There though are alot of other considersation that need to be taken into account when trying to lose as much weight as I have to.
1. Most Diets do not take into account the morbidly obese they say here is your limit that is all, this is all you need, and they are full of (*)it when it comes to us we have other calorie requirements that they do not include.
2. Finding exercise equipment that we can use is very hard, right now I am working on water excercises because I can barely fit onto the larger equipment.
3. I cook almost every meal I eat, I would say at least 85% of the time, I use fresh fruit and vegetables in my cooking.
WTF DOES Think and Grow Rich have anything to do with this BS that you are spouting off.
