    No joke, but I still wonder how someone gets that big in the 1st place. I mean I just can't imagaine that. You would think that he would notice a problem at around 450 or so. But anyway I wish him luck and I hope he makes it.

    Eesh.. I agree, Kitana. Between this guy and the 600 LB lady that grew into her couch, I&#039;m amazed that no one intervened when they saw them headed down that road.

    But I do hope he meets his goal. It&#039;d be an amazing success story indeed.

    I can see where you guys can say " how did he get so big" or "why no one intervened" but do you know someone with a drinking problem? Drug problem? What do you say to them? More times than not you say nothing. I struggle with his problem every day and every day it beats me. I&#039;m addicted to over eating. I&#039;m not going to go on and on like I should or want to but please don&#039;t think of it like you do.

    big daddy im right there with you, obesity IS a genetic disease. but i WILL go on and on.

    my dad was obese, my sister was obese and both had to take drastic measures to help them.

    now im in the same boat, i was very active and holding my own with my weight. then i fell 20&#039; and fractured my L2 vertebre, and was in a body cast for 3 months and its taken 4 years to get back to doing SOME of the activities i used to do. in that time even though i watched how much i ate, i have gained 100lbs!

    and obesity doesnt just cause the diabetic and heart problems you here about, it also cause the stress, anxiety and depression problems which just spirals into a eating disorder. since my accident and my inactivity and weight gain i have been put on prozac for stress/depression, xanax for anxiety, and have tried almost every weight loss drug that can be perscribed. i am currantly taking phentermine for weight loss and it appaers to be working.

    i now go to the club 2 times a week to work out on tread mill and eliptical machine then stretch/work on mobility in pool.

    but its still not easy, especially when theres skinny young people looking at you and smirking (look at that fat old man) i cant do as long or as fast as them and its very visible.

    so i can completely understand how people can get into this situation, i work hard every day to not end up that way.
    but it gets discouraging sometimes when all you do is drink water, eat low carb, or eat low fat, or even balanced meals and you still gain weight.

    i now look at my 12 yr old son and see he looks a bit thick, and i worry! i try to get him to be active but sometimes i also worry im putting my currant problems on him.

    sorry but thats my thoughts and ravings.

    im damn sexy and you know you want me!
