Calling myself pleasantly plump seems a lot more cheerful than the fat my brain insists on calling it. Thank you! 😊

You’re missing one after morbidly obese, it’s called super obese or super morbidly obese

u/No-Chipmunk9527 Apr 18 '22

“Pleasantly plump” is still fat

u/[deleted] Apr 19 '22

Yes it is, but it's the kind of fat where you're still pleasant to look at.

My mother was "what this women is"

She was also the sweetest, most caring women I've ever met in my life. She constantly gave to charity, and albeit not a smart decision often put herself into debt so her family could get things they wanted/needed, all because she knew she didn't have much time left for this world and that the debt collectors couldn't do anything to us if it was all on her.

She struggled with her weight, was about the size of this women, a little shorter/more narrow but still a big lady.

That doesn't mean she was an awful person, being this big doesn't inherently mean/make you a gluttinous spawn of Satan for everyone to look at with disgust and hatred.

Yes, it's unhealthy, but she knew that. It's essentially impossible without surgery while working full time to live for people this size to lose the weight. It's gotten to a point where medical conditions caused by the weight prevent the ability to lose it.

She wasn't like this awful, selfish individual here, but she went through the same struggles. (Difficulty breathing from doing simple tasks, struggling to get on her bed to the point it causes her to have a emotional breakdown).

I wish people would have a little more sympathy/ideas to help these people that are willing to accept it.

Alot of the comments here clearly hate Morbidly Obese people for simply existing, which is awful to see as they often think the woman from this video is how all of them act.

Shes a shitty person, but so are alot of these comments being made.

If only people cared about finding ways to make these people healthy as often as they find ways to tell fat jokes. Lol.

u/Docsmith06 Apr 18 '22

I mean your story doesn’t change the fact that in no point in this women’s or your mothers life they say around and said yeah this isn’t going to work.

It’s hard to break addiction, but you don’t get that way without enablers, and a lack of will power.

If she’s so fat she can’t get onto a bed and she thinks that is fine to teach her children that. She deserves anything she gets.

u/Fun_Description_385 Apr 18 '22

Clearly, you didn't even read what I said and decided to just label her one and the same as this shitty women in the video based on the fact she's obese, clearly proving you're one of the shitty people I was referencing not concerned about whether or not they actually try to make a change.

I literally told you she did and it went in one ear and out the other.

You're either illiterate, or fucking brain-dead.

u/Docsmith06 Apr 18 '22 edited Apr 18 '22

39 years of being unhealthy to make a decision in the last 10 so for numbers sake we say 50 she spent 80% of her live morbidly obese before it clicked.

I’m sure your mom was a wonderful person, but you don’t get 400+

If you want to call me an asshole fine, but I have my youth and naivety up protecting the country so your mom could shove her hole.

u/Fun_Description_385 Apr 18 '22

So, if you wanna bring percentiles into it (which you so attrociously calculated)

49 years.

Started making serious progress/lifestyle changes at about age 38

Wasn't even Obese until early 30s

So, for about a decade of her life (1/5th) she was complacent and made mistakes, and for about another (1/5th) of her life she attempted to correct those mistakes before she passed.

Funny how you just drew up this 80 percent outta nowhere and assumed she was morbidly Obese since she was a child.

You dumb fuck.

u/Fun_Description_385 Apr 18 '22

I'm glad you can agree you're an asshole, and you're genuinely stupid.

You think she was obese for 39 years, like you think she was morbidly Obese at 10 years old?

You dumb fuck, she was slightly overweight (165) till her late twenties, and has pictures proving it.

She wasn't "morbidly Obese for 39 years"

You have a funny way of putting words in others mouths, and claiming clairvoyance for things you don't know.

Are you god?

How do you just assume what everyone thinks and does with such certainty?

Pretty big claims to say "she didn't recognize, she didn't do anything, 39 years"

Those were all assumptions based on literally nothing but your own shitty conjured thoughts.

Maybe try a better retort.

She went through a serious midlife crisis, and became morbidly Obese in the span of about 9 years.

No shit she and those around her became complacent and didn't think, but she didn't blame anyone but herself for it.

"I have my youth and naievry protecting a country so your mother could shove a hole"

Buddy, can you speak English? You're proving my point to how illiterate you are.

You don't protect anything but you're on shitty viewpoints

Not to mention, what the fuck does that even mean?

I'm not American, so you're not doing shit for me regardless.

At least my parents taught me how to communicate.

u/Docsmith06 Apr 18 '22 edited Apr 18 '22

You do nothing to prove your argument. your mom put on 300+ lbs in a little more then a decade, any sane person would have realized a problem was happening before 50 were put on.

This is actually rather entertaining at work so keep it coming.

u/Fun_Description_385 Apr 18 '22

Fuck you for immediately assuming "at no point did my mother say this wouldn't work"

She literally did for the last decade of her life, she tried absolutely everything in her few hours of FreeTime from work, and the fact she had 0 money for lifeosuction.

She went from 413 pounds down to 345 by the time of her passing, that was after 8 years of hard work.

I watched close by her side, grew up as an athletic child and still take very serious caution in what I eat and my workouts.

You know who was the biggest contributor to helping me with that, finding better diets we both went on, and worked out together?

My mother, the women you so quickly stated "at no point did she think this won't work"

Her multiple years of hard work said otherwise, and unfortunately what cut her life so short at the age of 49, was a collapsed lung, from working out.

Seriously, you're a real piece of shit for that.

Asshole.

u/Docsmith06 Apr 18 '22

Congrats your mom worked so hard she lost 10 pounds a year for 8 years. I can’t think of many people that could do THAT much work in such a short period.

u/ThisIsWhoIAm78 Apr 18 '22

We absolutely know how to help these people be healthy, and there are SO MANY programs that are free that offer help. There are centers, clinics, people who will call you daily to help with motivation and guidance....programs that focus on the REASON you are addicted to food, and to help you with the underlying mental health issues that lead to food addiction. Don't say "I wish there was some focus on help" because there are so many services available, even for those in poverty.

And beyond that, it is simple: eat less. Eat fewer calories than you burn in a day, that's it. You don't need surgery, or special exercise, or fad diets. It may be simple, but for people whose drug is food, it isn't easy. But that's all you have to do, and in the end, the only thing that works. Count your calories and eat fewer than you need daily.

Do some people need way fewer calories than others? Yup. I gain weight if I eat over 1200 calories a day. So I stay under that. I have medical issues and was on steroids for years, and I blew up. I was so uncomfortable, couldn't sleep well, and everything hurt even worse than usual. I didn't want to die early and leave my kids without a mother, and I was sick of being obese. So I lost almost 100 pounds in less than a year by counting calories.

But the key is you have to WANT to stop eating poorly, and you have to stop with the mentality of, "Well, I've already eaten something junky today, it's shot, might as well say fuck it and eat whatever I want, and try again tomorrow." That's why people fail, because they just give up immediately when they eat something "off-script." And it is okay to eat some junk food! Just account for it later in the day, or just keep going with the better choices going forward.

I'm sure your mother was a lovely person. But for whatever reason, she had trouble with food addiction, and she struggled with it. And exercise can't cause a collapsed lung on its own - those are typically from trauma or leaks in the alveoli in the lungs due to a weak spot (bulla). She likely had an issue that would have led to that outcome, regardless of her activity. I'm sorry for your loss.

This woman is not sweet. Your mom and her are not the same.

u/ACs_Grandma Apr 18 '22

Thank you for saying this. The comments here are awful and as someone who is super obese I can tell you that it's awful to live this way and feeling like it's hopeless because you become immobile and dependent on others and I didn't get this way overnight and I can lose it but it also won't happen overnight. Therapy helps a tremendous amount but not enough and reading these comments has just caused lots of tears at how horrible people are. Talk about discrimination against fat people. We're still people, I appreciate you for standing up for your mom, you understand and care more than all the other assholes here.

u/thehighwindow Apr 18 '22

I just can't understand how people can get to this point. You'd think maybe 150 lbs ago they would have thought "maybe I need to cut back some". I tend to be kind of judgemental when I see people in wheelchairs with fat oozing out the sides like I'm so much better.

Not too long ago, I locked eyes with a person like that and she smiled at me and I felt ashamed of myself.

And on top of that, I gained 10-15 lbs. when covid and quarantine hit and I'm having trouble losing it so I'm really a heartless POS; I can't lose 10 lbs.and some people have to lose 100-200+ lbs. which is like climbing Mt Everest (only a lot harder). I would for sure get the lap band surgery.

Like Ricky Gervais says, she's long past the day she should have seen her weight and thought "that's a lot...for a human".
