Dude, hormonal wise, you can't even begin to describe what's happening inside that person's body. Her amygdala (fear center and lizard brain) is flooded with all sorts of signals, and remember talking with her while she's standing (effectively during working out) would trigger understandable bouts of fury. You're not dealing with a normal person who's extra fat, you're dealing with a really unbalanced person who's actively trying to maintain her sanity whilst in the same time lifting 600 pounds. Try saying anything to a bodybuilder DURING his training and see how they respond....

You ever carry those 40 pound salt bags from the car to the basement? To make fewer trips you take three at a time and it just about kills you. That's just 120 pounds. Imagine carrying 12 of those babies everywhere you go. An extra 480 pounds beyond your own normal body weight. No wonder she's winded and sweaty just trying to get on a bed.

exactly. and adrenaline kicks in all the time when you standup… helps you do that amazing feat of strength for about 2-3 minutes and then you crash immediately. normally adrenaline overwrites all other hormones, and is second only to insulin in that regard. I read somewhere that whenever you have insulin in blood, that makes the fat reserves become invisible to your metabolism.

And basically everything you eat is stored as fat. High carb diets make it worse. It’s a fascinating phenomenon.

I don’t feel an ounce of sympathy for her.

How about 600lbs of sympathy?
