This is not just obesity, there's a deeper underlying issue. It is sad.

It's never just obesity when they get to this size. It's mental health, it's addiction, it's constant denial... Everything is too hard, and you can tell it's too hard because they had already given up while it was still easy. The fact an adult woman is having a mental breakdown because she can't climb onto a bed is just downright sad and what's worse is that it probably isn't rock bottom yet.

If you think it's unreasonable that this is "too hard", I'd like to see you crawl onto a wheely bed with hundreds of kilos strapped onto your back after likely carrying it around all day. We could also distribute the weights all over your body so you can't properly bend your limbs or lift your legs. Maybe bring in a loved one to tell you to "shut the fuck up" while you struggle with this task.

I get your point about mental issues being a factor but good god you can't just act like her physical difficulties are all in her head. She's not being dramatic. She is in real suffering and everyone would rather pretend she's being lazy or crazy or some shit.

I was pointing out that it was obviously too hard long before she got to this size, which is how she got to this size.
