Hey.  Yes, dude has a major medical problem -- but here's my problem with the "the poor guy" theory.  He's huge.  You'd think that somewhere around 500 pounds when his clothes dind't fit him anymore he'd've stopped eating and go on a diet.  Or maybe at 700 pounds.  Or maybe even when the scale topped at 1,000 pounds he would have though "maybe I need to stop eating do damn much." 

 

I'm no skinny minnie - I have weight to loose too (about 50 lbs), but I don't blame anyone but myself for it.  I don't ask for sympathy and I certainly don't get to the point where I can't even stand up becasue my rolls of fat get in the way.  It's selfish, irresponsible and idiotic to get to that point.  

 

He may have a medical condition, but it makes me wonder how come the "morbidly obese people" condition never hits anyone in the third world counties - only here in the land of fat. .

actually, tlc ran a documentary on him... believe it or not, he's from mexico

 

i understand where you're going with the theory, and he was here in the US for a while, but has lived in mexico most of his life and is back there.

 

hope you don't mind the intrusion on your comment.

He may be in Mexico, but he's obviously still eating like a pig.  Third woruld countries are funny -- you're either wealthy or your dirt poor.  His family obviously has money if he's back in Mexico.  Put the man on salads and he'll loose weight. 

 

There was a show on last night called "I eat 33,000 calories a day"  These people were morbidly obease and it was absoluely gross how much they could eat at one itting.  The thing is though, they can't get up to get food for themselves, so whoever is giving them all that food is the idiot at this point.  The one man said "if she doesn't make me what I want, I get really mad and cry and she can't stand to see me cry so she gives me what i want"  -- okay, so -- it's an adult form of a tantrum and mom doens't have a backbone and is literally killing her son -- but at least he doesn't cry.  I mean -- where's the brain??!? 

well, according to the tlc special, the mexico dude lost 400 lb so far- they put him on the zone diet and apparently, it's working

Good!  I'm glad to hear it.  I was having a terrible time loosing weight, and my husband (being from the Philippines) said matter of factly "I don't know what the problem is - stop eating and you'll loose weight."  After I sulked for a few days, I realized the man (tactless as he was) was right.  I ate salads for a week and lost 8 pounds. 

What crawled up your ass and died? The guy's sick, fuck off.    

Hi tehhax0rz1337, Thanks for slipping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

Probably about the same thing that crawled up your ass and died Boo... no one really gives a fuck if the dude is sick... which he ain't really, he's just possessed by a fricking gluttonous spirit and doesn't heve the will power to help himself.

Hi alwaysdoot, Thanks for slipping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

um... I think he's from Mexico, if that counts as a third world country. I got nothing for your other questions though. I too find it hard to think I could just lay around and explode like that.

Hey Wendy - how's life treating you?   I believe Mexico is a third world country, although upon occasion, I'm wrong. 

 

I just don't understand it -- I mean, I understand addiction (believe me, I do!) and I understand being overweight (yep, I got that one under my belt as well) but to let yur body explode to the point where you can't leave your bed -- I can't wrap my head around that one.

 

 

Hi alwaysdoot, Thanks for slipping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

Life has been ok here, hope all is well for you too Boo. I know what you mean about the letting yourself go thing.

 

You got any idea how many two hundred pound ten year old's there are in America just cause the parent wants a welfare check?

 

You ever watch any of those little fat fuckers being paraded around on Maury's show? Hell I don't feel sorry for any of em... not even the little fat bastards cause their all getting just what they want.

His bedsores must be terrible....

 

::shudder::

Hi raien, Thanks for slipping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

That's true... I can see one on his left leg.

 

♥ Wendy

omg...that's horrible

Hi underground1986, Thanks for slipping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

I agree, I wonder how long it took for him to get that big? 

 

♥ Wendy

I don't know if I really want to know, that is just horrid.

the learning channel had a very interesting special on him the last few weeks- have you seen it?

Hi medream09, Thanks for slipping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

No, I don't watch much tv anymore. I just ran across an article on yahoo about him.

 

♥ Wendy

I saw a special on this guy on I think it wasTLC or Discovery and he actually has a normal sized girlfriend... I guess there really is someone for everyone!

 

How are you? I haven't been on in a long time, but thought of you often. I hope things are good, they've been pretty good on my side.

Hi silverback378, Thanks for slipping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

Glad to see you again Eric, where the hell you been baby...out playing in the sandbox again or what?

 

How are those nightmares? and all the other stuff? Did VA ever get you straight and figure out what kind of medication might help?

 

I'm doing ok I guess, my bills are paid and I have food to eat...what more could a girl want, right Boo?
