I'm Not Fat, I'm Big Boned

So, I'm browsing through Drudgereport.com today and I run across a picture of a VERY fat man. 1,212 pounds, in fact. In case you missed that...I said ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED TWELVE POUNDS. This guy is so fat that he makes Louie Anderson look like Calista Flockhart by comparison. (Clicky)

I've always wondered how a person gets that fat. I figure, once you see the scale hit...ohh...FIVE HUNDRED...perhaps you might want to start reconsidering your eating habits?

Whenever I bring this subject up, people always say "well you don't understand" or "it's not their fault" or "they're just big boned".

::SIGH::

First of all, there's no such thing as "big boned" Has anybody ever seen a fat skeleton? Fat people have more soft tissue and FAT than skinny people. They don't have bigger BONES than skinny people. Jeebus, people! Use your brains once in a while.

Secondly, it IS their fault (most of the time). Most of the fatter people I've known have definitely contributed to their weight being excessive. I see them eat. I see WHAT they eat. I don't see them exercise. It doesn't take a genius to figure out the outcome. I can look around my office right now and see food on fat people's desks. Fat people don't eat in moderation. They eat to excess. They've always got to have that extra donut, the extra helping of gravy on their bacon, the extra butter on their deep-fried cheese chunks, the extra lard on their lard cakes, the super sized soda, etc. That is why they're fat.

It's a very simple math equation. If you consume more calories than you burn, you will gain weight. Conversely, if you take in less calories than you burn, you will lose weight. If you don't like how much you weigh, you should eat less and exercise more. The only person making you fat is YOU.

Obviously, there are exceptions to this. For example, a person with a thyroid problem or diabetes, or something like that. People whose bodies don't function normally in one way or another. That, I can understand. I cannot sympathize with people who shovel food into their faces 10 times a day though.

Ok, I'm done ranting for a minute.
Here's to you, Mister 12 Hundred Pound Guy. Keep surfing the internet from the comfort of your bed.

What a sad life. I hope he at least has some medical condition that is responsible for this. I'd hate for it to be attributed to nothing more than sheer laziness. Seriously, I hope he turns his life around.
