20 Extremely Overweight People You Wont Believe Exist

[@LexusLFA554]

Until last year I was up to 300 pounds, but a huge depression phase that held on for close to 4 months dropped that weight substancially. I have lost over 60 pounds by now, and I aim to lose even more.

[@mikemike9449]

Good job! Keep going, you can do it.

[@sharonpeterson896]

How can they afford to pay for all the groceries?

[@thomashunter5707]

Over eating is a addiction just like drugs and alcohol 😢😢😢😢

[@AquaporinA1]

The sad thing is that for most of these people, someone is enabling them to eat the number of calories needed to gain or maintain their weight. If you can not walk, how do you get to the refrigerator??? Who brings you the food???

[@adrianahewett9557]

This is the one thing that people don’t seem think about. It is their loved ones that enable them. So o sad😢

[@sandrapower3250]

Thsts true who does bring there food

[@sandrawilliams5647]

This is my primary reason why I converted to becoming a Vegetarian and occasionally vegan, I’ve always struggled with my weight, I remember one time my doctor told me because of genetics I’m inclined to become a big person, so I exercise every week and watch what I eat. Our bodies wasn’t made to carry this much weight it takes a toll on your body, and joints. I figured you can eat but moderation with what you eat is the key and minding what you eat and drink, and move , move, our bodies were made to move .

[@lisalu910]

Honestly, when I see this I can't wrap my mind around the amounts of food these people must consume to reach these sizes. We all know hearty eaters - I have a relative who can inhale twice as much as everyone else at every meal, drinks sodas, and snacks on junk food all day and he is overweight by about 50 lbs but he still weighs 1/4 what some of these people weigh. I just don't understand the logistics of obtaining the vast quantities of food these people must consume - how much does it cost? Who buys it? They clearly can't even leave their homes, so someone carts this stuff in and gives it to them. I really want to know!

[@mookzmom]

Excellent! I had heard of only a few of these folks. I had gastric bypass nearly 30 years ago, and have maintained a good weight since then. 2 of my sisters and one niece too. (Same doc) we are all doing well, and I wish the people struggling with weight issues every blessing.❤

[@user-zx5kq6hs9d]

Well done, may you live to be a 💯 😂🙏☮

[@DavidD6969]

Why do people keep bringing them food ...and do they know how hard it is for the health care workers to try to help them...

[@karensteffy8698]

Enablers of addiction.

[@Juliett-we7tc]

I was up to 440 pounds at one point in my life, but i lost 230 of it. Problem is now i have lose to 40 pounds of lose skin as i had surgery and cant get all this skin removed as insurance wont co er it even though all that skin can be a pretty big health hazard in itself. Reguardless i sure am grateful i went through with it anyways as now i can work with rescuing and training dogs. I dont know how i ever lived without my rescues, every single one. 😊😊

[@MrJamiez]

Our bodies aren't meant to hold such weight. 😮

[@patricialong5767]

It's really difficult to believe that human beings actually get this big, but there you go! Wow! Kudos to those who lost the weight and sadness for those who lost their lives in the weight struggles!

[@marygrace9117]

I struggling to understand how people can afford to eat this much, i miss meals to keep my food bills down. They must have feeders who help and pay for it all.

[@gemmalynn536]

i have anorexia, & when i see these ppl, i see their issues but you know what terrifies me the most, the food, when they're eating for me it's torture, it's nuts to be afraid of food but eating disorders are real & they're torture❤

[@EmperorNerox]

Cept youre hott looking judging by profile pic ....

[@LifesPeachy321]

*These people that are bed ridden...could only continue to gain weight if someone was feeding them the amount of food necessary to pack on more pounds!* Do you realize how much food that would be? Full time job just feeding them. Why? Why would you do that to your loved one!

[@slc1161]

I was overweight most of my life, but only by 70 pounds. Was diagnosed with diabetes. Started on an SGLP2 agonist to help insulin work better in my body. I’ve lost 35 pounds already just from the medication decreasing my appetite. And thanks to Covid. I’ve lost my taste for many different foods. And some smell. All good. It really is helping because I am disabled and find it is much easier on my joints. And yes, it is an addiction. Sweets and salt all trigger the same pleasure centers in the brain as drugs and alcohol. The difficulty is that one just can’t stop eating. It’s hard to stop sweets and salt. Literally withdrawal like drug withdrawal.

[@u4riahsc]

In the 90s a woman I knew from working on the El Toro marine Corps Base had gastric surgery. I hadn’t seen her in a year or so and we ended up in standing in line for something going on, on the base. She looked at me and said, “you don’t recognize me.” I said no, and when she told me her name, I was blown away. She lost at least 250 pounds.

[@Linzie157]

I was 252 lbs at 25, had gastric band surgery. After cockiness or incompetence of the surgeon, a simple keyhole surgery turned life threatening with a temperature of 44.1°c and septicaemia as well as removal of the band. I am wheelchair bound have been since I got over being bed bound in February 2010 (25 and half) 14 years later I still can't and will never again walk i am 182lbs People with a lot of weight need treatment for the cause not the aftermath. I wanted a quick and easy weight loss and thought it would make me happier to be thin, instead it made it so much worse! I actually don't have a life anymore

[@lisabaltzer4190]

It is amazing that a 1400 pound man could walk. He was unbelievably strong.

[@AnalystManIssac]

This reminds me when I was on my own weight loss journey. I am totally blind, and have been on able to see since I was 15. in May 2022 I was 6 feet two and 275 pounds, 14 weeks later, I was down to 183 through insane cardio and a regiment I would never recommend to anyone. but I was so tired of being overweight, and I wasn’t gonna let blindness take away my desired results.

[@GloriaFontenot-dm8iy]

Furthermore I am so confused as to how anyone can afford to eat that much?

[@hotrodgo4it55]

stay active people .. never give up on yourself

[@cynthiasmith409]

Food addiction is real...especially if you're an emotional eater like me. I eat myself happy. And I struggle to snap out of it...

[@janettewebster2151]

I've been morbidly obese in the past. I got that way by literally trying to find "love/comfort in the fridge! That feeling, that is temporarily quenched, at best, just doesnt last, or work! Once you get to your own perception of what "big" is, even the idea of losing all that weight seems impossible to attempt, never mind about achieve! What is needed is the ability to "block" the negative thinking yourself or via counselling AND stop the people who are "enabling" you!!!! THINK POSITIVE! I sellected a high protein plan - "The CSIRO eating plan" (not a "diet) & started walking!!! Good luck!

[@GenXerReacts]

I was a Registered Nurse for 18 years before my back injury forced me to quit. My heaviest patient was 633 pounds. Surprisingly he could walk with the help of a walker. I asked him once how he got to be so big. He told me that he was always a big guy at 5'10" and 300 lbs. growing up. Then he got a staph infection in his legs that made him bed bound for 7 years. Once that happened, he said it was a downhill spiral from there and he got depression and then diabetes from all the excess weight. I always wondered what happened to him after we sent him to specialty weight loss nursing home.

[@suellensheppard9734]

My Audrey weighed 500 lbs .She tried so hard but died.I miss her😢

[@llddau]

Oh my god, a person is already obese, bedridden, suffers from a stroke… and somebody is still bringing them huge amounts of food! That is plain and simple abuse of a vulnerable and disabled person! People should have been arrested for doing those things. No matter the responsibility one has for getting obese, they should be treated if they are willing to put in the work, and in any case not abused.

[@pandemicneetbux2110]

You'd be surprised how crafty and manipulative an addict is. And what's worse? Those people that they've pushed that far into being enablers all have basically given up on them. It's basically like the same thing as a heroin addict getting up to the dopefiend larceny to such an extent you as a parent or friend are basically giving them drug money and buying them needles and secretly feeling bad and hating yourself for secretly hoping they finally just die. This is actually one of the cruelest, most worse things you can do to another as an addict, and no one ever talks about it but it is basically the same thing as being in a war and hearing your comrade crying all night, wounded and dying, and just sort of hoping that he finally dies already. It's a terrible sort of feeling and it happens because you've given up on them. Make no mistake a fat person is centrally a food addict. They've already given up on themselves and constantly have to lie to themselves and others and minimize and rationalize it. Look up Steven Assanti. He's one of the most blatant cases. It's partly why any really severe problem behavior gets you labelled and shunned, because like a junkie, they come with all these other traits usually, and like how someone says he's a "degenerate gambler" it's because of all the other stupid shit and character traits that come with an excessive behavior. So like if you're that down the barrel on being a drunk, odds are you've already let yourself slip into minimizing, rationalizing, and manipulating behavior toward others. It's a great deal of probably emotional pain and psychological damage these fat people need to heal from in order to be whole again.

[@glenysthomson5955]

Could not agree more. Enablers are killing these people. Give them only what they need and no more. Let them fuss.

[@furbysmith3240]

I knew Carol Yaeger had to be on this list. We lived very close to her when they lifted her out of her house. My boyfriend's mother knew her and her family. Her boyfriend and family would bring her unhealthy food instead of bringing her healthy foods

[@cruisecrazy7066]

How do these people go to the bathroom? How do they clean themselves?

[@jaxkovak]

If you cant get out of bed how do you get so many calories per day? Someone must be bringing them to you, which means those people should be charged with abuse, and, if you died as a result of such weight, murder.

[@chicagolondongirl2906]

[@MelaninCosplay]

I remember seeing some of the stories on heaviest people on TLC. For Manuel's special, he blamed his weight on the food in the US. In his own words btw. He felt had he been able to go to somewhere else, he would have. But he had to settle on the US and he blames the food

[@dglorious1269]

I also never would believe that a human body could reach a weight of 600-1000 pounds! Whoa! 😲 Well they can as I later found out! That's beyond stretch!

I'm just under 200 lbs and on a diet to lose 70 lbs. I don't know how they manage with anything that heavy as I have struggles at only 14% of the heaviest man's weight.

It's sickening. How can people let themselves get like this. Even if it is an addiction why don't they seek help before they get to this stage.

I thank god because I was weighing 250 pounds and I went on a diet and it was hard with cutting sugar out of my live one year and I did it. I ate small meal and it so worth it because I became a new person and all my small clothes were worth it anyone can do it just cut sugar out I now weigh 140 pounds and I’m not going gain it back.

[@caroljo420]

I don't understand how people can do that to themselves. I'm 5'2", and when I hit 186 pounds, I couldn't even tie my shoes without getting winded! I lost about half of my weight, and hit 96 pounds before it leveled off at 110. I've stayed at 110 now for the last 20 years. No special diets, just sensible lifestyle changes and healthier food choices.

[@caroljo420]

I thought I was fat when I weighed 186. I'm now down to 108, which is just 2 pounds less than when I was in high school.

Agree our bodys are not meant to get that big .but treating people bad or mean or ugly to them is wrong .we need to be kind to them and reach out to them and help them and smile at them and talk with them and give them comfort ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@alicesadler5441]

And I'm skinney and watch my weight and excercise . No one deserves to be treated mean ugly or made fun of. Instead we need to reach out to them and encourage them that they can get healthy .God loves us all skinney or overweight or obese

Just by talking to them and being kind could encourage them to want to loose weight and give them courage that it's possible for them to loose weight. .it could also save there life. And talking and being kind could bring them out of depression and put a big smile on there face

[@yellowbird5411]

In watching one of these people eat, he only chewed his food once before swallowing it whole. I cannot imagine what problems their digestive systems had. Living like that is their own personal hell. Pain, discomfort, fatigue, inability to care for self and extreme embarrassment are all the self-punishments they must endure daily. Terrible way to have to live.

What makes food addiction almost worse than drugs and alcohol, is that you can live without them, but you can't live without food. So much temptation makes the journey harder, so extra determination and effort is needed by the person.

There's so much more involved than just gaining extreme weight. Most of these people have endured much trauma and my heart breaks for them as no one wants to be overweight. No matter what heave/obese people say, they are not happy and not healthy. Very sad as most of this trauma starts in childhood. So sad.

[@rebeccafrye5646]

Food addiction is REAL!

[@dglorious1269]

WOW! 😮 I remember the first time that I ever saw an extremely obese person on TV. It was a guy named Walter. He was so big that they had to take him out through a hole cut through the wall I believe! His sister was his caretaker, and she enabled him way too much, buying him mucho Big Macs and fries all through the week! What I don't understand is, how do people allow themselves to become 300, 400,600 pounds! I can gain 10 pounds and can't zip my pants and whoa, uhh-uhh this ain't working! No pizza for you this month. Gotta get back on that walking hike! I'm used to being a certain size, and when I go over that, I'm not a happy camper. I like being fit. So I couldn't see myself being anywhere near that. I like sweets too a lot, but I know my limits. There's got to be a cut off button like looking in the mirror or something, and curbing their appetites. Because just letting yourself go and ballooning like that ain't cutting it.

[@barbaraheinze9406]
