[@SueP-jg9vx]

There are no "mental" disorders anymore. It is all being tied to the gut microbiome. Fecal transplants have cured a couple of people of anorexia already. It is the bacteria in the gut that sends signals to the brain to eat various foods, so it can grow. After a certain point, the signals become so strong that it becomes an addiction. They think the bacteria and brain communicate via the vagus nerve. Fecal transplans have also cured people of obesity. this is very new.

For 30 Years I was an Amtrak Station Supervisor and Service Manager. Morbidly obese people frequently travel by train. The majority of the ones I've had to handle are way too heavy to use special equipment for disabled passengers. Unable to bathe properly, if at all, many of them languish in demanding, rude, and unsanitary entitlement. The ADA forces compliance and mandates this as a "disability" while disregarding the danger this poses as most can't fit on people movers or in extra wide wheelchairs. They can't step up one step to get into the train and they're too heavy for even the wheelchair lift to handle. They can't fit on the accessible restroom toilet, saturate their seats or beds with human waste. I've seen two cases where they couldn't get to the entry door to get off, so EMS had to remove them from an emergency window exit onto a gurney. Public tolerance of this is rapidly fading away. No compassion left.

He arrived by a local rescue squad ambulance staffed with EMS & firefighters. Thankfully we had a bariatric bed. I remember wishing those firefighters could stay the rest of my shift!! This young man was constantly upset with me that I couldn’t help him by myself. I weigh 118 lbs & was not willing to injure myself. Getting enough staff together was difficult, especially with a full ED & waiting room. He eventually had to be transported to another location by ambulance.

She took one step at a time at a snail's pace. She was so wide no one could get around her. Even the landings were no help, as they were very small and not meant for a person the size of three people. Later, I overhead the managers talking and one said, "If there's a real fire she'll have to go last. A lot of people could die if they couldn't get out." I wish those "fat acceptance influencers" would wake up and realize it's not all about them. On a plane, public transport, a building, they are a danger to themselves and others.

They have the right to refuse a healthy meal plan and then family and friends bring in all sorts of food and they have chips and they have crackers and they have cookies and they have candies in the room they’re allowed to do it because it’s not a prison… And medical insurance qualifies for a special facility that would accommodate to somebody over five 600 pounds plus it’s sad but it’s the reality. Unfortunately whether people facilitated it as she got bigger and bigger, I don’t know I’m not gonna judge them, but mental health, depression and self-worth are cruel to oneself

[@LadyLithias]

"force" .... the problem is that weight is not a simple equation, no matter how many people want to make it that simple. It's not just calories in calories out. It's how well metabolic processes work, water retention, inflammation, genetics, quality of available food, and the added issues of structural inability to deal with the physical load. When I had gastric bypass there were many folks who thought of that as "cheating".... is it cheating if you choose a method that works? It's not like this is a competition. It's a solitary game where one is working to better oneself. The only cheating in that situation would be to rig the scale to give a wrong number. folks might not look at me and see a success. But I was near 400 lbs, got down to 154 lbs (and looked like a walking skeleton) and now I weigh the right amount for the person I am. I've kept more than 40% of my body weight off for 16 years. (Success is measured as losing 50% of desired weight loss, and keeping it off for five years. I wanted to lose 150 lbs, and have kept more than 100% of desired weight loss for 16 years, I'm a success, even though I'm still considered obese). When you take complex issues and force them through a simple lens, you miss the nuances and simplistic solutions seem okay, but aren't. Few folks really get this. Take an array of Americans. You've got three guys, underweight, perfect weight, and overweight, and a similar array of women. You could easily find six individuals who fit this criteria who all (A) consume the expected daily calories for someone of their demographic situation, (B) excercise and have the same proportionate caloric usage daily, and (C) do NOT have identical results. When I was younger, I was misinformed by the societal and cultural norms, taught some things that were abjectly wrong, and was deeply deeply frustrated when my results were disastrous, no matter how much I followed the "rules" as I understood them. I do hope this woman is provided the necessary care to limit her caloric intake to a specific level, and given the support to begin to use more of those calories on a graduating basis. She's young enough to achieve a better future. But the reality is that every body is different, and she may not be a candidate for a happily ever after. I can still remember the person who was almost my identical statistics. Docs decided in her case that she needed a specific surgery before getting weight loss surgery, and that was the end of her fight, as she didn't live through the initial recovery. Before taking the step, she was told that she might not make it ten more years. Had she accepted ten years, well, she'd have gotten ten years more than she recieved.

There was a man back in the 1930s who reached the astronomical weight of over 1,200 pounds. His was a glitch in his body somewhere, not something he did to himself. He expired at the age of 27, but it was multi system organ failure, not his heart bursting.

I'm guessing her legs won't support that weight..most likely she's probably out of breath too.

[@jb6712]

I'm not defending the young woman, but please understand something: the human skeleton is meant to hold only so much weight per person, with it being strong enough to carry around 200 poumds more without serious issues. A person who weighs 825 pounds does not have the capacity to get up at all, and their leg bones would snap into many pieces if they did manage to get up. On top of that, her muscles are very weak from not being used for so long, so she's between a rock and a hard place. Her mother CAN'T "make her get up"!

[@diegorgeousBEAUTY]

[@debbiecaldwell489]

She is Section 8. It must cost a FORTUNE in food to be that big!! Looks like she is getting too much money in Food Stamps!!!

[@sussybaca7256]

I used to work in a grocery store. Most (not all) the people on food stamps were buying junk food, pop and sugary drinks, chips candy frozen food. Hardly any people actually bought fresh vegetables and fruits or meat to be cooked with a meal. I was on food stamps for a short time in college. The last month i had them i bought a live lobster and a steak along with vegetables and feasted like a king.

[@misfitbrit1989]

There was a huge lady with morbidly obese kids (the youngest was 8) who was on Dr Phil several years ago. She was a food stamp recipient. When asked why she didn't feed the kids and herself fruits and veggies, she whined that they were "too expensive" compared to processed stuff. Which is true, the stores perimeter is always more expensive because it's wholesome food. What she failed/fails to realize is SNAP isn't there to cover all your groceries, it's to cover a majority of the cost but not everything for the month. Add to the fact that she got a lot in benefits, she could've afforded much better food. I miss the days when I had them while on short term disability from work for 12 weeks. It was far easier to afford nurturing foods than it is without them and especially right now. ​@@sussybaca7256

[@SuperBluejewels]

It is because they are lazy and greedy . People beat addiction, she doesn’t want to.

[@soulbrothanumbahone]

@@SuperBluejewels If it were only that simple. As you judge this woman, I pray that you never find yourself in the throws of any kind of an addiction. Aside from addiction, there could also be issues with her physical or mental health that play a role in her weight gain, not to mention that so much of the food today is so processed many of the nutrients are lost, and so many different foods are pumped with sugars, sodium, preservatives, etc. The truth is, her weight gain is largely her fault, but we all make mistakes, and you judging her so harshley is not helping her. You can either be a part of the problem or the solution, or you can just say nothing and let this person be.

[@Giggidyflanders]

I drive uber and lyft sometimes from the airport and recently I had to deny 2 passenger a ride due to one of the passengers being over 300lbs. I drove up to the rideshare pickup area and one of the lady's was standing waiting there, I get out the car and ask if she needs the trunk, she says no then I asked her to get in from the other side door then she points at this HUGE lady saying she'll get in from that side. I immediately get back in my honda accord and say sorry no way can I do this trip. The lady starts saying o you can't do it why not? I say I just can't and all while the HUGE LADY is opening the door to get in the other side. I tell her shut the door I can't do this trip I gotta go! I took off so fast and canceled it. I swear this lady was over 300lbs and it could have been this lady's mother from this KZbin video 😅. I've done local rides in the past and had a few big fat ppl get in my car and it is so not worth the wear and tear on my vehicle. F that shit.

[@TRIPLEDIGITS]

Unfortunately she's a liability. If there is a fire and she can't get out there's a good chance her family can sue the apartment complex and the city for negligence.

[@dawnwheeler2649]

Nope. They were not negligent. Apparently when she moved in she was obese but still mobile. If they tried to deny her the apt or kicked her out back then she may fight , but no negligence on the apt owners,.. just on her mother and herself for allowing her to become the size of livestock

Y'all say anything to feel relevant, I'm a chubby woman but not unhealthy chubby and I'm all about body positivity. However this woman is depressed and is coping with food. Not all big/chubby people are unhealthy...😑

[@TheHollowBlade]

@@Oh_look_Jesus_Christexcept body positivity has a limit. If your a woman standing 5.5 and you weigh 350lbs thats not good. If you have a little muffin top and you enjoy eating a bag of chips once every 2 weeks theres nothing at all wrong with that. But lets be honest here, the people who go to body positivity movements and are extremely vocal about it are 100% not healthy. And this will be the result for a solid portion of the people who claim they cannot be called fat and ive even seen things like wanting doctors to not call them obese or tell them they have to lose weight. Positivity and equality movements are great until they get taken over by extrmeists who use the movements solely for their benefit and to avoid taking accountability.

[@Tabby5899]

No, it's not an excuse by any means, but seeing something that traumatic can push someone to eat themselves to that extent. A mentally healthy person doesn't eat themselves to over 800 lbs, and overeating is a vice for her to help numb the mental pain which needs to be addressed by a mental health professional if possible.

[@ms.rivera7898]

She needed extreme trauma counseling after that incident.

Shes not ready to discharge. Shes still a threat to her own life until she's got her eating under control and is mobile. My heart goes out to her. She deserves help to overcome her past emotional trauma and current physical ailments. ❤ Where is Dr. Now? Get her to Houston.
