I just saw a show on Pittsburgh’s public broadcasting channel about a center in pittsburgh who have a disease where they simply can not feel full, which leads to eating a ton, and, obviously, huge weight gain.
Apparently it is not often diagnosed, which leads to a lot of early deaths, especially in children. They have programs that people can go through, and then for their entire life they need someone to prepare their food for them, and then to make sure the kitchen and refridgerator is locked.
Now, I am not saying that every one has it and that is their excuse, but it is certainly a possibility. Which goes back to the origional poster, saying to get them medically checked for hormonal imbalances.
I wish i could remember the name of the disease, but it escapes me.
Just because you can’t feel full doesn’t mean you must go ape shit and eat everything in the house. I don’t feel full after my meals either, as I imagine most people eating 6+ meals a day don’t. I monitor my calories and make sure that I get the needed amounts.

I think I know what frisbee was saying; I too saw it on TV here, the problem is that those who have got the disease not just feel not full but actually feel hungry all the time. They addict to eating like drug addicts to drug, meaning they would do all sort of crazy things to get to food. The programme I saw showed a teenage girl breaking the frontdoor of her own home when her mum had locked the door so she couldn’t get to the icecream truck.
or maybe I am not talking about the same disease.

Even though the result is different, eating disorders like Bullemia and Anorexia are just as sad.
I consider myself fairly fit - but despite the fact that I work hard on my diet, develop an understanding of calories and nutrition, and avoid soda and fastfood…sometimes I get on fits where no matter how much I eat, I want more…
I’m just thankful I don’t feel that way all the time, and although I don’t support the fact that my tax money goes to support these kinds of habits, I’m really just glad that I’m not like them.
It must be a bitch to go through every day, never feeling full, gorging yourself, and you probably feel like crap from all the food in your system.
That’s Horrific.

Sorry, I was typing too fast and talking to my wife at the same time.
Before civilization came around and civilized everyone, fatties would have been killed or eaten or something. You have to wonder if maybe that wasn’t a good thing, at least it would keep them from passing all their bad habits on to their children. It’s sad how often you see obese parents leading around obese children.

I have to be honest with you, guys…
I’ve had that program on my mind all day.
Again, it was truly sad.

No fucking way - My car weighs less then that! How is he alive? Must be some intense life support at work to keep him breathing.
Interestingly, I forgot to click submit on this, and was searching for the guiness book of records entry of the worlds heaviest person [Not that I didn’t trust ya Alstan] - What I found was so bad, I simply cannot describe it in words [There was a picture attached to this piece of text].
I swear after seeing this woman I’ll never cheat on a diet again.

- Carol Yager (1960 - 1994) of Flint, MI; 5 ft 7 in, estimated to have weighed more than 1600 lbs at her peak. She had been fat since childhood. In 1993, she was measured at 1189 lbs when admitted to Hurley Medical Center, suffering from cellulitis. She lost nearly 500 lbs on a 1200-calorie diet, but most of that weight was thought to be fluid, and she regained all of it and more soon after being discharged. Her teenage daughter, a boyfriend, and a group of volunteers helped take care of her. Despite extravagant promises by diet maven Richard Simmons and talk-show host Jerry Springer, Yager received little practical assistance in return for her media exposure (though Springer continues to profit from her appearance on his show, having rebroadcast that episode at least four times). She was refused further hospitalization on the grounds that her condition was not critical, despite massive water retention and signs of incipient kidney failure, and these problems led to her death a few weeks later.

This is him, have a look. Ok so I was a bit wrong. He is actually amazingly slim at 1100 pounds. Here’s the article:
There comes a point where you just have to say “fuck it”, and let these people eat themselves to death. Unless it is a true disorder, and Prader-Willi does fall into that category, trying to force someone to stop self destructing seems like a huge waste of energy if they have no will power of their own. Unless this is approached as a mental disorder, I don’t understand why the 1,000+lbs woman expects for a hospital to maintain living conditions for her simply because she can’t put the Ho Ho’s down. I am honestly not attempting to make fun of these people, but weighing 1,000lbs is a far cry from just being “overweight”.
Some bells should have gone after that last entire plate of english muffins with a side of a loaf of bread when she stepped on the scale and it said “error”. To continue onward like that is some lame attempt to deflect all personal responsibility. No one is force feeding these people. Even if their “loved ones” are buying them most of this crap, it isn’t like they are sleep-eating.
It took some effort to force that one 300lbs arm into the air, grab an entire trashbag full of french fries and shovel them down their throats until, many cows and helpless potatoes later, they finally feel satiated. If you have to take breaths in between words when you speak, if that isn’t a hint, I don’t know what is.

If you can fall to sleep on yourself using your chest like an economy sized pillow, the number really doesn’t matter.
You’d think they’d realize something was wrong when they got an ass in the front. Damn!

1978 Leyland Mini LS [limited australia only model] - Modified heavily: The original curb weight was 1340 lbs, but as mine now kicks around at about 1200 lbs [if my maths is correct].
Not bad for a car that puts out 145 hp [108kw], and gets 25 km/litre [58.8 miles/gallon]. The attached picture isn’t mine, but looks very similiar.
