The quantifier “pile” for sandwiches is hilarious.
I wonder what else she eats?
-TOMBSTONES of fudge
-GOOPS of cake frosting
-BALES of bacon
-CONGLOMERATES of gummy worms (she presses several hundred gummy worms into a large gelatinous mass)
-BUSHELS of macaroons
A barn of marshmallows
A stere of brownies
A silo of coca cola
and a
A KFC family Skip
There’s mid-mid-lunch-dinner right there.

I just checked the same story on FARK and then went to their comments and I can assure you that even though FARK is a funny website (www.fark.com) we are doing a much better job of being funny here. Maybe we’re also a bit more understanding too. Well done T-Nation!
So, to congratulate myself:
This poor girl needs to get away from her mother’s influence. Her mother is obviously making it much worse than it should be.
This one girl can give HolyMac his own MFFF.

Litre of coke
How much you want to bet that they’ll tell her get rid of the cheese, sausages, KFC (to much fat!) and chocolate and just eat less. Oh, and of course, switch to diet coke.
And British T-Nationers, what’s a ‘Pile of sandwiches’?[/quote]
THANK YOU. My thoughts exactly. HOW MANY SANDWICHES IS A PILE!?!?!
[/quote]
This many??

We’ve established that’s a stack - Although that stack is a few sandwiches short of an arch.
mmmm…I could eat an arch of sandwiches right now.[/quote]
Hmn… yeah I think thats a stack.
ALMOST an arch.
a couple, a few, a pile, a stack, an arch.
Looks like she didn’t learn anything at fat camp. My guess is the fat camp just helped her lose some weight through starvation and extreme dieting. The whole point should be focusing on a healthy lifestyle and proper eating, so that the weight stays off.
She’s fat because she has no self control and does the yo yo between binging and dieting.

That’s a good point, it is a self inflicted condition. But what about this;
Joe Example is a dumb ass and he is always careless with his firearms. Sometimes he shoots himself but never injures himself too bad. One day he’s completely careless blows off his foot, self inflicted stupidity. He deserved it. Should he get disability?
He probably will, and his stupidity will be a burden on the insurance and medical system.
What is the difference between what Joe Example does and a fat person like the one in the article? You can argue that the fat person’s condition is temporary, but from what we’ve seen it’s hardly the case. Usually, it’s hard to go bad to being normal.

You aren’t going to change bad habits that quickly. That was my argument against things like The " " diet on this site. You aren’t going to take a severely obese person, stick them in some secluded area for a month or two and rewrite bad habits that took the last 10-20 years to create.

The fat camp is there to make money. If they can implement a plan that shows rapid weight loss AND know the customer will gain again (read: repeat business), it’s in their interest to do so.
I hate to make such a terrible statement but… it’s in their own interest to “give the man a fish” and not “teach the man to fish”

It’s that way with the entire fitness industry.

I’d distinguish between the entire fitness industry, and the weight-loss sub-category (though it makes up a large share of the industry).
If someone comes in saying they want to lose weight, they can achieve their goal through unhealthy and very temporary practices.
If someone comes in saying they want to get into great shape or prepare for “event x”, that’s different. People just aim low.

Hmmm, on the flipside, Joe’s disability isn’t reversible. This girl’s is (not counting surgery to lose all the extra skin she’ll have). Like you said, it’s hard to go back to normal, but for Joe it’s impossible (foot’s gone I assume).
Shame about this girl, really. Having an eating disorder is pretty damn weird, and even after you get it under control, and change your lifestyle around, you still don’t totally understand why you felt the need to eat cake before bed. But hey, she’s young, and apparently has 3 more years to figure herself out and fix it (20 years old huh? some figure).
I’m always conflicted on these stories. I spent my childhood fat (not THAT fat, but quite a bit tubby), and I was morbidly obese by my mid-teens.
There are different paths all leading to this same condition. In my case, it was a lot of medication with very bad side effects (hormone issues, destroyed metabolism, severe weight gain, etc.) that caused the initial weight gain. Then - and so many people have no idea what it is like - it was the misery of being 250+ lbs.
The seclusion. The physical and emotion pain. One’s only social interactions being skewed towards cruelty, being the fat friend, the toss-away friend that is only used for some self-serving purpose by other people. It’s choose to be treated like dirt just to satisfy your basic human need for social interaction, or cut yourself off from those worthless relationships and exist in complete isolation. Or be friends with other fat people, which is like a crack addict being friends with a dealer - there’s no faster way to be drug into your own personal hell.
That misery prompted me to eat, since there was little else I could do. And that eating ballooned me, ultimately, up to nearly 350lbs.
But you know what? I said screw it and made the DECISION to change, and I studied, and I studied, until I understood how my body worked at the biological level. I forced myself to change my diet and I forced myself to exercise even though it hurt so very, very bad (physically), and I did this day in and day out and I lost all my weight and I thrive as a human.
Though that process, I came to these undeniable conclusions:
Some people, through factors they cannot control, end up skewed towards being fat.
Those factors aren’t an excuse, they’re one’s own burden that they must overcome, life isn’t fair.
It takes a very strong person mentally to radically change ANYTHING. Whether you’re losing a ton of fat or putting on a ton of muscle, it takes a special kind of person to do it.
The vast majority of humanity is so weak, so out of touch with survival, and so ignorant that they are nothing more than hot air and loud noise.
So, I guess what I’m saying is, I feel very bad for this girl because I know the misery that she is experiencing. But at the same time, I want to slap her and tell her to snap the hell out of it and make the DECISION to change, and stop being such a weak pathetic excuse of a human that she can’t resist the temptation to put something into her body that is KILLING her.
I once met a kid who finished the Crucible during Marine bootcamp with a busted ankle. He did that because he knew what he wanted and that, despite the pain, he could finish. It takes that kind of mental strength to radically alter one’s own body.
Most people are fatally weak. She will probably kill herself.

ID, once bacteria has a chance to grow in a nice warm environment like folds of fat…a lotta stenches can get pretty strange and unique, yknow?
Sometimes I wonder just how many people honestly have a somewhat altered state of mind, making it all but impossible for them to resist eating more food…and how many use it as an excuse.
For reference…think about how hard some people here find it to not jack off for a couple days…now imagine that same urge, but instead of it being an urge to have sex, it’s an urge to eat. Would they be able to resist that urge? Is that what it feels like for some of these obese people? Just throwing it out there. [/quote]
Technically, thats just one sandwich. Five of those would make a pile.
I feel sorry for people like this girl but seriously, why hasn’t anyone taken some giant fat dude who can eat a metric fuckton, and then got them into powerlifting and on the roids.
I think the results would be amazing.

Great post. It was informative for me both to read what it was like when you were overweight and what it took to change.

Great post, and great work. I hit 305 and did the same thing you did. It also never leaves your mind that you will become that fat lazy person again if you let it.

It’s funny, cuz even though it may have come off as me defending her, I do have to laugh sometimes at people who say “it’s too hard”, having seen the kind of things some kids did to get through boot camp. Some of the kids had stress fractures for half of boot camp, but refused to go to medical because they’d be DAMNED if they were gonna get dropped from their platoon. It was a matter of pride and dignity, something lost on most people today.
