I just was reading on ABC news about this guy (Be warned, his personal page has dozens of his photos as well as his food intake info, aim name, and so on..):
http://members.fotki.com/Manuribe/about/ (He even has an aim name: manuribe) Who weighs just over 1300 pounds..Ok..I just dont understand. Im trying to keep an open mind but good lord, I didnt even think it was possible..

Well, you would still need a certain amount of calories to live. A person with more weight would still have to eat more than someone of average weight.

 My name's Katt. Nice to meet you! Group: Member Posts: 3,826 Joined: Jan 2005 Member No: 93,674 |
Oh my god.... OKAY. I get 20,000 calories in a week and a half! A 1300 pound guy should not be sitting on his ass putting up pictures of himself "trying to exercise" on the web. I just don't sympathize in obese people. Don't you think maybe he'd stop eating so much at 400 pounds? 500? 600? And how did he get all the way up to 1300 before realizing he had a problem?

People his size have to eat that much to survive. I'm sure he's cut down though. I'm glad he's trying to get better. :]
If you're going to post here, don't be ignorant and say "OMG, EW". Because honestly, that's rude and not necessary. If you don't like this topic, then move onto the next one. Thank you. |

Very sad. But my friend says it makes him want to say what Stewie said in the fat men episode of family guy. "Find Your Penis for One Dollar."

Oh my. But yes, I'm rather curious as to how he could have maintained such a steady growth O__o

QUOTE(DivineCat @ Jun 23 2006, 1:22 PM)  I still dont understand what that thing is hanging off the bed next to his foot is :( I'm pretty sure it's his thigh....or possibly his knee QUOTE(Paradox of Life @ Jun 23 2006, 1:18 PM) Oh my god....

Well, you don't know that. Perhaps he realized that he had the problem before but couldn't do anything to stop it. Perhaps it's a disorder and he's just naturally...obese. And I'm pretty sure he didn't put the pictures on the internet himself, but had someone else do it for him. He is, after all on the news... |

You know, sometimes it's a mental issue. People can't always control their mind, nor their apetite...
This is sad. Extreme obesity causes a lot of diseases.
