“I came down with obesity two years after I got married,” 41-year-old Oklahoma City resident Fran Torley said. “I know it was hard for my husband to watch me suffer from this disease. When he caught obesity a year later, he got so depressed, he couldn’t do anything but sit on the couch. Some days, we sit and watch television from dawn till dusk, hoping for news of a breakthrough.”
Caught obesity??? ITS NOT THE EFFING FLU….
I want to know how can you cure Obesity!!!!
Obesity.. its weird when you think about it.. Skinny people don’t understand how people can just let theirselves go, but the thing is.. It is all part of depression I think. When I was depressed I would just eat and eat and now that I am better i care more about what is happening with my body.. simple right? no. you have to have the will to get better. nobody likes how they look but you and only you are the one who can change that. not drugs.. not liposuction. you! dont pay for that, the press tricks you into trying to do all that and buy what they sell simply for profit.. they dont care about the outcome.!!! You want to change??!! Stop complaining and do something about it!
You are ignorant and predjudice
You obviously don’t know what its like to suffer this way. I am the ONLY obese person in my family, so that’s not the common link. I naturally have a lower metabolism, and when you start to put on a little weight but can’t lose it, its discouraging. Imagine doing the same two week diet as your friend, but she loses 11 lbs and you lose 1. It’s so hard not to get discouraged, when people like you bring my spirits down, make fun, or give nasty looks. I cant help but feel hungrier than I should, and those pills never worked for me. To not eat when hungry is hard, like being in pain but refusing yourself pain medicine. You need to be more sympathetic and less judge-mental. I know in the end its my fault, But I can never gather up the strength to fight it if you keep knocking me down, Us fatty’s down.
i am really gay
I can’t believe that you would make fun and want others to read and make fun of this women as well. Yes obesity is a disease, and now you can’t catch so to speak but it is a disease just the same. There are people that do exercise and eat right and they just don’t seem to loose enough weight for your people to be happy. Instead of poking fun, help them encourage them, Don’t preach, and don’t look in horror. You don’t know the story, or the reason why they are overweight. So maybe you need to look within your self an ask why you seem to feel the need to make fun of others even if they may not have expressed themselves in the most appropriate manor.
Even if they did make sense to you, it still wasn’t anywhere as mean as what you just did to them.
Stop and think next time.
GOD BLESS.
I think that thin people assume that they are doing something right, so the assume that fat people are doing soemthing wrong. If only it were so. I have ruined all my joints going to the gym and have been dieting since I was a child, and I have lost hundreds of pounds. I am not lazy, I work 2-3 jobs, and I can only say, Oh, the arrogance of the young and healthy.
oh my tasha and bigmama. If people are obese it is their own damn fault. They choice to stuff themselves silly, and there are tons of people who have cured themselves of obesity. It just takes a whole lot of strong will. I run 2 miles everyday and I DESPISE running! It is my will to be better fit and I FORCE MYSELF to do so. So fat people should eat smaller meals, actually get their fat butts of the couch and get moving!!! I myself am naturally a little fat, but I keep myself thin. I hate when fat people think thier life is a sob-story. Way back when, ppl didn’t have time to sit and watch tv, or have the food to eat so much. I’m sure there were some ppl with low metabolism there too. Skinny people don’t want to hear your crap so stop complaining and start doing. Yeesh.
Obesity!!! It’s all the mind…Ever heard of self control,proper eating and regular exercise!!! There you have I just found the cure for obesity!! In some extreme cases there’s liposuction….
