DefCon1 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 If she looses 200 and then gets surgery to lose even more wouldn't she just end up looking like Fat Bastard from Austin Powers after his weight loss? Or do they fix the excess skin issue in that specific surgery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tearloch7 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 As pitiful as her current state is, I admire the fact that she is attempting to lose weight amidst the fad of "You can be healthy at any size, quit fat shaming!".Who knows, that guy might actually love her. I don't think it's our place to comment. Too many folks have devolved into a level of 'cretinous indifference' to their fellow man, that all they can do is mock and look for fault in others so as to make themselves feel superior .. how sad.

The Hornet Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 That's a lot of pounds to lose, hopefully she can do it and better her life. I guess we will just have to weight and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if this particular procedure includes that, my guess is they would do it afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. This is the way it's been for generations. I don't usually go out of my way to slam someone, but if it's deserved, so be it. There is so much wrong with this situation, it's tricky where to start. When a person get's to 765 pounds, they deserve some ridicule. They are putting unnecessary strain on the healthcare system, not to mention the food supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 When a person gets to 765 pounds, they have an eating disorder that should be treated as such. and what better way to treat an eating disorder than with ridicule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummer4now Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 and what better way to treat an eating disorder than with ridicule? The ridicule is part of the rehabilitation process. Am I serious I don't know.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 I hope for your sake you aren't serious It seems that you're replying to the wrong person, although drummer may in fact be parroting what Glassjaw said. It's tempting to be really judgmental as I have been in this thread. I have to give credit to that 21 year old man for seeing love beyond reason. You know what, I take it back. I'm going to judge her for the reasons below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 I have never been a fan of shaming people, regardless of the reason. It's probably a better idea to worry about your own life first. Not to mention this wouldn't even be a notable story if she wasn't over 700 lbs. I am sure many people have already told her that being that overweight could have health consequences, so it's good to see she is trying to lose some weight. Lots of people marry relatives and have much younger partners, it's more common than many realize. If they are consenting adults, who are we to judge their actions? If she first met "Jimmy" (age eight) when she was twenty-five, and she's now thirty eight, with an eighteen year old daughter that's shared with them, that would mean that statutory rape would've been involved. However, The math doesn't add up. 38 years old - 18 year old daughter = 20 years old when she allegedly started to have sex with Jimmy. She claims to have met him when she was 25 years old and he was 8. Something's fishy. Either that kid isn't Jimmy's (a definite possibility, although the article states with certain that the kid belongs to Jimmy) or she is a rapist (statutory). Either way, it is implied that they had sex way before he was 16 years old, judging from the time line of the birth of "Charly". So you know what? I think we have a right to judge her now. Such a sick woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Ambien Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I'd say she should use her new found powers for good, such as stopping suicide jumpers, but seems like she's gonna go the selfish route and lose weight. Such a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raoul Duke Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 does she have to have a shower ever time she does a poo, or does he clean her up? how does that work? Disgusting, but of course I was thinking the same thing. That, and how BAD must this brod smell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 I thought glassjaw's sarcasm was fairly obvious, but I don't have a good enough handle on drummer's humour as of yet. Also, while you seem to focus more on the numbers (which I admit I overlooked), I was referring to the uncalled for attitude towards this woman as if she isn't sick. She is undeniably mentally and physically ill and I believe that calls for a level of sensitivity towards her appearance, which is a result of her illness. Lots of people are making 'jokes' about her appearance and I think it's the natural reaction of shock. Some people say stupid things, despite the fact that it could very well be deemed insensitive. You're right. Some have the morbid curiosity about how she goes to the washroom or how she has sex. It's not appropriate to mention it but it doesn't mean people don't think it. There are those who may think about it but don't say it - they might be more 'refined' people but it doesn't mean that they are necessarily better people. I have never been a numbers guy but us two could expand our good intentions into the next generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 She's taken Sorry, I guess I should have made it clear. I actually knew she was taken and from a guy on this board - if I'm not mistaken, it was you I don't mean any disrespect by typing that; I was just fooling around.

Or do they fix the excess skin issue in that specific surgery? If she is that ill, and obese, excess skin she can live with for a while. I thought about posting something along the lines of what many others have done here. Something slightly mean or so... But many responses got me thinking I shouldn't do so. In any case, I was more shocked by the story itself than he size. Sounded like a pretty twisted family-to-be. In other news; I always get a bit upset when people defend someone like this, and judge people for saying harsh things, when a person with a situation like this comes out and makes her life visible and known 'to all'. If she doesn't wan't to be acclaimed or criticized - do not tell everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
