How do people get so fat?!


Question: I see some people who literally waddle down the sidewalk and probably can't even see their own shoes! How on earth could you just keep eating after gaining so much weight? Why don't people have any self control?

Because they eat too much. It's seems to be a rare event on Yahoo that an overweight person will admit that they are fat because they eat too much - they always seem to have some 'medical problem' which has caused the weight gain. Truth is, it's the other way round - they got too fat, which caused the medical problem in the first place.

Thats exactly it. No self control. Also, it seems like it happends to quickly, even though its been your whole life, one day you just look in the mirror and say "what happened?"

I don't know personally, I eat a lot, but just cause I have to cause my mom thinks I'm anerexic,

But I guess people have nothing better to do than sit around and eat

I have heard that people get fat because they eat more calories than they burn off on a regular basis. Look at the people that are eating in an all you can eat restaurant, don't some of them look like they eat there all the time and not get any exercise?

i think fast food is the answer. its quick easy..and has a dollar menu. also, some people that are big get depressed because they are overweight and eat more instead of getting up and working out.

when people get depressed they find comfort in food and then they can't loose it

They don't care about their body

they bing on food and cant control themselves, and eat just for the heck of eating!!

It's not always about lack of self control. I know people who eat like birds, yet gain more weight than others I know who eat three plates worth of food at nearly every sitting.

Everyone has a bad habit. I'm sure you got one also.

Same reason why stick people starve themselves claiming to be "fat"

No self control, depression etc. You have no idea what those people have gone through in their life and judging someone because they eat to much is stupid.

There are reasons these people get obese. It may be physical or it may be mental. Sometimes it isn't because they eat too much . Some people may have a condition that is causing their metabolism to slow down. Certain diseases also cause this. But there are people who do nothing but eat. It is their way of feeling loved. We never know what a person goes through until as they say we walk a mile in their shoes.

A lot of times people hide serious emotional issues with food. There could also be medical issues involved. People could start out eating because of depression or some other reason, then once it's out of control, it's hard to reel that in. I have a friend who just lost 100 lbs and a huge reason for her weight gain was because of sexual abuse as a child. If I had judged her because of her weight, I would have missed out on an AMAZING friend.
