Do you know anyone severely overweight?!
Question: Do you know anyone severely overweight!?
I have a friend who is very much overweight!. No matter how much I have tried to encourage her!.!.!.or how much I have talked with her about eating healthier foods, it doesn't do any good!. She's about in her early 20's!.!.!.and is somewhere around 300+ pounds!. She uses the same excuse that she "doesn't like" healthier foods and such!. But basically whines all of the time about how she "can't breathe" and has trouble with this and that!. Likely because she is incredibly overweight and is killing her own self by ignoring it and ignoring what others tell her!. I know that the body can't take all of that weight on it and slowly gives out over time!. She has expressed in the past that she is scared that she might be diabetic - won't go get tested for it because she "doesn't have the money!." I didn't have the money to pay for my medical tests before, either!.!.!.but I found a way!.
I'm getting a little frustrated with this!. She has talked about a possible "stomach staple/clamp" procedure of some type!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I myself am considered morbidly obese by medical standards!. However if you look at me, you just think I'm a little heavy set!. However, I do not have the mindset your friend does!. I have lost 26 pounds so far, and let me tell you, if your friend hasn't had her moment of "oh crap, I need to lose this weight" yet, then there's not really anything you can do!. It's like an alcoholic or drug addict truly!. It is so hard to lose weight, and unless you hit rock bottom, you're not going to be motivated!. For me it was seeing that I was 25 pounds away from my husband who is a big guy!. I changed my life for the better, and some of the physical problems I have are getting better/disappeared!. I could qualify for the Lap Band surgery you referred to!. But to me it's the easy way out, and I refuse to take it!. I got myself into this mess, I gotta get myself out and if it takes hard work, then that's what it takes!. To make this short, you can't help her if she's not willing to help herself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
She should get gastric bypass (sp!?)
It's expensive but worth it!.
She needs help and FAST or she will die!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Honestly, there is always something bigger than the actual being overweight!. She needs to see a therapist for why she can't comprehend that she is killing herself!. It isn't about being fat or skinny, it's about how she feels!. There is obviously something more serious causing her to just continuously harm herself and making excuses for doing so!. I can promise you the issues she has are beyond being overweight!. They will still be there even after a serious procedure like gastric bypass!. Someone like her getting gastric bypass would likely result in her gaining all the weight back!. It's adamant she seeks professional mental help!.!.!.obesity is like anorexia or any other eating disorder!. In order to fix why something occurs, you have to know the reason!. She being hungry definitely isn't the reason for her being overweight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It doesnt seem to be any of your buisness whatsoever!. If you dont want her whining about being fat, tell her to stop, it sounds like your getting to involved into her buisness!.

Do you have any of your own problems to worry about!?
She is probably very unhappy with herself and doesn't know where to start!.!.!. or she is holding out hope for the gastric lapband or gastric bypass!.
Tell her you'll be supportive of her efforts in losing weight, but you are not her emotional punching bag to throw her insecurities on if she is not willing to do something about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
