Yes, true, but another thing is because people do not exercise ANd they are ADDICTED to food.

The chemicals only make it worse.

517 pounds? I could leg press him easily. As for walking to the store, I shouldn't have too much trouble. Even at 114 kg (251.3 lb), I have a biking range spanning seven counties.

rocky was on true life and is skinny now cause he got sugery

[blondetennisgirl]

he lost weight.he is so much skinnier now.&it is more like an addiction.food can be an addiction. someone uses drugs to escape feelings they dnt want to feel. people sometimes use food2comfort them when they are upset. its sometimes so bad its uncontrolable.

and if a heavy person does normal exercising, all that weight weighs down heavy on your heart&lungs&legs and ur whole body while you run or whatever. theres a strong chance for them to have say a heart attack or something while exercising.

Sorry, but this video really makes me mad.

When he gives his talk to his classmates, it's like he wants them to understand so as to not make fun of him, yet he DOESN'T do anything about his weight. :/

Sure, his mother is 50% accountable but the other 50% is HIMSELF.

I understand exercising is hard at first, especially for larger people but if you just start with walking for 10 minutes, then the next time go for 15 mins, then 20 you'll eventually get used to it.

I can't stand this winy bastard,"I'm fat /cry"get over it.Have some god damn control.

I agree with you, Streetly. I realize that he is 517 lbs and I don't think I will ever realize how hard it is to be that big, but he has mentally convinced himself that he can't exercise or eat right. He seems to try and come up with an excuse for everything such as why he can't stop eating and why he can't exercise. So what if he runs out of breath while exercising? He could still get up and walk on the treadmill for a few minutes a day. He could try eating healthier rather than just sweets...

From the two clips Ive wtched about him its obvious that he is using the excuse of how hard it is to lose weight to avoid actually trying to lose weight. Of course to an extent it is hard, but if he did something so simple like a five minute walk and then slowly extended it to ten, then fifteen he would eventually get the hang of exercising and lose weight. He mentally tells himself he cant do it and therefore just keeps packing on the pounds.
