Very true Teardrop - it is an addiction which should be regarded in the same way that drugs are - it's just because food is a necessity in life which sustains our existence - I guess people find it hard 2 believe that one could be an "addict" ~

I sat and wondered also why that man's wife would bring him the bad food ~ and if he was that big why would she not look into alternative eating/health before he hit his 1 ton mark?/ (It is a little strange but it might be a control thing too on her part???))

I was just so impressed with "Jackies Story" because she was SO POSITIVE and up best considering her life situation! I found the other man to be creepy

okay i have become slightly addictied to the discovery channel and their "strange nature" shows. they have the one of the "boy whos skin fell off" and the "girl who turned to stone" and the one of the "pregnant man" who had a teratoma. they are tumors with cartilage bone and possibly teeth and hair. They used to think it was an undeveloped baby or twin but thats not always the case..... i actually know a girl who had one!

I think the people who over feed there loved one's has a problem themself called
"Codependent " and if that is the case then the person who is overweight will never get the right help .
Very sad ...

it is very sad
i saw this programme once called 'fat girls and feeders' that was about ppl feeding there partners so they become fat for their own se.xual pleasure
there was this one woman who had to get her stomach stapled before she died, and her partner was considering leaving her cos she was starting to lose weight. the woman had been stuck in bed for years and is in the guiness book of records as the worlds heaviest woman

over eating is a huge problem and a huge addiction =(

sounds like that may hurt lol
