"Fat People"

I was watching this programme on ITV a few minutes ago and there were two families on it who were competing to lose the most weight. The winning family won a holiday to America in a 4-star hotel and they got some spending money with it.
To enter for the show though, you've obviously got to be pretty fat so those of us that are currently a reasonable weight don't stand a chance. The way I see it, people are being rewarded for piling on the pounds by being lazy and stuffing their faces then just losing a bit before they more than likely get fat again.
One of the contestants on the winning team started out at 27 stone and was only 13 years old. At the final weigh-in he was still just over 23 stone so does someone like that really deserve such a prize.
I'll admit I'm not the the most active person in the world but I do work hard to make sure I don't become overweight. I suppose I shouldn't be jealous though because I knowing that this holiday is the best thing that'll ever happen to him because at the rate he's going I imagine he'll die when he's 40 from some sort of fat person's disease.
How do people become so amazingly fat?

Oh, it's like me.

I'm not 6'4" though...

I'm having pizza tonight, again...

I love being a student.

"It's harder than ever to live a healthy lifestyle in todays busy world"

Say the food companies.

Oh yes, seeing as I no longer have to go down the pit/workhouse/chimneys, am able to buy ANY GOD DAMN TYPE OF FOOD I WANT from the shops, and in general am living in a pretty affluent and stable world, IT'S SO HARD FOR ME TO EAT GOOD FOOD!


Stupid idiots.

Also, I have a lanky friend too.

He stole all my food on holiday, so me and my other friend hid ours. Apart from the beer, that needed to go in the fridge.

I'm about 10 stone but I'm sure my massive dong weighs a few stone.

Hur Hur

You're like my mate, he's 6'4" and weighs 10 stone, roughly, but he's almost 2 dimensional, and he eats more than most fat people I know.

I never seem to put on weight

I'm 6'3" and I weigh 9.9 stone.

I eat a funning load in the day as well, as well as breakfast, lunch and dinner I usually have snacks throughout the day.

Everyday, everyweek, yet my weight stays the same.

T'is wierd.

What height are you?

I'm 6 ft and 9 stone 4-6 pounds depending on the time of the day.

Edit: And think that's underweight. I want to be 10-11 stone at least.

Ahaha

I'm currently 10 stone 4 pounds but at only 5'2" I still need to shift some. I've recently lost a stone in weight so I am well chuffed but how I became so overweight was simply bad eating habits. Not good with a cooker but know by heart the number of all the local takeaways that deliver. I'm active enough as I do a fair bit of walking.

As to how people can allow themselves to become so obese - I've no idea. I just cannot get behind their mentally. I've always imaged it to be some kind of addiction, somewhat like a smoking habit.
