You know better than to hold your breath. It will be the rare poster that wishes him well. Here all obese people are totally worthless. The other day there was an article about an obese lady who unexpectedly gave birth to a beautiful precious baby girl. Rare was the pleasant comment. The rest speculated on how such a repugnant creature would have sex to get pregnant. That's how Freepers are.

Lighten up, Francis. 90% of the people here making fun of the fat people would probably bend over backwards to help those fat people out if they met them in person.

I think such people as this guy have earned at least a little ridicule. True medical causes for morbid obesity are uncommon. Most likely this guy, and the lady who gave birth without knowing she was pregnant, are otherwise healthy people who at best exercised horrible judgement in their eating habits, and at worst are gluttons whose lack of control brought this condition upon themselves. If someone is going to show such deep lack of respect for himself, he should not expect too much respect from others.

I don't believe your assertions are true. I have been struggling with my own weight since I was a teen. It is a never ending daily battle, a personal reprogramming, and it is a condition only the sole individual can overcome. Of course we all wish him well, but there comes a time when one has to accept personal responsibility for one's own fate. To allow ourselves to get to the point that others are championed for overcoming their own addictions, well, that to me is difficult to comprehend. Where are the kudos to those that don't get to the point where they are celebrated for living a life of free of . . . whatever. Pick your poison. Drugs, alcohol, gambiling, etc. Yet those that live a life of unforced pleasures deserve praise for having had a ton of fun and lived a life of abandon most of the time and are now repenting for their sins and blaming some other factor?

Freepers are the kindest folks I have ever had the pleasure of "knowing".
