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.

"Lighten up, Francis."

Why I don't know but that simple phrase has makes me chuckle out loud. I needed that. That is the only piece of funny I have had all day. Just when I was feeling like a bucket of dead turtles you had to come along with that and spoil my bad mood.

I still think it takes a whole lot more courage to change habits like he is doing than to get fixed with a gastric bypass. I mean bless anyone who's had the bypass but it is refreshing to see someone digging down deep and changing lifelong habits. I pray he succeeds.

For whatever reasons, the guy was morbidly obese. Maybe he made mistakes and was lazy in the past; maybe it's glandular; maybe it's a combination. But he has made the effort to improve himself. He took responsibility solely upon himself to make things better. He's lost 400 pounds and was able to go outside. I respect the effort that took - anyone who has tried to lose even 10-20 pounds ought to. For this, he should be exposed to ridicule?

You are much more optimistic than I am. It's clear that a lot of people on this forum don't respect fat people at all. I find it hard to believe that they would go out of their way to help them instead of mocking them.

and the lady who gave birth without knowing she was pregnant,

Having never given birth, but vastly experienced in watching the process, (6 times) I find it quite unbelievable that a women does not know she is pregnant.

I believe they possess a high level of denial.

At the late stages of the birth process the kid was kicking me at night LOL

You think he earn some ridicule?

Do you know his heart or mind?

Do you know just like you he too is a child of the Lord?

I think we all got caught up over the years in the put down comedy show of one liners that some how we lost our humanity!

don't mean to single you out you are one of many...
