“Exactly, and she needs to stop eating junk food, stop feeling sorry for herself and start eating healthier.”

Let’s not jump to conclusions here. I don’t know what she does or does not eat. I don’t follow her on Tic Tok because I don’t use that platform.

A lot of people who are over weight are so not because of food but other factors. One of which is health related. Remember Mama Cass? Hers was thyroid and actually she did try to died to the point that it made her health worse. (I liked her and read up on her) Point being some health issues a person just can’t win.

The other is medication. Ever heard of prednisone? That drug is a classic example of a drug that can make a person plus size in a matter of months. It’s a life saving drug but it works with a vengeance. I could name you about 10 other popular drugs that do the same thing.

Here is a quick list I pulled from google:

Insulin
Antipsychotics
Some beta blockers like metoprolol
Antidepressants
Antihistamines
Corticosteroids
Antiepileptics
Anticonvulsant
Antidiabetics
Contraceptives
Hormones
Antidepressant
Topiramate

Those are just the usual suspect too.

These days? I suspect processed foods are making a lot of people overweight. In days passed our mom’s made us home cooked meals and we did not gain this much weight. Now more and more are eating processed foods and are less healthy and have more weight.

The numbers of those who are seriously overweight for genetic is actually quite small. The vast majority are due to lifestyle & diet.

This person IS NOT “plus sized”. She IS morbidly obese. Others that fat have been found literally “glued to the broken springs” in their couches. Infested with insects breeding in their bodies and feeding off of the food stuck in their flesh.
