So this is an old documentary, but I wondered if anyone else had seen it?

I know views will be polarised to two extremes; 1) it's his own damn fault, let him sink and 2) he has a genuine problem.. personally I can empathise greatly (being very overweight myself) and don't subscribe to the "he should just stop eating!" viewpoint..

Anyway, two things struck me:

1) The doctor treating him, who said "For some reason society now sees it as unacceptable to be hungry. If you're hungry you have a snack to 'tide you over' till the next meal. Well that's wrong. You don't see a lion having a chipmunk just to tide him over till the next antelope.."
2) Isn't it ironic that the two helpers he has look after him are thin, very attractive, relatively young, women.. I don't know about you but I'd find that utterly frustrating!

Yep, the skinny folk will appear soon to decree all fat people fit for nothing but killing off


One thing that always astounds me - laporascopic surgery (keyhole surgery).. Quite how you learn the dexterity and spatial awareness skills to operate through three small holes with long tools like that is beyond me!

I'm six-one and weigh fourteen stone. At a recent routine check up the nurse told me I was about a stone above my ideal weight. I informed her I'm big-boned not fat:y

Quite frankly...if you are a little too heavy or a little too skinny it matter's little. Obesity is a big problem in this country however. Especially in children.

I agree with you there - as the surgeon on that show said; if we don't tackle the problem now (at the root) it'll be something that breaks the NHS in 20 years..

Assuming we still have an NHS in 20 years

I must admit Aaron. I do like an extra pinch of feminine flesh on a woman.

Some people are brought up by their families and fed too much, others are just greedy and lazy. There are too many of the latter around at the moment, and as said, it will put huge strain on the NHS in years to come

im just under that & a measly 10 & half stone.  makes me about a stone underweight.

Likewise, or sometimes even less....

[tunnie]

I'm 6ft4/5 (i should really check!) I weigh 12 stone, which is about right now, maybe about 1/2 stone under what I should be at my height.

I had a full check up a month back by one of the nurses on our private health care (rather attractive nurse she was too  )

All my cholesterol, blood pressure ect was normal. I do cycle to work sometimes, which is 5 miles each way and back, so that helps balance out the beer and junk food i eat!

For me, I think its a lack of exercise these days, everything can be done from a computer, order food, have it delivered, stay in contact with friends. Fatty foods & no physical exercise

No such thing.    (Sits back and "weights" for the excuses)

reminded me of benny hill in the italian job.

Ditto.. most of my exes have been rubinesque, all except one actually.. granted one of them looked a bit like Shrek, but two (one thin and one not) were gorgeous (IMHO, of course!)


I wish I could claim to be your weights, though! I'm 5'9" and 27st :-/ always been overweight (for as long as I can remember, so at least back to 7-8) and it's accelerated as I've got older.

I know if I drop back to 1200-1500kcal a day I can lose 1-2lb a week, which would see me back at 'ideal' in 2-3 years.. 'course if you calculate my RMR and how many kcal I 'theoretically' expend per day, I ought to lose weight at 5-6lb a week on that diet and annoyingly I've known people who can do just that.. just like I reckon some of you would be surprised what I (don't) eat in a day normally, yet am like this

Such is life, eh!

[Dishevelled Den]

I must admit Aaron. I do like an extra pinch of feminine flesh on a woman. 

Oooh no, no ,no  Opti.

She must be a size 10 max, 5'11" - 6' tall, 32 A in bust size, have long flowing hair, with eyes displaying untold depth and a voice of the most mellifluous tone, her lips should be so inviting to the point where One can only but surrender immediately to their caress and all these attributes under orders from a brain the size of a small island.

Finally and perhaps most importantly this woman must have the spirit of a warrior and the compassion of one who always seeks to find the best in others and who will always give of her best in return.

Do I ask for too much?
