Members Invicta Posted May 26, 2012 Members Share Posted May 26, 2012 I saw this on the News yesterday. Her weight was given was 63 stone on one channel and 56 stone on another. (1 stone = 14lbs.) It said she had diabetes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlessedChristianlady8 Posted May 30, 2012 Members Share Posted May 30, 2012 I was an overweight teen with some health problems, I do believe that the parents are at fault for allowing their daughter to get this heavy. I hope the doctors and nurses there is putting her on a diet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Oldtimer Posted May 31, 2012 Members Share Posted May 31, 2012 To a large measure it is the fault of anyone who was taking food to her in the quantities needed to gain/maintain that amount of body fat. If she couldn't leave the house, someone had to bring those calories to her everyday. Since, apparently, she expressed the desire to lose weight, she didn't have people around her to give the support she needed to do same. It's like someone who wants to quit drinking or smoking and a family member or friend makes sure there's always a supply of same readily available. Put a pack of cigarettes in front of a person who's going through nicotine withdrawal and watch what happens. I KNOW what happens! Therefore I surmise, the same thing with this young woman. Somebody kept her craving for food well supplied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
