There are very few that are bed ridden because of weight. About 1/3 of the US is obese and that makes me sad.
It's really not super hard nowadays to reduce your caloric intake even just a couple of hundred calories and lose a pound or so each month. My biggest complaint is when the overweight people, especially women, get defensive about something that they could change if they wanted to. It doesnt help their case when they park in handicap spots and then go into the store and get onto a motorized cart.

QUOTE='Ringoffire' I feel that you don't know the difference between overweight and morbidly obesity. SonyNintendoFan What is the difference? Overweight, obese, sounds the same to me. Both can't do the physical activities that a normal, healthy adult can do. Both receive insults.
What's your point? I am overweight. According to my BMI, I am obese. (Not terribly obese, though). I am not bed ridden. I do not need any assistance to do basic activities, such as walking in a store. I can workout without needing help (though, my endurance does need work.) I do not feel sorry for myself, nor do I expect anyone to feel sorry for me.
I also don't really care what other people think of me. By the way, even with my weight, I am still a healthy, normal (.for the most part.) adult.

Kurushio One thing about the handicapped thing.you say that about a third of the USA is obese (I'm not gonna check that, but I'll take your word on it for now). Yet, handicapped parking spaces aren't taking up a third of the parking lot, and most stores I've been to don't exactly have a $.load of motorized carts. So.where are you exactly getting the idea that fat people are overwhelmingly parking in handicap zones and using mortorized carts because they don't want to walk?
Two things: 1) In certain cases, obesity IS a handicap. If you're so obese that you're handicapped, then why SHOULDN'T you park in handicapped spaces and use the motorized carts that are there to be used by handicapped people? 2) How many of these people that you've seen have you actually talked to in order to find out what their handicap is?
That's the thing that annoys the $. out of me. People see a fat dude on a motorized cart and assume that he's just a lazy fatass who is using a motorized cart because he doesn't want to walk. In other words, that he's using handicap resources because he's fat. What people don't ever seem to consider is that maybe he had some other disabilitty which contributed to him becoming obese. As in, he ALREADY had limited mobility, and his limited mobility played a huge part in him getting fat. I don't know if I feel sorry for them as long they don't want to change it themselves.

I'm not dealing with eating too much and being overweight, but dealing with the opposite. There can go up to three days before I intake any food, and I only do it because my body starts to hurt. I'm going to the doctor about it next week, maybe I'm having an eating disorder. I don't really feel that sorry about the fat people. It must be great being able to eat food, and not feeling horrible and guilty about it the second after, like I do.
