Her "character's" over-eating?

That's what they're calling it now?

This woman is going to die. Soon. I was also morbidly obese (not Chrissy’s size but probably close) and I did something about it. With all of the resources available to her, why the fuck isn’t she taking any action? Is she in denial about her size?

R1 - that's what everyone here calls it.

I feel bad for her, but a horrible choice in outfits.

Recently she was making the rounds after losing a little bit of weight (very little) and talking about how she was now living her best life--or whatever Frauism. How she was getting things under control, blah, blah. Here we are, just a month later and she's as big if not bigger than ever. (This photo was taken in September, apparently).

Where is her snack clutch? Was she worried carrying it would ruin the lines of the gown? Maybe Pon took it for a refill during the step and repeat. Or lumber and repeat in this case.

Congrats R2 Well done! She's in denial about absolutely everything is my take.

I am at my biggest, yet nowhere near Chrissy's size, and my body aches. I can't imagine the pain she must be in just walking and getting up from her chair. And the stench. Let's not sugarcoat it, fat people usually smell.

You don't know that, and you're just projecting.

There are many obese people who end up living long lives, and there are many thin people who die young.

It's more about genetics, than it is about weight.

Chrissy could very well live to be in her 80's, and you... well maybe not.

Also, have a care for Chrissy's toilet. She would be dumping megatons on the daily. Her toilet paper bill must be astronomical. Does she use toilet paper? I'd imagine she's graduated to hand towels by now.

Nobody is saying that she isn't overweight.

But she also isn't necessarily UNHEALTHIER than someone who is normal weight, or under weight.

You're just hating on her because of her appearance, and not out of any genuine concern for her health or well being. At least be honest about it.

by Anonymousreply 13October 16, 2019 9:48 PM

I'm very upfront about it R13. I have no concern for her well being, I am simply flabbergasted that no one in her orbit seems to care enough about her to intervene. She's clearly a food addict and needs help. And don't be an idiot, there is no way that woman is in good health when her organs are being suffocated by so much adipose tissue.

by Anonymousreply 14October 16, 2019 9:53 PM

R10 A lot of that sort of thing was discussed in the Chrissy Metz continuation threads. Consensus from a few nurses / caregivers was that she likely uses a "toileting assistance tool" to wipe. A fancy pants (heh) term for a rag on a stick. Those don't come cheap. Unless she really uses a rag on a stick to keep costs down.

She must use something. Look at the photo. Her arms can't reach around her belly. No way they can reach around her backside. As for how she manages on long flights...there is no way she could fit into those tiny lavs. She likely doesn't eat well before hand, and uses adult diapers to pee in.

In what universe can she be considered healthy? I am no fat-shamer, in fact I find people who are too body-obsessed to be shallow, dull and anal-retentive, but she has gained AT LEAST fifty pounds since she started the show if not more. She is headed for a lifetime of heart problems and muscle and joint problems, and far worse. She’s young enough to turn it around and she should. Sure it’s her choice and her body, and she can do what she wants but it why not take care of the only body you have?

by Anonymousreply 18October 16, 2019 10:12 PM

I have no idea how a person gets like this, or what’s behind it, but I will say this, please, please , please, get help. It’s not healthy and it’s not about assholes who fat shame you. It’s about living whatever time you have left on this earth, as people who are not incarcerated by your own bodies. You deserve to know what it feels like to move without pain, and without restrictions.

I know that it’s probably one of the MOST difficult things to overcome, but speaking as someone who has overcome my own issues and demons, I promise you, it can be done.

And if know one says this to you because no one gives a shit, I give a shit. And I’m rooting for y’all.

If you look at the photo at R16, the people shaming Chrissy can see that you're just being obsessive and ridiculous.

The woman pushing her in the wheelchair, is nearly her size. And the guy in the right of the photo (in the gray suit), is almost exactly her size.

Face it, Americans and Brits are just getting larger. Deal with it.

R20, we actually don’t have to deal with it, because we who aren’t overweight or obese, aren’t dealing with being overweight or obese.

Anyone who thinks that people should continue to destroy themselves just because everyone else is doing it, is a fucking idiot. It’s like telling someone to walk around holding a 100 lbs or more backpack for the rest of their life? Why would anyone support that kind of agony and discomfort on another person? These people are clearly suffering and are clearly not “dealing with it” too well, themselves.

I weigh 300 pounds. I've weighed 300 lbs--give or take 20 lbs--since I was 16.

I'm a nobody and over the years I've seen the stares and heard the comments.

I can't imagine being famous and going out in public. You bet your Goddamned ass I'd hire someone to get me in shape and cook my meals if I had her money.

by Anonymousreply 23October 16, 2019 11:12 PM

I weighed 335 and had gastric bypass surgery 12 years ago. I have lost 100 of those pounds and feel better than I did back then. I will never be svelte nor up to DL's exacting standards, but my diabetes is much more controlled and I have more energy--including for moderate exercise. Like R23, I certainly recall the comments and looks (and lost job opportunities, I think, because of conscious or unconscious judgments about whether my character was reflected in my obesity). I have a hard time believing that her degree of obesity will not have grave health outcomes. That, rather than her appearance, should be what makes her decide whether to lose weight--and how to do it, if she wants to. I hope she's not remaining morbidly obese to protect her "brand."

by Anonymousreply 24October 16, 2019 11:28 PM

Has there ever been anyone as big as her as a regular on a network television show? The only one I can think of is Mabel King, of What's Happening. And, until the diabetes took one of her legs and one of her arms, she at least carried it better.

I think she looks tremendous!

by Anonymousreply 26October 16, 2019 11:46 PM

R9, Metz isn't overweight, she's morbidly obese. The optimum BMI for longevity and health cited in that Guardian article was a bit over 26, just past the normal 25 cut-off. Metz is 5'5". A 5'5" woman with a 26 BMI weighs 156 pounds.

Metz is easily twice that.

A BMI of 35 for a woman of her height is 210--and she looks well over that.

This is an ill woman. She's getting close to 40, the point where how you treat your body really starts to catch up with you--diabetes, heart issues, blood pressure, joint issues--all those things.

For those of us who don't have skin in the game, it's depressing to see this. No, morbidly obese people don't live into their 90s. She's not pleasantly plump, she's dangerously fat.

R25, Gabourey Sidibe got up there. Mama Cass was always the super fat star when I was a kid, but comparatively she doesn't look that big these days --just heavy, not extraordinarily so.

R25 Even Mabel at her very biggest was only barely approaching 2 thirds of a Chrissy, and she did carry it much better. Chrissy carries her weight in such a weird fucking way. I'm not joking or being a total cunt when I say I would truly like to see what she looks like naked, because I just can't figure it out.

by Anonymousreply 30October 16, 2019 11:55 PM

If Metz weighs more than 240 pounds, her BMI is above 40. Having that high a BMI reduces her life expectancy by 10 years. She's basically the large equivalent of a heavy smoker.

by Anonymousreply 31October 16, 2019 11:59 PM

R30

She carries almost all of her weight in her torso, which is even more dangerous than having that much weight distributed throughout the body. Despite the alternative science promoted by the fat acceptance activist in this thread, carrying a great deal of extra weight is bad for you even if it's muscle, it's even worse when it's fat, and it's much, much worse when the fat is strangling one's inner organs. Visceral fat causes heart disease and diabetes regardless of lifestyle.

Almost everyone whom I have known who went in for the gastric bypass, eventually gained it all back. That’s why if it were a choice I ever had to make, I’d opt for the arduous yet traditional way to lose the extra pounds.

If she did it slowly, and under supervision by medical and dietary specialists, she’d be at a normal weight for a woman of her height and skeletal frame, within 2.5 to 3 years. I know that seems like forever, but Rome wasn’t built in a day. When done slowly, one tends to stick to the newfound eating habits and regular exercise.

This is what sugar has done to Americans. I have a family member who was was gorgeous while we were teenagers. She looked like that actress who played Holly on General Hospital years ago. Anyhow, she had a Marilyn Monroe body type-naturally curvy, & big boobs by age 14. I ran track in high school, & she would wait for me to leave practice, & we’d walk home together, because we were practically next door neighbors. Everyday, I’d buy a pack of M & Ms after practice, and she would buy a Coke. I’d stop the candy after consuming the bag of chocolate, and she’d get home, and open up another can of Coke, because her mom bought it regularly. Eventually, I stopped eating the M & Ms after track, & began waiting to get home, in order to steam vegetables and fish or chicken. She continued with the Cokes.

By the time she hit 20, she was 50 lbs overweight. By 30, she was almost 100 lbs overweight, & it only got worse as time continued. In her 40s, she was diagnosed with diabetes, and had a heart attack, which she survived.

We come from 1/2 of the same gene pool. The differences are consumption and addiction to sugar. I only consumed it after running track, & she consumed after watching me run track, and after she got home, and whenever she wanted it, because her household made it available. I stopped consuming sugar because I found a better energy source, & she stuck to sugar. I continued exercising & eating healthy, & she never exercised, & continued her addiction to sugar.

This link below explains how people become addicted to sugar, and how to break the addiction. It’s a long ass video, but it’s worth watching if you’re struggling with your weight or with primary health issues that are the root cause of obesity.

R36 I had a relative almost a big looking as Chrissy, her doctor told her she had to lose weight. She told him she wanted to try diet and exercise. Her doctor told her that would be fine, AFTER having gastric bypass. He didn't want her to try exercise first because he thought it would literally kill her.

by Anonymousreply 38October 17, 2019 12:54 AM

Golf claps for you, R36. You’ve proved your superiority to the poor, sugar addicted fatty. Now go eat your steamed vegetables and fish.

by Anonymousreply 39October 17, 2019 12:56 AM

R39, I used her as an example because I know her very well, and because we’re related, thereby, sharing genetic material. I have a birds eye view into her life, as she does into mine.

I am in no way superior to her, and ONLY used her as a true narrative, that depicts how two women who are related, ended up with different outcomes, due to dietary and lifestyle choices. I also used her story in particular, because I happen to be certain that the HUGE difference between us is sugar consumption and addiction.

The food and beverage industry in the United States is as culpable for chronic illness & premature deaths, as is the tobacco industry. Americans are bombarded with advertisements which single out & highlight pure junk food, and beverages that offer them astronomical amounts of sugar in a single serving of the product. And if you take notice, you’ll observe that while medical associations and government agencies have countered and pushed back on the dangers of smoking and nicotine addiction, there’s nothing out there that translates or represents a similar campaign regarding sugar. Instead, we’re bombarded with counter measures by that same industry, pushing weight loss solutions, packaged as meals which promise weight loss, from Jenny Craig, or Weight Watcher, while doctors immediately push for gastric bypass.

We should not be in a situation, as a society, where kids are clinically obese, by the time they’re 10 years of age. Once you pack on that kind of weight as an adolescent, the chances of ever losing it, or keeping it off once lost, are slim to non-existent. A person like Chrissy, was most probably already overweight by the time she was 15. She got like that because of her diet. An example can be used: an adult who eats a healthy diet, with little to no sugar, and doesn’t consume prepackaged, precooked, processed, canned of fast foods, would have to spend most of their day consuming healthy foods, in order to become morbidly obese. But all they need to do in order to reach morbid obesity by eating junk foods and fast foods, is to consume those foods as their 3 main meals, with the occasional unhealthy snack, and 3 or more soft drinks throughout the day.

My relative has gone through a lifetime of hell because of the way she was taught to eat as a child. She is an amazing human being, & I love her. She’s one of my best friends. Her health predicaments are totally preventable, yet the most common one faced in our country.

And just so you know, the only reason why I didn’t end up obese, is because my parents didn’t buy junk food. I had very limited access to it, & only ate it when sourced from outside of my home. That doesn’t make me superior to her, or anyone else who is obese, since just like people who became overweight as children, I didn’t have any say in what our fridge was stocked with. That doesn’t make me superior, that just makes me randomly lucky.
