I weigh about 280 right now. How much weight do I need to gain before I can be considered disabled and I won't have to find another job? I got fired last week and I don't feel like working again.

I was in an Amsterdam Sex Shoppe (they spelled it like they lived back in ye olde dayes, don't ask me why) in 1991, and I saw this magazine called "Too Fat To ****." Man, the woman on the cover of that magazine was huge! She looked like the Michelin Man, but flesh colored, and it seemed to me like she wasn't able to move or anything like that. She kinda reminded me of a big loaf of bread, come to think of it.
Anywhoo...I imagine that if you're too fat to ****, then you're really out of luck, workwise. You certainly wouldn't be able to engage in "the world's oldest profession." Well, you might be able to pose for "Too Fat To ****" magazine, but that's in Holland, so in the US, you'd be in good stead. I think that this would be appealing to the government, as well, since if you're too fat to ****, you're too fat to have any kids, and so the government isn't going to have to kick down extra for children.
Good luck, you sound really ambitious!

I think you would have to be a lot fatter than that. I have seen some seriously huge people working. I think the only way they would let you collect disability is if you were unable to get yourself to work, like if you were too heavy for your legs to support you. Even then, you could get around in a wheel chair. You could answer phones unless you couldn't breathe properly.
It seems like it would be easier to lose weight and get a life than to live on a small disability check and fake being sick. I met a guy who had brain damage from a motorcycle accident, and he doesn't have to work anymore. He gets a couple hundrend a month, food stamps, and lives in subsidized housing. Oh boy, he's living the good life now.
You said you got fired, not laid off. One has to wonder why you were fired. Could it be your lack of a work ethic?
I agree with the other person who said you need to get God into your life. This will give you a better outlook, and you can get motivated to live a more productive life.

From your other questions is sounds like you worked for Penny's dept. store. You probably made close to minimum wage. At that salary you would probably only get about $500 a month, maybe a little more but not much, it is based on your previous income. You have to have a certain amount of points that you get for how long you worked in the last 5 or 10 years. Can't remember which one. Can you really live on that amount. You will be really poor for the rest of your live. See if you can get some type of training so that you can get a good paying job, one that you will like. Then it will be a joy to go to work. Maybe if you turned to God things would be easier for you. God helps those who helps themselves.

You are so LAZY! Shame on you for collecting free money that the rest of us working people are providing you via the taxes we pay from our checks. Some people really do have problems and are really unable to work. Get out there and get a job!
They did an episode of the Simpson's like that with Homer. They were depicting him as a fat lazy slob that didn't want to go to work. That is how you want to appear to the world? You must have issues.

It sounds to me as though you are already disabled in your thinking.
Wouldn't it be much better if you made the decision to lose the weight and get a job better than the one you got fired from?
The choice is yours. Live your life as though it doesn't matter or make something of yourself.
Of course I don't know your situation but consider this:
The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich. Proverbs 13:4

The government doesn't give disability for too fat or alcoholism or drug addiction any more....Get your lazy butt a job and you might could lose some weight and feel like someone special

You're obviously not too fat to type. Work out of your home and let your homestead spread!
