If you are over 500 pounds, how did you get that way?

Question

Did you eat and eat or do you have a medical problem? And are you bed-ridden?

Answer 1

probably the result of a depression-related eating disorder and family members who facilitate your disorde! Yes, you are probably bed-ridden.

Answer 2

I don't weigh 500 pounds, but I know people that do. One actually has a severe hormone deficiency that has caused her to gain a lot of weight. She is starting to lose because of the medication that she is on.

The other person I know just eats a lot. I mean A LOT. She will drink a two liter bottle of Dr Pepper. For lunch she had three scones, A can of spaghettios and some cookies. She just couldn't stop eating.
I found out it is because she was severely depressed due to her marital problems. Before she married she was quite slim and beautiful.

Depression and low self esteem can lead a person to eat and eat and eat. Depression throws our bodies off balance and it can either severely decrease or severely increase out appetites.

People that are that huge are very sick people and we do not realize it and we tend to judge and point fingers, but they are people that truly need help.

Answer 3

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)
