I see real fat ladies in restaurants eating a ton of food so I'm wondering if they know it's bad for them to be so over weight? Why are they like that?

Some people give up.
I was at the Mall of America last week and I saw a couple (in their 40's) riding those motorized things around because they had turned into blobs. It was obvious they didnt care anymore and gave up. It was sickening. And their daughter (who was in her 20's) was with them, and she looked like she was going to end up the same way. Why do people lose control over that? Gah. It actually makes me sick.

why do you only address the danger in women, men too are in danger. Some people though have a metabolic problem and unless they get medical help they can not lose weight no matter what they do. I know because in 5 months I gained 25 pounds and no matter how much excercise I did or little I ate I only got bigger! I was FAT for about 6 months and it was a terrible time for me. I cried every day. It turn out my thyroid was not working and my pancreas was making too much insulin. In three months after taking medication finally the workouts and my sensible diet started working. I lost 29 pounds and still losing! So, contrary to public opinion, not everyone that is fat is lazy or addicted to food, or sitting on their butts all day. There are many reasons for obesity and most people who are obese would rather not be.

you must realize that it is easier to gain weight than to lose it. Also alot of overweight people would like to lose the weight but may not have enough encouragement and support from close friends that help them stick to the plan to change their lifestyle.

Addiction. People get addicted to eating the same way others get addicted to drugs. Food is simply their drug of choice, and it's every bit as hard to stop eating like that as it is for a drug addict to quit taking drugs. Imagine being a drug addict who really wants to quit...but in order to survive, in order to live, you have to have a little bit of that drug every single day or you'll die. That's about what it's like. Drug addicts don't have to do drugs, but people have to eat. You can't NOT eat.
So yes, they really do, but the craving is intense and they gave in to it, because not giving in to it feels awful. And there are some who just don't care. But most of them do care. It's just not as easy as it looks.
