Do fat people just give up?

Do fat people just give up?
Sometimes when I am driving around or in a store and see a fat person I wonder if they have just given up on life. The worst case scenario is when I am eating at a Mcdonalds and I see like a three hundred pound person order like five double cheeseburgers and fries.
After a certain point, doesn't it just make sense for a fat person to just eat as much as they want all day every day? Like once you get to a certain point and you are super obese there is really no point in trying to lose hundreds of pounds.
But ya, I was just wondering what you guys think. Everyone has their own vices and the same concept could apply to a drug addict too.
Discuss.

I think most fat people do, but I've known a lot who didn't and lost weight.
It seems that most people we traditionally think of as fat are actually just big boned.

I sure would give up if I was super fat. I'm gonna die of a heart attack in the next year or two and I'm already super miserable. Might as well stuff my mouth with shit that give me immediate satisfaction in order to avoid reality.
Or I go get a massive lipo suction and sport a huge slab of loose skin t gross people out.
Either way when you cross the line between manageable and hopeless, might as well make the most of it. How many fat people actually lose the weight? 1%? 2% of them? Fuck it.

I was fairly overweight for a long time and one thing to keep in mind is that at a certain level, you're burning a fair amount of calories just hauling your ass around. I was always reasonably active at the same time, so I could grub a shit ton of food daily and my weight was always in stasis.
Now, down thirty pounds, I'm more active than I ever was but I'm still probably burning fewer calories than I was when I was more overweight.
While I know it's not super accurate or anything, I am pretty stoked that I've almost got my BMI under 25, and I can now do a bunch of pullups when I was never able to before in my life. Also, while I've always been working long hours, I now find that my feet don't hurt nearly as much after a 14 hour days as they used to,

My thought is, would the same person order the same food at McDonald's whether they weighed 350 or 150? I think they would. I don't think obese fattards got that way by making good food decisions in the first place. What makes you think they'll make better decisions when they weigh a lot?

It is difficult to lose 50+ pounds, especially when you are out of shape. Its easier to just be fat than to work really hard losing weight. Also I'm sure a lot of fat people feel shitty about their weight, which makes them depressed, which makes eating shitty that much more appealing. If you are in decent shape and you are over weight its entirely because of laziness. Changing your diet and running everyday is work, but you can easily lose 1-2 pounds a week doing this. Cutting down on drinking makes it harder for a lot of people, but it's about priorities.

once I reach a certain point I diet like a teenage girl (anorexia) jk about the eating disorder, but I do watch myself when I'm in slob mode

I was losing at least 20 pounds once a year for quite a number of years. I got up to 200 pounds over the winter (I'm 5'6) and lost 40 pounds over the past 4 months. Its gotten a lot easier since I've quit drinking, but its really easy to let yourself go if you aren't careful.

OP I would like to direct you to a fairly new documentary film called "Fed Up".
The film covers the obesity epidemic in America and how it caused mainly by beaurocratic fat cats in the food industry. Not to say that Americans aren't lazier than ever and, yes, many give up. Unfortunately, the miseducation of proper food health has many people wondering why they simply cannot lose weight. Also, the ever growing poor population are faced with making the decision of whether they can actually afford to eat healthy. Processed foods are generally far cheaper than healthier alternatives. It's another shitty statistic that affirms that America has been bought out.
I am obese. No, I have not given up. Yes, it is humiliating and my health is suffering. It sucks and without deeply scrutinizing every bite of food, it is incredibly difficult to lose weight.

I was overweight a few years back. I was so overweight I would soon have been obese and had I kept eating the same way, I would be morbidly obese by now I'm sure. I saw the light and found the way, let me tell ya brothers and sisters how to do it yourself.
First of all, there is no magic pill or treatment that will let you eat like a pig and lose weight. You must change eating habits and get some exercise. I went to food addicts anonymous, learned their system, used it and lost the excess weight and kept it off. That was about 10 years ago so I think its gone for good. I'm now just below my max healthy weight for my height so I'm not overweight let alone obese.
You will need a group to go to for support and reinforcement or it will be too easy to backslide. Here is the secret; no food with added sugar, flour or wheat. Also, avoid food heavy with fat like cheese, nuts and so on. They are only for treats, not for meals.
Do that and you will lose 2 to 5 lb a month with no effort, just keep doing what you are doing. Most fat people can't be bothered, they won't give up their mac d crap food, their pizza, sodas, candy, etc. You have to have the will to salvage your life and get where you want to be. It took me a couple years to get down, it was easy I never felt deprived at any point. If you reduce calories and use will power, you will lose weight faster but I did this with no effort.
No bread, no pasta, no diet soda, no crap. Can you do it or do you want to look like a walrus until you die of a painful disease?

If you wanna lose weight and have good self control just use stimulants IMO.

As a fat guy I got to chime in, some do, fat people are people just well fat. I've always been heavy set starting from an early age being 310 at 16 but I was active with weight lifting and what not, I did at one point after turning 18 and using amphetamine heavily down to 185lbs. But a year and a few months after that I got clean so to speak and the weight slowly came back. Well I'm not giving up it's going to take some time but I'm trying to work on it

They do it for the attention more than anything. If you keep making posts about them your letting them win. If you just ignored them, they'd give up on being fat, and just lose weight and be normal. The only way to really properly handle fat people is to just ignore them. Kinda like trolls on mushroom based internet forums. Just don't feed them, and they wont gain weight.

If I was one of those 600 pound people that requires a crane to hoist me out of bed, you bet your ass my exercise plan would be to shoot copious amounts of meth and jack off until I lose the weight. It would be a do or die scenerio though.

My friends in the 40's gave up, I look at a picture of them just 5 years and shake my fucking head on how fast they exploded into having no necks, walking like their pants are full of shit and a fuckton of medical issues from it.
One friend can't get a tech job because I believe employers see him as a health liability to their insurance.
And each generation is getting fatter, 30 years ago when I was in school 90% of the kids were healthy and fit with the very small handful fat kids. Now I go by schools and the obesity rate I observe is saddening....
