Want to See What Your Fat REALLY Looks Like!?

I found this shocking image today with the accompanying article:


So I Should Skip Brunch?!

Ugh. This totally ruined me for my typical Sunday food-fest. This is an actual scan of a 250 pound woman and a 120 pound woman. The fat along the arms and legs actually doesn’t bother me a bit, it’s what seems to be going on in the abdominal area that scares the bejesus out of me and is making me think I should nix the french toast this morning (even if it was going to be with whole grain bread).

Still_Sossy

Starkle09

WOW!!! Talk about an eye opener. Thanks for posting this.

MistyMtnMan

No prob. That's the real deal people.

That is just crazy. And gross.

ya, whats even more disturbing than whats going on in the midsection is whats going on in the head. The overweight woman has some big, light-colored blobs in there. I wonder what that is. Fat?

jenken99

Yeah it's all so messed up. It's sad cause our bodies aren't meant to get like that.

Holy cow! Has anyone been the Bodies exhibits? Similar to that. What is the link to that article?

Whoa! Not only is the fat scary, but look at how off-balance (for lack of better word) the muscles are. The body looks completely malalligned.

OHHHHMYGOSH! Makes me want to push my workout even harder today!

WOW, I can't stop staring at that picture!!! Amazing how the extra fat distorts body shape so much, and not just from the outside appearance but how it pushes your organs into new places and disaligns your skeleton & muscles even. I want my fat gone!!!

Wow, just wow...

djkymba

Now THAT is motivation!! Thanks...and ew.

Wow.. I can't stop staring... I am so glad I talked myself out of a pasta binge for lunch and went with spinach, kale and rice. That is just so scary.. It makes me wonder if that is what the fat looks like there, what about the viseral fat surrounding all the organs... This will be my motivation to not jump off the wagon...

That's an eye opener!!

I think it's just a slightly different section and is showing part of the cerebellum, don't take that for granted though it's beena long time since my neuroanatomy days!
What I think is significant is the same size lungs struggling against all that visceral and peripheral fat, no wonder exercise is so much harder when significantly overweight.
Also look at the strain on the knees and ankles, that persons every waking moment must be so uncomfortable.
Definitely a great source of inspiration, thanks!

Thank you for sharing. Biggest Loser does this to with their contestants....it is unreal. It really does put a body into perspective. I should get an image done of mine....I wonder how it looks.

MistyMtnMan

Man, I am so happy it is motivating for everyone. That was the plan

I don't think your mistaking at all....o.o

Hollycat

Wow. That really hit me. In addition to the scary stuff going on in the abdomen, what I noticed right off was how out of alignment the limbs are, the resulting pressure on the knee joints in particular. I just know if I get all this weight off, my knees are going to be a whole lot better...

The truth hurts, I might need to print this and put it on my refridgerator and on my desk at work. Looking at this is nothing but pure motivation to get in shape and stay in shape. Thanks for sharing, I guess. JUST KIDDING

That's a real eye opener. thanks

letsdothis2010

Holy cow. I just want to say thank you for giving me the motivation to be extremely conscious about my food, seriously.

Wow...I can't stop looking at it. Wow. I too might have to print this and post it somewhere. Too much.
