I came across this list today, I normally love internet top ten lists but this one is very disturbing & sad to me,

http://www.oddee.com/item_98150.aspx

It's the ten heaviest people in the world from now & some from the past.

I cannot how far some people let themselves get before they realize their weight could kill them.. I can't imagine being confined to a bed & not being able to take care of myself. They can't have any quality of life, good to see that some of them make a change & try to get healthy though.

Just found it interesting & figured I would share.

    LOL. The people who paid to watch her eat were fetishists. I guess if you were going to get that heavy, may as well be paid for it. ;)

    I'm more disturbed by the heaviest child- getting fed all that nonsense and his mom just thinks it's cute.

    Thats what I was thinking too :(

    They are paying to watch her slowly kill herself, I understand a lot of men out there like 'big' women but you would think health would be put ahead of that! You can be a 'bigger' women & stay healthy, not morbidly obese but your health should be far more important then some strangers fetish.... Crazy!

    I found the first one from the past interesting... Like, it wasn't so much his doing at much as a malfunctioning pituitary gland. I knew a girl who had the same problem.

    I was going to say exactly the same thing! Much better for our psyche! :)
    But did you notice most of them are not working for american companies?

    That's so messed up about that kid. You'd think the government would want to inspect that house/their daily lives - instead of making him famous over there :/ Poor kid.

    i can't believe #2 had a baby at that weight!!! it's so unhealthy to her and the baby! I'm so glad the baby lived but she never, ever should have even gotten pregnant in the first place.

    Ok first off, good thing I didn't eat before clicking on that link... my lunch is brewing on the upside..

    second of all... so really the court ordered she was too FAT to kill her nephew??

    "Mayra Rosales Child Murder - 1,000-lb woman is 'too big to kill' "

    A Texas court has ruled that Mayra Rosales, who weighs about 1,036 pounds, weighs too much, and that it would have been impossible for her to lift her arm in order to kill her 2-year-old nephew, whom she was accused of murdering in 2008. (Link | Via)

    Number 3 - Manuel Uribe

    He has lost most of his weight without surgery.. going from 597 kg (1,320 lb) to 199.5 kg (440 lb)!! That should be an inspiration.

    I was going to say I preferred that one too. In fact, my heart was racing a little and I'm a little flushed. Whoa, hot!

    Tara Lynn has always turned me on but I might push her out of bed for Christina Mendez!

    Why do people look to the government to fix every problem?

    The court didn't order, they found. They found that it was impossible for her to have killed her nephew because she wasn't strong enough to lift her arm. The "headline" was poorly written. Why would that not make sense?

    Because it would have been.

    And she didn't kill her nephew. Her sister was abusing him and killed him, then convinced Mayra to take the blame, which she did because she didn't feel she had anything to live for, her sister was pregnant (I think?) and she loved her sister so wanted to protect her.

    I was thinking the same thing. At first I thought it would be invitro or something of that sort- but no doctor would impregnate a woman of that size.

    I find it very difficult to feel sympathy for these people. Also the first one blaming the NHS, just wow.

    I don't understand it sometimes. So often, they're like "I have 10 fish and chip suppers a day"- maybe if they even cut down to 9 they might notice a difference?!
    I'm dead serious, at that weight they might even lose some pounds. And that's just a starter. Take off the gravy. It's a tiny step but not one of them does it. They wait for surgery, or moan that the government is ignoring them.
