Right...I know what you mean. Which is why I said that I know sometimes these things are medical. My mom got really big in recent years - but she was not eating at all badly.
Turns out it was thyroid plus a wheat allergy she never knew she had - along with another health issue - her weight gain was almost completely medical. She was diagnosed, told what to do and she's now back to her normal size.... So I do try not to judge too harshly.
But when I see someone who is morbidly obese in line at McDonalds or getting a 24-pack of non-diet soda with a pack of donuts it's hard not to - though again, what do I care? It's not my life....
Mostly though I do feel sorry for these people, I got to a certain point with my weight where I knew I could not get any bigger - which is why I'm so curious to know how it gets out of hand to the point where one can't even get out of bed or even clean themselves
