[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a belief that in order to maintain a weight like Kate's you have to eat a lot -- like a whole tub of ice cream or a whole box of donuts everyday (in addition to your meals).  You can't stay that weight if you are eating somewhat normal portions.

Am I wrong?[/quote]

If your thyroid was really messed up, you could get that fat even without eating like that. But then you should go to an endocrinologist and get it taken care of.[/quote]

If her thyroid was so messed up that it caused her to weigh as much as she does she would have a lot of other medical issues as well so of which could make it hard to function. Most obesity is caused by one thing... over eating.

has anyone else noticed how terrible her skin is too? Whenever they do a close up shot of her face I am shocked her skin looks so bad, even with all the makeup. [/quote]

Taking in that many calories is not good for your skin, and it shows. Few morbidly obese people have great skin. I'm puzzled as to why she doesn't want the lap band surgery. I would be there in a heart beat if I got to that weight and couldn't lose (for whatever reason). The aesthetics would bother me but the array of looming health issues would bother me even more. [/quote]

Lapbands have not proven to be really effective long-term with people of Chrissy's size. There are other surgical procedures that are much effective, but they are also more invasive and carry more risk.[/quote]

And, if you've ever seen "My 600 lb Life, you know that the surgery is no panacea.  If she couldn't start to lose the weight without surgery, it's unlikely or uncertain if she'd be able to keep the weight off even with the surgery.  The disordered eating that creates such obesity is not about the food. [/quote]

It’s not just the disordered eating, it’s the entire metabolic and hormonal changes that come along with it when the body gets that big. Chrissy could eat 2,000 cals a day for the rest of her life and her body will fight like hell to hang on to  the weight and then pack it back on. If she has a slip up (which is likely because she will feel hunger in a way you can’t imagine), she’ll gain it back faster. I’ve been overweight bordering on obese most of my life and it is a constant struggle just to not to be enormous, let alone be slim. And I don’t have PCOS or an untreated metobolic disorder.

At any rate, I’m glad the show is brave enough to show a fat woman living her life and not spending every second eating or thinking about her diet. That’s just not how many we’ll adjusts fat people live.[/quote]
