Morbid Obesity, Only Child Syndrome & the World's Biggest Butt

Who knows why, but this Easter morning people from all over the world are coming to this blog looking for the World's Biggest Butt, Only Child Syndrome help and what to do about Morbid Obesity.

Why does this world-wide search for the World's Biggest Butt go through these repeating cycles? I can understand why those who are at the mercy of an Only Child might search for relief and why people are concerned about Morbid Obesity. But the endless quest to find the World's Biggest Butt?

Actually, I can sort of see a connection between big butts, only child syndrome and morbid obesity. As in I've seen all three in one person, more than once.

Anyway, this morning I got the longest comment ever to this blog. The subject was Morbid Obesity. The commenter was my most frequent commenter, that being Anonymous.

Below is what Anonymous had to say about Morbid Obesity, complete with reference links Anonymous provided...

I agree with you that morbid obesity is a form of mental illness and often-times bad character, including self-loathing, boundary issues, lack of personal responsibility, delusional thinking and usually obsessive-compulsive.

Survey says grossly obese people even over 400 pounds don't view themselves as overweight so that ought to be a tip off right there that there is something horribly wrong with them.

"...Indeed, among adults who met the National Institutes of Health criteria for being obese, only 15 percent realized they were obese, notes Kimberly P. Truesdale of the University of North Carolina. She says that her team's findings, which she reported in San Francisco earlier this month at the Experimental Biology '06 meeting, have important public health implications: "If [obese] people don't identify with being obese, then they're most likely going to ignore messages warning of health risks."..."

Most of them claim it's some kind of thyroid problem, but even people with thyroid difficulties who wish to be healthy can manage it.

It's a lack of self-control and often a method of trying to force other people to give them sympathy and special treatment while themselves lacking empathy for others.

Many morbidly obese are complete power-freaks. Morbidly obese women tend to view all normal weight women as enemies and tend to be bullies and this is true even in childhood.


"...What has struck me is that often the female serial bully is fat, and chooses a slim female target on to whom to project her self-loathing. Envy is a strong motivator for bullies...."

Survey says - most fat people are fat because they are lazy:

Very obese adults almost completely sedentary.

"Morbidly obese adults are sedentary for more than 99 percent of the day, getting only a fraction of the amount of walking that experts recommend for staying healthy, a small study suggests...

...The study of 10 men and women found that participants spent an average of 23 hours and 52 minutes sleeping, lying down or sitting each day...."

Kids Who Lack Self-Control More Prone to Obesity Later

"... In two papers published this week in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, scientists found that preschool-age children who had trouble with self-control and the ability to delay gratification gained more weight by the time they were preteens than those who were better at regulating their behavior..."

So it seems, to lose weight you've got to burn the candle from both ends. Not only is it necessary to reduce caloric intake, it's also necessary to increase caloric usage. It's a mean cycle. The larger a person gets, the more likely they're to become more sedentary. If an obese person never receives a personal awakening of sorts, they're doomed. Is doomed too strong a word?

I think "DOOMED" is right on target.

RESPECFULLY TO DURANGO AND WHOEVER THE ANONYMOUS COMMENTOR IS: FIRST, GENERALISM IS NEVER A GOOD THING, EVERY OBESE PERSON HAVE THEIR OWN REALITY AND TO SAY OR IMPLY THAT EVERY OBESE PERSON SHARE THE SAME BAD HABITS OR PSYCOLOGY IS SIMPLY IGNORANT. SEE, I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF US HAVE OUR OWN DEMONS, BAD HABITS THAT SOMETIMES GET OUT OF CONTROL WITH OR WITHOUT REALIZING IT. OBESE PEOPLE HAPPEN TO WEAR THEIR DEMON, UNLIKE AN ALCOHOLIC, SEXUAL ADDIT OR WIFE BEATER AND SOME OTHER TERRIBLE THINGS PEOPLE DO. THEY ARE ABLE TO HIDE WHATEVER IT IS.
YOU ARE BOTH ENTITLED TO YOUR OWN OPINIONS, BUT A SIMPLY OBSERVATION ABOUT VERY OPINIONATED PEOPLE IS THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY THOSE WITH BIG OPINIONS ARE JUST PEOPLE THAT SUFFER FROM LONELINES, OBSERVERS BUT NEVER ATTACHED, UNABLE TO LOVE OR FEEL COMPASSION, SINCE IN THEIR OWN WORLD THEY ARE SO PERFECT AND BETTER THAN THE REST OF US. WHY DON'T YOU USE YOUR ENERGY AND YOUR TIME TO GROW MENTALLY AND SPIRITUALLY? I RATHER BUILD THAN DESTROY. I RATHER BE A MENTOR THAN A CRITIC.I RATHER EDUCATE MYSELF THAN REMAIN IGNORANT. I'M FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE THAT SOCIETY HAVE TURN CRITICIZING, JUDGING, SCORNING, REJECTING, HATING, ETC, INTO THEIR SPORT OF CHOICE. HOMOSEXUALS, HOMELESS,POOR,OF CERTAIN RELIGIOUS OR ETHNIC GROUPS , OBESE AND THE LIST GO ON AND ON.ALL OF THOSE WHICH SOCIETY HAVE DECIDED ARE NOT FITTED TO BE LIKED, LOVE, ACCEPTED AS THEY ARE. MANY OF THIS PEOPLE HAVE SUFFER LIKE WE COULD NOT IMAGINE. I CHOOSE TO EMBRACE HUMANITY, WITH OUR FLAWS AND WEAKNESSES. THAT CHOICE HAVE ENABLE ME TO SEE THE BEAUTY IN EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE, TO BE SURROUNDED WITH LOVE AND COMPASSION, IT IS A GOOD THING. TRY IT, YOU MIGHT LOVE IT TOO. REGARDS TO BOTH OF YOU.
IMAGINE IS MY SONG AND A DREAMER I AM, SOOO PROUD OF IT.

I love comments like the one from Anonymous. So, totally clueless and so totally oblivious to the irony of what they type. And all in CAPITALS. I suspect that Anonymous is likely a tad on the chunky side. Just a guess.

Anonymous said...

dear durango, here i go , all in lowercase, just here to please you.enlight me please, since i find you so fascinating. clueless, why? where do you find the irony?. would my weight make a difference to you?. i'm 115 pounds on a 66 inch frame, just fabulous. i guess my fitness entitles me to have valid opinions. one of my flaws is that sometimes i waste my time. then again, nobody is perfect. got to do taxes, talk to you later.

Dear Anonymous---

I appreciate you going into lower case mode. And finding me fascinating. As to the use of the 'clueless' word. Well, you seemed to sort of miss the drift. Maybe that was my clueless perception, but that's what I thought. Like saying generalizing is never a good thing, and then proceeding to sorta generalize. As for irony, you spewed a lot of rather dismissive comments that seemed rooted in your own thought pattern, rather than what was actually verbalized.

And then there were the rampant misspellings. Which really does not relate to anything germane. But sorta causes a hit on the credence meter for me when I'm reading something.

I'd lay odds that anonymous is a porky fat ass, contrary to what anonymous claims.

Anonymous said...

mr or mrs anonymous you loose. i run 6 miles a day, well except on sundays. do that make me more decerving of your time? as for you mr durango, i didn't know i was going to be grade in my grammar. i choose not to spell check since i read blogs for fun. as for my thought process, i been told that is one of my charms, kinda, sort of all over the place. i guess i will have to quit you since i'm too sensitive and you are exactly the opposite. maybe that is the reason of my attraction to you and your ramblings. you know the saying, opposites attract.consider this your dear john letter, just when i was falling in love. ja, ja , ja. take care.

I'd leave anonymous alone in case they know where you live.
I like the list of people we scorn reject and hate:
"HOMOSEXUALS, HOMELESS,POOR,OF CERTAIN RELIGIOUS OR ETHNIC GROUPS , OBESE"
Only two of those groups are choices: Religious and Obese.
I wonder if any scientific research has been done in this area?

Funny how some focus on silly things. Like being over weight. Technically speaking obesity causes health related issues. Plain and simple.
I lost lotsa weight on the " my husband has a hoochie mama " diet. Works wonders. Don`t sudjest your other half rush out and get one to help your diet issues.

Cheap Tricks and Costly Truths said...

Wow...there's a bit of hostility being spewed in certain remarks, which only leads one to infer that the hostile have taken offense for a couple of reasons: 1. Hostile person thinks this blog is directed towards her. Which would be an inaccurate conclusion, especially since hostile person stated that the blog is full of generalizations. If that's true, then how could it be specifically directed towards anyone in particular? or 2. Hostile person actually knows the blogger and also knows for a fact that the blogger is referring to her, which would mean that hostile person has misrepresented herself.
I happen to be accepting and open to all, I don't discriminate and only choose the ill perceived like anonymous apparently does.
