True....but it doesn't take long to ruin a sofa cushion.

In my experience, most super obese people cannot sit on sofas/couches. The basically sink into the furniture and have an extremely difficult time hoisting themselves up and out, even with help.

And ask him to give you the $40 to order it.

How many times are you going to ask people if they read your 49 one after another posts? YES, I DID! Your 700 pound friend isn't the only super morbidly obese person around. Notice my posts uses the word "most"????

He DID go visit much, as he was a pastor.
You guys on this thread are full of it. Most 600 plus pound people are semi-bed bound. They aren't out gallivanting around and visiting people. Are there exceptions, probably, but I ain't buying it for the most part. The images search below shows them in bed and in the hospital in a pic or two, but whatever, I'm done arguing about it cause I don't give a rip about it either way.

People think I'm being irrational when I say that getting fat is one of my biggest fears. I don't think I am. This thread is scary. Thinking about being morbidly obese is terrifying. And its real. So very real.

Well, I would post pictures but I do not want to invade his privacy, even though he is gone.

Seriously, he was a pastor, he was married twice (first wife died), and he visited his flock in the hospital, preached Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night, etc. He was a great person.

I'm not saying he was out running marathons, and he did spend a lot of his time when he was at home in the bed (or his huge recliner), but he did manage to have a fairly normal life.

I've known a lot of obese people (seems to be so many these days)....one was a hairdresser who cut my hair for a while...she got the stomach surgery but was still pretty large when the smoke cleared. Anyway, I've never known anyone who ever came close to my 700-lb friend, though...
