My thoughts on this article may be very offensive to some....if you have a problem with it....refer to my very first blog for instructions.
OK this is just INSANE! I think there should be either A- Rules in Guinness Book of World Records that you cannot go against a doctors advice... because then what if she chooses to sue Guinness for giving her incentive to gain weight. or B- Laws against this kind of stuff perhaps impose an "obesity tax" against all those who are morbidly obese without medical reason. ok...admittedly that is a bit of an invasion of personal information but come on people!!
I am so disgusted that a MOM would TRY to be obese! Why does she not care about her child?? She can hardly walk as it is. As a mom of a child born in 2007 (just like her daughter) I could not imagine doing something that would shorten my time with her. What are people thinking to PAY this woman to eat and encourage it.....they should be charged with attempted manslaughter!! This is ridiculous, words cannot describe my absolute disgust at this.
To be obese while unacceptable there are at times excuses for it. (health, mental or IDK??) That only the obese person and their doctor would know. If you are obese and not under the care of a physician you should be....If your doctor advises you to diet and you don't know how ask for help there are dietitians and nutritionists that can help you. If there is no reason for your obesity FIX IT seriously, I know it's hard!! Just because I am blessed to be thin does not mean I eat whatever I want whenever I want and as much as I want. Nor that I do not know what it is like to try to lose a few pounds or maintain a current weight, it takes a lot of self control to say the least.
Parents of obese children are a whole nother story, aside from medical conditions and the "baby fat" phase that can last til age 2-3 (your doctor will let you know when/if your child may need a diet) parents should have consequences for allowing their child to become/stay obese. By allowing your child to consume all the food they want and not encouraging exercise or giving positive reinforcements to eat right and exercising through play. These parents are setting their children up for failure! If your child is obese when they become adults they will always have trouble keeping weight off it will be a constant battle for the rest of their lives and what kind of a life is that?!?! Even if you are used to eating a certain way and your child had a weight problem suck it up and remove the junk foods from your house, your child is worth it, are they not?? Children are known for their lack of self control, therefore as their parent it is YOUR JOB to set the meal plans and say no. Story about a girl who was obese.
Obesity is a growing trend and at this rate the movie "Wall-E"'s people really are not that farfetched. Sad reality!
It can be a real fight to lose weight. I really don't know what people are thinking these days.
