    Is it even physically possible to be that fat? Googling…

    … I have returned and yes it is. It is not a place of honour. No great deeds are recorded here. It is a place of badness.

    My wife is obgyn and we move to a region that’s famous for good meat, so she’s having an increase in fat patients, which is an absolute pain in the ass for her. But even so, I don’t think she’s ever had anything above a 100kg. This shit is just unimaginable, hahaha!

    OP’s patient guesstimate is probably the value they saw the last time they could actually step on a balance.

        I checked with her and her biggest patient -a pregnant patient- was 120kg. I can’t speak for the rest of Europe (UK / Ireland has been pretty bad in recent years) but anything above 100kg is fuckhuge, in France. Either you’re built like a Space Marine, or you’re some sort of fatass, pretty much.

      Good point. Plenty of people on My 600 Pound Life are literally incapable of crossing such daunting obstacles as the height of a scale or the threshold of a door.

        Well if would have to carry 300kg every step, I also wouldn’t be able to cross any obstacles…

    It’s just struck me, I rarely see hyper-obese people anymore in my area of the US. Obese, definitely. Morbidly obese? Absolutely. Indigent due to weight? Haven’t seen them in a while.

    I just wish the government weren’t on fire so that I could see whether that is the result of a trend or just random chance
