One form of mental illness that is prevalent on our society but goes largely undiagnosed as such is facilitating/enabling another person’s mental illness.

How’d you like to be a pallbearer for her?

I could handle it.

"All 30 pall bearers pulled their backs."

They should have used a very large John Deere tractor.

She’ll never have to buy two airline tickets again.

But, but, they tell us there is nothing wrong with being obese, that obese people are perfectly healthy. I hope to hell that if they decide to cremate her the mortuary has trained its staff on how to fight grease fires.👩‍🚒

How did she wipe?

There exist, as a manufactured item, poles with a "grabber" at one end to hold a wad of toilet paper. These devices are made for, among others, people like the subject of this article.

I am not convinced that these devices work particularly well, although they may be better than nothing.

And now you know ...

Since Pottain died of natural causes, there was no need for an autopsy.

Well, they could have flensed her at least. Probably be able to try a few barrels of oil out of the blubber.

Prior to COVID, I weighed 130 lbs. I was a 5’8” tall woman in her late 50’s who was constantly active. My dress size was a 6 or 8.

After COVID (which wrecked my lungs, neurological system, and digestive system), I was diagnosed with POTS, COPD, and novel seizures. My activity level dropped to barely moving. Even normal levels of activity were exhausting and could trigger a seizure. The worst was when I had one at the top of the stairs; I banged up my ribs, neck, and back badly before my son stopped my fall.

Despite no change in my calorie intake, I started packing on weight. I got up to 175 lbs.

I was disgusted with myself. I aged overnight.

I cut my calories down to half and have been slowly losing the weight. I’m down to 150 lbs. Twenty more to go.

Part of the issue is what you eat, part is how much you eat, and part is how you use what you eat.

This was a lifetime of being heavy, probably from childhood. The people around her didn’t love her; they infantalized her.

This “Beauty” weighs more than five times what I weigh.

I can’t even imagine how she gained all that weight. Must have eaten candy 24/7 for decades.

Dead now, of course. Too bad, so sad.

In the town where I was a child, Clayton NM, there was a fat man who often sat on the street benches in 1950. I still remember talking to him. When he died they used a crane to place the coffin in the ground.

How awful. Glad your son stopped your fall.

I had no idea how damaging covid could be. Prayers for your full recovery. Those size six and 8 dresses will look good on you again.

I’m never hungry. Only eat a late breakfast and late dinner, can’t imagine cramming in another meal. Weigh 116. My mom was like that too.

No matter what the side effects may be, she would have greatly benefited from a prescription for Ozempic.

I stayed between 118 and 122 lbs. most of my adult life. After 3 children, my normal weight was 130. I did manage to get back down to 122 lbs. at age 44, but it was too hard giving up things I enjoyed eating. My husband thought I looked attractive at either weight, so I settled in at 130 and ate healthy with the occasional cheat.

My sister battled weight issues her entire life. It was not how much or her activity level (not stuffing her face and very active), it was what she ate.

We both carry a recessive gene that impacts our body’s ability to process certain foods. I stayed away from those naturally (parents complained I was a picky eater) but my sister did not. Made all the difference in the trajectory of our lives.
