I don’t know if if starts out that way. But after you get so huge I think it must be an addiction & a mental problem. I know if I put on my jeans & they are tight then I know I better cut back on eating & look at what I am eating.

You're right. A single pound and it's a no-food weekend for me. Which, I'm sure, is why there are many more house-bound, super-morbidily obese men than women.

But the mental illness I was referring to was the enablers. These Moms who think feeding equates to love and the more you feed your precious, the more you must love him apparently even if it kills him.
