I always wondered how do people who are too fat to move continue to gain weight when they can't make it to the refrigerator. You would think they would reach equilibrium at some point?

Co-dependence-- find someone who'll help you.

Look up some of the stories on the late Walter Hudson. He weighed something like 1400 lbs, and got a lot of publicity when guru Dick Gregory tried to help him lose weight (back in the 1980s IIRC). His entire family was involved in preparing and ferrying food to him in his bed, which he couldn't get out of (nor would he have gotten far if he had -- he couldn't fit through the bedroom door). When he died, they brought in heavy construction equipment to knock out an exterior wall of the house to get his body out. The poor guy obviously had some major head problems, but his family members must have been a good deal crazier than he was.
