About being that big........OMG when I worked at St.Joe's in AA most of the patients on the floor were morbidly obese. It was nothing to have 400 lb patients that took 4 of us to roll over or move. Heaviest we had on the floor when I was there was in the 500 lb range. There are special beds to accomodate these people, lifts to move them. It was awful.

(140 lbs is not a typo) although they rarelly find a turmor that size, they have found them in other people, and remove them........so not all people who look fat is from eating some do have a medical cause..........
