To think that 'some' morbidly obese people are in denial as to why they are morbidly obese?

Just watching Embarrassing Fat Bodies on Channel 4 right now and a bloke has just been into the mobile embarrassing bodies clinic, its in this Doncaster this week. He told Dr Christian that he only has to look at food and he puts weight on. Dr C then asked him what is his downfall, bloke said chocolate, Dr C asked him what kind of chocolate and the bloke showed with his hands a MASSIVE bar of chocolate and he eats one of those per night?!

Now is it just me or is some morbidly obese people are in denial about why they are so big?

My auntie used to be massive she weighed about 24st(my guessing could have been bigger, she used to get into my dads car and it would tilt to her side) she used to say she didnt know why she was big, but my dad said she sits there on a night and eat a packet biscuits with lots of sugar in her tea, cakes and buns.

Now i know this may cause some controversy but i just dont understand some people.

But what i am saying is the guy who i mentioned in my OP didnt. His words were i seem to just look at food and i put weight on. Dr asked what he eats? He said a BIG bar of chocolate, the dr said well stop eating that chocolate and the guy sid 'oh right yeah ok then' as if he didnt know WHY he was not loosing weight.

said not sid

YANBU. Most people would put on weight if they ate lots of chocolate as well as big meals. And most overweight people eat too much. But there have been lots of threads on here why people overeat - stress, depression and denial. That bloke was clearly in denial.

Before I lost weight I ate lots of ice cream - but on reflection I'd rather be slim and have ice cream as occasional treat.

Well of course they are, just like some thick people think they're clever and some ugly people think they're pretty. Denial is justa thing experianced by lots of people, no big deal surely? Yes it would be better ifthey didn't kid themselves but hey ho.
