What are all of those straps to? I see one that I think goes to the water bottle on the left of the photo, one that goes for the subgut pack she’s digging into, but then what’s the thing on the right? Is that some sort of pinwheel?
Secondly, if she shifted the subgut pack to the other side, does that mean that her actual subgut would also then shift over, such that more of it would hang on the right side of the picture instead of the left? Or do you think she just naturally has more subgut on one side?
Lastly, what is the white line that appears to connect her ice cream treat and her subgut pack? Anybody have any guesses on that?
Morbid obesity is fascinating.
The third strap is to her portable fan (probably a misting one, too) for when she gets too hot. That way she can blow her funk onto the person sitting behind her. And ya KNOW she’s funky – those arms aren’t long enough to reach under the subgut in the shower.
The white line is her tracheotomy hole, so she doesn’t suffocate herself when she falls asleep on the bus ride home from the daily KFC/Arby’s/McDonald’s meal-a-thon. Sundays is the Chinese buffet special.
First off, the line you mention that seems to connect the ice cream to the pack is, I believe just the multi-colored wrapper she has around the stick. It’s just the angle that makes it look a little strange. I’m amazed at this photo though, it is so rare. What are the chances to actually catch someone like this in the act of eating.
Oh, and the third strap in question I’m guessing is to one of those soft sided coolers so she does not get too far away from her next snack. Boy she beat the sh– out of anorexia didn’t she.
It looks like there’s a full adult in a fetal position inside her subgut… the legs are kneeling kind of on her right leg, hence the uneven look.
There’s something about seeing an un-skinny person eat that takes my appetite away. Maybe I should print this and put it on my fridge!
I am personally related to people that look and eat like this. Sad, very sad. To watch one of these creatures eat can make you go on a diet, run a mile, and see a heart specialist just for safety.
All the straps hold things close because she won’t over exert herself finding what she needs. She must be at Disney World/Land because the ice cream once had ears which have been consumed.
Does anyone else find it just as revolting to see an overly anorexic person as seeing someone so obese? Total opposite things, but both very disgusting.
My mother-in-law has almost the exact same subgut that she has, only my mother-in-law’s is much more pronounced. She has these little skinny legs, and she’s as round as she is tall – she looks like a Weeble when she’s standing! I’m worried that she won’t make it another 10 years. Yes, I’m one of those weird people that adores her in-laws! Yes, sbarros, I also think seeing an overly anorexic person is sickeningl.
This picture makes me think there really is a market for feedbags for humans.
I’m torn between feeling sorry for this woman and yelling, “Will you LOOK at yourself?!” WHERE do these people find their clothing, and don’t they have any loved ones to tell them, “Please don’t wear that”? Granted, there’s not a whole lot she could wear, other than a muu-muu, that would cover her bulges, but hasn’t anyone told her about modesty? It’s not just for sexy people! I don’t want some woman’s bulging labia in my face, anymore than I want siliconed boobs in my face.
Yuck. Just yuck.
Sorry, can’t mock this woman. She looks miserable and uncomfortable and I can’t imagine how awful it must be to have to haul around all that extra weight. Dontcha have any averagely fat people in ugly outfits to mock instead?? (although I did love Mr. Phallato Head from earlier)
The thing is – no one gets to look like this overnight. This is a process. A long process. Forget the person to tell her the outfit doesn’t look good. She has no one to tell her to put down the ice cream?
I had an obese relative ridicule me last week for eating TOO SMALL of a piece of cake at a birthday party. How do you politely respond to that at a family gathering?
You laugh.
Jennifer – you stop, turn horrified eyes on the person, and whisper with an incredulous look “But you know what happens to me with that much sugar! How can you suggest such a thing?” Then burst into tears and run from the room before your ‘tears’ become the giggles.
I think she has a Chinese gymnast in there……
SnarkeyBritches, you’re right. But I speak from experience when I say it’s a lot easier, and more productive, to tell a person, “Don’t wear that, wear this instead” than to tell them “Don’t eat that.”
Fat people know they’re fat.
Then they ought to dress as if they know they’re fat. There’s no excuse for this — they may be fat, but that’s no reason to throw out all their dignity and modesty.
Seriously????
Morbid obesity/Dignity/Modesty
Does not compute!
