Saw a new thread on KF and got inspired.
Do you have any stories of seeing deathfats IRL? Family, friends, professors, coworkers, strangers?
Did they live up to the expectations of retardation or were they nice?
Do you see deathfats often? How old were you when you first saw a deathfat?(duplicate thread)

I'll go first. I'm a eurofag and deathfats aren't exactly run of the mill here. I saw one guy a couple times where I used to live a few years ago, taking the same bus at the exact same stop every time.
He was huge. Probably 500 pounds. extremely repulsive looking as all his clothes were too small, his gunt and ass spilling out. He was sweaty, had stains all over (am I talking about his clothes or his skin? the answer is yes).
He walked with difficulty, thought I can't recall a walker or a cane being involved. Seemed like one of his deformed legs could give out at any time.
I never spoke to him and I never saw him with anyone else but he was truly shocking to witness, especially near a college campus where everyone else was at half his size at the largest.

Another Eurofag, I've never met a deathfat irl, but my favourite boss ever was obese, he had a huge belly like a woman about to give birth. He always wore belts that would cut into his stomach so much that it divided it into 2 stomachs. It looked so painful to me, I always wondered how does he endure it, how is it possible that he's always smiling and laughing with that thing painfully squeezing him. He once fell though a plastic neon company logo embedded into the floor because he was so fat it gave in, I wrote about it on lolcow before. Luckily, he wasn't hurt. Great dude, even better boss.

I also once had an obese cleaning lady. She was too fat to bend over and too fat to climb, so she only cleaned the middle part of the apartment. At first I employed her to cook for me too, but all food she made was too greasy for me. It turned out my pets adored her, so I started employing her as a brilliant pet-sitter instead of as a lousy cleaner and cook. Very interesting character, also a pleasant person.

A lot of students at my college were overweight and a few were obese. This was in the Southern US. We were taking a bus to go to some event, and this one girl visibly struggled to actually step on to the bus because she was so fat and the gap was too big for her to reach I guess. Another girl was also huge and very autistic. She kneeled down on the ground for a class picture and needed the professor to help her get back up. She would hover around me and track me down in the cafeteria. Idk I feel bad for them but also feel like an asshole for thinking they're pitiful. There were so many stairs on our campus and they all struggled.

EUfags represent, and yeah, seeing something like those scooter-users from american supermarkets is not something you'll see around here.
I remember seeing a woman on the bus who easily took up 2 seats alone, it was in the summer too, and she was wearing a simple white T and it was fucking stained yellow over every roll. She was probably the fattest person I've seen IRL, she kept breathing as if she was in labor. It was disgusting enough to burn into my memory, even though I've only seen her once.
The second fattest person was my uni computer science prof (for natural sciences majors), who always wore a white T-shirt with plain jeans, and had the greasiest face and hair ever. I think she might have been genuinely autistic or something. Looked like a female neckbeard and smelled bad, but she was a kind person. Her menstrual blood colored all of her fupa red during class one day, and she couldn't see it because of her massive tits and belly. It was terrifying, and being awkward 18 year-olds, we just shut up and tried not to stare, because we had no idea what to do.

What qualifies someone as deathfat?

No. 715306

Still a Eurofag, I was working with one in my first job when I was a student. It was in a big store and we didn't have the same shift so I never got to talk to her but I always recognized her from afar. She was always sweating and walking slowly, and it's a miracle she had a uniform her size.

In my next job I also had an obese coworker. She looked ok in her pictures on linkedin so when I met her soon after I was done training and she came back from her holidays I was shocked to see she weighted more or less 100kg. She was also way more pig faced irl and because of her weight she couldn't even walk properly, her legs were bent in a weird way. She seemed like an ok person at first but she treated people like she was superior to them for some reason so I didn't really like her. She was always pissed when people legit thought she was in her late 30s or her 40s despite being "just" 26 years old, so she was coping by pretending she took as a compliment about her maturity. I was 25 at the time and we talked with the whole team about the influence of the internet nowadays and when I said I was surprised she only got an internet connection at home when she was 15 because I had one when I was 6 or 7 years old she snapped and told me to shut up because we're not the same age so it's not even comparable. I was so shocked she couldn't even remember I age I awkwardly said I was almost her age so she's the one who should shut up and the whole room went silent, it was embarrassing. I finished my internship and the whole company was nuts so I just graduated and she left for another job somewhere else after getting married, no idea what she's doing now but she's still abusing the myspace angle for her linkedin.

This reminds me of a deathfat in my high school art class who would draw her self portraits in a very flattering way/took way too many artistic liberties. She also acted superior, called me by a name she made up instead of my real one, and was an asshole in general. Some of them act very high and mighty to overcompensate for their appearance or insecurity.

Latamfag here, my parents hired a really obese woman to clean the house and such, it was mostly to help my grandma who just wants to spend the day doing chores and won’t take a “Maybe don’t” as a suggestion without getting depressed.
The woman was so big that she couldn’t fit in the bathroom we have for the maid to change her clothes and shower, being the shower even smaller, the woman broke one of the glass doors.
I didn’t like her because she stole a bunch of shit and was nosy as fuck, she also ate a lot and my grandmother would enable her even though my mother was constantly trying to make sure everyone was having the same portions of food, which are normal, nothing too fancy and no seconds because who the fuck can have seconds of anything other than salad?
She was also constantly trying to eat food from the cabinets and sneaking food to take home because our stuff is from the US, like nuts and dried fruits.
We usually tell them that if they need anything, they just have to ask and we will give them whatever they want, and her being sneaky was really upsetting, like we’re willing to order stuff for you and yet here you are being such a fatass that you can’t even wait for a month or two to get them.
Even my dog didn’t like her, he was constantly avoiding her and such.
She wasn’t also exactly great at cleaning up, she was lazy as fuck, hell, my grandmother with back issues had more mobility than her and was able to get stuff done quicker.
We fired her after she stole a kilo of sugar.

It's not really an official category in itself, but I'd assume anyone above like class II obesity. For me it's the type of obese whose gait is completely fucked, they can't even walk straight because of their massive thighs and their poor knees and ankles twisting in fucked up directions because of all the pressure. You can even see the true bedbound "deathfats", for obvious reasons.

Eurofag here. Only deathfat I've seen ever was a woman at the bus stop who took up almost an entire bench. When the bus came, she couldn't get up again. Her legs were severely swollen and I mostly remember just how purple the skin on her calves were.

Me and another person helped her get up. She was very friendly and apologized, which I thought was sad. It takes a lot to get to that size, so I can only imagine what kind of mental or physical problems she had. Hope she's getting the help she need, because she looked like she was in so much pain.

I believe deathfat is morbid obesity/bmi of 40+ or heavier. For comparison, overweight starts at bmi 25 and 'regular' obesity starts at 30.

i was just thinking about the epidemy that is HAES/body positivity. i hate seeing those fucking "OverXXXKgAndHappy" hashtags. the mix of narcissism and misinformation regarding health issues linked to obesity as well as the lies regarding their own diets is too much.

Extremely obese man at my church, he was so kind and funny,he had a massive family (LDS so it makes sense), they moved in from America and stayed to help with the church for a bit I'm not really sure of the context. Anyway, he never stood up, he sweat a lot and wore shirts without blazers so it was very obvious- smelt quite bad.. but he was so fucking funny and caring, he taught Sunday school and was so nice.

Anyway, his family moved back to America after a couple years in the UK and he had a heart attack on the plane back and passed away. Really fucked.

I agree, and I dont mean just 500 pds obesity, I mean 200 pds obesity too. They should also ban addictive foods with too much additives and impose taxes or heavily restrict things that serve too much portions

No addict will get clean unless they want to, and that goes for food addicts too. Mandated rehab is useless. Focus should be on prevention.

There should be way more focus on what's rational portioning and calorie values are. I was also on my way to 200lbs/90kg just because my dad always served me the same portion sizes as he did for himself, who was an overweight man. Some of the overweight people I know are convinced they eat the same amount as their 65kg friends, and their metabolism is just bad, because this is a commonly accepted myth around here. My dad also used to say that "our family's genetics are this way, we get fat even from oxygen", while the reality is that we were overeating.

Yeah, I have a very passionate hatred of HAES/body positivity. I was barely in the obese range, but still was very heavily physically impacted by my weight in numerous ways. Low stamina, chronic lethargy, chafing, difficulty putting socks and shoes on, pain from my body contorting in ways it wasn't supposed to (for example- lying on my back gave me back pain because my ass was so massive that my lower back hovered somewhat over the bed), the list goes on. And I was only 28 at the time. So, the idea that there's an entire social movement dedicated to insisting that you can be healthy at any weight absolutely enrages and horrifies me.

It's also incredibly terrible that they spew this total falsity that these body types are just natural and there's nothing you can do to change them. I've seen first hand how little people who buy into that shit understand nutrition. They'll eat 2000 calorie fast food-tier meals 3 time a day, barely leave their couch, then say this is just their body type and there's nothing they can do to change it. Like, this isn't even an exaggeration, this is literally the lifestyle of every "body positive" person I've ever known.

Another Eurofag. The biggest person I know has a BMI of 43, though she doesn’t have any health conditions except for vitamin deficiencies (that’s how bad her diet is). Being overweight/obese is common enough here but deathfats are a rare sight in my experience. A few months ago I saw a couple deathfats getting on the train and was shocked by their fupas/gunts. Stomachs almost down to their knees yet still really round. Felt weird because I normally only see people that big online or in documentaries.

this reminds me i made my first genuinely huge friend a couple of years ago, and while she never talked much about weight, i think deep down she was convinced she ate more or less the same as the rest of us.

for months, she got intense, persistent stomach pain because of anxiety. once she had removed the cause of anxiety it went away and she started eating more… said she was so excited to "eat well".
however, most of those scrumptious meals were convenience store garbage. tons of carbs, bags full of terrible quality bread/pastries, mediocre microwave meals that were the same price as the cheapest (yet delicious) food in the neighborhood. lots of bad chain restaurants like mcdonalds and some shit italian too.

she really saw herself as some kind of "foodie" when she was constantly eating copious amounts of the worst version of everything.
i wouldn't be surprised if she either 1) just quietly keeps gaining weight until she's officially death fat or 2) adds HAES/bo-po to her laundry list of instagram activism.

Basically an article by a butthurt fatty screaming DISCRIMINATION because her gyno told her losing weight should help with her prolonged periods. Goes on to sperg about how the fact doctors say obesity is one of the greatest health risks to America is also DISCRIMINATION. Suggests fellow fatties seek quack doctors who don't acknowledge obesity as a health issue to avoid what they don't want to hear.

I mean that one story about the young woman dying from a heart attack because the doctor didn't check her lungs is pretty grim. But you'd think reading stories like this, and realizing that doctors will have a hard problem distinguishing between your symptoms of real medical emergencies and simple obesity is another good reason to lose weight ASAP.

My high school's vice principal was probably what you'd consider a deathfat. She was a good teacher and vice principal (she basically ran the school by herself since the principal was never there and the other vice principal didn't give a shit), but she was also really rude and short-tempered and and prone to outbursts against students for apparently no reason, probably out of stress. Apparently she was really rude and authoritarian with the other teachers too. She died of a heart attack two years ago, two months after I graduated. She was in her early to mid 50s
