When you're so fat that you can't walk straight and woddle back and forth sideways, and can't even stand up still for over a minute, so you have to ask me to use my chair so you can sit down to catch your breath because you just walked ten feet (and don't get up till it's time to leave the store), don't you feel weird about that? Don't you want to be able to walk around like your friends can? Don't you want to be able to run, if you had to? (from the police) Don't you want to be able to walk in a straight line? For those moments when you get pulled over and have to walk a straight line (if you can even fit behind the wheel).

How do you let yourself GO like that? Isn't there a point in your life where you say to yourself "Hey, I'm gaining a lot of weight" or "Hey I weight twice as much as I did last year" or "Wow my chin disappeared" ? Normal sized people don't eat bowls of butter, don't you realize that? Don't you look at yourself in the mirror when you get out of the shower? You didn't look like that when you were a young adult, so I KNOW YOU KNOW something is wrong.
