There's no way someone that big can walk continuously for more than a few yards. She might not even be able to stand up in her current state.

She needs hospital, special kit to even get her up on her feet in the first place, and then lots and lots and LOTS of very gentle and careful exercise, building up gradually as she gets stronger and slimmer.

Presumably being a fatty would mean swimming is a good idea?




Although having written that I feel the urge to post the 'Harpoons; man them!' Unmotivational poster.

Yup, swimming definitely a good idea - buoyancy helps with mobility problems and lets her (everyone) exercise without putting strain on joints. But. I suspect for a young girl with such obvious, catastrophic self-esteem issues, unless you could guarantee her not having to interact with another human while in the pool I don't think she'd feel safe to do it - and with good reason, looking at some of the comments on here. One "'ere, Fred, look at the size of THAT" and the whole thing would be screwed. Being in swimming gear makes anyone feel vulnerable about their body, let alone those whose bodies are generally regarded as comment-worthy by others.

I'll never go in a pool again for related issues around having a 'different' shaped body (am disabled and have a permanent 'in' tube and an 'out' tube) - I'm already openly discussed as if I were an unusual car rather than a human, can't even imagine how much worse it'd be with more of my body on display, even in trunks and a t-shirt.

Hopefully there will be a hydrotherapy pool she can use in the hospital with the support of a physiotherapist, to start sorting her out. God knows she needs it - such a shocking waste of such a young life.

better britain's fattest teenager than second fattest, at least you've acheived something

As an aside, with remarks like " ‘Some people choose heroin but I’ve chosen food and it’s killing me.’"

Given heroin is relatively harmless, apart from the addictiveness*, why not give her it on the NHS and see if she prefers it?




*If this sounds a ridiculous statement do yer research, it's true

[Somewhatfoolish]

also, who makes clothes for people that big? presumably they have to be basically hand made, so how does someone on benefits afford them? are there NHS prescriptions?

No, no prescriptions. There are some online companies which specialise in clothing sized for people like this lass, but it's still very expensive. Is just one of many extra costs that add up to keep the poorest and most fked-up people right at the bottom. Similarly, people her size can't possibly cook - she might not even be able to stand - so it's going to be whatever mum (who obviously has Issues of her own) feeds her, or buying her own ready meals.. which are expensive, especially the ones that aren't jam-packed with fat and salt.

Same problem for anyone with unconventional body shape eg. most folk with dwarfism aren't just small but have totally different body proportions so even kid sized clothes don't fit properly.

Can be quite a big (pun intended) issue.

Between the obvious, serious mental health issues this poor kid has, I can pretty much guarantee that poverty will also be a problem.

You don't often hear about 40-plus stone company directors...

[Somewhatfoolish]

I am large in all dimensions (especially girth)*, I am aware of difficulties buying clothing, but when you're her size then the production line is going to make one garment. In effect everything would have to be tailored to her...

suppose if she's bed bound it isn't really an issue

*and like everyone on PH, also a company director

I suspect her body is quite healthy underneath...hence its extreme reaction to the crap she keeps putting in it. Note how she slimmed down when on a proper diet and exercise regimen. If only someone could be there for her, to help her with a proper diet and to support her mentally.

According to the Sun she has diabetes, respiratory failure, spinal problems and kidney failure,

I don't think any of them are a surprise, rescue cost approx £100k - how much more will be spent on her.,,?

Do you think it's better to let her die then?

Luckily there's a very close analogy involving whales which continuously strand themselves on the beach. At the end of the day they are sick and no matter what you do to help nothing will prevent the inevitable. All you can do is make them more comfortable.

If she is capable of helping herself, then fine, help her help herself. At the end of he day, no one is putting the food in her mouth for her.

She'll be like foie gras!

The fat will be squashing organs, lungs, diaphragm, hard to breathe. Organ failure on the horizon.

Quite. Have you seen that programme with Rich Hammond and the fat man from the Midlands? His body works overtime to cope with his huge binge eating. It stretches what the human body is capable of.
