Nope. It's been proven that certain people have a predisposition to extraordinary weight gain. That's why you see entire family trees with a weight issue. Can they manage the issue with diet and exercise? Sometimes ... but not always. A friend of mine at work recently found out he had a thyroid issue. He asked his mom if anybody else in the family had the issue. Her mom and siblings were tested and they ALL had the same problem. Family history is the root of all evil my friend.

Not all the time every time. Sorry.

Thyroids don't cause weight gain. They can effect metabolism. Bottom line is if you consume more energy than you expend you will gain weight. If youre lazy you need to eat less. If you're active you can eat more. If you're getting fat.... You're eating too damn much food

So, you're claiming that your friend's thyroid manufactures calories?

Being fat is a choice. All the time. Every time.

I feel he could do more to control his weight, but he doesn't deserve to get picked on just because he's obese and runs the ball. If he's doing a good job of what's being asked of him then there's no reason to hate on him.

His friend's thyroid doesn't properly handle metabolism. Being fat is all about chemistry. Metabolsm is how fast can your body do the chemical reaction to breakdown fats. Less metabolism, the more likely you'll be fat. Hypothyroidism makes problems with the body being able to breakdown fats because of a slowering metabolism. Fat people have their metabolism speed up as they lose weight.

I'm very aware of how the thyroid works. It can not manufacture calories. Calories must be consumed. 100% of the time.

Do you know why fat people always sweat? They have a FASTER metabolism than skinny folks. Their body is burning calories rapidly to try and stay alive.

Being fat is a choice. Every time. All the time.

Guys, who cares. Fat people are in the world, Tony is, but he's doing what he loves. Get over you're fat people phobia and be happy for someone who even with a disability (whether it is self-induced or not) is doing what he loves. Maybe football is a way to help him lose weight, but if not who cares? It's his life, not VNs.

Wow. There are some terribly uninformed, crude opinions on this subject. I'm not talking about weight increase in the general population. I get that.

I could dig deeper into the reasons some obese people -- not all -- have a medical predisposition to weight gain. But it's clear many of you know you're right. No reason to move forward.

Can't reason with unreasonable people. SMH
