It takes years to pack on the pounds, especially if it's gotten itself above the 300 lb range.  Just imagine how many "I feel bad" days those were.  Such a lonely and pathetic life.  At some point in time, even the mirror is going to cringe, and I don't know why why the lardbeasts don't get that epiphany that "hey, I'm going to do something about this.  I need to feel something good about myself." Too lazy to stack the odds in their favor, I suppose.
