I am sorry that your son has a disability but using the word "fat" can be hurtful to people who are overweight.The reason a lot of people are overweight comes from something deeper than just eating because it's there.It's an excape goat like alcohol or smoking or drugs.That's not a good thing but it happens.It could be that person suffered rape,parent neglect or some kind of emotional distress.
When you see a overweight person parking in a handicap place, don't assume.They may have a medical condition that makes them gain weight for no apparent reason like my uncle who is a vegetarin that can gain 15lbs in one week.
So what I am trying to say is worry about your own problems and quit blaming your anger when you dont know the whole story.Dont judge as it says in the bible and listen to people's feelings and then you will understand as I did to you.Best wishes to your son..

First let me say that I’m very sorry to here about your son’s disability and I wish him all the best. But whether you like it or not, some fat people are disabled by their weight and require handicap parking. My husband and I are both such people we have been obese all our lives and have tried everything short of surgery to change this. But nothing has worked for us and believe me we have tried everything from diets and exercise to medication. What people like you don’t understand is that life for super sized people is extremely hard. Just the day too day things that normal sized people take for granted can be all but impossible for us. Now you may say that we are victims of our own gluttony and that we don’t deserve special treatment and you would probably in most cases be right. But when you stop and think about it, are we any different than other individuals who permanently injure themselves by doing other self-destructive activities. I guess what I’m trying to say for example is would you be just as angry at people who use handicapped parking if they were paralyzed due to their own reckless driving? Maybe you just want to take your frustrations out on us fatties because we are a more obvious target.
Also just let me clue you in on a little known secret. Contrary to popular belief the majority of fat people don’t want to be fat and would lose weight and keep it off if they could. Many like my husband and I don’t have much of a choice in the matter. After years of dietary failures and false hope our only choices are surgery or slow painful death. But in our cases, because of our size and co-morbidities, surgery is not an option. So we must just muddle through and exist the best we can and if that means using handicapped parking spaces, then so be it. So have a little compassion for us super sized people. Because, all people have their weaknesses, ours are just more visible.

It's very simple. To gain weight you have to take in heat energy (calories). I think it's around 3500 calories/ lb fat. It drives me crazy when people say they eat almost nothing and gain weight. It doesn’t work that way. If stories like this were true and fat people created energy, we wouldn’t have to pay 2.50 for gas. Here's a tip. Eat less exercise more.

Fat People are just lazy. I mean how do you think they got fat in the first place. I do! Sitting on the couch and eating doritos and watching Richard Simmons and crying with him about being a lard ass. They should not be allowed to hold up traffic in the parking lot to get a front row seat and knock out the chance of that spot being used for someone who cant walk.
Best wishes to your son.

Hello, my name is Bill, and iam a fat person.If someone would have told me, 20 years ago, that i would wiegh over 300 pounds,i would have told them that they were crazy.But now,i dont think that.I have a eating disorder, i dont really know what type.I find myself getting up early in the morning just to be able to make myself something to eat,and while iam cooking ,iam ever so quite as not to make any noise so nobody knows what iam doing.Iam always eating when people are gone ,i dont like people to watch me eat,and i eat when iam not hungry. I even have ate other peoples disgaurded food out of the trash.I look at myself in the mirror and hate what i see,i used to be so outgoing,active and full of energy,and yes, thin.I guess i must have some kind of deathwish.Between both of my parents and our family history,Iam a target for heart disease,diabeates,hypertension and early death due to stress and stroke. so why do i continue to stuff myself?, i do'nt know. My life is'nt all that bad either ,i have not married,but still i have family that i love very much,i have really cool friends,and a fair relationship with women,even though its been a long time since i have been intamate with a lady.I have tried diets, i have tried the wieght loss in a bottle,and i excersise all the time, why cant i stop over eating i know its killing me ,i know its bad on my heart,being fat ,i know that if i cant take control soon iam a dead man,because face it i aint getting any younger, and the clocks tickin,tic...toc...tic...toc...

I completely agree with you. I used to weigh 350 pounds..now on a person of my height 6'8 its not so obvious but it was still there and i had a belly. IT WAS COMPLETELY MY FAULT! There is no excuse for being fat. You didnt excersise I know you didnt because if you did you wouldnt be fat. You kept making unhealthy choices. You would excersise for short periods of time and expect to lose huge amounts of weight. You would buy excersise equipment that is only designed to make skinny people build thier abs..that doesnt work on fat people! You have your abs but you are too fat for them to be visible. Here are some real tips if you want to lose weight. WATER IS YOUR FRIEND! I dont even know how many people have told you all this but you dont listen. Stop drinking soda, beer and even most juices. These arent helping your problem. DO NOT EAT OUT! If you have to eat out order a salad or something..even fast food joints have them now and no that doesnt mean order a salad with 2 pounds of bacon bits or a gallon of ranch dressing. JUST BECAUSE IT SAYS "FAT FREE" DOESNT MEAN YOU SHOULD EAT EXTRA! It might say "fat free" but that doesnt mean its calorie free. Make healthy decisions and really consider what you need to do. Losing weight is not a decision. It is a total lifestyle makeover. Take it from me that went from 57 percent body fat and 350+ pounds to 9 percent body fat and 270 pounds of pure muscle.

AMEN BROTHER!!!! LISTEN TO HIM MAN!

I am fat. Right now I am about a size 18/20. And guess who's fault it is? Mine! I have routinely made other aspects of my life more important than my health and well being. I used to drink soda like it was going out of style. When I was managing a restaurant I would munch on breadsticks and french fries all day long. I know a lot of people who are overweight and coplain that they 'tried' to lose weight, but it didn't work so they gave up. Give up? Never. I have been fighting my weight for a while now and I will keep fighting until I win. This seems harsh, but if I was ever so big that I couldn't get around and was considered disabled, I would roll myself off the bridge into the Ohio river! And weightloss surgery is a joke. So many people have gotten the surgery, lost weight, only to put it back on again, because they didn't change anything about their life. If you are overweight, to lose weight you must change your LIFE. You cannot just go on a diet for a few months than go back to eating bacon and mayo sandwiches washed done with a jug of chocolate milk! Vent over.
