Off-Topic Deathfat Encounters IRL - This thread is not your personal army.

This might not be true at all, especially nowadays, but I have a personal reputation with the position of "school office secretary" going to the super-fucked-up.

I know two people who went straight through college and grad school, became professors for a year or so..... and immediately had a mental breakdown due to life circumstances. Divorce in one case, suicide of a child in the other. So despite being a bigshot Honor's double-major in Master's Psychology and Education, they're the office lady at Podunk Elementary.

I knew a guy secretary who was also supermorbidly obese, to the point where you just looked at this guy and felt like he was going to have a heart attack any second. He was at the point of struggling to be mobile. They put him on some sort of short-term disability for severe depression, and then covid happened so he was a remote worker, but I never saw him again and I'm pretty sure he actually lucked out and just found a remote job that paid a lot better- he was really highly educated, just physically a wreck. It was pretty amazing that he had been coming to work and doing work at all: this guy looked like he belonged in a hospital bed dying.

So maybe it is that "office person at school" is a really good position to have if you're supermorbidly obese- not much walking, pretty chill, and you can kinda pretend you're putting that 6 years of college in Education to use, even though you've become too fat too teach. "Secretary ass" is a turn of phrase for a reason.
 
Yes, morbid obesity is mostly prevenient in the US and similar countries. And obesity is on the rise everywhere. I live in a state where the obesity rate is low, but there are still overweight people. Get off your high horse.
Prevenient would be a great word if it were one, something ready for you before you even need it, but you meant prevalent. Sorry this had to be postvenient.

Before the low fat movement in the 80s there were nearly any fats anywhere but when big sugar (lol) jumped in, it got people everywhere all over the world.

They dump sugar in the low fat stuff because it supposedly 'makes up' for all of the fat they took out, or it would taste like cardboard.

Unfortunately some people took 'low fat' as permission for 'go nuts and binge on it, it's low fat!' And all of that extra added sugar didn't help things either because it would spike blood sugar (making one hungry later and prone to overeating) unlike the previously 'bad' fats.
 
Back in middle school, one of the office ladies definitely had some sort of extreme lymphedema and/or lipodema. I felt sort of bad for her in that akward, disgusted way because everyone constantly stared. She was obese but her ass was supermega My 600lbs Life obese. Like, she had to turn sideways a little bit to get through an office door. I highly suspect she used to be 600+ lbs, and lost some weight but had hit that point where she'd fucked her whole body up.

Like stage 3 in this. NSFL don't say I didn't warn you.

I always wondered how she, like, sat down, and one day I finally saw her office, and she had a chair-and-a-half in there.

Her giant nightmare-inducing ass wasn't solid, is the thing. When she walked it looked like a jello mold in an earthquake. It made noises.

If you hadn't said middle school, I was wondering whether we'd shared a school in common!

The head secretary of my elementary school also suffered from stage 3 ass lymphedema, and this was back in the 80s when such persons were very uncommon. She had a special double wide office chair, and could only wear giant skirts with elastic waist bands. I'd nearly forgotten all about her!

I don't recall if she smelled or anything, but it's not like I spent a lot of time in the school office. She was shocking to see, such that being startled at seeing her was inevitably met with a sharp parental elbow and a hissed reminder that it was rude to stare.
You just dusted off a long-forgotten memory. A teacher at one of the other high schools in my hometown had this body type. I participated in an after-school activity she coached for her school, so I'd run into her regularly and our groups would often eat dinner together at a restaurant. On several occasions, I witnessed her either getting wedged in or being completely unable to fit into a booth at a fast food restaurant. She had to pull up two chairs at the end of a table and perch on them like Humpty Dumpty.

This was like 25 years ago, and at the time, she was by far the fattest person I'd ever seen in real life. Considering how skewed our perceptions have become, I sometimes wonder if she'd still look shockingly fat to me if I saw her today.
 
Damn. I too had a teacher like that in my middle school. She was so wide in the middle that I think a hula hoop would have gotten stuck on her. Her upper half wasn't massive but the waistline was planetary. She was a special Ed teacher as well as the mom of one of the B-tier popular girls. I always wonder how it made that girl feel to have a mom that huge walking around all her friends.

There was also a male teacher shaped like this, but not QUITE as wide.

My junior high band teacher had the roundest fupa I've ever seen. It wasn't the biggest, but in terms of projection, it was impressive. There was almost no overhang to it. She kept it stuffed into her late 1990s mom jeans.

The memories are flooding back. There was also the time my friend made a Geocities website to make fun of one of our teachers. Among his accusations was that she wore "tent-like dresses to conceal her bulk". He further claimed that because she was so fat, when she walked, the cosmos whispered, "Wag-bagga, sag-bagga".

That one ended badly.
 
A deathfat wreaked havoc at a supermarket while I was shopping this morning. An employee was in the boxed lettuce aisle (it is a very narrow aisle. Two carriages can get through it, but they would probably touch each other while passing).
Death fat came barrel-assing down that aisle (needless to say, she didn’t select anything there. She was using it as a shortcut). The employee had to jump out of the path of the scootypuff. This put the poor woman (employee) right in the path of a produce guy rolling a cart piled high with boxes. He couldn’t see over his load (dumb move dude) and knocked the other employee into the cooler with the salads. She was clearly pissed off and upset. I think she was hurt. I got the hell out of there to let her coworkers help her.

Scooty-doo was long gone. If the employee is badly hurt, I guess worker’s compensation would apply.

“How’d you get hurt at work?” This woman will surely have a great story to tell.

It will only help her pay wise if she’s a permanent employee with contracted hours, which is often not the case in supermarkets. What you get from worker’s compensation makes it rarely worth the pain suffering and inconvenience. The supermarket will be up for the medical costs. Dude with the cage will be in shit, because those aren’t supposed to be loaded above line of sight.

It’s a “union shop.” I only know that because they have a sticker on the door that proudly states it. Not going to get all 🗿, but hopefully if she is hurt the union will help her 🌈 If OSHA (they investigate work accidents in the U.S.) comes in, I definitely agree that the flatbed cart guy is going to find himself in a mess. Once again the union should come to his defense.
 
I’m on a resort vacation this week and while there are always fatasses at every resort, there is a quartet of absolute MEGA deathfats here together. Can you imagine being on that flight?

Also, they spend their entire day (outside of buffet hours, naturally) sitting in the kids end of the pool (zero entry, no effort) and aggressively hitting on the male staff. A true spectacle.
 
I live in a notoriously overweight area. Everyone is fat here. I work in various locations outdoors at misc. events. I go to one city frequently where it is basically a college town, a little area full of 18-23s all very progressive, very Gen Z type style.

Well a popular outfit in this group is a one piece romper combined with a shaved head. Nothing against either really, but everyone is so fleshy and huge walking around that I regularly see massive FUPAs forcing open the wide leg of the booty short portion of the romper, allowing a gaping view of gut overhang on the top of the legs, basically the stomach hanging lower than the leg of the shorts. And they just walk around like it is normal. Its like looking at a bird's ear- turn to the side and its hollow all the way through.

Idk if I can explain it the way I intend so I attempted a diagram. Please forgive me. I just have to get this out of my head.

And the best part is, people who dress like this while looking like this are often delusional that they're "curvy" "thicc goddess" with big boobs, hips, and butts in an attractive sense. But in reality the actual butt is 1/5th and the rest is leg and hip fat.... not to mention the lymphedema swelling.

thanks for the diagram very informative

the same clothes can't really translate well to the body of an obese person because after a certain point their whole frame and body structure in entirely different from a normative person, it's no longer just a matter of making it a bigger size, it'll never lay quite the same
and despite the abundance of mucho mega fat fucks in the world, many clothing makers still create fat peoples' clothes as if they are just normally proportioned people that have been selected and dragged larger in MsPaint
 
I blame the clothing industry. They really shouldn’t make rompers in plus sizes, like lots of other stuff they shouldn’t make, including crop tops.
Yep. As an old coworker of mine once said, after watching a size 20 crammed into a size 14.....not all clothes are meant for all bodies.

(Yeah, I'm fat phobic, so sue me.)

I feel the same when it comes to leggings. If i can see the cottage cheese through the leggings, just stop.

Also noticed women are starting to increasingly to pull waistbands above their belly button, seemingly to hide their fat. It's like, "fat is beautiful" but also "gotta hide my fat"
 
My great grandmother had VERY strong opinions on fashion and liked to say that "certain things shouldn't come in certain sizes". She also added that just because it IS your size, doesn't mean you should wear it. I'd love to know what she'd think of the modern day catering towards deathfats considering that she was very health-concious long before it was trendy.

it's true, and I recall when a certain clothing brand (which, to be fair, is quite ugly and trashy, but nonetheless) refused to make clothing in fat people sizes and was shunned for it
No clothing maker, whether it be a private owned business or large corporation, should be obligated to make clothing in 'every size'
if you have a very clear and strict vision of what your work should look like, you cheapen your vision by making it appeal to absolutely everyone
if you wouldn't criticize a clothing brand for not making their clothes in every color of the rainbow 'just in case someone wants to wear "greenish green shirt number #green in greenish green" but hates the color green so make it in pink', then why would you criticize a brand for not making their Skinny Fit Clothes Line For The Thin in sizes 3XL and up
