Don't Want to Get Fused to a Couch? PUT DOWN THE FORK

[*distant thrum*]

I know the bar rests roughly 50 meters below the bottom of the barrel but since food addiction gets bandied about in this thread semi regularly I feel like it's a massive disservice to actual drug addicts. I've known a good handful of meth heads and felons and literally all of them have been better looking than Chantal a good chunk of them were also kinder, cleaner, and had better work ethic. I'd even consider a couple to be dear friends, something I couldn't even imagine with the kitchen ogre
I don't think any other person exemplifies watching a trainwreck happen in slow motion more than her, it's profoundly strange to watch a person literally rot, while still alive, in real time. It reminds me of the ancient green text about the lady whose skin literally fused to her lazy boy and when they tried to move her her kidneys fell out. Absolutely morbidly astounding.

Spoiler: Edited to add the story

This as close to the greentext I could find and might even be older than it. Sorry its kinda shitty quality.

Here are a couple more stories about the woman who stuck to her couch. Be sure to scroll down and read the second story. I think our gorl is heading in the direction--couldn't happen to a more suitable whale.

“Gregarious, already 300 pounds but mobile, Grinds was known as a great cook who loved to pass around her fried chicken and fish. She had a giant appetite, but she told friends a thyroid problem made her obese.”

It always starts with denial. Unless you confront your problems, they become bigger problems. So sad, I remember first reading about this woman and thinking, “wow some poor old lady died fused to a chair?”

But now I re-read it...she was morbidly obese, fused to a chair, covered in her own feces and 39 years old. She wasn’t even middle-aged. That is heartbreaking.

It’s like so many have said in this thread...one bad fall, Chantal, and that’s your future. Sitting on a couch using a broken leg or hip as an excuse to never get up until you’ve piled another 100 lbs on and it’s too late.

Off topic.. if you google search her name. You see a black woman that looks like could be the actual picture of this woman who died. But then there’s pics of a huge white woman on the media stories. Why the color change?

chantal is this woman in 3 years. Wonder if they will change her color for the media.

The picture of the white woman in search results is from an episode of Nip/Tuck ("Momma Boone").

Nip Tuck had an episode that portrayed this. I had no idea it was based on a real story. Horrific.

There's also this story of an obese man who died after being fused to a chair for 2 years. He had roommates - including a girlfriend.

A morbidly obese Ohio man has died after police found him fused to a chair he had not moved from in two years and were forced to cut a hole in the wall of his house just to get him out, WTOV-TV reported Wednesday.

The unnamed 43-year-old man's roommates called police who found him unconscious.

He was taken to Wheeling Hospital in nearby West Virginia, where he later died.

A hospital spokesman would not comment on the man's death.

The man lived with two able-bodied roommates -- including his girlfriend, who officials said fed him since he never got up -- in a home in Bellaire, Ohio.

The roommates called police upon finding the man unresponsive on Sunday.

Officers who responded to the scene said that the man's skin was fused to the fabric of chair and that he was sitting in his own feces and urine with maggots visible, WTRF-TV reported earlier.

One officer said it was the worst thing he had ever responded to. Another told the local TV station he had to throw away his uniform after helping remove the man from the chair.

"The living room where the man lived in his chair was very filthy, very deplorable. It's unbelievable that somebody lives in conditions like that," Jim Chase, a local city code enforcer, told WTRF.

"I instructed the landlord this [Monday] morning and the two people, the tenants at the house, they had to get it cleaned, there's no way they can live in something like that, and so they are working on it," he added. "I'll be going back daily, checking on it, making sure that they get it cleaned it and serviceable. If not, they must get out."

The landlord said the man used to be an active person and said she had no idea how bad his condition was since he covered himself with a blanket every time she came to visit
