> Another one who wants to get his minutes of fame.In spite of his experience ,

so he will understand what's it like to be fat...he will never get it. Bc AGAIN:

being fat is not about a choice to start eating 12 doughnuts in one sitting or

17 hotdogs or 50 chicken nuggets. the fact that in week 11 he still calls it a

challenge, shows he still doesn't get it what makes a person obese.It is

interesting that in wk 12 he is eating 2 loco moco and he blames the rice for

the filling sensation (yes, blame the carbs, the new enemy), not the 2 meat

patties he ate already. He is so judgmental every day, saying how he is goings

to puke every moment. I don't know. the whole thing looks so insincere. It looks

like every week he is eating only one big, huge meal that even an average overwt

person does not eat in one sitting.wk 21, still complaining he's " about to

puke " .Notice that he gains less and less every week, which supports my

assumption that he is eating (or trying to eat) one huge meal a week, for the

video.As of Oct. 22nd there are no new videos on youtubes. As of this wkend of

Nov 5 he is in his " back to fit " phase. What's going on these 2 wks?I wonder how

difficult it will be for someone, who never been unfit, out-of-shape and always

been very conscience about his intake, to lose the wt.I don't think he will get

the message bc he was disgusted with all foods he ate. Not to mention, most

overwt and obese people don't get obese in the course of 24 wks. and as I said

in previous discussions on obesity, no one wakes up one morning (like this guy

did) and decides " let me be fat " . I am afraid that it will send the wrong

message to most people who will conclude that all obese/overwt people are just

" lazy " and will make the struggle of people with their wt even more painful as

they will be judged and discriminated against even more.
