So Null weighs over 250 right?
He weighs at least as much as you.
You have to be seriously overeating every day to maintain that weight.
Some people are incapable of comprehending what is normal eating and what is overeating.
He's making it sound like he just doesn't obsess over his macros
Your mom is a macro.
and eats a burger if he feels like it,
Of course he eats when he feels like it, which is inbetween chugging 2L bottles of Coke Zero.
but that does not make you morbidly obese.
Some people have slow metabolism and will be more predisposed to weight gain. He has been overweight his entire adult life, so this might be the case for him.
He also has, as far as we know, zero physical activity. His entire life is online, which means he spends every waking moment parked in front of a computer. He needs to burn at least as many calories as he eats per day, at a minimum, to not gain weight. I'm guessing he eats probably 2500-3000 calories a day, which is way too much for someone who sits on his ass all day. If he doesn't get at least that much per day he likely feels hungry which would cause him to fill the deficit.
If he would cut back to 1500 true and honest calories per day, and get off his ass and walk a few miles per day, not on a treadmill, he would lose weight. Not very quickly, mind you, but a couple pounds per week is something at least.
The problem is feeling hungry all day is too much for him. The urge to stuff his face is too strong. Likewise, walking for over an hour per day would take him away from his online world for far too long, and possibly too risky if he's trying to stay out of the public's view. Finally, the slow progress of this very simplistic plan means it'd take him about a year to lose 100lbs, and that's a goal that is simply out of reach for
@Null.
