Morbidly Obese

I'm watching "The 750 lb man" on TV. I saw it before, along with another show about a similarly large woman. Now and then you hear a story about some massively obese person who hasn't left their bed in years. Without any intent of being cruel, I cannot help but think that these folks are not able to gt out of bed, so how do they stay so huge? Clearly, somebody is enabling their road to ruin.

• big person: "Bring me a dozen Krispy Kremes!"
• loved one: "Don't you think that's a bit much?"
• big person: "Hey, don't you be judging me! I don't need you tellin' me how to live! Just you go on out and get me those Krispy Kremes! And bring back some Diet Coke, too!"
• loved one: "Hey, I'm only trying to help you, I love you."
• big person: "Well, just get me those Kremes, will ya?"

I'm certain there must be exchanges like this all the time. It just sounds so hard to believe, but obviously it happens regularly. After all, if the big person is bedbound, the other person is doing a lot more than bringing food. Enabling person needs some counseling, too; I'd suspect. Come to think of it, I suspect the symbiotic relationship between the big person and the loved one is similar to that of an alcoholic and an enabling loved one.

A million wrong decisions, made in sequence. "Should I stop now, or have one more?"

I'm certainly not mocking these unfortunate folks, I've made a boatload of wrong choices in life.
