Fat City

Fat City:
To get that fat takes dedication and persistence. To burn off that much fat is almost impossible. Long-term hospitalisation – a year or more – with a very low calorie diet is really the only path, and even then the person does not leave the hospital in anything like normal shape. The sheets of skin that have grown around the blooming cushions of flesh do not spank back into non-existence. Other consequences of fatness are irreversible. Someone who has never been fat is metabolically healthier (they can eat more) and will live longer than someone who has been fat and no longer is.
