I'm disabled and 360 lbs. The disability came from tripping over carelessly scattered wires in the office I worked in. That happened 8 years ago. I pitched forward during the fall and landed on both knees which promptly exploded into bits and pieces that a few surgeries couldn't repair. As soon as I hit age 62, I filed for SSDI. Took over two years before I could collect any money and in the meantime the company moved our operation half to Canada and half to Mexico. Three years with state disability and unemployment instead of a job until SSDI came thru, DI followed SS by 6 months. Knees will never work again and the ankles and hips are failing too without the knees help. Fat people aren't always just weak-willed gluttons. Sometimes not be able to move at all without assistance puts on the pounds, especially if one has been active physically before being injured. Feeling sorry for oneself and eating normally as an active adult male always has is about the only therapy left that doesn't require a therapist.
