I have no sympathy for this young woman.
Heres hoping her latest health scare might prompt something to be done.

Only the ones about beached whales.
As a suggestion, drag the parents out of the house and turn it into a army barracks, said trapped fatty upstairs can only eat army rations until normal weight is achieved, at that point ex-fatty is allowed to go free.
Ex-fatty to be kept under surveillance for 5/10 years, if seen gorging 50 cal through the skull.
If it makes the fatties feel better the army guys can wear NHS badges.

Well, I agree there is a psychological factor here, hence the use of them in fat camps. Which brings me to my point.
She managed to lose half her body weight before through fat camp, and only gained weight because, as in the article, her mum was too lazy to prepare food so got Fish and Chips. Then surely with that weight loss before it proves she has enough will power or the treatment was effective enough for her to lose weight. It was succesful.
She could eat fish and chips too, but i bet she had double portions rather than half portions, and lack or will power to exercise will not help to maintain her old weight either.
Major oversimplification + lack of understanding.
Anorexia and bulimic anorexia are psychiatric issues with body image. The pathology is nothing to do with food. Anorexics will not just not eat, they'll do other extreme things to get their body as thin as possible..
Over-eating is just what it sounds like, which is the reason it's not a medical condition per se. Maybe there's addiction issues, but smoking isn't a medical condition either.
Don't put them in the same category

I was just about to post the same. Is the mother deliberately keeping her obese so her daughter will always be dependent on her as she's certainly not helping the situation?
Army rations are surely high in calories/fat etc. as it's the sort of thing you need to keep you going in extreme conditions?

My ex-girlfriend was anorexic, there were other issues too.
She wouldn't do anything about, despite all the help her family, myself and the health service tried to give and it led to the eventual break-up of our relationship. Perhaps more could have been done, but I couldn't be with anyone with an eating disorder anymore. Far too much hard work for me.

You're right in saying that over eating isn't a medical condition in of itself, however it's usually a symptom of another problem, be it depression, addiction or whatever. From what I've observed, it's very rare that "just stop eating" works in the long term, because unless you deal with the underlying issue, the obese person will eventually return to their previous eating habits.Major oversimplification + lack of understanding.

Indeed they are.
Plus when she was doing the Fat Camp, she would have been on a controlled diet.
Simply reducing her food intake to practically nothing is not going to help her because she would go into starvation mode. She still needs to eat a decent amount of calories each day, but good ones and obviously needs exercise too.
well shje went to a fat camp in American lost 15 stone then came hoem and went straight on the fish and chips and went up to 63 stone.
so yeah just stop feeding the whale seems to be the solution.
Obviously 'just stop eating' isn't going to work
. Like smoking, or most cases of excessive drinking, or computer game addiction, etc etc. No one's saying that.Ofc it takes a deal of willpower, wanting to stop, and support from other people, none of which this young lady had or received. You can argue about who's fault that is ad infinitum.
Saying that it's a symptom of depression or addiction is just a cop-out in most cases, and not technically correct. For the former, it's possible, but over-eating to this extent almost never manifests, and it is generally easy to diagnose and treat. If anything, she is more likely to be depressed because she over-eats. For the latter, addiction to food is practically the same as 'chronic over-eating' so the point doesn't really lead anywhere.
yes she has she got sent to a 3.6 thousand pound a month fat campo and lost 15 stone then came home and ate her self back up to 63stone.
at this poitn she cannot phsycialy feed her self so no there is 0% willpower o nher part invovled at all, she cant get far so she sil leat what is provided if there is nothing more than a sensible daily diet then she cannot eat molre than that.
Won't somebody please thing of the environment!!!!!
burn it with fire with a carbon capture system in place?
