Why is Jack so fat

[elliebrew]

How is Jack so fat if all he eats is carrots

I'm thinking the Carrots are some desperate grab to create a character

Awful housemate

[Vanessa]

He works in a fast food.

[Drew.]

Some people are naturally big

[bots]

He has a gene that makes him eat too much

[Northern Monkey]

Maybe he's eating the carrots to lose weight?

[Jason.]

A number of possible reasons:

He eats too much.
Doesn't exercise much.
Naturally big.
Big boned.
Illness.
Depression.

Or Katie Hopkins reasoning. He's lazy.

[Pete.]

Because he's lazy

[Jamesy]

You need to do far more than eat carrots to lose weight :laugh:

[Raph]

What a stupid thread title, that's all I'm going to contribute to this.

[LukeB]

Does it matter why he's fat?

Awful housemate

i was thinking this too

using it as a sort of gimmick

like who the **** likes raw carrots they taste rank

[Jake.]

Why would you care?

[bots]

You use up more calories eating a carrot than they contain ... simple

[LukeB]

He works in a fast food.

I don't think that's why he's fat, but it's practically none of our business some can't help it. He may love food but who doesn't?

no you don't wtf :joker:

Aaron.

[Mystic Mock]

I like Carrots and maybe he eats lots and lots of them.

[Northern Monkey]

Maybe he wants to be able to see in the dark for when the women are changing?

[JoshBB]

He's probably decided to substitute junk snacks with carrots to prevent further weight gain or something like that. Dedication because I would get sick of carrots so quickly lmao

[Mystic Mock]

:laugh3:

Not a bad plan if it's true.:cool:

[fitz2k2]

sweets n cakes

[T*]

because he ate a cat #poetry

[Jason.]

He ate Pauline's chicken.

[Mystic Mock]

He ate Pauline's chicken.

:joker:

[Ross.]

Controversial elliebrew?

[GypsyGoth]

He just takes in more calories than he uses. I'm guessing working in mcdonalds doesn't help him. Strangely people who live on fast food can be overweight and at the same time suffering from malnutrition.

[Rob!]

What a delightful thread :umm2:

[JTM45]

He probably gets a lot of people buying pies for him at the football.

It's probably a good thing that his nickname isn't Deep-Fried Mars Bar Face!

..I do understand that you probably do these thread titles and posts for effect Ellie and to encourage discussions of things/topics that people will have and obviously have split and opposite thoughts about with housemates and that's a good thing/you encourage some great discussions..but this does make me cringe in that Jack may be really unhappy with his weight, it may come from deep insecurities and low self esteem..and I think that people are fortunate if they have never experienced that themselves and have no understanding or tolerance of it...and that's not 'enabling' someone to be over-weight and happy to be so because I know that it can create health issues for them..but I think that before they can address anything about their weight which might also then cause them even lower self esteem and so it goes on and on etc...a circle of them possibly feeling really unhappy with themselves..?..they have to be in a place of confidence within themselves and who they are/self belief to do that and then it could all come together for them that self belief will help them to look at other things that they aren't happy with about themselves and give them the strength to get control and be able to deal with it....at some point Jack will come out of the house and possibly read all of the internet stuff and things that have been said on forums etc and not only cruel/derogatory terms about his weight but also that he's an awful person, fairly boring and not much about his personality either...if people really dislike 'fat' people and find it hard to see beyond that...then imo this really is the worst way to address what is a very real and growing/serious issue in young people atm...let's all just say that they're generally pretty awful all round and fairly much losers or poke fun if they're eating a carrot, yeah that'll work and do the trick, make for less young obesity...I'm not saying it's 'bullying' by you or bullying in general but isn't that what the 'mean girls' used to do at school and isn't that possibly what creates these low self esteems and addictions to things like food/gambing etc to try to make themselves feel better because they already hate who they are..have been 'programmed' to hate who they are because they might not 'fit in' with the running crowd...the people who decide what is 'acceptable' and what is not and who is acceptable and who is not ...

[Gusto Brunt]

Otherwise known as greedy.:joker:

[crazycolaist]

He isnt fat. He is probably clincally obese which is just as bad as drug addiction (Personally) Everybody says he eats too many carrots. Well its because he is addicted to food hence his size. Not a worthy winner in my eyes based on that & how that reflects his personality (because his mum or dad probably never said no when he wanted food) hence he is a bit of a hothead when he doesnt get both ways.

I get what you're saying Ammi and I agree with it, there is stuff to attack Jack for personality wise like the fact that his already really paranoid, and that he seems like his a bit of a Sheep to the person that his talking to.

His weight should be a problem for him, but not his biggest as his other traits can affect others imo.

[Mrbigbrother]

Some people are naturally big

No one is natrally big..
It's just an excuse,
After watching biggest loser for the past few series, they all say "I'm naturally big" then you see their X-Rays,

THERE IS 1000000 metres of fat, and a tiny skeleton

Good post!
Jack seems like a nice lad and i think that is what he should be judged on.His weight is his problem,Not ours.

[Kizzy]

He's fat because you hate him.

He was swimming in the pool the other day while the others were all having a bevvy, he doesn't seem to have any issues and maybe just eats a few too may freebies from work.
He's young ad I'm sure he'll get a handle on it.

[aman201]

He certainly is a chubby funster.

[adam_thedon]

I don't think that's why he's fat, but it's practically none of our business some can't help it. He may love food but who doesn't?


I worked in fast food when I was much younger and it does become a easy habit to eat there daily. You can easily put on a few pounds. Depends how his will power is

[Ammi]

...obviously I don't know for sure but I would guess that with his gambling, he could be prone to addictions in his personality...

Awful housemate

Yes a worse type one as well

Thats So Positive

I hope so to

[Jords]

Typical weight threads :rolleyes:

[Gusto Brunt]

By his own admission he ate all the pies, so why the question? :D

[sampvt]

Working this out isn't actually rocket science....His calorie intake is greater than his metabolism is burning up, hence the excessive fat deposits he is carrying. Simples.

Acting out a lifestyle in the house bears no resemblance to how he is at home or work. Most obese people are after 6pm munchers. The carrots are his comfort blanket and take the place of his favourite snacks. He will loose weight in that house and probably quite quickly.

[rionablue]

Firstly I don't think 'fat' is a nice word OP. Large would probably have been a better choice of word. I think he is possibly addicted to sugary foods etc. I do hope that he gets a handle on it as at his age it would be nice if he could lose a few stone and maybe meet a nice girl. I have a cousin who looked something like Jack and by the age of 28 he had reached 26 stone. He was just addicted to food. When his health started to suffer a few years ago he got a gastic band put in. He told me a few weeks ago he just WISHES he had done something about his weight when he was in his 20's and maybe he would have met someone and settled down. I hope that Jack gets and handle on it. Judging him as a housemate I am not sure I like him much. I thought he would be a great one but I am finding him boring ATM

[Razor]

Who cares?

I prefer the term chubby funster to describe Jack.

[ebandit]

there's a pie man waiting in the sky
he would like to come and see you
'cos he knows it's all worthwhile
so be sure sure to eat up your pies with a smile

[Gillian-73]

Horrible thread title!!!! This made me chuckle though ��

Maybe he wants to be able to see in the dark for when the women are changing?

[Denver]

Why are so people so horrible? What people are also forgetting is he is 6'4 so looks bigger then he probaly actually is

[Crimson Dynamo]

he has a big boned thyroid condition

[erinp5]

12.25pm: Jack's gone back to bed. Not sure Big Brother will be hugely impressed with that

I said day 1 he was another Laura.

[Amy Jade]

If all he eats is carrots why is he get his nickname for being a pie?

[Smithy]

He works at McDonald's umm

[Beso]

Because he's lazy

seems to have managed to climb the ladder at work so i'm doubting he's that lazy.
