In the movies “Fat (What no one is telling you)” and “Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead” both address the issue of weight, appearance, and health problems associated with being overweight. Both movies provide an interesting view of people living with weight problems. In the movie “Fat (What no one is telling you)” there are different individual cases of their struggle with being overweight.

However, he does not have the will power to work out and wants to find the easy way out by subjecting himself to surgery to help him overcome his weight problems.

At the end of the 60 days he lost over 80 pounds and his health has improved significantly. Along his journey through the different dates he came across a guy who surprisingly has the same illness and he offers his help to him. Overall, for many people it is very hard to give up the foods they love and just do not have the will power to change their eating habits and for others near death experiences or to
