Concur with Munchies that it is possible.
Also depends upon how one defines “healthy”.
I have the amazing fortune of having a new superfat girlfriend who’s in the low 300s of pounds (around 1.6 m tall, for some nice mixed units of measure). When the Metro A/Blue line was in a literal train wreck, she wanted to walk the 6 reasonably-long blocks to the next station rather than backtrack 3 blocks to the station where we’d just been. Yes, the relative slowness had something to do with her carrying twice as much of herself mass-wise as me, but had more to do with a long-ago injury where her boss at a gas station where she worked ran over her leg. That’s going to mess nearly anybody up, likely permanently, as for her. She’s on strong pain meds due to that.
Decades of shitty/nonexistent health “care” because she’s very fat, giving the medical fools an excuse to ignore her actual issues.
She eats fast food all the time—rarely ever a home meal—and chugs high fructose corn syrup-laden soft drinks in quantity every day, and yet she’s the only one in her (fat) family who does NOT have type 2 diabetes (nor metabolic syndrome symptoms). She does love fruit and likes salads, so it’s not a totally unhealthy diet, but i and most people would be way sicker or dead eating/drinking (no alcohol) as she does… at least according to common “wisdom”.
Likely she’s as well-off health-wise as she is because despite always having been fat, she’s always been physically active. Pizza delivery, gas station—standing and moving jobs. She also goes deep into her own auto repairs and other repair/maintenance work—more movement/exercise. And yet she’s piled with sexy, sensual subcutaneous fat in abundance nearly everywhere.
We don’t yet know anywhere near enough honest, unbiased information about how fatness really works—especially all the variables. I’ve asked her many times, and she says she honestly doesn’t know what makes her fat. When we’re together, which has included immersive days living full-time together, she consistently eats less than i do, and i have far less to show for what i eat (no fat, lesser health).
She knows i’m a mod on here and we’ve discussed feedism and she’s hinted that she has an open mind about it, but honestly i don’t want to mess with what she has going in terms of pretty decent health—especially for someone who’s received shit medical care and at least one major injury in no way her fault. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around how anyone can consume HFCS-laden beverages in the volume she does and not at least have some hints of metabolic syndrome.
