Same way as any other addictive personality. They have someone enabling them. I watched a thing on this guy on Discovery Fit & Health (what an oxymoron there). He was unable to get out of his house, so how did he get all the food? Someone bought it for him...and prepared it for him.
I think the thing about him being a choice making adult may be taken too far here as far as his health goes. Someone needs to slap these people upside the head and say ENOUGH already.
I mean, a bit different, but my hubby is diabetic..and I do all the shopping. I am careful not to buy a lot of crap foods. His doctor has said that an occasional cookie or serving of potatoe chips will not kill him, but he has to be careful. SO, if I do have chips in the house, I always tell him I will serve them up..I put SOME in a bowl for him, do not give him the whole bag. Because I know if I just hand him the bag he will eat the whole thing in one sitting. He has a fit sometimes, but I just say that I will not be a party to him eatting more than he should.
