i do not call being fat a disibility.
one becomes fat by putting rubbish in the north and south.

Do some research, obesity is a disease that some people are born with. No matter how little they eat, or excersise, the weight remains

On YouTube, Martin did mention that he doesn't have the means to help him address his issues, as he mentioned he is on a Disability Pension, which would mean he has access to the Public Health Services, it would no doubt take him months to see the appropriate Doctors, plus a referral to a Specialist which he couldn't afford. Perhaps his Doctor could help him in some way to get the right medical care via the Public Health System. This in turn would help Martin achieve his goals, thus giving him a new lease of life with a positive outcome... revitalized, new attitude, and back into the workforce as a new personality. Maybe even helping people with similar challenges.
In the meantime, regarding travel, I understand there are taxi vans available for people with Disabilities and in wheelchairs that transport them to and from appointments. Martin would have to check it out and contact the appropriate companies instead of calling Uber.
As Uber is aware of Martin's situation, they could refer him to other methods of transport, and happily give him their contact numbers, maybe even list the taxi van companies on their websites.

Dear member Josephine767, this is the best post this evening. You speak with empathy, care, excellent knowledge and compassion which is what this issue needs. Thankyou dear member Josephine,767. Wishing you an enjoyable and pleasant week.

All of us who made these so called negative comments were just stating facts.

Me for one just lost 40 kg and it did take a lot of determination and will power.

When I piled on the weight along came diabetes 2. The diabetes and weight gain was my fault although I can blame it on a medical condition called depression.

Last night I confirmed with my daughter who is a nurse and her close friend is a dietician that works in hospitals with obese. She tries to help them lose weight before surgery.

My daughter told me there are cases of morbidly obese people who have medical issues which make them like that, but majority have it through their love affair with food and no exercise.
She also said with people like this food becomes an addition and they need not just help with the way they live but also they need counselling.

It is a form of eating disorder

I know you mentioned you are very overweight and struggling to lose it. Is yours medical ?
There is help Even medical obesity

People are not born obese .

People are born with a medical condition that creates obesity. Speak with a qualified doctor to confirm this fact. It is classified as a disease.

Dear Leenie, speak with a qualified doctor. Some people are naturally predisposed to bring obese due to genetic and metabolic factors. Those people who can lose a tremendous amount of weight, do not have issues with their genes. Now you can finish with the topic. Have a lovely day.

Dear Suzanne, you were born with healthy genes. That is a blessing and that is why you were able to lose so much weight with complete success. Some people are naturally predisposed to being obese due to genetic factors. I will let this issue go as we have different views and opinions as to why people are obese. All good. Have a beautiful week.

Maybe he should look at his diet and do some exercise,unless he has a medical issue , then that’s not an excuse to be overweight either , it can be controlled by his GP . No excuse .

It canNOT always be controlled by diet. I knew a guy who was actually quite slim until he had to have surgery. Although he exercised and was very careful what he ate he still gradually gained a lot of weight. He volunteered and went into hospital for over a fortnight and ate only what they gave him his weight still increased. Nobody visited him so there was definitely so food taken into him. When he arrived they searched everything to ensure he had no food, drinks or drugs of any type including prescription ones with him. His skin got so tight it split and he got ulcers which wouldn't heal and it eventually killed him
