So, we all know there's an obesity crisis right now. People are getting fatter and fatter, with no end in sight. Let's not detract from what you've done to yourself though. You're massive. You've forged yourself into an exclusive club: one of the fattest people alive today.

Think about it: the average American woman weighs 170lbs. Globally, the average is more like 149lbs.

In the USA, if you weigh 300lbs you're still amongst the top 2% heaviest people in the country.

Another 10lbs on top of that? Congratulations, you're now one of the top 1% most obese people in the US.

By the time you reach 400lbs you're in the top 0.1%. Not just in America. Globally. There are whole COUNTRIES where the isn't a single person as fat as you.

Once you hit a quarter of a tonne the statistical information just breaks down. You're not just obese. You're an "extreme statistical outlier": the top 0.01% fattest people on Earth. There are probably only around 807,000 at your weight on the entire planet. With every few pounds gained beyond that the drop off is exponential.

600lbs? There's probably less than 100,000 people in the world at your size, and by 700lbs, you're sharing an accolade achieved by just a few thousand people.
