Title: At what point do you say to yourself, "I\'m overweight."

STUART -- A 480-pound Martin County woman has died after emergency workers tried to remove her from the couch where she had remained for about six years.

Gayle Laverne Grinds died yesterday, after a failed six-hour effort to dislodge her from the couch in her home. Workers say the home was filthy, and Grinds was too large to get up from the couch to even use the bathroom.

A preliminary autopsy on the the four-foot, ten-inch woman lists the cause of death as "morbid obesity." But officials want to know more about the circumstances inside the home.

Investigators say Grinds lived with a man named Herman Thomas, who says he tried to take care of her the best he could. He has told them he tried repeatedly to get her up, but simply couldn\'t. No charges have been filed, but officials are looking into negligence issues.

Emergency workers had to remove some sliding glass doors and lift the couch, with Grinds still on it, to a trailer behind a pickup truck. She died at Martin Memorial Hospital South, still attached to the couch.

Neighbors say they had no idea Grinds lived at the duplex, though they had seen Thomas and some children outside. (AP)

Post by: clips on August 12, 2004, 12:09:45 PM: how the hell do you let yourself go like that? low self esteem? overeating or what?! that\'s why it\'s not even cute to see these overweight 3 yr old babies...eating whatever the parents let them eat...i understand to a degree if you have big people in your family you\'re likely to be big yourself, but to let yourself get like that?...it\'s no excuse for that...

That\'s what Television does to people, they become useless fat ****s. BTW: Was she on Wellfare or some kind of social assistance. She probably ate 2 X-Large Pizzas a day. Wtf was she thinking!

Post by: SirMystiq on August 14, 2004, 10:59:57 AM: I\'ve wondered that also.

When I worked at BK I saw 5 year old kids that weighed probably as much as I did and ordered meals that grown 250 pound men order.

It\'s sad.

I can relate, at Papa Murphys- this one guy ( 300 pounds, really short, always wears sweats ) comes in and gets 5 of our 1lb cookie dough containers. This is every day, its like its his dinner- raw cookie dough.

Yeah, I\'m kidding. The calender thing is a kind of good idea if you do have an addiction or bad habit. Mark the days on the calender you haven\'t done it. You see the marks and realize that you\'ve had the strength so far and keep the progress up. Works for me atleast.
