Fat Guy Across America / FGAA / Eric Hites and Angie Hites (nee Atterbury) - In which a morbidly obese scam artist crowd funded a year+ vacation.

[John Andrews Stan]

Same old shit from Eric, even with this show, the media is ignoring it, and I think the producers knew this show was a bomb so they made sure it got aired when golf was on. The only thing I think he is correct on, is that Robert Reames is full of shit himself. Making a few phone calls and sending someone a FitBit/heart monitor isn't trainer support. Sending Eric and Angie shitfood that NO ONE EATS isn't support either, that would fail with almost anyone. Eric needs someone physically working with him almost every day in person. Not someone making phone calls once every two weeks to check on things. That said, the Eric is a super obese asshole is because of Eric and he has no excuses.

Eric’s inability to work remotely with a trainer doesn’t make RR “full of shit.” Loads of people have great success working remotely with trainers/health coaches. As Dr. Phil pointed out, Eric has dozens of excuses and nothing but excuses for his failures. None of those excuses are the truth: “I’m profoundly broken and refuse to take responsibility for my actions or choices.” And that has zero to do with RR.

What information do you have on this "shitfood that NO ONE EATS"?

Some do but real support would be a trainer or support staff physically with you. When I had my heart attack, I went to cardio rehab, where they worked with me a few times a week in person. 36 sessions in total. It made such a HUGE DIFFERENCE to me, and no way would it work via emails or text. I think Eric would greatly benefit from something like that, live heart monitoring with supervised workouts and I think Dr Phil should foot the bill on it since he's using Eric for his personal ratings. Eric of course would find excuses not to do it for more than few days.

Still, Eric is a complete dick who brings this shit on himself.

I don't have time to search for it but the company that supplied the Hites was shady at best, and the stuff looked like shit food from memory. Not even sure if the company is still in business, but it wasn't a mainstream one like "Weight Watchers".

 

[Karl der Grosse]

It doesn't matter how unappealing the food is, Eric will eat it. Probably a month's worth within three days.

Exactly what the fuck do you expect when he gets things for free?

Yeah, he didn't have a personal trainer come sit with him in person. He didn't get top flight diet food. You know what? There are people who make this shit work without any of that.

 

[JoyQ]

Saw this thread pop up and thought he had finally died lol.

If anything is going to help him it would be like 3x/week therapy. Dieting isn’t going to work til they fix his mental problems. Dr Phil should know that.

First appearance on Dr Phil he was 514 now he’s almost 700 lbs.

 

[Peepee]

I think Dr Phil should foot the bill on it since he's using Eric for his personal ratings.

I don't agree with this. If I recall correctly, the original Dr Phil episode happened because Eric himself contacted Dr Phil. He wanted to go on the show to confront his online "haters," and he was convinced that Dr Phil would be on his side. Obviously it turned around on him badly, but the point is that Eric is the one who set the whole thing up as a part of his own grift. Dr Phil wasn't out there recruiting Eric to be on his show, so Dr Phil really doesn't owe Eric anything.

This isn't just a matter of going "GRRR, HATE THE FAT MAN, HE DESERVES TO SUFFER." Eric has a huge entitlement complex fueled by his astonishing arrogance. The more people give to him, the more entitled he feels. If he's ever going to start fixing his huge list of mental problems he needs to break this cycle of dependence and realize that nobody owes him anything. He definitely needs help, but it has to be carefully measured help that encourages him to do something to earn it.

 

[Karl der Grosse]

I don't even know why anyone would bother trying to help Eric. He's a remarkably ungrateful asshole who won't live another ten years. He might not live another six months. At this point pretty much anything could kill him.

How do you fix the mental problems of a guy like this? No points for specifying a caliber.

 

[LordofCringe7206]

I caught a rerun of the episode this morning. Very boring, nothing really new and exciting. Just further proof that Eric is a lost cause and isn't going to want to seriously change his life until he's on death's door.

I don't know what can be done to save him. I don't doubt he's mentally ill because you don't get to be that size in life without some sort of mental illness. But Eric stands out to me as one of the few morbidly obese people who is comfortable being as fat as he is.

 

[Molester Stallone]

Eric is a lazy shit who will never take responsibility for his actions. I can't see him living another 5 years at this point, he's just too big. The mentality of people like him is fascinating in a way. I've offered to help people lose weight and almost every time I hear nothing but excuses. It just goes to show the train of thought that many of the morbidly obese have in common.

Anyone manage to find the full episode online yet?

Dagny Kight (or whatever she is calling herself these days, if she is even still alive) helped set up a lot of Eric's interview while pretending to be a "hater". "Hater" in fact was a term she came up with to help Eric along. She was probably his biggest enabler outside of his parents. After the first Dr Phil airing, her and Angie were outside smoking cigarettes together in celebration.

I dunno, man. This kind of stuff is where the "hater groups" and GOMI really lost me. Eric and Angie are definitely sleazy grifters, but not everything is a conspiracy. Pretty sure the mutual disdain between Dagny and A+E was genuine.

He’s going to be the death of his old man

Eric is waiting for the new Burger

Seems like Dagny was offering to work with him in person early on and of course anybody that takes any of the spotlight away from Eric’s magnificent corpulence at all draws daggers quickly. I used to keep up with the Twitter dog Madeline-but that fell off . This is a death watch. He’s too big to live and trying to lose probably stresses the heart also. And of course the inevitable binges won’t help.

You appear to be massively full of shit in this thread.

He must be hurting for cash again. To be honest, I don't understand how he's ever *not* hurting for cash, but this is the first time money has come up in a while, even indirectly. Just a few months ago he was buying a fucking swimming pool, but no word on how he paid for it.

I still haven't seen the Dr Phil episode. Did his finances come up at all this time? I know last time Dr Phil very briefly pressed him on his insane debt. Would like know how much deeper the hole he's been digging has gotten since then.

He has to get “their own place” before Angie will come back to wipe his butt, since he probably already wasted what little he got from Dr. Phil. So this is just a call for help to his followers to donate money. Maybe he’ll offer a slightly used pool as collateral.
Of course a deadbeat like Eric gets quoted a crazy loan price-they know he will NEVER in a million years pay it back!!

Eric's wife, Angie, has filed for divorce. Also Eric has been making social media comments regarding how outrageously high the interest rates are to get a loan. Thus marks the end of the internationally known power couple.
