Obesity
| “ | One more thing, I AM NOT OVERWEIGHT!!!!!!!!! | ” |
| Chris, lying to White Knight | ||
Obesity is an epidemic in America, with 64% of adults overweight and 26% obese. This is especially apparent in the Chandler home, in which 100% of its residents are fucking fat. Chris, Barbara and even their cat, Desi.
Chris seems to be in denial of his own obesity, despite the fact that he has been overweight since childhood. His denial is evidenced by the fact that he portrays himself as a slim, barrel-chested hero in his comics and in Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE when he describes himself as "fit as a fiddle".
Another example of this was when he created a character for his comics named Sammy, whom Chris stated is based off him when he "temporary gained weight, Became stupid, and went to watch television at ghost command", even though he has always been this way.
Exercise
Chris believes that exercise involves standing up without moving, and will do so when he play Guitar Hero. It's been shown during one of his PSN chats with Julie, when asked to exercise more, he replied, "I'll stand up more". It is not known how Chris came to believe that standing up was an exercise, but it is most likely that Chris is simply extremely lazy and will lie to say that he works out everyday, even though he just plays vidya.
Actual weight
In some chats, when asked how much he weighed, Chris replied "about 200". Taking into consideration of Chris's height, along with the nude pictures circulating the Internet, a better estimation would be in the mid 200's, around 250 perhaps. Chris has probably asked his Mom about being fat, and being the coddling bitch that she is, more than likely told him he was a slim and attractive young man (which he was... relatively speaking).
Denial
Chris has always been in denial about his weight. A white knight at one point told him that he needed to lose some weight if he ever wanted to get a girlfriend. Chris responded by freaking out and exclaiming that he wasn't fat. In IRC, Chris has been known to become very defensive about his weight, always making claims that he works out, when in fact, he just stands up while playing Guitar Hero. Chris's reaction to being called fat is precisely the same reaction to being called gay. He simply screams that he isn't fat, then often times lies, and calls the person accusing him fat. He also exhibited this behavior during an email with Evan. The fact is, Chris has been spoiled so much by his mother, told that he was perfect and muscular so much, that he believes that when he looks in a mirror, he sees a six-pack, whereas the rest of us see what can make GodJesus cry.
