We all have friends and family who are overweight/obese, so obviously none of us are judging Christie for being obese. That said, why is Christie obese? Does he have a metabolic disorder? What kind of lifestyle does he lead?

These are questions that will come up if he runs, so I am looking for facts and/or speculation.

Serious answer: Because he eats more calories than he burns.

I'm not a fan of his, but really a low blow to trash his weight.  Many people in this country struggle with weight issues -- Jon Corzine tried to pull this and it backfired.

To look good in media, most men jog. He has chosen not and that is okay.

Because his body has an additional storage of lipids that skinnier people lack.

He eats because he is sad and he is sad because he eats. It's an infinite cycle!

A more helpful question might be if he was always obese (going from being "the fat kid" growing up to being a fat man) or if he gained the weight later in life.

Most men develop somewhat of a paunch as they age, but I don't see how you could get Christie-sized if you weren't already overweight early in life.

I don't think so. A lot of people, in fact I'd say the majority in the country don't do sufficient exercise (due to work, laziness, time etc etc) and they don't end up as bloated as Christie. At worst you'll become slightly overweight and develop a bit of a stomach, in the same bracket as a Jon Tester or a Mark Pryor.

Christie is morbidly obese. You can't simply attribute that to not jogging enough. The man simply eats way too much junk food, more than the average man and has no self control over his eating habits. It's the only way you can end up that humongous.

Anyway unless he suddenly gets a health scare in the next three years I don't think it'll become an issue in his inevitable campaign for president.

probably because listening to dietitians, personal trainers, etc. would require some degree of humility and self restraint. someone as arrogant and overbearing as christie is obviously loathe to take orders from anyone. it's obviously not because he lacks the means or time to get in shape.

Intaking more calories than burning leads to gaining weight.  Secondly, it's probably a lack of self control.
