Due to various factors (location, field, etc.), this is the first time I've shared an office with someone who is obese. It's been eye-opening to say the least.
He always goes out for lunch, and when he comes back, it's with a giant sized soda. Even though he's mostly done with the soda, he keeps slurping with the straw and chewing on the ice (distracting). I've actually never seen him eat but every now and then, I notice things like a box of double stuffed oreos in his trash can.
Interesting...

He keeps his Oreos in his trashcan?

It's where I keep mine
Do you ever engage this person in conversation?
sounds like a perfect office buddy to me, assuming he doesn't hoard the oreos
You discovered a fat person who consumes a lot of calories, and you find that "eye opening"?

Be much better if he had Chips Ahoy.
You are an idiot.

Sounds like he does hoard them
I smile at him every morning or nod, but he doesn't say hi/talk at all... so we barely talk except for the first day when we met.
Also obviously I meant I see empty boxes of Oreos in his trash can...
Because of where I've lived, it's actually rare that I see an obese person on a regular basis.
Funny thing is... his high school PRs are better than yours.

Fat people eat a lot; are you just learning that? Hopefully in time you learn something really interesting about your office mate and/or discover that he is a nice person.
Eh I smile at him or say hi every morning and he doesn't say anything back. We don't really talk.
Yeah I know fat people eat a lot but it's interesting because I never see him eat, only the traces.
Make sure you hide your celery, steel cut oatmeal snacks and Greek yogurt. Fat people like that kind of food too. (especially after they have eaten all the oreos)

Wow! What a sense off superiority you must feel.

I've known (or at least been around) a number of obese people in my life. It's actually pretty common to almost never see them eat. They tend to be very ashamed of their eating, and they eat a lot, so they try to eat in privacy. I knew one guy who could not stop once he started, so even at company dinners where the whole point was to eat, he would just sit there and not eat anything because if he started, he would start wolfing down food like the psychologically damaged animal he was (fat people are usually survivors of childhood abuse).
Anyway, I'm attracted to slightly thicker girls (not obese by any means), but I find I am often repulsed even by their habits. For most health conscious people, seeing overweight people impulsively stuff their face with garbage 10X/day is sad and vomit-inducing. I realize they're struggling, but it is difficult for me to wrap my mind around how much crap obese people consume. It's a full-time job. Food is on their mind literally every waking minute.
Try to have some compassion. These people are addicts trying to self-medicate. Some people use alcohol, others drugs, others exercise, and others food.
