You guys ever think he actually had a medical problem besides eating krispy kremes for life? Most excessively obese eople dont eat themselves fat but had actual problems, probably like this dude, although i never researched him.

how do you get to 1200 lbs before you say "ok, time to make a change."

I think it's pretty much a disorder that needs medical/psychological help. No one will get that huge without either a medical condition (I've heard of freakishly slow metabolisms and other weird things) and/or a mental thing (eating disorder, addiction to food).

The better questions is how could his family and friends let him get anywhere near that big without forcing him to seek help. You can't get that big without enablers.

I saw on the news the other day some lady was so fat that she didn't realize she was pregnant until the day she gave birth. That day she complained of stomach pains and other pains etc. and went to the hospital and they said, "guess what you got a kid comin' out of ya!!"

I thought two things:

1) How unfortunate for the child since it didn't receive any pre-natal care.
2) The story just seemed way too impossible, not that she didn't realize she was pregnant but that some dude actually [censored] her.

For every woman we have a guy working on it - he may not be our best guy, he probably isnt the most attractive, or have the most money, but he is there for her.

That would be [censored] incredible if he got to 265. 30 more past that and he could genuinely do an advertisement saying "I lost a thousand pounds."

I guess we don't have to worry about him trying to cross the border.

But seriously, how has no one made a Mexican joke yet?

I don't understand people who gain weight while bedridden. Who was bringing him all the [censored] food?
