The Half Ton Man!!!

[LOVElife]

Alright People,

Just wondering if anybody watched the programme on Channel Four last night? Patrick Deuel, 42, from America, was admitted to the hospital on June 4, he weighed 1,072 pounds (78st). He had been bedridden for a year, had trouble breathing and was malnourished because so many of his calories came from foods high in fat and carbohydrates.

His "Wife", was his biggest hinderance, well besides his waistline, but she just stuffed him full of shit.

UNFORTUNATELY I have been unable to get the picture where they pull him out of the bed, at his max weight he was 7 FEET WIDE!

It was one of the worst sites Ive ever seen when he was lying in bed, just looking Fat and Shit!

These pictures actually don't show the extent of his size when he was at his biggest!

Hes only 36 stone in these pics so think of the difference!

Peace :thumbsup:

[robert42]

YEA I SAW IT WTF HE WAS FUCKED

I THOUGHT IT WAS A BLOB U HAD TO FOCUS TO ACTUALLY NOTICE HE WAS A HUMAN

[tilt]

I saw that a while ago on discovery health. I cannot believe that people let themselves get like that. It is disgusting and sad

[LOVElife]

Fuckin right, at first when I seen him I couldn't see where his head was.

APPARENTLY HE WAS CARRYING 220LBS OF WATER!!

His weight was that of THREE BABY ELEPHANTS

[SensiRide]

Yes I saw it, its disgusting, nobody should ever let themselves get in that state. His wife is just as bad for encouraging it. He is going to end up on his deathbed very soon if changes arent made.

Robert - check your mail, the delivery failed, the post office have the package I sent you DOH!

[robert42]

[LOVElife]

Drugs in the mail, eeeeeeeeesssshhhhh!!!

[robert42]

No its not drugs in the mail

im sending her fertile sperm, were have a baby from a distance

[SensiRide]

No probs :) I put a little note in it for you, email me when you get it ok! I'm going to test one in about an hours time :dance:

OK, back to fat man - its mostly Americans who get in this state, I can kind of understand why - when I went to Florida, the portions were HUGE even by my standards. I mean, imagine the strain that amount of weight puts on your heart and other vital organs, shit, I'd be scared to go to sleep incase I didnt wake up in the morning.

There was this other thing on a few weeks ago about a woman that was so fat, she didnt get off her sofa for 18 years and when she had heart problems and had to go to hospital, they had to take half of her house away, lift her AND the sofa out using a crane, THEN when they got to the hospital, they found that her skin had actually merged with the fabric of the couch and they had to use a scapel thing to seperate the two of them! Not to mention all the piss/shit & sweetie wrappers they found under her couch :eek:


Edit - I'm going to test that sperm in an hours time :dance:

[friendowl]

that fat man sure is fat.
i wonder if you put him on his back if he could get up or just stay there being fat.
he probobly got some bomb ass munchies.
my friends dad is a vietnam vet.hes a straight killer.hes fat like that.he gets a whole package of oreos and a gallon of milk and dunks and dips and just has a great old time.its gross to see but whatever thats his life.
and he hasnt seen his own dick for many moons

[WakingDream]

That's the guy who when he loses enough weight to walk he is like "Its the genetics" as he is holding a box of cerial. In the background you can see two computers with recliners set up for him and his wife.


Genetics don't make you live in bed for years and eat a shitload of food.

[Shelbay]

There are many fat people but I think this man qualifies for the word obese. I think the majority here in the States that get to this point are sad but the way children in this country are being raised and have been for the past 20 years now are to blame. Seriously..I am 41 and more active than my neighbors teens! They have no chores..no HEALTHY meals (mickey d's for them) and love sugar highs! I see alot of obese kids and that is sad! Have you ever seen a 10 year old that weighs over 200 lbs?! Look at the stats for diabetes in NY..it is out of control because of their diets! Anyways..sorry for the rant but I get accused all the time of doing "speed" because I am thin..I don't do anything but MJ..I just was raised without sugar and taught the importance of being active. I really don't see how that man s heart is still going!

[DirkZooDiggler]

Fat people are gross...and they always smell like tacos.

[SensiRide]

Genetics don't make you live in bed for years and eat a shitload of food.

All this stuff about genetics is bullshit, you dont see starving people in 3rd world countries who are fat because of genetics, its just a lame excuse.

[DirkZooDiggler]

Do you guys have Hardees/Carl's Jr. in the UK....probably not. Check this out...this is one of their most popular sandwiches. "The "Monster Thickburger" â?? two 1/3-pound slabs of Angus beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun" 1,420 calories....and that is without the fries and soda that it comes with.

The bread has freakin butter on it!!!

[WakingDream]

I'm not saying genetics are bullshit. Just a few days ago on the news I saw two rats, one had a SINGLE gene altered and it ate the same ammount of food as the test rat and it was huge.

[Harvesthetic]

:( hey he ate himself to death on high-fat/sugar foods, putting himself in grave risk.

and they're taxing us on cigarettes only??

[Harvesthetic]

All this stuff about genetics is bullshit, you dont see starving people in 3rd world countries who are fat because of genetics, its just a lame excuse.
yeah! What's all that fuss against people who use genetically modified food to feed the hungry! greenpeace & fema are WRONG on this one..

Genetically altered crops produce up to 120 % more! And all that paranoia about eating genetically modified food is BullShit!

nature evolves too, genetically :confused:

check out Penn & Teller's episode on this subject, they did a great job.

[DirkZooDiggler]

Heres a pic...

[lemonboy]

The people that pretend to be offended by scenes of the obese are genuinely hilarious. Thank you, stupid people of the world, for bringing a smile to my face day after day.

[Syrus]

I understand peopel who are naturally fatter than other peopel but theres no excuse to be that fat.

[Easy Roller]

That disgusting slob should have been put to sleep and had his parts given to a third world charity as mystery food...could have fed a small village for a few seasons!

My thing is seeing children that eventually could be like this and it could be prevented. I guess like with your teeth..preventive maintenance..obesity is helping to drive health care costs through the roof. Even away from the congestive heart failure I am sure this man is coping with...look at diabetes,amputations etc...and it leads to living off a disability check...more taxpayers money. I would not laugh at another human being for the way they look but making excuses does not address the problem in this country either. Yes I am disgusted when I see my neighbors work 2 jobs and their lazy,fat kids can't even walk the garbage to the dumpster..I see Dad doing it when he gets in late in the evening! The way Americans eat are a problem.

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

He was fucked up, you think there'd come a point where the person feeding him would say "Mate, actually you're getting a bit fat, so I won't bring you as much food, ya fat cunt!" lol :D

[Nochowderforyou]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]

Hey man, all I know is that he didn't have to get out of bed to go to the bathroom. To me, that's beautiful ;)

[Prozac fairy]

I wash myself with a rag on a stick.......due to obeasity

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

Hey man, all I know is that he didn't have to get out of bed to go to the bathroom. To me, that's beautiful ;)

That would be a big upside to it, I hate having to get up to go to the toilet, I have much more important things to be doing than going for a slash.

The way Americans eat are a problem.I just can't look at a person who is that overweight and attribute their problems to food and a simple lack of exercise. That may have been what sent them down that road but something else kept them there. I think the way American's are eating is changing pretty quickly though, especially in young people who care about their image. The low-carb revolution has helped remove a lot of excess sugar from our everyday foods and we are ingesting a lot more whole-grain than in recent years. I see this boom in whole foods continuing because at the end of the day they really do taste better and are more satisfying.

I've had a weight problem for most of my life. I've never been one to snack or eat a lot of junk food but I was just inactive. When I was a kid my parents got divorced, I became quiet and introverted, and stopped playing with kids. Getting fat was a result of these things. It became a lasting problem that seemed to be both the cause and the result as I got older. Putting me on a diet and forcing me to run around the house a couple of times a day would have probably done a lot of good, but they wouldn't have cured the unhappy child underneath the flab.

I'm comfortable saying those things because things are much different for me now. After dealing with my internal issues I've been able to lose weight pretty easily. From my experience, weight loss completely boils down to personal commitment. You can go through the motions and count all the calories, carbs, and fat grams you want but until you decide you are going to lose weight at the very core of who you are, it isn't going to happen.

I've lost over 80lbs since last January. I never, ever over eat and I drink a lot of water. I pay a lot of attention to my blood sugar and keep it level by eating more frequently and in smaller portions. I don't sit on my ass all day when I have free time. It's just become my lifestyle now and while I've read a lot I'm not following a specific program.

For parents it is important not to be an enabler when it comes to obesity. Raise kids with whole foods and just don't keep the other stuff stocked. Give them the ability to make choices so when they are away from the house they will be more apt to make good ones. Kid's don't belong on diets and exercise regimens though. If that is what is required to keep their weight in check then consider the probability that the excess weight is a symptom of a more serious issue.

I'm finally starting to blend into the skinny crowd and it's great but it's not because I just started eating salads and running 10 miles every morning. Not everyone's body falls into the one-size-fits-all mentality afforded as a luxury to the naturally skinny. Anyone who has ever lost a significant amount of weight knows this.

[mellow mood]

this is gross

First off, nice post, and I totally understand where you're coming from. Glad to hear you actually took affirmative action instead of denying the real issue and staying at level zero. Kids don't belong on diets for sure! It's not their problem, children need to undergo passively the full package of society, and they do respresent the future.
It our responsability to monitor the general level of health. And when we notice extreme increases in several specific components of daily nutrients like today, we must take action. I mean, genetically, there will always the fat one, like there always be the skinny one, the ugly one, the small & tall.
Denying the essence of the problem doesn't get us anywhere. Even our governments, who can't be trusted, are releasing the bare numbers. In the streets, in the charts, in the books, in the pictures... Children / people are getting heavier. And even more so, we can reasonably assume that that is the result of a whole lot of different factors. We get such an amount of things lunged at our heads, because of an incredible increase in information we don't see what is obvious. It's the combination that does it.
Bad exercise (i know, it sounds rough but it's proven! americans take less than 5000 steps a day, this is not an overstatement or an exaggeration. just the way it is.)
Bad food (does this need to be clarified? We see it ourselves, i'm always prone to eat the less healthy things, and sometimes we indulge.)
Eating bad & a lot (everybody's allowed to a treat sometimes, but in my opinion, and i say each his own, but not at his own risk. eating too much is an addiction. chocolate is proven to be an addiction. fast food has a lot of addictive things in it, also proven, sorry to say, it's so tasty though)
So called health food. (sigh.. this is hard to try to convince people of. most health food is a joke. most yoghurt drinks contain as much sugar as a coke bottle, sry man this sounds soo passé too, but it's a fact, and it does not cease to exist right, and of course, wholegrain is great.. but not with extra double cream crunch caramel cover right? and so on. they just make more money selling more, i've read that somewhere in your posts, no?)
I know these bold things again come over as a preaching about obesity, how I try, over and over again, i'm sounding like a preacher man, I hate it, again, to each his own, not at his own risk though :( I mean come on, after carefull consideration of these things we could conclude there's a problem right? I hold the governments responsible, and myself to do something about it. And i will try, i swear. Apart from that sry for the long reply, but I'm trying, right? :)
cheers, and good luck doin' great & love the posts

Good post lemonboy but one thing we disagree on is the kids needing a diet and exercise. I have yet to see one fit child in this neighborhood..literally. What are the more serious issues with todays children? I may be wrong but my opinion right now is that the majority I have interaction with are spoiled fat brats and thats not me being cruel but truthful. I wouldn't advise eating only salads and running 10 miles a day (extreme) but working greens into your habits every day and taking a healthy walk that is longer than from the couch back to the t.v. wouldn't hurt right? Congratulations on your weight loss...quite an accomplishment...:thumbsup: And I buy the blue lid yoplait yogurt,the good yogurt...so yes it is about information but eventually an individual has to accept their problems and fix them or at least learn to deal with them in a positive manner so the end result is not destroying yourself. I do enjoy your posts most of the time and this was one of the better ones imo.

[MARI. F.U.C.K.E.D.]

hey!
what a fat git!
his wife said he needed chips, gee she was helpfull!!
she sweated loads, smelly chip fat lady.
anyway what i really want to know is they said when they took him to the hospital they found shit under his finger nails... HE COULDN'T REACH HIS FUCKING ARSE!!!!
how was that?
god im stoned!!!

[lemonboy]

I'm not sure we disagree altogether. I do think kids need diet and exercise, just not dictated regimens. Ideally the whole family unit would observe healthy eating habits. Families should eat at home and cook together. You see, when I say weight is a manifestation of a larger problem it can be so many things. A breakdown of discipline is certainly one of them but it's not the child's fault that it occurs. To a certain age of course. I'm talking about kid kids here.

Back where I come from Jonas Salk was a hero...these days its Hollywood and the physically beautiful so I guess it would be self doubt for children these days. When it comes to kids I am totally in the dark about their ways sometimes...is it really that difficult on children these days? What could make a man resort to inflicting pain on himself like this? And something else...as I am sure you are finding out...when you are physically attractive by societys standards..most of the time you are also more successful yes? Not saying its right but just truth?

[halo]

He was fucked up, you think there'd come a point where the person feeding him would say "Mate, actually you're getting a bit fat, so I won't bring you as much food, ya fat cunt!" lol :D


Yah whats he gonna do? Chase her around the house until she feeds him?

Not saying its right but just truth?I have a younger sister but she is starting to get past the age I'm talking about. I don't think kids have it any easier than adults in terms of problems and stresses. As we get older our world gets bigger and our problems become less juvenile but that doesn't make them any less taxing on the soul. I think an enormous amount of stress is placed on the American child to perform well because this is how we measure our kids in everything they do. Not to mention the countless individuals exposed to all kids of abuse, be it mental or physical. These scars eventually show.

People do treat me differently from when I was really overweight. People I don't know seek me out to include me in their conversations. Which I guess is a fancy way of saying, strangers might go out of their way to talk/joke/flirt with me now. I don't think all people have a fear of fat people or anything but I think it's probably just human nature. As for being more successful, again I think it's being able to form these initial connections with people quicker.
