1,000 pound man on the Dr. Phil show tomorrow.

I saw a post about the half ton man on some other show so I thought people might be interested in this one.

The guy eats a family size chicken meal by himself, a dozen donuts at once, etc.

It said that his mom bribes him with food to make him stay home because she's embarassed to have him go out in public.

It showed him crying and saying. "I just want to be normal."

It looks like it'll be an interesting show. Too bad I'll be at work.

That is the REAL sad part. The fact that his mother is ashamed of him!! Makes me want to cry!

I'm not sure I could bear to watch this! I'd want to slap his mother!

I saw clips of him last night and he was enormous. His Mom and some of his friends are his "enablers" and bring him food, like donuts, pizza, etc, etc, etc.

They said that if he didn't take drastic measures right now, that in 6 months he would be dead and that it was a miracle that his lungs were still working....

yikes

I have already written him a letter of support on the Dr. Phil BB. My heart breaks for him.

There, but for the grace of God and Dr. Atkins, go I!
