Really sad story, and familiar to a lot of us, though usually not so extreme.
This poor guy weighed 650lbs, took it off, and is morbidly obese again.

It was a special on TLC years ago, which I watched... So sad to see this.0

I saw that on the one of the entertainment shows last night. Very sad.0

It's clear he needs to seek some kind of therapy for his food addiction. I hope he does that this time for his own sake.0

It just goes to show that getting skinny or "hot" isn't going to make it all better. You have to learn to love yourself no matter what. If you can't fight your inner demons they'll take over.0

Being sucessful at losing weight is not just taking the pounds off but liking the new person you've become. When the scales say the number you've always wanted, you still have a lifetime of healthy living to work on every day. It's really sad for him and a warning for all of us MFPs.0

Wow I remember this story, so sad!!! I believe he is friends with Chris Powell - the trainer who is now transforming lives on extreme makeover weight loss. Chris has my heart because you can clearly tell that he see's the people for people and he knows the journey and how hard it is...0

this is literally heart breaking.........0

I hope he can get this under control again. But this could be a cautionary tale for all of us - that the challenges don't necessarily end when we finally hit our goal weight.0

I was so rooting for him when I first watched his transformation. I hope he is able to lose it again and keep it off this time.0

wow, that's so sad0

I cried as I watched the news segment last night. So sad to hear his story. He just couldn't cope with being a handsome young man. I hope he can get the help he needs to get "rid" of it, and not just lose it to find it again. It was nice to see that his girlfriend is sticking with him thru this.0

Not implausible though. The last thing he said makes a lot of sense. You need to build up your inside before you can build up your outside. If you're not ready for it emotionally then it's not something you can maintain physically. Mindset is a huge part of it. He was under a lot of pressure. I'm just glad he's going to try again. Sucks about the excess skin though.0

Get your mind in the game and the body will follow0

Kudos to his girlfriend for sticking by him! Not many people these days would have done that.0

I watched this special years ago... very depressing to see this.0

It is a shame. He probably is an emotional eater. In addition, his problems within were not fixed after he lost the weight. Thus, he gained over half his weight back.0
