It's interesting comparing my class photos from the 1970s to my kids class photos from the 1990s and 2000s. The kids who were considered "fat" when I was in high school would barely qualify as overweight these day and there weren't many of them. My kids' class photos show half the class as being obese/morbidly obese.

My aunt is a nurse who used to work with patients like this, and let me tell you "tantrums" is not the word you are looking for.

These people go into full-on meltdowns when it appears they are not going to get the food they want. They get verbally abusive, even violent if enough time passes. They throw poo poo. They loving poo poo the bed on purpose. They force themselves to vomit in an attempt to feign some starvation related illness. Some of them even self-harm and threaten suicide as a bizarre hostage tactic.

Yeah, following the links in the youtubes shows this guy to be hella manipulative and his dad's not much better. Maybe it started out as genuine attempts to get his son help, but now it just seems to be a cash grab. I can understand why Biggest Loser and other reality series rejected him.

Complete inactivity is a good way to pile on the pounds.
Here's a strongman who eats 20,000 calories a day and only weighs a svelte 400lbs. I guess working out like crazy uses a bit of energy.

From what I read following the youtube links, he was in the 500s when he was on Dr Phil. He seems to have a habit of making dramatic public appeals for help and then not utilising it when it's given. How many times do you offer the same non-compliant person help before you put them at the bottom of the list and move on to someone who might actually utilise the help.

Dear lord he's got a lot of rear end-patters on his FB page. Some unintended comedy too, especially the request to "respect my privacy" while he's milking the media attention for all it's worth.

When I heard this story I figured the facility "fired the patient" (and yes people, that can happen if the patient is repeatedly noncompliant and otherwise awful) because while this jerk is having his brand of heroin snuck into rehab there are others like him willing to take responsibility for their problem wishing for the opportunities he's selfishly squandered.

For all the "eww lol fats" posts this jerk is a reason why it makes it that much harder for the morbidly obese to be considered "worthy" of social help with the accompanying mental and emotional problems that led them to food addiction to begin with. His usernames reflect "fat boy" or something similar and it's obvious he's also addicted to the validation he gets from YT "fame." I mean, he made a video from the hospital ER he was brought to yesterday as this story started getting wider attention! The whole situation is sad all around given the enabling father and non-present mom (unsure why that is); even if his addiction and attitude were caused by his parents, he's the one who can choose to get well - physically and mentally, because this already demonstrates the physical part won't happen without the mental.

He lost 20 pounds in 80 days, meanwhile I have a coworker who had the whole "I played football then packed on a bit of pudge" look who lost about a pound a day for a couple weeks when he started a low carb diet starting in the low 200s. It's pretty obvious this guy was actively sabotaging his treatment and at a certain point it just becomes a waste of human resources, what are you going to do shackle him to a bed and forbid communication with anyone outside of hospital staff?

Your mate could probably walk around.
Sitting in a bed isn't exactly going to strip off the kilos.

The weight losses he's posted on his FB page add up to more than 20 pounds since the beginning of September. One week alone he claimed a loss of 15 pounds. He also referred to the pizza as his "cheat meal", though, and it sounds like he felt entitled to a "cheat meal" every time a loss was recorded.

Honestly, it seems a lot like this guy is angling for his own reality TV show where all the help comes to him on his terms and he gets a nice pay cheque to boot. He had a gofundme for bariatric surgery going for a while as well. The more I read about him, the less I feel any sympathy for him.

The behaviour of an addict.

On an unrelated note, imagine you have so many skin rolls that when you take a dump, you cannot predict where the turd will pop out. like *ungg, phew, now we play the waiting game* as the turd snakes its way through the maze of skin folds to eventually pop out of a neck fold 2 days later.

The father doesn't look bad. Not sure how tall he is but he doesn't match my definition of "obese". He does look extremely tired, though. And who could blame him.

It's somewhat his own fault for giving in to his son. At the same time, listening to him talk about worrying he'll get evicted is heartbreaking. I would probably attempt to illegally confine my son and force diet restrictions. I think I'd rather to I jail for trying to help than literally kill my child with food.

People get eating addictions because of massive marketing campaigns that permeate every moment of their lives from literally the day they're born, and because processed food is designed to be addictive. Like dangerous drug level addictive.

This is a cultural, political and economic issue, not a matter of personal willpower.

Dad seems to like the media attention almost as much as kiddo and acts a lot like a stage mum. Mum's in quite a few of the youtubes and clearly indulges him too but doesn't seem to be much of a publicity seeker. Dad's current thing seems to be trying to get someone to get them a new house. He's saying kiddo can't go back to living alone because he'll go back to his old eating habits, ignoring the fact that kiddo kept gaining weight while living with dad too.

Kind of shocked I couldn't find an ED page for this lot. They're worthy of one.
