The 1000 pound kid on Dr. Phil

[watermock]

I haven't seen it yet, but this is sad yet amusing. When your kid hits 500 you might want to get him to a doctor. I hate Dr. Phil.

[Sir Mawn]

you racked up another 600 posts in like 3 days. amazing.

At nearly 1,000 pounds, he is too big to bathe himself, dress himself, or use the bathroom without assistance. His mother, Loretta, is terrified he will die if drastic measures aren’t taken. Has she been enabling his eating habits? Share your thoughts.

I'd buy him a helper monkey cuz i am not helping a 1000 pounder take a dump...http://www.kottke.org/plus/misc/images/helpermonkey.jpg

[watermock]

I never watch Dr. Phil but I stumbled onto it and it's sad to say the least...this kid doesn't need jokes, he needs help. I don't know if Dr. Phil, a psudo-shrink on TV is the right guy, but the kid needs help to get his self esteem established.

[Popps]

Here, I felt bad about putting on a few cookie pounds over the holidays.

What a sad situation. Someone should have stepped in a long time ago. Poor kid.

[freak6]

He's 34!!!!

He ain't no kid. He is gonna have some major left over skin if he loses half that weight.

I'm off to the beach to run a few miles now... That fatty motivates me!!!

[Swedish Extrovert]

What a disgusting retard. I hate people with no self-control. I hate Doctor Phil too. People wonder why other hate America...

And it's not even an issue of being fat. A little meat on a person bones is fine, but when you're this disgustingly obiece it means you either have a health condition.... or you are a disgusting, selfish, worthless pig with noe self control.

[Swedish Extrovert]

OH and I agree that someone should have stepped in, but I dont see the kid as much of a victum

[smalltowngrll]

His friends and his mother enable him. They bring him tons of food. He is actually addicted to that food to the point where it "HURTS" if he doesn't have what his body craves! It is a VERY sad situation. His mother used to bribe him with food so that she didn't have to be seen out in public with him! She should be arrested for child abuse in my book. Overfeeding your kid to the point of putting their life in danger is just the same as starving them!

As far as the extra skin is concerned...if he does lose the weight he could have surgery to "tuck" the skin.

[freak6]

I watch to much discover and TLC I guess, but I saw this fatty lose a ton of weight, and the surgery to take off the extra skin nearly killed her. I just hope he loses the weight so he can regain some of his life. They can't even do a surgery on him (I am pretty sure) to make his stomach smaller, because he has so much fat to go through. I saw some kid on MTV that wanted to do it, but she was to fat also.

I agree with you, the mom should be prosecuted, that is bs.

Only in the USA.

Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll roll over on Dr. Phil during the show. He's the most pretentious person in the history of people, in my opinion.

First, maybe you were blessed with a home where you were trained in a "normal" way of life. You have no clue what it would be like to be raised in an environment where you were not taught to have that self control that you so graciously have.

Remember, the entire world doesn't think like you...at least someone is willing to step in and help. Obviously he knows he needs it, or he wouldn't have agreed to it. I'm sure he's well aware of disgrace he will face from those that refuse to at least TRY and understand!

Sorry Im not buying what your selling here. Are you going to tell me the kid never went to school and got picked on for being a lard??? You just cant possible think that at some point he did not realize "hey I should prolly stop shoveling crap into my face" Parents or not at some point he had to know that eating a McDonalds out of food was a bad thing.

Hotrod...I can understand all of that....but, realize that this story goes deeper than this kid just eating too much. His own mom admits to bribing him with LOTS of food so she could go do what she wanted and didn't have to take him with her. That shows me that this kid is dealing with more than just an appetite. This tells me that there is something much more involved here. I'm not, by any means, making excuses for it, but what I am doing is trying to understand what the issue really is!

Although Dr Phil is doing the story today, there was a precursor to the story on some show I watched last night that had more information on it. Yep...at first I couldn't understand how someone could let themselves get that way...(Probably because I'm so obsessive/compulsive) about my own weight...but, after hearing just a little bit about growing up...I chose to try and understand a bit more.

I totally disagree with that comment and it is not a matter of being insensitive b/c that is not the issue. The fact is someone ALLOWED this man to get that way. You can point fingers at his mother, father, lack thereof or whomever, but the fact is the child, now a 34 year old i believe is to blame. To ALLOW yourself to get that way is a shame and reflection of how you treat yourself. For goodness sakes it is YOUR body, try and keep it in some kind of decent shape. Its the only one you have.

Obviously we can go further into this, as this is an easily debatable topic, but c'mon, he allowed himself to get that way. We praise and admire bodies like Arnold, Jess Alba and fit celebrities, at least the ones who WORKEd for their bodies, and yet when someone's body goes in the opposite direction we are cynical if we do not feel bad for them?
That is dissheartening.

I hear you on Rush, but I would still argue that Dr. Phil soars even higher on the "Pretense-o-meter." I just can't stand him.

I can see your point that as a kid his mother was an idiot and caused him to eat like a freaking horse....BUT hes 34 years old you figure if he moved out of the house at 18 thats 16 years hes had to take a walk and start eating right. Its his own freaking fault that at the age of 34 hes still a tub of goo. Now if this was a 10 year old kid living at home then yes the parents can be held accountable but hes not hes his own person or as is in this case he's his own 10 people.

[smalltowngrll]

He never moved out of the house...he still lives under his monthers care.

Yea...as an adult...he is fully responisble for his actions...I agree. But, why would someone do this to themselves...sometimes I just don't understand.

I did not see the show. I guess he prolly cant move out in his condition. Just curious during the show did they ever refer to him as Bob, boob, bobsourinfodude, Gocheifs or make reference to his false love of the cheifs and the fact hes a closet Bronco fan???

[maven]

I wonder if he could eat 50 hot dogs in 10 minutes.

[Hotrod]

I wonder if he could eat 50 hot dogs in 10 minutes.

Im thinking that at 1000lbs you would have to eat atleast that much every 10 minutes just to maintain your figure :spit:

Ok that was wrong.

I want to know how much he weighed at five years old, ten years old. Maybe, at that point, I might see where you can hold the parents culpable. I think trying to prosecute parents in a case like this would be a slippery slope, though. A high percentage of the kids in this country are clinically obese. Are we going to look at all these households? There aren't enough social workers to go around to help children who are at immediate risk in truly dangerous homes.

He needs jokes like he needs a diet. Now that's a FAT BASTARD. Since he is probably bed ridden, I wouldnt feed that lard for 30 days except water, vegetables and a 1/2 a chicken for dinner. He has enough fat to keep him alive. I figure the 1/2 ton blob cant get up and walk so how will he retaliate? It is for his own good. I would get that Mom out of there. She is feeding this T Rex. Of course he lives with his Mom. 34 years old? Loser to start. That shirt he is wearing can shelter a Mexican family inTJ. Mexican family. That is at least 10 people. Watermock, he has self esteem. It is way LOOOOOOW. Lower than his gut hitting his knees. His skin probably weighs 100 pounds. Burn victims everywhere can benefit from his personal canvas. Serious though, I heard kids on the block love him. He provides shade for all the kids on the block during hot, summer days. I could go on but you get the point. Disgusting!

[watermock]

Well you can't use the chicken or the egg argument...he ate both of them.

He's been enabled, and I wouldn't make fun of him in his face, and he needs some help or will die. He said he had some incident in the bathroom and needed help...I mean...good grief guy...so he winds up on Dr. Phil...that's a genius...that's like asking Oprah how to lose weight.

[Dr. Broncenstein]

I usually have someone 600lbs plus in the hospital at any time. Today, as a matter of fact, I am doing an open tracheostomy on a 700 pounder. This person is literally so fat that she cannot breathe on her own.... and almost died because before she was intubated by anethesia with a fiberoptic bronchoscope in the ER.

Someone at home has to feed these people to get to these proportions. They cannot perform the simplest tasks and are essentially bedridden. There is always an enabling family member. I won't ever understand it.

Counterintuitively, they are always malnourished with almost no protein stores. Just imagine a tiny starving person under a mountain of useless empty calories.

So your saying that these mountains of goo are actually starving to death. Holy crap talk about irony :spit: Like I said before stop freaking eating. I dont care to hear of their "addiction" Ive had my share of them and yes they are a bitch to beat but you can if you want to. I would think at the age of 34 and you have to have your mother wipe your ass because your to fricking fat to do it yourself you might just might decide to lay off the fricking ice cream just a bit.

[Swedish Extrovert]

I guess I turned this into a political debate. Fact is, he is a fatass. Americans should start practicing more self-control. There are a lot of things we do right, and a lot of things we do wrong. And the root of all evil in the US is selfish, materialistic, fatasses like this repulsive piece of ****.

Oh yeah, and I say this with a nice piece of Cheddar Cheese in my mouth. But thats okay because I ran 3 miles this afternoon. I'm 5'9" 170.... with a 9.7% bodyfat last time I checked. I'd say thats healthy.

[watermock]

170 and 700 are two very different things, and I imagine you put on some muscle in the military. By the time your literally unable to go to the bathroom you have to seek help. And yes, there is usually an enabler.

Those Goldfinger comedies with Fat Bastard are funny, but it got a little serious when Fat Bastard said "I eat because I'm sad, and I'm sad because I eat. Then Fat Bastard tried to kill them again...but he was crying...

I think I remember you saying you were about 135-40 smurf. It's normal to put on some pounds as you mature and of course, they feed you pretty good to build stamina in the Military. Congrats again for making E-4.

First, your not in the trenches on that boat...who's running that barge? Clean it up. Second, MRI's aren't the cold C rations that WW2 or the freezing ground troops tried to unfreeze.

By "well" I basically mean your getting enough caloric intake to function properly, and it's heated...hell yes it's messhall slop...I understand. I never said your were at "Cafe Frogleg"....I bet the Russians and Germans starving at the eastern front wouldn't of complained...or the orphans....

I don't know alot about the military other than tactical and political matters, but I know that we try. If there is something specific, PM me and I will e-mail the white house...Bush works for me...
