The NHS should sue him instead. If he was there at 20 stone and they told him to exercise more, he clearly disregarded their advice, in which case they shouldn't be liable for anything. AND they should get the money back that he cost them so far.
I am trying to be empathic, especially because I'm a fat cow myself, but....I just can't. He's a grown man who is clever enough to milk the system for everything it has to offer (benefits etc.), and who is trying to make me believe that he ate himself to this unbelievable weight because of a 'broken heart'??
It's an excuse. Everything he says sounds like an excuse. 'I wanted to, BUT...', 'I should have, BUT...'. He knew what he was doing to himself, and decided to continue doing it. When he couldn't do it himself any more, he got others to do it for him.
That's the only point at which I think that somebody other than him has a responsibility - his feeders. Obviously his mother, who seemed to have financed his excessive eating, and anybody else who enabled him to keep eating while housebound.
Stuff like that makes me incredibly angry. There are people from all walks of life, with loads of problems that they have to deal with, and they all manage to work on themselves, exercise, change their lifestyle, do whatever it takes to get themselves back into shape and healthier. And a lot (probably most of them) have bigger problems they struggle with than being an idiot and falling for somebody who clearly just wanted a handyman.
That guy has brought everything onto himself, and he sits there, probably cashing in the cheques from the magazines he sold his story to, and he wants me to feel sorry for him? After stealing from people to feed his habit?
Sorry, but I don't think so.
