Real life is getting more like fiction each day

What am I watching right now?

TLC — The 750 Pound Man
The 750 Pound Man

Meet John Keitz. He has not left his bed in seven years because his legs simply cannot handle the weight of his massive body. He is severely, morbidly obese. Follow his journey as he tries to lose the weight that is slowly robbing him of his life.


I remember seeing John on The Insider a few months ago, and his story blew my mind. The guy was 100 pounds in the first grade!! How has it taken this long for someone to step in and help him? He clearly has some sort of medical problem, it's not like he just eats too much.

Oh... he died. That's sad.
