Au contraire. I stopped eating in 1986 and now I've conquered food completely.

The subject of the TLC show “The World’s Fattest Man” is fleeing the US for Britain — for an estimated $137,000 in free health care.
Paul Mason, who weighed almost 1,000 pounds before having gastric band surgery in 2009, has been almost constantly hospitalized in Athol, Massachusetts, after starting to regain weight after a bad breakup.

“We all fall apart when things get tough. Doing it over here in America has been the worst thing I could have done because there’s no support. But there is in the UK,” he told The Sun.
Comparing binge-eating to having an orgasm, Paul told the paper, “You don’t choose this lifestyle. The addiction never goes away. You don’t conquer it. You can just keep it at bay.”
Paul, 58, who now weighs more than 500 pounds from a low of 275, told The Sun that he needs surgery to replace his knees, repair eight stomach hernias and adjust his bypass.

But Paul insisted he was not a freeloader.
“I can understand people in Britain saying, ‘Why should my tax pay for him?’” he said. “But I’m no sponger — I deserve it as much as any Brit.”
FAKE NEWS
He moved to the US only in 2014 for a surgury.
The Sun says his move will also mean avoiding legal problems over an unpaid $250 fine for stealing $1,000 in food.
Yeah he’s delusional. They will make him lose weight before they do anything else
He will likely die in the UK, thanks to their “free” healthcare system.
the fact that body trimming is not part of the process is a sin. These people carry fify plus pounds of hanging flesh.
“The addiction never goes away. You don’t conquer it. You can just keep it at bay.”
Therefore get up in the morning, go to work and give me your money.
HAHAHAHA.
Want joint replacement surgery in the UK?
Take a number. AFTER you stop being morbidly obese. Because the NHS will not do the surgery on fatties.
If I only had half that discipline.
My wife’s best friend’s husband needed a liver transplant but they wouldn’t put him on the list unless he went to a gym that was an hour each way from their house and got to a certain weight. They couldn’t afford the gas for all the required commuting and he died from liver failure. This was in North Carolina and Medicare.
If you think American government health care doesn’t have rules like the NHS you’re mistaken.
What should Medicare have done?
Paul Mason? What about 2 Buck Chuck?
Now, THIS is the story I want to read about.
I’m sorry, but I’m stuck on this guy being from or moving to Athol. If you live in these parts you see RatholE.
So which is it? Is he from Rathole or did he move there from the UK?
Exactly.
He moved here from the UK to MASS for the freebies and Romneycare 5 years ago. Now he’s moving back to the UK. Fake news.
Who’s paying for the cargo plane to fly him to England?
