Quote:It runs on my Dad's side as well but 1,000lbs I just don't know how that happens?

 

Eat a bag of potato chips, and that's 1500 calories right there.


1680 calories for half a gallon of ice cream.

 

And that's just two snacks for someone who's probably depression eating.  Couple that with probably sitting around all the time. Losing weight is hard to do even if you do exercise, it's much harder when you don't..  My wife's been trying to get me to do yoga with her (which she started back up to lose the pregnancy weight and has since continued it).  You have to keep it up, and you have to enjoy it.  I imagine Mr. Butler probably doesn't enjoy any exercise at his size.  Even something as simple as walking fifty feet is likely a huge strain for him.
