Eat your vegetables and exercise, a lot.

I was reading the news today and saw that an overweight man had to be taken to the hospital, on a flatbed truck - after he was taken from his bedroom by a forklift. Let's not forget that they draped a blue tarp over him to shield him from onlookers. OH, THE HUMILITY!!!

(I mean, yea, he has an illness so overeatting is beyond his control... but still - overeat some carrots and take a walk around the block. (yes, I am a jerk -- but 900lbs at 33 years??))

Hmmm. Remind me to skip my burger at lunch and reach for a salad instead - !!

Forklift Removes 900-Pound Man From Home

LANSING, Mich. — Firefighters cut a hole in the side of a house and used a forklift to extricate a 900-pound man from his second-floor bedroom after a visiting nurse became worried about his health.

Rescue workers were called in Tuesday by the nurse, who determined the 33-year-old man needed medical help, Fire Chief Tom Cochran said.

Cochran said the man had not left his home since 2003.

The man's brother, who lives with him, said he suffers from Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that creates a chronic hunger feeling that can lead to overeating and life-threatening obesity.

Rescue workers brought in a forklift, high enough to raise a platform to a hole cut into the wall of the house. They covered the man with a blue tarp to shield him from onlookers and slid the platform onto a flatbed truck for a trip to Sparrow Hospital.
