Knowing this is baffling - often fat parents have fat kids and skinny parents have skinny kids. For your parents to be high level athletes and you to be, well, like he was - speaks to some pretty deep seated psychological issues with food. Either his mother plied him with food for some reason or he did it himself. Either way, as others have pointed out, this kid needs therapy a lot more than he needs skin removal surgery.Where are his parents in all of this?! His family are big body builders, his father and brother award winning and champions in the field! I feel Jack felt left behind and instead ate what they were eating as it is 1000's of calories a day and didn't exercise, he got to as fat as he was and he didn't fit in.
I have nothing but compassion for people who have developed bad mental relationships with food - but I have no sympathy at all for those that use it as a way to get money, to make other people feel guilty, to attention seek etc.
Get some therapy, lad!
