Minor confession: I’ve been rooting for Patrick Deuel since I saw his special on TLC (or whichever Discovery spawn it was), even though the guy’s kind of an asshole. They were talking about how he got to weigh 1,000 pounds in the first place, and he said it was because he was going to eat whatever the hell he wanted and if he didn’t get it he was going to chase you down! (Stop laughing!) And then they asked his wife how much he eats and she was like, “I dunno…” and there were piles of frozen pizza boxes in the background… But damnit, I wanted the guy to lose the weight. But now he’s regained over 100 pounds from his low of 370, and gee, I wonder why…

Deuel acknowledges willpower is not his forte. To the chagrin of his wife and Harris, he still smokes a pack and a half of cigarettes a day. He also has a weakness for chips and salsa.

“I notice that stress eating is something I do well,” he said.

[...]

Running errands, cleaning house and helping his wife find a job occupies much of his time, he said. As for his diet, he said: “Whatever’s in the refrigerator is what gets put in the tank.”

…yeah. I hate to say it, but I kinda see another fire department rescue operation in this guy’s future. GJ losing 700 pounds, though… :???:
