Brookhaven Obesity Clinic

I was up today watching tv.  There was a show that caught my eye.  Its on Discovery Health Channel called, "Inside Brookhaven Obesity Clinic."  Man oh man!  I couldn't turn this off. 

I did not laugh but was amazed at how addictive food can be for some people.  There is a guy and his leg looks like the picture here.  He needs surgery to get it removed.  But because he is so over weight (almost 600lbs.)  He can't get it. All he has to do is loose weight.  This guy’s leg is gross.  It's splitting open, sores all over it, and disgusting.  To make it even worse.. he continues to sneak food into the center.  He's been there like 3 years and hasn't lost any weight.  I mean give me a break!

He would rather get his leg amputated than loose the weight.  How sad is that?  Food is good but watching this show makes you really think twice before you eat anything.  One guy hasn't moved out of his bed in like 4 years.  He's got so much fat that is covers his vital organs.  YOU CAN’T EVEN SEE HIS ORGANS!!! 

You have to watch at least one episode of this show and let me know what you think!
