Former World's Fattest Man Finds Love

    He was once the world's fattest man weighing in at an incredible 980 pounds and consuming 20,000 calories (卡路里) a day. But it seems that after losing 672 pounds following a surgery, it's not just Paul Mason's health that has a more promising —his weight loss may have also promoted his love life.

    Mr. Mason has only known his new girlfriend Rebecca for a month and the pair are yet to meet, but already the 52-year old has that Rebecca is the love of his life. The pair met online last month when Rebecca saw a television about Mr. Mason's extreme fatness—the result of overeating when a previous relationship ended. She was so touched by his situation as to get in touch, keen to help Mr. Mason get the NHS (National Health Service) to pay for a second operation to him of layers of extra skin.

    Mr. Mason said: "She didn't really think of anything at the beginning. It wasn't until the second conversation that I realised there was more there than just friends. She felt the same and brought up the idea of us being boyfriend and girlfriend."

    Mr. Mason says that he doesn't go for looks and finds Rebecca's attitude particularly attractive. "It is her personality, her and passion that has made me fall for her. We share the same ideas and interests and she has made me look at life in a new way. For a long time I couldn't really see light at the end of the tunnel, but since Rebecca's been in my life I've got a whole new of worth and excitement."

    Mr. Mason to his incredible size by eating ten times the amount needed by a normal man due to a compulsive eating disorder. As his weight rose sharply he was left unable to stand or walk before finally becoming bed-ridden and being looked after full time by carers.

    Firefighters had to knock down the front wall of his home so they could use a fork lift truck to lift him out and put him into an ambulance when he needed an operation in 2002.
