My typical day is the same over and over again.
I wake up, take my pills for my blood pressure,
diabetes, my gout.
I play video games or watch TV
and I get up, I get something to eat,
couple tortillas with butter, some cheese.
I probably eat about anywhere from a half pound
to a pound of cheese a day.
Salami and one or two Gatorades
and three or four Pepsis a day.
That would be the laundry basket where I'll keep
all my cookies, candy, and soda in.
I order DoorDash.
I get groceries delivered to the house
or my father picks it up.
Last night, I made myself
four hamburger and cheese burritos.
Not only am I embarrassed to go outside,
I'm scared to death if I lose my footing
and I end up on the ground.
Two years ago, his back gave out
and they had to have 10 firefighters carry him out.
I have to use a portable urinal
because I can't reach my private areas.
I have to use this to go to the bathroom in.
I don't bathe every day.
It's twice a week, but it was once every two weeks.
When I was in the 700s, I had to take a shower outside.
Even though it was embarrassing to bathe that way,
it still didn't stop me from finishing a whole pizza.

Well, it was no easy task getting David here
to Los Angeles.
He's unable to fly and says he can barely sit
for more than 15 minutes at a time.
His father had to drive a van with David reclining
on the front seat.
Now, his sister, Jen, who also struggles with her weight,
sat in the back.
(intense music)
I'm just nervous about people seeing me on the road.
If you look in the car and you see this fat guy,
people are going to be like, "Oh my God, look at that guy."
It just makes me want to hide.
(grunting)
It feels okay right now.
Okay.
(intense music)
My back is really tight right now.
My knees hurt really bad.
I have a headache.
It's a long ways to walk to the restroom.
We're headed right now to get some lunch.
Can I get a number three with a Coke, supersize that.
Been on the road for at least five hours now.
I hurt really bad.
I'm trying to grin and bear it,
just trying to get there without stopping that much.
I'm not really hungry.
I just need something to tide me over.
Tough journey, but seven hours of suffering
or a lifetime of happiness.
Well, David is afraid that he's going to die soon
and says I'm his only hope.
So, what caused David to gain all of his weight back?
Well, really, his weight back plus more?
By 2003, I weight 630 pounds.
I reached out to a local news chanel and they got me
in contact with a personal trainer
and we ended up at 229 pounds.
In 2008, I was a personal trainer and widely known
because of my weigh loss and in 2009,
TLC did a documentary about me.
Three months into his diet regime
and David had lost 100 pounds.
I didn't know the show that I was gonna be on
was gonna be called the 650 Pound Virgin.
Well, I don't know how girls work or women work
'cause it's a mess.
After the show, I went back to closet eating.
Ya know, I was this weight loss celebrity
and here I am gorging myself on Ben & Jerry's
and tortilla chips.
I ended up gaining my weight back and losing my job
as a personal trainer.
When I was a lower weight, people would always like,
"Oh, you look so good, Dave."
But in my mind, I felt like I wasn't good enough
and disgusting.
