男子重达900斤 减肥成功后喜获爱情

He was once the world's fattest man weighing in at a staggering 70 stone and consuming a mammoth 20,000 calories a day.
他曾经是世界上最胖的男子，重达70英石（约900斤），每天要摄入2万卡路里的热量。

But it seems that after losing 48 stone following NHS surgery, it's not just Paul Mason's health that has a more promising outlook - his weight loss may have also boosted his love life.
在接受医疗服务系统提供的手术后，保罗·梅森瘦了48英石，但他收获的未来不仅是健康的身体，他还可能因为减肥而收获爱情。

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 claims that Rebecca is the love of his life.
梅森先生只和他的新女友丽贝卡认识一个月，两人还没见面，但这位52岁的男士就已宣称丽贝卡是他生命中的挚爱。

The pair met online last month when Rebecca saw a television documentary about Mr Mason's extreme obesity - the result, he says, of overeating when a previous relationship ended.
这两人上个月在网络上相识。丽贝卡在电视上看到了关于梅森先生极度肥胖的纪录片——梅森说那是他结束前一段恋情后过度饮食的后果。

She was so touched by his plight that Rebecca got in touch via Facebook keen to help Mr Mason in his bid to get the NHS to pay for a second operation to rid him of layers of excess skin.
丽贝卡对他的境遇很感动，因此通过Facebook同他取得联系，以帮助他获得由NHS付款的第二次手术，帮助梅森去掉多余皮层。

Mr Mason said: 'She didn't really think anything romantically to start with. I didn't know anything about her and we talked all about her life and how she wants to help me.'
梅森先生说：“她刚开始时真的没想过要有什么恋爱关系。我一点也不了解她，我们只是谈论了她的生活，以及她想要如何帮助我。”

'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.'
“直到第二次谈话时我才意识到我们并非普通的朋友关系。她也有同样的想法，还提出要做男女朋友的想法。”
