男子重达900斤 减肥成功后喜获爱情

Mr Mason says that he doesn't go for looks and finds Rebecca's determined attitude particularly attractive. He said: 'I am more interested in the person rather than the physical side of things.
梅森先生说他不看重外表，是丽贝卡的坚定态度深深吸引了他。他说：“我更喜欢一个人的内在思想，而非外在方面。”

'It is her personality, her drive and passion and she has a lovely smile that made me fall for her. It was hard for me to accept to start with because part of me is still trapped in this loose skin and I find it hard to understand how anyone can see through that.
“是她的个性、追求事物的动力和激情，还有甜美的微笑吸引了我。但我却很难接受从头开始恋爱，因为现在我还是一身松松垮垮的皮肤，我也很难明白怎么有人能看穿外表不受它影响。”

'We share the same ideas, interests, and outlook on life and she has made me look at life in a new way. I'm more determined than ever to get this operation and enjoy my life with her.'
“我们有同样的理想、爱好和对未来生活的希望，她教会我用新的角度看世界。我现在比任何时候都想接受除皮手术，和她幸福地生活在一起。”

'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 sense of worth and excitement.'
“很长时间以来我的生活一片黑暗，看不到曙光。但自从丽贝卡出现在我的生活中后，我又感受到了存在的价值，对此我异常兴奋。”

Mr Mason ballooned to his incredible size by eating ten times the amount needed by a normal man due to a compulsive eating disorder. As his weight soared he was left unable to stand or walk before finally becoming bed-ridden and being looked after full time by council carers.
梅森先生曾患有强迫性暴食症，每天要吃十倍于正常男性的食物，因此身体严重走形。随着体重狂飙，他到后来无法站立行走，最终只能卧床不起，由志愿护理人员全天照料。

Firefighters had to demolish the front wall of his former home so they could drive a fork lift truck inside to lift him out and put him into an ambulance when he needed an operation in 2002.
2002年他需要做手术，由于身体庞大，消防队员只能拆除他家的一面墙，用叉车把他从家中抬出来，放进救护车里。

Mr Mason was later given a purpose-built housing association home with extra wide doorways so he could move around.
后来住宅协会向梅森先生提供了特制住宅，内设特宽门廊，以确保他能自由行走。
