[Author’s Note: When I originally wrote America’s Fattest Fucks, it was because this image was in the works for several months, and I wanted to write a similar story. That was not what I originally had planned.

I won a gainer photo competition held by Butterchuk (https://www.patreon.com/Butterchuk) in February of 2019. A month and a half ago, they finished the coloring, so I can finally share it. The art was worth the ‘weight.’ However, I kind of wanted a story about myself to go with this image. That’s not happening, but this is something small I came up with for the vision Butterchuk helped me create. I thought about the mixed bag of reactions of how people feel about morbidly obese people based on the stereotypes created in society. I have written permission to post this image wherever I like. I know this is a little different in formatting, and you may not even consider it a story, but you all know I like trying different styles and framing devices.

Original post: Did anyone catch the New My 600-lb Life spinoff, Too Fat to Stop? Jay’s story was shocking. Out of all the patients on the show, Jay is the heaviest, the one to gain the most weight, and the one most likely to die at the youngest age. Jay is probably the heaviest person alive at this point...but not for long.

I have so many questions. How does someone gain 60 pounds in a month? Why was he so resistant to lose weight despite going on this show? Did his boyfriend have a fat fetish? How big do you think he’s going to end up before his body gives out? What was your favorite part? What disgusted you? Discuss!

^ I was utterly shocked and disgusted. What a waste of a life and a waste of my evening. He’s done this to himself. He’s obviously got some sort of mental problem because he kept gaining weight intentionally. This episode was designed for pure shock value on his poor mental health. I have no idea who’s idea it was to put someone who physically got off on eating, but that’s fucked up, man.

^^ Agreed. It’s ridiculous they gave us an episode of someone who was a gainer actively trying to gain as much weight as possible. The doctor had every chance to boot him off the show, like every other non-compliant patient.

^^^ Seriously!!! What is the point of documenting gaining and feederism on a weight-loss show!? Ratings? TLC went too far with this series. It’s not even My 600-lb Life anymore; it’s My 1000-lb Feederism. Disgusting!!!

^ What a terrible premise for an episode. TLC basically enabled him to eat himself to death. Scratch that, they helped his feeder to kill him with food. They knew he was a gainer. It’s not ethical.

^ Being a gainer is a mental health issue. Why would you do that to yourself and then go on this show for attention? Dr. Now was screwed from the start. He even tried to help Jay get weight loss surgery, but he refused. What kind of sick joke is this?

^ Jay needs to see somehow his fetish is killing him, but the fact he had a heart attack while filming and still put on more weight makes me think he’s a lost cause. Still, I hope he gets help and can lose weight before it’s too late.

^ Well most of u on here should be a shamed of yourself do you not have any compassion for this man who are you to judge him. do u know what has gone on in his life. no. u don't so stop judging people.

^^ The fridge happened.

^^^ Learn to write a coherent comment.

^^^^ Did we even watch the same episode? He was a gainer! He got off on gaining weight, and so did the anonymous feeder guy. They are intentionally killing him. There are no excuses.

^^^^^ That guy was feeding him to death. They both need psychological help, but honestly, that man should be locked up. He is killing Jay.

^ As evil as his feeder is, damn he’s hot. Tall, dark, handsome muscular men? 🤤 Maybe Jay was on to something. Kidding, but seriously how did he catch such a good looking man, and I can’t even get a text back?

^ Mind Boggling! How much weight do you think he’s gained? How much do you think he’ll gain before he dies?

^^ Considering how badly he was enabled, we know he made it to 1,089 pounds by the end of the episode.

^^^ Right? How the fuck!?

^^^^ Is he still alive?

^^^^^ He is still alive, and I’m sure since failing the program and clearly trying to gain weight, he’ll be one of the heaviest people ever, depending on when his health gives out.

^^^^^^ My cousin went to high school with this fat fuck. Jay is from the same neighborhood in Kentucky and moved back in a freight truck a few months ago. My cousin told me he must’ve been 1200lbs by now and needed a crane to get him back in the house!

^ Jay’s boyfriend was his carer. He is to blame for Jay’s eating just as much as he is. I kept screaming at the television, wanting him to take away Jay’s phone and credit cards!

^^ Feeder, not Carer!

^^^^ He is only eating because that’s the only thing he can do while being trapped in a bed.

^^^^^ Vicky, he’s a grown-ass man. He is to blame, and he clearly wanted to be that big. Even when I was a kid, I knew when to push away from the table.

^ What a depressed man. Maybe that’s why he’s overcompensating with food. I don’t think he wants to be this size, but his partner does. I think he’s just depressed inside and needs someone to show him his worth without food.

^^ It wasn’t depression!!!

^^^ Anna Poynter, I agree. There is no way that man wasn’t depressed or sexually abused or something. No one gets that big without a significant underlying factor. Depression comes in many forms, and as they spiral out of control like that, the more they try to pretend they aren’t depressed.

^ Quit fat-shaming him! You don’t know what he’s been through!

^^ I don’t understand how anyone can think we are fat-shaming him. It’s not about being fat. It’s about being so obese you live on the taxpayer’s dime and rot your insides with sugar and fat. His insides are so unhealthy. The doctor gave him two years to live, tops!!!

^^^ Equality for Shamu! 😂

^ OMG, why do all of you comment about the same people over and over again? This episode aired years ago. 🙄

^^ Becca, This was literally last night’s episode. It couldn’t have aired years ago.

^^^ There goes Becca ruining everyone’s good time again. She’s just mad because her last post got taken down.

^ Stop bringing him food. Stop giving him government benefits. If everyone would leave him alone, he’d lose weight. He won’t be able to afford so much fast food, and no one will bring it to him.

^^ Ubereats, Grubhub, Postmates, DoorDash... he’ll find a way.

^^^ I don’t see why we have to pay for his self-inflicted morbid obesity, Pat.

^^^^ He’s just one person. There’s a whole show dedicated to people this fucking fat and disgusting.

^^^^^ Franklin, so if someone’s suffering from anorexia or bulimia, that’s self-inflicted too? 🙄

^^^^^^ Yes, actually!

^ I can’t believe how nasty all of you are in the comments.

^ He could be emotionally eating or have a hormone problem.

^^ Did you watch the show? He’s a feedee getting fat on purpose.

^^^ Brenda, I love your comment! I’ve put on weight before due to my thyroid.

^^^^ A thyroid problem wouldn’t get him this enormous. He’s slamming down fast food and can’t get out of bed. He had food delivered to his hospital room—buckets of fried chicken, a bag of burgers, pizza.

^ He is on disability, no?

^^ He is! Fat is not a disability! Cut him off!

^^^ When you get to that size, it probably is a disability.

^^^^ Did you see his fast-food bill? There’s no way his “disability” check comfortably feeds him. He consumed over $400 of fast food a week. Fast food is cheap with the dollar menus and meal deals, and he still paid what I pay in student loans each month in a week.

^^^^^ pathetic!

^ I see a lot of comments above about his disability benefits. He eats way more than he makes. How else does he afford all this food?

^^ He has a feeder. Plus, he probably does plus size porn for those other sick feeders getting off on this bariatric nightmare.

^^^ Yucko! Can you imagine someone paying to see all that lard jiggle? His naughty bits were covered and sometimes blurred, but it was enough to make my stomach churn. I can’t imagine paying to see more of that.

^^^^ He didn’t have kids, which is a considerable expense. He lived his life from a bed, so it’s not like he’s shopping at Target and drinking Starbucks like all you white moms. He didn’t drink or smoke, which adds up for others with addictive behaviors. His feeder paid the bills and seemed to have a decent job. Oh, and he’s too fat for clothes, so he’s not paying for them anymore. Jay can afford so much delivery because it’s his only expense.

^ If a dog were suffering as much as he is, we would put him down! 💁‍♂️

^^ You people are disgusting—no wonder the world is like it is today. The comments here make me sad to read. My faith in humanity is lost.

^^ I agree, Shannon. People are vile.

^^^ They are not vile. They just don’t have sympathy for a fat, bloated sack of shit wasting our tax dollars and eating himself to his grave.

^^^^ Jay should’ve ashamed for letting himself get that big. His partner had to wipe his ass...on national TV! Instead, he smiled and asked for more cheesecake.

^ He's just big boned!

^^ There’s no such thing, Sam.

^^^ This is exactly what happens when you believe in Health at Every Size.

^^^^ HAES doesn’t say to eat yourself to death. It just means that even if you’re obese, like death fat, that you can make changes to be healthy even if you don’t lose weight. It makes incorporating a healthy lifestyle and not focusing on your weight. Being fat is natural.

^^^^^ You’ve got to be kidding me. 🤦‍♀️ If you believe fat is a health issue, and it is, you’re shamed for being fatphobic or whatever. Meanwhile, this guy is a beached whale with less than a year to live. It’s a fact!

^ He has an eating problem! The problem is he can’t get enough to eat. 😆

^^ It’s like that old joke. I’m on a Seafood diet. If I see it, I eat it! LOL!

^^^ Let's start a GoFraudMe like that one obese dude did a few years ago. We can raise money so he can eat more garbage. 😂 😂 😂

^ Nathan Reemsta It’s you... 😳🤣

^^ Only 900 pounds to go!

^^^ Get on it!

^^^^ Do you think Burger King will sponsor me to get big enough to get on this show? 🤡

^ Okay, but why is no one mentioning that he faked a heart attack to get EMTs to move his naked, bloated body, and then he somehow convinced them to stop at KFC to get a family meal. They should be fired!

^^ Can you blame them? They had a big baby screaming for chicken. I would’ve stopped too, but also because I want a three-piece myself. HAHA!

^^^ Adam Roberts Do you think I could call EMTs next time I want White Castle at 3 am, and no Ubereats drivers are available?

^^^^ I mean, you’re going to need an ambulance if you’re eating sliders at 3 am. 😱🤷🏻‍♂️

^^^^^ I can’t get over how unprofessional the crew was when he wanted fast food. That’s wasteful and too far! He essentially took a $3000 bariatric Uber to a fast food joint.

^^^^^^ In all fairness, he really could’ve thought he had a heart attack. When you’re that big, it’s a risk every single second.

^^^^^^^ Addy Meyers That’s why local restaurants should ban him and block his number. And for the love of God, someone needs to ban outside food in that hospital. That boyfriend was doing no favors for him!

^ All these negative comments on a post about someone who needs help. My God. He only has a few breaths left, and you’re laughing at him. He’s on his deathbed, which is also his bariatric bed and scale. What will get you to stop? When he’s in a piano case as a coffin?

^^ Amen.

^^^ A piano case will be too small! 😆

^^^^ No matter how far someone’s gone, no matter how helpless someone seems, you’ve got to help them find the light.

^^^^^ The fridge light doesn’t count, Becky.

^ Did anyone get creepy vibes that his partner is a Feeder? He pushed food on his boyfriend and told him he looked so sexy when they put an oxygen cannula in his nose to keep him breathing.

^^ There are people out there who enjoy having their partners utterly dependent on them. It’s a weird kind of control thing.

^^^ This is confirmed! Someone on Feddit found his OnlyFats and Fatreon pages, where he gains weight on purpose. It was never about getting him help. It was about increasing his viewership and advertising. That’s how he can afford all that nasty, greasy fast food! Yuck! 🤢

^^^^ Seriously?

^^^^^ I can’t post the link to his OnlyFats on Facebook, but here’s his Fatreon: https://www.patreon.com/HedonisticFeedee

^^^^^^ Wahhhh Wahhhh! Help me. I'm killing myself with fat! Oh no! Send me money for surgery! Make me famous! Then, he spends the whole episode, blaming others, gaining weight, and buys McDonald's.

^^^^^^^ Crooked!

^ Society is heading down a dark, depraved path by giving this fat fuck a platform. We need to hold people accountable and make them take responsibility for what they are doing to themselves.

^^ Counterpoint: Look at all the jobs he’s securing in our economy: Fast food workers and delivery drives. Ambulance crews and the fire brigade. Forklift and crane operators. Carpenters to repair the damage to their house while getting him out. The army of nurses it takes to move him around!

^^^ Haha, fair! Eat fat boy, eat! Until you can’t see your feet!

^ I keep seeing someone saying the guy Jay was with is a feeder.

Feederism is toxic and glorified obesity. It is extreme and does not prioritize the health of the partner.

^^ I don’t get this fetish. He wanted to feed him to death, it seems. It felt more like necrophilia through obesity. I seriously thought I was watching snuff porn. Is it any different from someone getting off by watching someone shoot heroin?

^^^ I escaped a relationship with a man who said he liked SSBBWs. It's a scary fetish!

^^^^ The reality is that even if we don’t like it, they are two consenting adults. There are tons of sexual fantasy things that could be considered unhealthy. Stop kink-shaming.

^^^^^ She wasn’t kink-shaming. She said she had a bad experience and thought it was scary.

^^^^^^ I’ll kink shame this all day. Even if gaining hundreds of pounds wasn’t unhealthy, the relationship hinges on Jay gaining weight. Making your partner change for you is an unhealthy dynamic too. This relationship was all kinds of fucked up.

^ I try to feel bad for these people, I really do, but no one gets this large overnight!

^^ Right! They can do something at 300 pounds. They don’t have to wait until they are immobile and beg for a show. Jay seriously didn’t have to wait to get to 900 pounds! Yet, he did and then gained past 1000!

^ I can’t believe I have watched a man eat a whole pot of spaghetti. I get the same brands. Jay ate a pound of pasta with a pound of meat and the largest pasta sauce jar they sell at Kroger. That’s a meal for at least six people. I’m a big girl, but that’s just morbidly obese.

^ Jay is the worst. “I can’t do this. It hurts to do that. I do what I’m supposed to do. This scale is broken. Blah, blah, blah!”

^^ Jay had so many excuses!

^^^ I thought it was funny he made that poor rescue crew stop getting him out of the house. He said he needed to “stop and rest." Bro, you didn’t even do anything! If anyone needed to rest, it was the crew members because you broke their backs trying to transport you safely!

^^^^ I get so fucking mad at these people sometimes. They are all so overdramatic. I hate when they say they don’t want to die, but they’d also rather die without carbs and soda.

^^^^^ Paige Burkes Absolutely, and he’s been on the verge of death for getting to over 900lbs, but he kept going.

^^^^^^ I feel like we’ve seen a few non-compliant people like Jay. I sometimes think they want to die.

^^^^^^^ Nothing is Jay’s fault, including the 149 pounds he gained over the last two months of the episode. Ugh!

^ The worst part of being this big would be immobility.

^^ True, you can balloon past 600 pounds, but you’ve got to stay mobile.  I’m okay with being fat, but I don’t want to be so fat I can’t go to the all-you-can-eat-buffet! 😂

^^^ Just keep telling yourself, “at least I’m not that fat.” Lol

^ Why is no one talking about how big of a slob Jay is in the episode? I imagine this guy smells like spoiled food and a baby diaper. Maybe the smell of decay and death.

^^ I imagine as much with the fact that his boyfriend had to wipe his ass and change those bed sheets that started to stain brown.

^^^ Just look at the screenshot from this episode. He has food on him that he can’t reach! You can visibly see sweat, grease, and custard stains on his belly. Every day he acts like a pig and gets messy.

^^^^ His body stored many calories as fat. It’s not like he starves if they stopped feeding him. Just give him some water and leave him to stew in his own excrement for awhile.

^^^^^ He might fuse to the bed like that one 900 pound guy a few years ago who sat in his shit in an armchair for months, blowing up bigger and bigger.

^ 1089!!!🤦🏽‍♀️

^^ And counting.

^ Jay stuffed his face with chocolate chunk cookies while asking the doctor when he could get weight loss surgery! Come the fuck on! What did he expect from the doctor?

^^ “Put the damn cookies down!” I loved it!

^^^ Me too! I loved how Dr. Montgomery went full force! I’ve never seen him get so wound up with a patient, telling him he’s going to die and slapping the plate of cookies onto the ground. I just can’t believe that Jay’s boyfriend picked them up off the floor and fed them to him anyway. That family is a shit show!

^^^^ That was hilarious, but I completely lost it when Jay told the doctor that chocolate is healthy and helped him with his back pain. Jay was like, “don’t worry, I don’t want pain pills. I want my cookies!” Have a sleeve of Oreos or Chips Ahoy, and call me in the morning. 😂

^ This episode broke my heart. Jay is just so in denial about how much he puts his body through. He has diabetes, has high blood pressure, and he kept saying the doctor could be wrong on how much time he has to live.

^^ Me too, Caroline! I’m empathetic because it hits too close to home. In 2017, My brother, Andre, weighed 745 pounds. I watched him use a scooter and struggle with his anxiety and mobility until he stopped leaving the house. Fortunately, he was able to get some weight off and has lost over 300 pounds! He still has a long way to go, but I’m proud of him. 🙏💕

^ Wow! I finally finished watching the whole thing. If the pressure sores on his back and urine burns in his underbelly rolls don’t inspire you to diet and exercise, I don’t know what will.

^^ I’m rethinking my diet.

^^^ BRB. Throwing away every piece of junk in the kitchen cabinet.

^^^^ I’m 400 pounds, and I’m renewing my gym membership. I’m doing something about this before I become as fat and delusional as Jay.
