There is a stereotype that these are just disorganized people who are unable to control their diet. In fact, they are worth nothing but sympathy. Not all people realize how difficult life is for those who suffer from serious forms of obesity. We watched TLC's "I Weigh 300 Kilograms" and we realized why.
Lee Saton, at 42 years old, weighs 325 kilograms. He realizes that his own weight is destroying his life and the life of the woman he loves, who, by the way, weighs only 70 kilograms less. But Rene Kizer does not turn away from him and helps him in everything: she takes his bedpan, washes it and supports him morally.
Saton had had weight problems since he was a child. He faced sexual abuse that he could not tell his loved ones about, and was also traumatized by the unexpected divorce of his parents, constant eating was a way for him to reduce his stress level.
Already by the age of 10, the boy weighed about 100 kilograms, and by the age of 17, his weight had grown to 230 kilograms. Only 10 years later, when his body weight continued to grow, he decided to go to a clinic for weight loss. It was there that he met his girlfriend.
Rene had been a chubby child since childhood. Her childhood was also difficult. Her mother suffered from a number of mental disorders, she hallucinated and very frightened little Rene with her behavior. Food also became a form of escape from real life for her.
As a teenager, Kizer weighed 130 pounds. It was then that her mother left the family and cut off all contact with the young girl. This became even more traumatic for her. The girl decided that she was the reason the family broke up.
She got into partying and completely forgot about her studies. It was only by the time her father died that she understood that this was not the way to live. At the time she went to the clinic, she was over 225 kilograms.
Getting to know Lee inspired the girl. They quickly found a common language and became friends. But it was strictly forbidden to show any romantic feelings in the clinic. Therefore, the couple, whose total weight at the time exceeded 575 kilograms, refused medical care.
During their 11 years together, Lee and Rene did not lose a single pound. The family's life is completely fixated on each other. And on food. But it all kills Lee's dream: he wants to propose to his girlfriend, but he is physically unable to get down on one knee. And Renee hopes to start living for himself, at least by the time he's 40.
That is why, after much discussion, Kizer and Saton went to the famous Dr. Nazardan, who has saved more than a dozen people with obesity. It turned out that a gastric reduction surgery with this weight was impossible.
Therefore, the couple had to stick to a diet of 2,000 calories a day for several months. According to the medical plan created, Renee had to lose 34 kilograms, Lee - 68. The couple with difficulty, but coped with it.
However, the many conflicts that arose when the craving for fast food won out made the union crack at the seams. Once, Lee even raised his hand to Rene, at which point the girl delivered an ultimatum: it was either food or her. The man coped with his emotions and underwent psychotherapy.
By the end of the show, Lee had lost up to 184 kilograms, and Rene - to 127: they managed to get rid of almost 260 kilograms for both of them, which can be considered a great result. If the couple manages to keep the weight loss pace, Rene and Lee can soon get closer to their dream: to have sex for the first time in 11 years of being together and finally get married.
