A formerly-obese man whose weight crisis was aired on global TV has amazingly turned his life around. After having surgery, transforming his diet, changing his lifestyle, and—not least of all—adopting a new mental outlook, he’s lost nearly 600 pounds and today says with confidence: “I’m happy with who I am.”
Now 38, Casey King from Georgia became enormously obese during high school, leaving him feeling socially ostracized. And peaking at 823 pounds, food became his refuge. “I was kind of always an outcast kid,” King told The Epoch Times. “I was just always weird or different, high energy, loud, and I didn’t have a ton of friends so I just ate a lot.” Then, after high school, he worked at several restaurants and leaned into eating to cope with feelings of loneliness. The more he ate, the bigger he got.
