I Was 823lbs & Addicted To Food | BRAND NEW ME

CASEY King’s lifestyle was ‘nonexistent’ when he weighed 823lbs.The 38-year-old said he had a food addiction and spent most of his days playing video games. Casey was motivated to lose weight by the birth of his nephew and being confronted by doctors telling him he would die if he did not make some serious changes. He managed to lose some weight before he went on to star in TLC’s ‘Family By The Ton’ and got weight loss surgery. Casey said: “Choosing to have the surgery is by far the best decision of my life.” He has continued to lose weight by completely transforming his diet and lifestyle. He now weighs about 245lbs - he has lost over 550lbs. He said: “I don’t regret being that big, I appreciate the person I am today because of what I went through.” As a result of this incredible weight loss, Casey has loose skin and is fundraising for surgery to remove it. He said: “I’m not done with my transformation.” Casey said the weight loss has made him a more confident person and it has meant he’s doing things he felt he wasn’t able to before including driving and working. It’s also completely changed his love life as he is now dating. He said: “There’s just so much more out there to this world that I never experienced throughout many, many years in my life. Now that I’ve got a taste of it I just don’t want to stop.”
