Casey King was not an ordinary 34-year-old. The man didn't work, had no money, and lived with his father. That isn't what makes him different, though. What makes Casey different is his weight - he currently topped 700 pounds in 2018.

Far from being unhappy with his weight, Casey seemed to have embraced it. In an episode of "Family by the Ton," a reality show on TLC, he said:

"I'll eat until I'm dead, probably." 

He had no plans to shed the pounds.

"Family by the Ton" showcases overweight families that need to lose weight. Casey admitted on air that he spends most of his time eating and playing video games. Sometimes he watches TV. He sleeps late and gets zero exercise.

Since he's so heavy, he has trouble finding clothing that fits him. This means he mostly stays in bed naked, playing video games. He explained that in the games he likes, no one judges him by how he looks. He's able to be himself, the real Casey, without having to worry that he'll be rejected for his weight.

Being overweight isn't a new development for Casey. He's always been big. Over the years, his weight continued to increase until he gave up fighting it. He and his dad had large quantities of food delivered, which caused Casey to continue his downward spiral. His weight has caused all sorts of problems.

Bathing became an issue. Most bathtubs and shower stalls couldn't accommodate him–something he found out the hard way when he got stuck in one for around nine hours. He was forced to bathe himself outside in a metal trough, but he has had a change of heart on his stance about his weight. He has recently undergone some weight loss, and is very happy to be on a journey towards a healthier life, reports Distractify. He recently hit the scales at 350 pounds and got a job at a hardware store according to his Facebook page.
