Trapped by Love and Weight: Paul’s 600lb Life Is Tearing His Relationship Apart”
By Christopher Stanley | July 7, 2025
Paul Anderson, 42, once described himself as a “gentle giant with a big heart.” But now, at over 600 pounds, his massive weight is not only threatening his life — it’s breaking the heart of the woman who loves him.
Living in a modest one-bedroom flat in Birmingham, Paul’s world has shrunk to the confines of his recliner, where he spends nearly all his time. With mobility nearly gone and health issues stacking up — diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea — his daily life is a struggle. But the true victim in this story may be his girlfriend, Lisa Morgan, 39, who’s been left to pick up the pieces of their crumbling relationship.
Lisa, who works as a part-time carer and cleaner, is now Paul’s full-time support system. “I love him,” she says tearfully. “But it’s not love anymore — it’s survival. I feed him, clean him, bathe him. I haven’t been touched by my partner in years. I miss him… I miss us.”
The couple met online ten years ago. Back then, Paul was already heavy — around 350lbs — but still able to work and enjoy life. Over the years, addiction to fast food and emotional eating spiralled out of control. Lisa begged him to get help, but Paul kept putting it off. “Tomorrow,” he would always say. But tomorrow never came.
Now, confined to bed and in denial, Paul has become a prisoner in his own body. “I know I’m killing myself,” he admits. “But food is all I have left. I’ve lost my independence, my pride, and I’m afraid I’ll lose Lisa too.”
Lisa says she is exhausted emotionally and physically. “People say I should leave. But how do you walk away from someone you love when they can’t even walk themselves?”
Doctors have warned Paul that without major surgery and dramatic lifestyle change, he may not survive another year. Lisa has reached out to specialists and even a bariatric surgeon in Manchester, but Paul’s weight makes transportation nearly impossible. “We need a miracle,” she says.
As Paul lies in bed watching old photos of when he and Lisa used to go to concerts and seaside towns, he wipes away tears. “I just want to be the man she fell in love with again. But right now… I don’t even recognise myself.”
Lisa, though deeply hurt, hasn’t given up. “If he chooses to fight — really fight — I’ll fight with him. But if he doesn’t, I can’t keep losing myself trying to save someone who won’t save himself.”
Their love story now hangs in the balance, with time, weight, and reality pressing down harder than ever before.
