Walter Hudson was the fattest man in the world when he got stuck in his bathroom door in 1987 and had to be extricated by the local fire department. This happened on Hempstead, Long Island in New York, but it became a national story and captured the attention of the country.When Walter Hudson got stuck in his bathroom door, it is estimated that the weighed 1,400 pounds. This is an estimate because the industrial scale used to weigh him broke at 1,000 pounds. The doctors who examined him at the time estimated that he weighed about 1,400 pounds. When he died in 1991 at theage of 46, a forklift had to be used to lowerhis coffin into the ground.The Turning PointWalter Hudson had been a fat child. A picture of him at 7 years old shows a fat little boy. At the age of 12, he weighed 200pounds; certainly obese, but nowhere near the behemoth he became when he got stuck in his bathroom door.How did he go from 200 pounds to 1,400 pounds? How did such a thing happen? How was it possible?The turning point in Walter Hudson's life occurred when he was 12 years old. Whenhe was 12, he fell and broke a leg. This injury left him bedridden. By the time he was 15, he weighed 300 pounds, and he never left his home again. He spent his time talking on the telephone, reading the Bible, listening to gospel music, watching television and eating, especially eating.He spent most of his waking hours eating.His typical breakfast was composed of 32 link sausages, a pound of bacon, a dozen eggs, a loaf of bread with grape jelly and apot of coffee.A typical lunch was two large sandwiches,a pile of fried potatoes and a large bottle of soda.An average dinner was four or five ham steaks, a half-dozen potatoes, a half-dozen cobs of corn, a bottle of soda and an apple pie.Between-meal-snacks consisted of a handful of candy bars, to keep up his energy, you know. All this was paid for mainly with a disability check he received because of his childhood injury.
