Supersize Georgia Davis has shot up to a worrying 46st 7lb as she struggles yet again to keep off the weight.
With the help of nurses in hospital, the 19-year-old lost more than 20 stone. But since being discharged she has struggled to stick to her diet.
Her dramatic weight gain — and a crippling leg infection — have made her a prisoner in her own armchair. Barely able to move, she even sleeps in the chair.
Speaking from her two-bedroom council flat, Georgia told The Sun: “I try to eat healthily but I can’t cook for myself in this state.
“Some weeks are okay and some weeks aren’t. Last week was a bad week and I ate too many biscuits.
“I lose myself in food. I can’t open a packet of biscuits and eat one — I have to eat them all.
“Tonight I’m having a KFC because it’s too painful for me to stand in the kitchen and cook.”
Georgia moved into the flat in Aberdare, South Wales, with childhood friend Sian Thomas in November after leaving Prince Charles Hospital in nearby Merthyr Tydfil.
She had been admitted last June after a £100,000 operation to free her from the family home, which had to be partly demolished.
She had ballooned to 52st after returning from nine months at a US “fat camp” where she shed over 14st.
In hospital her daily calorie count was cut from 13,000 to 1,500 and she dropped to 42st 6lb. At first, with the help of Sian, Georgia stuck to her diet plan in their new home.
But the routine has slipped and an infection called cellulitis has caused a painful swelling in her legs.
She now sits for hours in her armchair, watching TV and reading her favourite vampire romance books.
Georgia, who turns 20 in two weeks, said: “I try not to let it get me down. Obviously it’s not ideal and not where I hoped to be at this point.
“It’s hard to get a routine going when I’m not very mobile. Sian helps me a lot but she works and can’t be here for me all the time.
“Sleeping is really hard because I’ve had to make this chair my bed and I wake up in pain every two hours.
“But I’m still in a better place than when I went to hospital. At least I’m weighing myself regularly. Back then I’d given up on myself.
“I thought the weight would kill me and I was prepared to let it. I’m not going to give up again.
“The nurses who looked after me saved my life. For their sake I’ve got to keep trying.”
