I'm a recovering heroin & benzo addict, and it's funny that you said that because I've seen so many people balloon up after being addicted for so long. It makes alot of people crave sugar, which is no excuse, but I believe that, coupled with the "high" you're trying to achieve (nod out) is probably a big factor in the equation. I was too vain to stuff my face. That, and I was a paralegal at the time working like crazy so I maintained during the day and got high at night.  On another note, isn't this the fatty who was catfishing that hot guy, but the hot guy turned out to be a fatty too? I remember them meeting and finding out that both of them lied; Their faces were priceless, they were both so pissed. IIRC, I think the guy obeast died a few years ago of a pulmonary embolism.
