Actually it's not his fault, its due to a combination of genetic defects and a metabolic disorder, psychological factors are involved too. i hear he was married last year in a documentary i watched last year.

Manuel Uribe, the world's fattest man, was transported to his wedding in his bed

Hairdresser Claudia Solis, Mr Uribe's bride, was previously married to a friend of his

The happy couple, who met four years ago, pose before their wedding in Mexico on Sunday

It was a Big Fat Mexican Wedding with a low-calorie reception when the world’s fattest man married his long-term girlfriend in Mexico on Sunday.

Manuel Uribe, 43, wed hairdresser Claudia Solis, fulfilling a birthday wish for the Mexican man who has shed an enormous 570 pounds (230 kg) from his former weight of 94 stone (590kg) over the past 12 months.

Despite his impressive weight loss, Mr Uribe, named the 'World’s Fattest Man' by the Guinness Book of Records in 2007, remains confined to his bed which he has not been able to leave in the past four years.

But that didn’t stop him making the 30-minute trip to the civil ceremony at a makeshift altar in a local town hall in his home town of Monterrey.
The former car parts dealer was transported to the wedding on his specially-reinforced four-poster bed, draped with cream and gold and adorned in bright sunflowers, on the back of a truck.

Dressed in a white satin shirt and with a sheet covering his legs, Mr Uribe smiled broadly, gave the thumbs up and waved to passers-by as the truck headed towards the wedding.

His bride, wearing in a strapless ivory satin dress, a tiara and holding a bouquet of fresh lilies, looked equally as excited, smiling for the swarm of international photographers.

As the couple was declared husband and wife, Mr Ubide broke into tears.

Mr Uribe said later: "I have a wife and will form a new family and live a happy life."

For the traditional first dance as newlyweds, the newlyweds held hands and swayed to a romantic ballad.

Mr Uribe's doctors were among the 400 guests at the wedding reception which had a "low-calorie banquet" with meat, creamed mushrooms and buttered vegetables.

Mr Uribe, whose goal weight is 120kg (18st), said previously he might have a bite of wedding cake for the cameras, but would not have any more as his strict diet would not allow it.
His mother, Orquedia Garza, confirmed the groom had steered clear of the five-tier wedding cake at the reception, during which a popular local norteno band played accordion-heavy tunes.

"He didn't break his diet," she told AP. "His doctors are here and they are watching him very closely."

After announcing his engagement earlier this month, Mr Uribe said it was his birthday wish this year to marry Ms Solis.

"We are in love, and this year my birthday wish is to be able to stand when we get married,” he said.

“We are a couple. We have sex, and in the eyes of God we are already married."

Ms Solis has said of her new husband: "I bathe him every day, and we get along very well".

The ceremony was televised by the Discovery Channel as part of a program about the couple named after the 2002 US comedy My Big Fat Greek Wedding. It will be the second TV show featuring Mr Uribe, after World's Heaviest Man, which detailed his battles to lose weight.

Mr Uribe has been suffering from morbid obesity since 1992. He was gripped by suicidal thoughts until he undertook a drastic diet after a worldwide appeal to help him lose weight.

He refused gastric-band surgery and instead undertook the strict diet, with the help of Ms Solis and Mexican nutritionists working with the Zone diet.

He has since asked the Guinness Book of Records to award him the title of ‘World’s Greatest Slimmer’.

Mr Uribe has also set up a foundation to help educate Mexican people about nutrition and to combat obesity problems.

The Uribes met four years ago at the death-bed of a mutual friend of who weighed 551 pounds (250kg). Another of Mr Uribe’s friends, Mexican Jose Luis Garza, 47, who weighed 992lb (450kg), died earlier this month.

I love you Kris!

And you are right, it's not his fault. It could be a psychological factor, not physical, that causes this problem. But it can also be hypothalamus that is causing overeating:

"Hormonal Abnormalities
Hormonal problems are rampant in eating disorders and include chemical abnormalities in the thyroid, the reproductive regions, and areas related to stress, well-being, and appetite. Many of these chemical changes are certainly a result of malnutrition or other aspects of eating disorders, but they also may play a role in perpetuating or even creating susceptibility to the disorders.

The primary setting of many of these abnormalities originate in a small area of the brain called the limbic system. A specific system called hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) may be particularly important in eating disorders. It originates in the following regions in the brain:

Hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is a small structure that plays a role in controlling our behavior, such as eating, sexual behavior and sleeping, and regulates body temperature, emotions, secretion of hormones, and movement. "
