Title: Big date?

Accident Ruins 800-Lb. Man's Date

MEXICO CITY (AP) - When Manuel Uribe went out on a date, he made all the necessary arrangements: a forklift to carry him out of the house and a flatbed tow truck big enough to haul the formerly half-ton man and his bed to a party.

But even the open road wasn't big enough to handle Uribe's dream of celebrating a budding romance and his success in losing about 440 pounds.

Uribe was halfway to a picnic near his Monterrey-area home on Sunday when one of the posts holding a sun-shielding tarp over his bed hit an overpass.

Uribe's blood pressure dropped so much his doctors advised him not to go on and the celebrationâ€”being documented by about two dozen photographers and reporters from around the worldâ€”was canceled.

"We were going to celebrate that I've been losing weight for two years and that it was my girlfriend's birthday," Uribe said in a telephone interview. "The saddest part was that I couldn't fulfill my dream of taking my girlfriend out to eat."

There is so much gravity to this subject...
...and difficult to encompass a subject of this magnitude.

You know you're too heavy when it takes a tow-truck to lift your spirits. :-)
