Chris Leppard, whose Prader Willi Syndrome forces him to binge 5,000 calories-a-day because he never feels full, has ballooned after getting too big to squeeze through the door.
Now he is begging council bosses to finance a new entrance to his house or move him to a bungalow so he can get outside to exercise.
Chris, who was sectioned under the Mental Health Act in 2003 over his weight, has not been able to move from his armchair for six months and last year was warned by doctors his legs might be amputated after he piled on another 15 stone.
The wannabe chef did manage to shed nine stone last year but after an infection left him bed-ridden again, feasting on fry-ups, burgers and biscuits led him to pile on 15 stone more.
"I have been asking the council to move me to a bungalow with wider doors so I can at least make it outside - but they won't move us. It is so frustrating and upsetting.", he said.

Prader-Willi syndrome is a disorder that causes compulsive eating. They CANNOT stop eating any more than an epileptic can control their seizures.
