'I'm feeding my sons to death' , says gastric band mother of boys who weigh a total of 840 POUNDS

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Overweight: L-R Joseph, Cynthia and Matthew A chubby mum admitted she's sending her supersize sons to an early grave through her addiction to feeding them

An obese mum whose life was saved by a gastric bypass told yesterday how she is slowly killing her sons - by feeding them up to a combined weight of 800 lbs.

Cynthia Williams has raised sons Joseph, 26, and Mathew, 18, on a diet of doughnuts, fried chicken and pizza and they once weighed a combined total of 1,200lbs.


Size: The pair now weigh close to 30 stone each and despite their precarious condition she admits she can't stop feeding them

But when the 5ft 2ins mum came close to death from high blood pressure and diabetes she underwent gastric surgery and shed seven stone in a year.


Ill: She refuses to listen to doctors' warnings that Joseph and Mathew will die because she knows that greasy grub is the only thing that puts a smile on their fat faces

But she couldn't kick the addiction of 'comfort feeding' her sons - and they now weigh 30 stones each.

She refuses to listen to doctors' warnings that Joseph and Mathew will die - because greasy grub is only thing that makes them happy.

The 48-year-old said: 'I know it's my fault they're fat, and that the fatty food is killing them, but I can't stop. I'm feeding my boys to death.


Feeding: The three of them weighed a total of 84 stone at one stage thanks to their non-stop eating with the boys too heavy to work, exercise or socialise

'As my weight plummeted and theirs soared I felt awful.

'I tried to buy healthy food for all of us. I wanted the boys to lose weight like I had, only naturally.

'But it's hard for them being at home all the time.

They are too overweight to work, exercise or socialise. The only thing I can offer them to make them happy is more food.'

At her peak 5ft 2 Cynthia weighed a belt-popping 24 stone and suffered from high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol.

Dangerously ill, doctors offered her a lifeline in 2009 - with the portly mum undergoing a gastric bypass to shed seven stone in the space of a year.
