Manuel Uribe is now somewhat less unattractive
For those of you unfamiliar with Manuel Uribe, you may remember Jared, the Subway guy. He weighed over 400 lbs before going on his “Subway diet”, and yes, he looked like a zeppelin.
Manuel Uribe was 3 times the man Jared ever was.
(WARNING: may cause vomiting or mental scarring.*) Here’s his picture.
To his credit, Mr. Uribe hasn’t given up and has been actively trying lose the weight. In fact, he’s lost 400 lbs over the past year, which makes him only about 800 lbs now.
Before you girls start beating a path to his door, he apparently has a girlfriend now and is looking forward to having children**, so you’re too late. If you want to try to argue that there’s enough of him for two (or three) girlfriends, though, you could try that angle.

Ok fine, I don’t hate my body so much now.
