article: Beaming towards the camera as a toothy 10-year-old, Carl Thompson is the picture of health as he poses in his family's back garden. But more than 20 years later the once rosy-cheeked boy is facing death after ballooning to 65 stone to become Britain's fattest man. Consuming 10,000 calories-a-day by gorging on takeaways and whole loaves of bread, the 32-year-old is too heavy to walk or wash himself. He is confined to the ground floor flat where he lives alone in Dover, Kent, kept company by a team of NHS carers who come to bathe him and cook for him every day. Scroll down for video . Carl Thompson, 32, has gained an astonishing 30 stone in just three years and is now bed-bound at 65 stone . Mr Thompson said he has always had problems with food and was even caught raiding neighbours fridges when he was three (left). But aged around 10 he was a normal size and played like a normal child . Living off a combination of incapacity benefits and a disability allowance, Mr Thompson spends roughly £200 every week on takeaways and online food shopping. He has not had a job since he was 17 when he worked in a food factory. At the time Mr Thompson said he ate everything the factory didn't sell. But after the death of his mother in 2012 from a brain tumour, Mr Thompson turned to food as a means of coping with his grief. Breakfast: Four sausages, five fried eggs, fried bread, mushrooms fried in butter, bowl of cereal with full fat milk . Lunch: Bowl of pasta, chips, bacon, pork pies, crisps, pasties, sandwiches and chocolate . Dinner: Chinese or Indian takeaway of up to £25 five nights a week . Snacks: £10 a day on Yorkie bars . With food as his only source of comfort, he doubled in weight from 30 to 65 stone in just three years and became housebound. 'That’s how I put all this weight on. I was very close to my mum,' he said speaking of his mother. 'She was fantastic, and I still haven’t got over it.' Now his days normally begin with a fry-up breakfast of four sausages, five fried eggs, a pan-full of mushrooms and fried bread. Lunch can be a bowlful of pasta, chips, bacon, pork pies, crisps, pasties, sandwiches and chocolate and dinner a takeaway. Since he is unable to leave the house Mr Thompson relies on online shopping deliveries and takeaways. His carers prepare meals with the ingredients he has bought. 'I order takeaways five nights a week, usually spending between £10 and £25 on Chinese, curries, pizza or fish and chips,' he said. 'My carers cook my food during he day and it's always microwaved meals - my favourite is chicken curry.' Alongside takeaways Mr Thompson spends £10 a day on chocolate, typically Yorkie bars. Mr Thompson has put on 30 stone since 2012 (pictured above) when his mother died . He has not had a relationship since his early twenties which ended because of his weight gain. 'My last girlfriend was a girl called Rachel 10 years ago, but we split up after three years because of my weight,' he said. While Mr Thompson said he has always had a problem with food (he was caught raiding his neighbours' fridges when he was three) he said it was made worse by the death of his mother in 2012. Having been admitted to hospital for heart attacks and septicemia in the last three years, he is facing death unless he drastically changes his diet. Desperate to shed 45 stone, Mr Thompson said: 'I could die, that’s the bottom line if I keep going the way I do. 'Because of what I eat I’m missing out on everything in life. 'I cannot go to the park and I cannot go on holiday.' But unlike Paul Mason, previously Britain's heaviest man who tipped the scales at 70 stone, Mr Thompson said he does not want to undergo gastric band surgery. 'I need to go somewhere to lose my weight naturally because I can’t do it on my own,' he said. 'I don’t want a gastric band, they’re dangerous. I’d like the help of a dietician and a psychiatrist to help shift the weight.” While Mr Thompson said he has always had weight issues, he ballooned in size following the death of his mother (pictured together left when he was 15). Now he cannot wash or leave the house . The former factory worker said he has always had a problem with food. He is pictured above aged around four . 'I will go anywhere which will help me lose weight. It’s taken over my life. I can’t move, I can’t cook, and it’s time for that to end.' Earlier this week a woman weighing 60 stone who was once Britain's fattest teenager had to be airlifted out of her home. Georgia Davis, 22, was taken to hospital following the dramatic effort which using a crane to get her out of her specially adapted flat in Aberdare, south Wales. Paul Mason, who was once considered the fattest man in the country after ballooning to 70 stone, has recently told of his ordeal trying to get rid of excess skin following a 46-stone weight loss. The 54-year-old travelled to the U.S. to have the operation carried out after being refused by the NHS. Mr Thompson eats 10,000 calories a day between takeaways, fry up breakfasts, pork pies and microwavable meals . The 32-year-old said he is desperate to lose weight but does not want a gastric band because he thinks they are dangerous .
