A 63-stone teenage girl, who last week had to be rescued from her own home, had been struggling with the guilt of dumping a mystery boyfriend, it emerged today.
Georgia Davis, 19, who was hauled into hospital after being unable to stand because of her weight, ended the relationship with the man she met online despite him telling her she was 'Mrs Right'.
The Sun reported how Miss Davis, from Aberdare, South Wales, had lamented to friends on Facebook about the admirer in February.
She posted: 'What to do?! Why can’t love be easy? I’ve got some thinking to do. I don’t love him like he claims to love me - I’m pretty sure he thinks I’m Mrs Right.
'I don’t want to hurt him the way he’s claiming I’m hurting him. I know I shouldn’t be in this relationship it’s not right on us both.'

It had been thought that Miss Davis piled on the pounds after her stepfather Arthur Treloar was diagnosed with lung cancer.
But a former schoolfriend of the teenager told The Sun: 'She couldn’t deal with the high emotions of her relationship and when it ended she was so upset she just turned to food.'
The couple are said to have got together after Miss Davis quit a U.S. fat camp in 2009.

On Thursday emergency service workers were forced to smash their way the family home after Miss Davis called out to her mother that she could not even stand up.

 

The teenager then had to wait eight hours as walls were knocked down before she could be carried from her home into an ambulance.
Stepfather Mr Treloar said: 'It breaks my heart to think of what poor Georgia has been through. It's all my fault.
'She had watched her own dad die of a heart attack when she was a toddler. One day she turned to me and said: 'I've lost one dad - I can't lose another.'
A 10ft by 10ft space was cut into to the top floor of the house in Aberdare, South Wales, so that the emergency services could remove the teenager

It cost an estimated £100,000 as emergency workers spent eight hours cutting her free as two walls of her home in Aberdare, South Wales, were demolished to remove her from her first-floor bedroom.
She remained at the Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil over the weekend while doctors continued to test for medical complaints including diabetes, kidney disease, spinal problems and respiratory failure.
Her heart rate and blood pressure are being constantly monitored.
Britain's fattest teenager had told friends on Facebook of her fears for her life because of her diet of junk food, chocolate and fizzy drinks.
She said: 'We all die in the end...but food will inevitably kill me. I can't handle losing weight, my stepdad's lung cancer, mum's sickness and my depression all at once.'
Ambulance men, paramedics, contractors from RCT homes, police, firemen, social workers all helped in the operation

Mr Treloar, 73, told the Sun on Sunday how his step-daughter had been gaining weight since her return from fat camp - staying in her bedroom watching television or messaging her friends.
He said she managed to come downstairs to eat or talk to her family by sliding down on her bottom, but last Monday she confessed she could no longer stand up.
'Georgia had been in terrible pain for a long time from sores and swelling in her feet, but as usual she was trying to protect me and her mum so she kept if from us, ' added Mr Treloar.
Over 40 firemen, medics and engineers took part in the operation last Thursday to rescue Miss Davis and take her to hospital in a reinforced ambulance after her mother Lesley called a doctor. It was the first time she had been out of the house in six months.
Friends and neighbours claim Mrs Davis, 57, bought all her daughter's food which included processed ready-meals, sandwiches and packs of peanuts and crisps. She is also partial to sausages, pasties, chips, chocolate and chunks of cheese with bottles of coke or pints of milk.’ 



The cost of removing Miss Davis is estimated to cost £100,000 to cover manpower, plus the emergency call-out and the reconstruction of the demolished walls

She has previously spoken of her guilt over the teenager’s obesity. She has said of Miss Davis's weight: ‘I feel guilty, of course I do.’
In an interview, she said she and her daughter had started comfort eating after her husband Geoff died when Miss Davis was five.
But she said she had later made a determined effort to change their diets – such as making her own chips instead of buying them from the takeaway.
She said in the interview: ‘I wish I could turn back the clock. But if you’ve never had food addiction, you can’t understand. You try to fight it but it’s like a drug.’
In 2008, Miss Davis told reporters: ‘Some people choose heroin but I’ve chosen food and it’s killing me.’
In the past, she has spoken of eating ‘a couple of loaves-worth of sandwiches filled with jam or cheese or meat’ every day.

This was in addition to five bags of cheese and onion crisps, two packets of chocolate bourbons, sponge cake, trifle chocolate cake, and four sausages with mashed potato and baked beans for dinner, as well as fizzy drinks. She consumed as much as 13,000 calories a day.
Miss Davis returned from the Wellspring Academy in North Carolina, in June 2009, weighing around 19st after losing 14st 6lbs by ditching her diet of cheese, biscuits and chocolate for regular exercise salads and lean meat.
But when she learned of her stepfather's cancer, she would not go back to the fat camp.
Mr Treloar told the Sun: 'It was the beginning of the end because she refused to return to America and for that I blame myself. It was difficult for Georgia to maintain her weight loss because she couldn't find the right foods in the supermarket in Aberdare.'

Mr Treloar revealed that Miss Davis had been forced to wear a bed sheet because clothes no longer fitted her. Now doctors have told her she can only have 2,000 calories a day to ensure she loses weight.
He said: 'She is feeling depressed but we're doing our best to keep her spirits up. She's sick and we're worried sick.'
On Facebook, Miss Davis told friends she was not coping with her family's health.  She said: 'I have my issues. At the moment dealing with everything is too much.
'I need to take it one step at a time, but I will fix all this.' She confessed that she was smoking heavily to avoid comfort eating and had contracted an infection.
'My life cannot get possibly worse,' she said. 'I have needs sorting out because it's added loads more weight on to me. It's unbearable now.'
A hospital spokesman said: ‘This young lady has had a settled night and has been seen this morning by the consultant in charge of her care.
‘Initial assessments have been undertaken and she will be undergoing further assessment during the day to assist in her plan of care.
