LIVERMORE (CBS 5) A 700-pound Livermore mans plea for help to lose weight has become a viral sensation on YouTube in less than 24 hours.

Robert Gibbs, who turned 23 on Friday, said he is a prisoner in his won body.

I spend most of my days right here, watching TV. Gibbs said from his couch.

On Thursday, something clicked for the Livermore man who has struggled with his weight since the age of four. He has also been hospitalized twice. As Gibbs was stuck in bed, he recorded the video.

This is my last chance, my last hope, one of them. I really scared Im not going to be able to watch my niece and nephew grow up, Gibbs said in the video.

Gibbs said he is beyond helping himself. He is on disability and may suffer from depression. To save money and feed his food addiction, Gibbs often eats fast food.

His plea for help did not fall on deaf ears. In 24 hours, his video had 200,000 hits. Gibbs also received calls from news stations around the world. During an interview with CBS 5, he also received a phone call from a producer representing weight loss guru Chris Powell.
