For three years, Chitoka Light has lived her entire existence from her bed.
Weighing 680 lbs., she finds it it too difficult to move further than a few feet.
“I do everything from this bed,” Light, 49, says in this exclusive clip from TLC’s new show, Family By the Ton. “I have strategically placed mirrors, where I can see reflections all over the house. Cameras, and monitors. It doesn’t matter what’s going on — this is central base for everything.”
And even moving the couple of feet to the bathroom is excruciating for Light.

Cousins Naomi Anderson, Chitoka Light and Drew Stewart are all bonded by blood, and by their shared struggle with obesity.
Combined, the family members weigh just under 2,000 lbs., and are battling for their lives on TLC’s new show, Family By the Ton.
Stewart, 43, is addicted to eating.
“I need to knock off this overeating before it kills me,” he says in this exclusive clip. “If you’re on drugs, you can hide it. If you’re an alcoholic, you can hide it. But if you’re fat, everyone sees your problem.”
Light, 49, is bed-ridden and hasn’t gone outside in three years.

You might not even know it, but you've probably heard and appreciated Awolnation's single "Sail" in commercials for Red Bull, The Good Wife, House, and more, and perhaps that owes a little bit to the commercial nature of the group's origins.

Awolnation will kick off their fall tour in September, and you can check out the remaining dates below.
