West Ham United forward Benni McCarthy is still struggling with his waistline.
The chunky West Ham striker is being weighed every Friday to stop him busting a strict 85kg limit set by the club.
McCarthy is the only Hammer who has to undergo the embarrassing ritual.
A club insider told The Sun: "We are doing him a favour by weighing him so he has a chance to lose an extra pound.
"So far, he's not broken the limit but it must be embarrassing to be the only one who has to stand on the scales after training and be checked like a schoolboy who scoffs too many sweets."
McCarthy, 32 yesterday, restrained himself from eating too much birthday cake to make the weight limit and is set to be a sub for today's home clash with Blackpool.
McCarthy is yet to net for West Ham since signing a 2½-year £40,000-a-week deal after joining from Blackburn in January.
