@@gamecrusher2024 I agree 100% with you, but there's a time and place in everyone's life they should have some self-respect. And the fact that he cheated on his partner and cheated with another man's wife says more about him than his weight do
Feel so sad for the children especially when the children become the caregivers. These children love their parent unconditionally, I get it. The children then do not have a childhood when they are taking care of the parent instead of the parent taking care of them. BLESS THE CHILDREN.

I can relate when I was 17 my mom had a bad wound in her foot and had to go to the hospital for three months different places and I missed a lot of school helping her but I didn’t mind cause I loved her unfortunately my mom passed away June 15 2020 due to a massive heart attack caused by a blood clot

Addiction will turn the nicest person into an f'ing demon. None of these people are completely blameless but that addiction factor is huge. You'll hate yourself for behaving horribly. You're miserable without a fix. It's a nightmare.
I am on my weight loss journey. I’m at 326 and now 320. I think whenever I’m feeling down I need to watch this. Will help me realize, if I keep on the path I am I will end up like them.
Hello! The comment is old, but I just wanted to know if you are doing ok and continuing your journey. It can be hard, so a little encouragment from an internet stranger that really want people to be happy and healthy! Good luck :D
Why waste the doctor's time if you aren't going to make the effort to follow the program. I bet for every one of these people who don't care there are at least two who do. If you're not serious... stay home and let someone else have a chance
I think part of the problem is that these patients realize that when or if they lose weight they won't get that attention and have someone waiting on them 24/7.
I really think that *they’re just addicted to a VERY DIFFICULT substance: food, and food addicts would rather die than go without junk food, plus they believe that they’ll LIVE FOREVER. So there’s no urgency
I know right, he'd be lucky to be able to find it under all that flab. And what sort of woman would look at him and go 'oooh I want a piece of that ' lol. His partner has an emotional bond with him so that's a bit different.
I was in a waiting room today with my daughter who needed a test done, and I was looking at the majority of the people coming in, all seriously overweight and most with real health problems. Hearing some of them struggling to breathe, because they are so large, made me think, this is exactly why I want to stay careful and keep up my healthier eating habits, so I do not end up in such a position in one day. It was a good eye opener.
Penny is just completely awful. Bleh... 🤮 Also Joyce from season #8. And Ryan from season #10. And Schenee season #6. And James K season #5. Oh, and Lisa, season #10.

How do you even SNEAK a PIZZA BOX in a hospital? I could see a hamburger or a hotdog or a bag or crisps, but an entire gigantic american pizza? Just, how?😂
I had weight loss surgery when I was staring 300lbs in the backside. Now I have about 45 pounds left to lose before I reach my goal weight. I can't imagine wanting to ever go back to what I was before. that's a nightmare to me. I watch this show to inspire me to keep on track or if I had a bad day to get back on track. I gave up a lot to get here including rice, pasta, soda and other carbonated and caloric drinks, and sugar. I also exercise at least five times a week. I keep a fitness tracker on every day to make sure that I'm always getting in my steps.
I've never understood why, when they gain weight, they lie about eating bad stuff. Dr. Now ain't stupid. He knows what you're doing to be gaining weight.
I don't understand why, when they gain so much weight, some of these people treat hygiene as an after thought. If I knew that a doctor would be examining me, I would be scrubbing my folds non stop.

I think that once they’re checked into the hospital for the program, it should be like rehab. Visitors should only be allowed in common spaces and should not be allowed to bring food in. It’s an addiction; treat it like one.
I completely agree, as many of the contestants have behaviors consistent with addiction (such as getting angry if they can’t eat the unhealthy food that is killing them)
I'm a quadriplegic and this show inspires me to watch my weight because I did get a little heavy. I don't want to be more of a burden to my caretakers.
so what do you do? just diet? Can you exercise at all? I honestly don't know if being quadriplegic means you can't move at all or if some people still have some movement. I was a caretaker for a friend with ALS I didn't know much about it at the time. I was shocked how quickly they lost ability of their limbs.
I do feel sorry for those who have childhood trauma...but not for the ones who are nasty to their family or caregiver!...many have supportive families but they lack self discipline and are just lazy and want to be taken care of.
My exroomate who ate himself to death was like that to his caretakers and nurses and even his enabler for the two years iived with him he'd barricade himself in his room which I appreciated because he never took a shower and he used to stink.. always in pain..awful way to live and die .I'm shocked people make it to 700
One weight loss tip for everyone staying at home is "portion control". As I watched this video, I was 'shocked' when I saw how much food was packed on the plate for Lee Sutton.

I've worked with addicts for the last 10 years and for the most part the only difference between a food habit and a drug habit is family members don't usually give the addict drugs directly like food addicts families do
I watch this every night or try to watch this every night get up in the morning to go workout and I'm totally motivated and when I'm working out I think about these people
Some of these people seem to be very selfish, only about themselves. When you look closer, they even appear to have supportive people around, taking care of them. Support that a lot of people don't have. No excuse for these behaviors! No healthcare workers should be getting bullied, insulted by uncooperative, selfish, mean individuals like some of these people!

They feel entitled and use their trauma as an excuse to treat people the way they do. The enablers feel guilty or just want to keep the peace which is why they’ve continue to give in
I grew up with Cynthia (Wells) as a child. It’s so crazy seeing them and their home we (my siblings and her children) played in as kids on the show. I’m happy for her ! ❤️😊
I think therapy should be mandatory when they do this show. So many of these people have dysmorphia and underlying emotional issues that cause the eating issues. Can fix the problem without getting to the root.
So I had the sleeve done and it was mandatory to have a psychological evaluation done before even having surgery and if I didn't pass that then I wouldn't have been able to have surgery. These people should have to go through this as well.
@@Krysanya i dont think it's right that they get disability when they purposely over eating. I have an aunt that had a bad stroke where she could hardly walk and she couldnt work and they have denied her disability 3 Times.
@@Krysanya maybe i worded it wrong. I didnt mean that you were wrong about them getting ssi. I heard that they do. I was just meaning in my opinion that i dont think its fair.
@@jennygarza9539 oh ok. I just heard that which is so sad cuz my dad tried for years to get disability he has broken his back 3 times before and has metal plates and pins all over so when I heard this obese women got help before him,I was i very hurt
Food addiction, like all addictions, is a byproduct of an inability to cope. Dealing with underlying issues must be a part of the program of recovery or any positive results will be short lived.
I'm currently really overweight (about 120kgs and I'm 165cm) i'm slowly working on it by healthier eating and doing physical activity that I can. Only buying coffees from work now and calorie counting. Seeing a dietician and psychologist as well to help overcome issues.
I was abused by a family member, suffered a miscarriage and it took two years for me to get pregnant. I didn't turn to food or blame anyone for my situation. I didn't gain weight. I fought thru all of my problems
The latest season of the show has been so utterly depressing very little progress for most. I really think they need to set up a better system for patients. Like nutrition classes ect. It’s a terrible addiction as you have to eat to survive. In saying that some of these patients really piss me off as do their enablers 🙏
You can be abused, raped, kidnapped, etc. but you’re the one who poisons yourself. You gotta understand that if you’re feeling emotions, you can choose to run away from it or heal from it.
I love how every creature gets a sob story in the beginning in order to give themselves an emotional scapegoat. We all have issues, and most people don’t abuse others around us unlike these creatures
Penny is my dad's cousin's ex wife and we used to be close. When I was little, she had not gained all this weight. I know she's been through a lot of crazy shit. But I 100% understand why everyone gets so frustrated.
Ashley T was a despicable and ignorant mess. I understand trauma can change a persons personality and behavior , but her character and habits was gross.
Addiction to ANYTHING is incredibly difficult. My husband is a recovering addict and I will NEVER truly understand how he feels. Food addiction must have the same problems and impact.
These people seem to have perfected the art of eating while lying down. And I notice in several shots there's always a huge plate of scrambled eggs of some kind.
the fact that james had his daughter drop out of school because of his addiction disgusts me terribly. leave the kids out of it. her mom should be equally ashamed.
My parents watch this show all the time, I sit in their room often and watch it with them sometimes. It's honestly a big workout motivation, though I feel bad for those who had a bad past, I don't think turning to food was the right option...
No one really chooses to become an addict. There are a lot of factors. Pain causes one to do things that they usually wouldn't. There comes a point when the hurt gets so bad that you'll do just about anything to ease it even a little. If you don't have any coping skills it quickly becomes a situation that one can no longer control without help.
Schenee is definitely a piece of work.. she actually has her own channel, Journey On The Go. She's living in her car and still eating bad, she claims to have lost weight but I really don't believe that. Also her little "DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD" comment when she was on the phone with Dr. Now (look that up too).. as for the mom who said "i don't want no fat ass daughter" 😡 when you become a parent, you need to be their biggest cheerleader and help them in every way possible. She clearly doesn't give a rats ass. some mother. We all go through traumatic experiences, but it's up to us whether we want to let it morph us into better people or if we want to continue, let it ruin us completely. It takes a real strong person to pick themselves back up and want better.
U know this show doesn't tell all the facts. Alot of past patients have died. Dr. Now, has been sued several times and most were success stories. The body of a 500+ should not be put under anesthesia. It's like rolling the dice of death for people already in critical condition!💯💯 Love the show though I often find myself wanting all of them to succeed and pissed when they dont!😅😅💯💯
@@its420somewhererightnow Im sure when he does surgery on 500+ people its because the risk is justified as death is the only other option. He likely has them sign waivers saying as much to protect him from any litigation.
Currently in the US there are people who can't afford their food AND their medicine, or food and heat. However, each episode of this show has a person who somehow affords (without a job) HUGE quantities of food, including expensive snacks and junk food. Then the person has to move to Houston for what is probably an incredibly expensive surgery, then often have home health or a dietician AND counseling. Many times there are multiple ambulance or medical-transport services. I'm sure the show pays for some of this, but the cost of it all must be simply staggering.
This show makes me unspeakably uncomfortable, as someone who's had a weight loss surgery and struggled with my weight my whole life. I dunno why, I just have awful fear of myself ending up there... the procedure won't work unless you change your lifestyle and are motivated yourself to put in the work. It's so important to realize it isn't an instant fix.
amina fathi : home office like most had to do during Covid-19. They all show their expensive laptops where they play games on and watch other things PLUS ORDER FOOD to their homes...
On occasion I watch these episodes because it reminded me that I never want to end up like this, so when I'm struggling to work out this always motivates me
James is one of the top 3 people that made me sick and angry. The fact that he had his daughter drop out of school to take care of him and he still doesn’t want to lose weight is pathetic
I have lost over 100lbs and now wear size 4-6. I watch these shows when I feel like binging on bad foods. It’s a real wake up call! I love food and probably a food addict like all these people; yet being healthier and feeling like a human being is far better than ice cream, cookies, cake and French tries! They can do it if the really want to! 🙌👍🎉
I love this show its one of my favs! its breaks my heart when they don't comply with Dr. Nows orders. I lost over 100lbs in the span 3 years. I get it its HARD but I hate to see them fail. In the newest season none of them have found success. SUCKS.
Quite honestly I think Lisa is just biding her time until James dies so she doesn't have to deal with him anymore and just "helping to kill him" in the best way to get away with murder imaginable.....well played

I completely agree, as many of the contestants have behaviors consistent with addiction (such as getting angry if they can’t eat the unhealthy food that is killing them)
I'm a quadriplegic and this show inspires me to watch my weight because I did get a little heavy. I don't want to be more of a burden to my caretakers.
You’re not a burden.
so what do you do? just diet? Can you exercise at all? I honestly don't know if being quadriplegic means you can't move at all or if some people still have some movement. I was a caretaker for a friend with ALS I didn't know much about it at the time. I was shocked how quickly they lost ability of their limbs.
You are NOT a burden.
I do feel sorry for those who have childhood trauma...but not for the ones who are nasty to their family or caregiver!...many have supportive families but they lack self discipline and are just lazy and want to be taken care of.
Childhood trauma creates the nastiness that they have. No one is perfect including you. You are far from it
My exroomate who ate himself to death was like that to his caretakers and nurses and even his enabler for the two years iived with him he'd barricade himself in his room which I appreciated because he never took a shower and he used to stink.. always in pain..awful way to live and die .I'm shocked people make it to 700
Sometimes the family members are worse!
One weight loss tip for everyone staying at home is "portion control". As I watched this video, I was 'shocked' when I saw how much food was packed on the plate for Lee Sutton.
My main thought is always how terribly uncomfortable it looks to be this large.
So the ones with kids don't think they are messing up their kids which might lead the kids to have an addiction?
This is so sad. Their children quitting school to take care of their parents😭
Well one of the Ashley’s did because she actually lost weight for her 5 year old son patrick

These obese persons can get real angry if they are not supplied with food.
Being obese is enormous SELFISH. Others wash/shower them, many wear diapers which have to be changed often with the huge amount of food they eat. They belittle themselves for many reasons. WHO PAYS ALL THAT FOOD, the cars and house as husband/wife/life partner are their 24/7 caretakers. The family has no life except from going to get food. MILLIONS have divorced parents, got abused and/or raped and are NOT OBESE.

What a waste of the Drs time.

Wait wait it was the “maggots living in the folds of her skin” for me!?!?!
How can maggots get in there
I've worked with addicts for the last 10 years and for the most part the only difference between a food habit and a drug habit is family members don't usually give the addict drugs directly like food addicts families do
Are you serious? The man whale was abusive and cheated on his girlfriend?! 😯
And she took him back!!
Man whale. 😩
Schenne Murray - I got so mad when I saw that episode 😠😡
The “water weight” comment set me off!

HOW!?
Lol
Eric Rivera a really ugly one
And then got the nerve to start a go fund me 😂😂😂
I watch this every night or try to watch this every night get up in the morning to go workout and I'm totally motivated and when I'm working out I think about these people
Some of these people seem to be very selfish, only about themselves.
When you look closer, they even appear to have supportive people around, taking care of them. Support that a lot of people don't have. No excuse for these behaviors!
No healthcare workers should be getting bullied, insulted by uncooperative, selfish, mean individuals like some of these people!
@Be the Best, You can be!
Please, be clear.

They feel entitled and use their trauma as an excuse to treat people the way they do. The enablers feel guilty or just want to keep the peace which is why they’ve continue to give in
Everyone in this world is selfish
As a healthcare worker, thanks for the support against bullying!

I grew up with Cynthia (Wells) as a child. It’s so crazy seeing them and their home we (my siblings and her children) played in as kids on the show. I’m happy for her ! ❤️😊
Sneaking pizza into the hospital like you'd smuggle a gram of coke into rehab 😂
So sad. I worry if I get close to 200 lbs. This program keeps me motivated to get my weight down and keep it down.
I think therapy should be mandatory when they do this show. So many of these people have dysmorphia and underlying emotional issues that cause the eating issues. Can fix the problem without getting to the root.
As a therapist I agree with this!
So I had the sleeve done and it was mandatory to have a psychological evaluation done before even having surgery and if I didn't pass that then I wouldn't have been able to have surgery. These people should have to go through this as well.
I just said this! So tru
Geneva Gasper what’s a sleeve
Thry do offer them therapy
I was waiting for the woman who was frying chicken in the bed 😂
Bri D That chicken was so pretty and golden brown! Never forget!
I think that was Marla
I remember that and it was hilarious who does that lol
Bri D, a deep fryer on a two-legged card table with the other 1/2 of the table balanced on the obese woman’s lap. Unforgettable TV history.
U stupid 🤣🤣🤣🤣
schenee was the one that pissed me off the most.
Angelica C yesssss can’t stand her
DO YOU BELIE IN GAAAAHH
She was something else 😳😳
Same
Her name is even annoying
“King started a gofundme that is no longer active...”
Yeah, he’s dead.
Every person should watch these.
I’ve never understood how they can afford the food, rent on and on I can’t see SSI giving them a lot but then again.....
I may be wrong but I think I read somewhere that u can get disability for being obese. Which is bs
@@Krysanya i dont think it's right that they get disability when they purposely over eating. I have an aunt that had a bad stroke where she could hardly walk and she couldnt work and they have denied her disability 3 Times.
@@jennygarza9539 ok I may have it wrong. That's for clarafing my mistake hun. Have a good day!
@@Krysanya maybe i worded it wrong. I didnt mean that you were wrong about them getting ssi. I heard that they do. I was just meaning in my opinion that i dont think its fair.
@@jennygarza9539 oh ok. I just heard that which is so sad cuz my dad tried for years to get disability he has broken his back 3 times before and has metal plates and pins all over so when I heard this obese women got help before him,I was i very hurt
I have no sympathy for those wasting the gift of being on this show, when they don’t learn & change, they are keeping others from the program.
Doctor Now’s favorite word is definitely DELUSIONAL 🤪😂🤣😂🤣
Since seeing this last year, I lost 30 pounds. Awesome motivation. Thanks Dr Now
I weigh 265 right now and I'm going to a appointment next week to schedule my bypass surgery. This is a real eye opener for me
How are you doing?
Imagine having to quit school because u have to feed your 600lb father ? I would disown him
Outrageous. I think he died.
@@mjef3695 correct, he passed away
This is dude is 700 hundred pounds and is cheating on his girlfriend with a married woman what how.
Food addiction, like all addictions, is a byproduct of an inability to cope. Dealing with underlying issues must be a part of the program of recovery or any positive results will be short lived.
I'm currently really overweight (about 120kgs and I'm 165cm) i'm slowly working on it by healthier eating and doing physical activity that I can. Only buying coffees from work now and calorie counting.
Seeing a dietician and psychologist as well to help overcome issues.
I was abused by a family member, suffered a miscarriage and it took two years for me to get pregnant. I didn't turn to food or blame anyone for my situation. I didn't gain weight. I fought thru all of my problems
The latest season of the show has been so utterly depressing very little progress for most. I really think they need to set up a better system for patients. Like nutrition classes ect. It’s a terrible addiction as you have to eat to survive. In saying that some of these patients really piss me off as do their enablers 🙏
You can be abused, raped, kidnapped, etc. but you’re the one who poisons yourself. You gotta understand that if you’re feeling emotions, you can choose to run away from it or heal from it.
That applies to all addicts.
NikaLovesMJ I’m so sorry about what happened to you. And I hope you continue to progress to the place you should be. ❤️ you got this
PREACH IT. Couldn't have said it better.
NikaLovesMJ Your welcome. And I like yours too. Mj ❤️
Unfortunately you can't tell children to choose to heal or not, and these children grow up not knowing how to deal with emotions
This just goes to show how strong food addiction can be for some people. Food is everywhere you live.
I love how every creature gets a sob story in the beginning in order to give themselves an emotional scapegoat. We all have issues, and most people don’t abuse others around us unlike these creatures
Penny is my dad's cousin's ex wife and we used to be close. When I was little, she had not gained all this weight. I know she's been through a lot of crazy shit. But I 100% understand why everyone gets so frustrated.
It's hard to deal with people who are in denial about their issues.
True
Whaaaat? He cheated? How in the hell?
I was wondering the same thing this dude was bedbound
Add the catfisher Ashley to this list who didn't even really belong. James is my favorite, he's a character for real!
Ashley T was a despicable and ignorant mess. I understand trauma can change a persons personality and behavior , but her character and habits was gross.
MsBaileyLayne she really was just on there for TV I’m convinced
@MsBaileyLayne , I was going to say the same.
I bet she gets in on that lawsuit against the production company.
Didn’t he pass away
JustMe he passed away April 3rd
Addiction to ANYTHING is incredibly difficult. My husband is a recovering addict and I will NEVER truly understand how he feels. Food addiction must have the same problems and impact.
Pauline was also on "supersize vs super skinny"
Edit: she looks gorgeous now tho I'm so proud of her!
I keep trying to be understanding but most of them are very manipulative, abusive, and selfish
This show is a show I watch everynight to remind myself I must never be like that.
These people seem to have perfected the art of eating while lying down. And I notice in several shots there's always a huge plate of scrambled eggs of some kind.
Idk why 'huge plate of scrambled eggs...' just stopped me in my tracks! Im 🤣😂🤣
Scrambled eggs 🤣🤣🤣🤣
the fact that james had his daughter drop out of school because of his addiction disgusts me terribly. leave the kids out of it. her mom should be equally ashamed.
My parents watch this show all the time, I sit in their room often and watch it with them sometimes. It's honestly a big workout motivation, though I feel bad for those who had a bad past, I don't think turning to food was the right option...
No one really chooses to become an addict. There are a lot of factors. Pain causes one to do things that they usually wouldn't. There comes a point when the hurt gets so bad that you'll do just about anything to ease it even a little. If you don't have any coping skills it quickly becomes a situation that one can no longer control without help.
I lost 20 pounds in a month. I started at 214
How did you do it?
Tips?!
Congrats! 👏👏👏🙃
Schenee is definitely a piece of work.. she actually has her own channel, Journey On The Go. She's living in her car and still eating bad, she claims to have lost weight but I really don't believe that. Also her little "DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD" comment when she was on the phone with Dr. Now (look that up too).. as for the mom who said "i don't want no fat ass daughter" 😡 when you become a parent, you need to be their biggest cheerleader and help them in every way possible. She clearly doesn't give a rats ass. some mother. We all go through traumatic experiences, but it's up to us whether we want to let it morph us into better people or if we want to continue, let it ruin us completely. It takes a real strong person to pick themselves back up and want better.

James died this week at the age of 49. If you remember LB, he committed suicide a couple of years ago.
U know this show doesn't tell all the facts. Alot of past patients have died. Dr. Now, has been sued several times and most were success stories. The body of a 500+ should not be put under anesthesia. It's like rolling the dice of death for people already in critical condition!💯💯 Love the show though I often find myself wanting all of them to succeed and pissed when they dont!😅😅💯💯
🙏🙏🙏
Vaya con diablos to all the subjects whom have died.
@@its420somewhererightnow Im sure when he does surgery on 500+ people its because the risk is justified as death is the only other option.
He likely has them sign waivers saying as much to protect him from any litigation.
@@JoaniesJourney Agreed!💯💯
Way to go, Pauline (Potter)!! You did it- you look GREAT!!👍
Currently in the US there are people who can't afford their food AND their medicine, or food and heat. However, each episode of this show has a person who somehow affords (without a job) HUGE quantities of food, including expensive snacks and junk food. Then the person has to move to Houston for what is probably an incredibly expensive surgery, then often have home health or a dietician AND counseling. Many times there are multiple ambulance or medical-transport services. I'm sure the show pays for some of this, but the cost of it all must be simply staggering.
This show makes me unspeakably uncomfortable, as someone who's had a weight loss surgery and struggled with my weight my whole life. I dunno why, I just have awful fear of myself ending up there... the procedure won't work unless you change your lifestyle and are motivated yourself to put in the work. It's so important to realize it isn't an instant fix.
Most setting up Go Fund Me. Makes me sick. How about Go FIND u a freakin job.
Go find u a freakin jog
Christie, you must be one of them or related to one! They need to get off their lazy asses! 👌
They're huge! How can they work?!
@@aminafathi8495 EXACTLY! They can't even get out of bed!
amina fathi : home office like most had to do during Covid-19.
They all show their expensive laptops where they play games on and watch other things PLUS ORDER FOOD to their homes...
They aren't "stars" though! They are patients and participants on the programme. Not stars!
Ohhh I'm carrying a lot of water is one of the best excuses some of them come out with 😂😄😆
On occasion I watch these episodes because it reminded me that I never want to end up like this, so when I'm struggling to work out this always motivates me
Steven Ashanti should be used as a human shield in syria
Kalem Kilkelly 😭😭😭
Most obnoxious. He and Ashley Taylor.
Too bad people won't be able to move that shield with ease
bruh 💀💀
chill out 💀💀
What about Joyce from the recent season. I remember her faking a heart attack
James is one of the top 3 people that made me sick and angry. The fact that he had his daughter drop out of school to take care of him and he still doesn’t want to lose weight is pathetic
I have lost over 100lbs and now wear size 4-6. I watch these shows when I feel like binging on bad foods. It’s a real wake up call! I love food and probably a food addict like all these people; yet being healthier and feeling like a human being is far better than ice cream, cookies, cake and French tries! They can do it if the really want to! 🙌👍🎉
I love this show its one of my favs! its breaks my heart when they don't comply with Dr. Nows orders. I lost over 100lbs in the span 3 years. I get it its HARD but I hate to see them fail. In the newest season none of them have found success. SUCKS.
Good for you! I hope you’re keeping it off. I need to lose weight 50 lbs.
Congratulations. great accomplishment
Quite honestly I think Lisa is just biding her time until James dies so she doesn't have to deal with him anymore and just "helping to kill him" in the best way to get away with murder imaginable.....well played
Welp she succeeded
@@kfire2567 called it. Hope the fat abusive bastard rots
James was the worst! He made my blood boil by not even trying even tnough his father refinanced his house to fund the trip to Houston.
Has anyone noticed they live on our tax money yet have tattoo's, nails etc.. Extras we can't get.
You can do nails yourself and many of those tattoos are 20 years old
I'm a super fan, and waiting for the seasons premiere!
I have suffered with weight issues for most of my life. BUT people don't get THIS big unless there are enablers around.
