Two game-changers: 1. this great article explained french people eat until their stomach is 90% full... and you know when you are there when you take this little breath/sigh... if you eat more, you feel uncomfortably stuffed. 2. I began making myself stop then and put whatever was left away instead of finishing what was left, even if it meant putting a few bite-worth in the refrigerator. Learning to listen to my body and stopping at that point changed the way I eat.
What I love about Ken and Dane, they talk about weight gain, over eating etc. it makes you feel less alone in that, well it does for me, though I'm losing weight now (60lbs so far), hearing people openly talk about struggling, and a lot of what they have said particularly in this video I've felt myself and they don't judge, it's nice to hear
It's a constant battle. Congratulations on your progress towards your goals so far! That's really awesome!! I also lost a lot of weight a few years ago, but then I kinda got stuck, so I'm not where I'd like to be yet (but at least I kept most the weight that I lost off, which in itself is a victory) and sometimes I gain weight again and lose it again, so I'm yo-yo-ing a little at the moment due to external stressors in my life at the moment - it's hard to fight the weight-loss war if you have other things that you have to also deal with, because focusing on changing your relationship with food or food addiction is a full-time thing. You are doing awesome and you can be very proud of yourself for that - just wanted to tell you 🌸
I'm diabetic, and its a struggle every day to stick with the diet every day. Yesterday I was out with friends and I looked at the desert cases and realised that those things didn't look good, or even real. They looked like movie props or something. It was a great feeling to know that, even if it was temporary. You dont just succeed once, you fail and succeed ever day.
There are so many aspects that go into becoming addicted to food. It's sad because she sounds like she really wants to lose weight, and from this clip she was going out and being active, but I think psychologically she's stuck. She mentioned that food was her reward from her mother growing up, and it was comforting. Being homeless as a child and then again as an adult is traumatic, and food was most likely the only thing that helped nullify that pain. Then on top of that she lost her husband which brings back that need for something to help the pain. I understand how frustrating it would be for her that her best friend is losing weight and she isn't. But she shouldn't want her to fail, it should push her to want to lose weight more imo. I hope that she doesn't end up like Tammy and becomes bitter towards everyone.
Wanting to lose weight is not the issue. Its the wanting to keep eating that's the issue. Like, most people would want $1000 this week, however most people also wouldn't want to work 23 hours a day the whole week to make that $1000. Similarly with her, she maybe wants to lose weight but that's irrelevant to losing weight. It's what she wants as far as activities/actions she can do to lose that weight that matters (such as her wanting to eat so much). Wanting things with no plan does nothing. Wanting the plan itself leads to actual motivation. Back to the $1000 idea, if I said it is only 1 hour of work for the whole week then most people would be highly motivated because they want *both* , the money and the plan.
Addiction is a sad thing that happens when people are searching for escapism and some kind of pleasure/happiness response. That goes for drugs, food, alcohol, all of that.
I have to say when I was homeless with an infant… those easy and quick creature comforts (which are almost always unhealthy) really do give you a small boost! Cheap cigs, cheap dollar menu burgers, cheap soda…wish the healthier stuff was cheaper than the unhealthy!
I'm so sorry you went through that. Protein bars from grocery outlet and fruits/veggies from the 99 cent store get me through poverty. It is healthy and more filling, also cheaper than takeout! I hope you are doing better now.
@@GlitterC8k yeah the 99 cent store had plenty of canned fruit and cereals that were always a good option. I’m actually great now! Married, 4 kids, live in Germany, and made my way in the world with my art! :) working on my degree now too! I hope you are well too!!!
I’ve never understood when people start a weight loss journey together and get upset with the other person for doing well. Especially when that person is putting in all the effort. I’ve been struggling to stay on my weight loss and exercise journey but my best friend has been extremely disciplined and has been doing amazing!! I’ve never felt any type of jealousy or anger at her cause she’s my best friend! I’m so proud of her and love seeing her succeed if anything it makes me feel more motivated. I think part of it is them wanting to place some blame on not staying on track to someone else like “she made it look so easy”
I think it's cause they're more angry at the situation than the person, but they take it out on the person. I've been through that (not with weight loss, but something else) where I've got to take a step back and go "Am I really angry at this person or something else? Is it right for them to be taking the brunt of this?"
I think people just can't admire other's successes when they are practiced in entitlement. Congrats to you and your friend for even TRYING. You'll see your successes soon!
I wonder if she was always able to feel superior to her friend, because she wasn't as heavy. Now the friend has lost weight and she has nothing to feel superior about. She's the 'fat' friend now.
It's jealousy, and anger at herself that she projects outward onto the people around her. Also, every time she sees her progress, it reminds her of her own failures
I think it's moreso they're angry at themselves for failing and projecting said anger towards the friend. Might be jealousy too, but I feel like there's a lot of hate towards themselves that has nowhere to go but towards the other person.
Did you guys know that TLC started out as a purely educational channel “The Learning Channel” and when the network was dying they started doing trashy reality TV shows to save it and it ended up being successful so they went all in to the TLC we know today
I honestly use to have a serious problem throwing away food, until one day my grandma said, "You know, it's just as wasteful to eat too much food as to throw it away." Then after years of thinking about it, that hit me like a brick that I need to make smaller portions for myself to eat. I know it sounds like 2+2=4 but it really helps when you find the right lens to look through.
all you guys haven't heard of leftover day when you eat random stuff out of the fridge for a meal. it might not all go together but it saves that extra food for another day and saves money by not buying dinner.
Thank you for being so open and honest about the struggle of losing weight. I feel like so many people just make fun of these women without understanding the struggle.
Man, Buff is the best. One of my very favorite sayings comes from a Japanese proverb: Fall down 7 times, stand up 8. I remember it when I fail, and I know that a ‘failure’ is just an outcome and I can make different choices to get different results.
Failing is OK, it's how we learn from our mistakes and grow! Keep your fighting spirit and don't give up! Before you know it, all those failures will lead you on the path to success! You got this! 👍
I struggled a lot with binge eating for a long time because of my mental health and my life situation, in 2021 I ended up spending 2k on takeouts it got that bad and I ended up with a bmi of 42 (275lbs). Watching your reaction videos to Tammy really helped motivate me to get my health back, I was suffering severe circulation problems so my legs always hurt my heart always hurt I couldn’t breathe very well and if I stood up for too long I would faint. I decided as my New Years resolution I wouldn’t give up this time and so far I’ve lost 10kg (17lbs) and I’m so much healthier and happier. Thank you for contributing to my success with your videos ☺️
My dad used to constantly tell me growing up, "there are kids starving in Africa and your gonna not gonna finish your plate?" Plus he was basically mommy dearest making me sit at the dinner table all night, and then not being allowed to eat anything days later until my dinner plate was finished. Kinda messed me up food wise
My dad did this too, also he worked with anorexic teens so he always made me finish my plate even if I didn't like what he made; now I can't throw food out unless it's obviously inedible
For me eating is an necessity, but also a luxury. I forget to eat sometimes and then I'm like, "welp I should eat." But sometimes I can't wait to eat. It's weird.
We are lucky we have options and bc we have those options, it's easy to forget unless we're in the mood. Because we have that choice. It's a necessity that I'm grateful to have as a luxury. Many people don't get food every day so it's easier when you do to not realize we NEED it. We're not deprived of it 💔
Food sometimes is my reason to live. No joke. Once when I was going to off myself, one of my friends was like "Listen, if you can't not die for anyone -- then do it for the fact you'll never get to eat your favorite food again - or try any new food again." ....and I was like "oh man.........you're right...." I cannot believe food was a reason I decided to step back from the precipice of death....still works on my worst days. "Don't you want to eat at Hell's Kitchen again? Can't do that if you're dead, chick!" ....Like---dang it brain, you got me there.
I think the important thing to focus on is that you decided to stay alive. Maybe it doesn't matter that much in that moment that it was because you were looking forward to a specific meal. I imagine folks have decided to give life a further go because they wanted to see the next episode of a TV show or a new makeup pallette or a new truck model. Just be glad you found something that gave you hope when you needed it most 💚🖤💚👊🏾
As someone who is just now graduating college after 6 years, I can understand what she means about wishing her friend would’ve failed. I’ve never wished that for any of my friends but as they all passed me up and started careers I started thinking I wish someone was going through this with me, but as you said ken I turned that into motivation to keep going and finish what I started and now will be graduating (albeit with a horrible gpa) and have multiple job prospects
thanks so much for sharing dude. this honestly motivated me too to start catching up on my course work. i’m going through the exact same thing and lately i’ve been getting into so many depressive slumps. all my friends are getting into their careers now, driving to their jobs, doing other things i can’t relate to. i’m in my fifth year and i thought i’d graduate by now. i blame things like the death of one of my parents, covid, childhood trauma etc. but i need to accept that everyone goes through life at a different pace.
It all stems from childhood. It’s just mind blowing how stuff that happened when you were a child follows you to adulthood. I had ED habits of binging when I was eight years old. I’m now 27 and still struggle with the same things.
i grew up in a family of fat people and i weighed a lot in middle school. i honestly thought for a long time that working out was an option or a lifestyle. something people chose to do because they wanted to. no one in my family ever did it so it didn't immediately click that exercising is a necessity for your HEALTH & not just to look good. 😬
It brought me a lot of peace to hear Ken and Dane talk about over eating and weight gain. I have stage 4 endometriosis and severe pcos. I just had surgery on Tuesday and my left ovary and fallopian tube were removed because they were no longer functioning. I've gained weight due to these illnesses and my depression. Hearing them talk about their struggles comforted me. Being 30 yrs old, being told by doctors that I'm infertile. Losing an organ, etc has mentally and physically messed with me. Watching Ken and Dane gives me moments of relief from this pain. You guys are such a blessing for me ❤
Its so hard to not compare yourself to others. I don't think that lady resents her friend for being healthier. But you're right, she doesn't want to be left behind and it's hard to not sound like you're jealous. As Americans we have so many hurdles to overcome, all by ourselves, personal responsibility even in matters of health & mental health. But you'll hear people say it takes a village to raise a child. I think it takes a village, to make a healthy village and villagers. We have to help each other & build each other up to avoid these situations & jealous feelings. Ok, off the soapbox. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
I think Vanessa has a great chance of losing her weight and getting healthy due to her being so self aware; shes like the opposite of Tammy who is not aware about anything basically
They both are doing really good Vanessa just got approved for her surgery and got down to under 400 pounds like the Dr asked her to the other dark haired 🕐 lost alot but not as much as the Dr wanted her to after her surgery she got really depressed and hit a place ware she stopped shedding pounds. The other 2 friends are trying and looking into surgery the short hair friend is scared to have surgery and wants to do it without and Megan I think her name is had the surgery before and now is looking into gastric bypass to lose weight because the other surgery she already had and it stopped working for her at a certain point. Idk if u watch the show but I thought I would update .
@@heathersargent289 Thank you for the update! I dont watch the show itself but stumble across videos from time to time but Im very happy for both of them! Its so motivating to see people succeed in things that they didnt think they could do
It's a nice change to see the fire in Vanessa. There's a real desire in her, she just has to get comfortable with stepping outside of her comfort zone and build her confidence. Her frustration can be used as motivation. Tammy won't put one foot over the line of her comfort zone. She exercises and eats a healthy meal one time and acts like that was a real effort. I agree that Tammy has no awareness but she also doesn't care. Vanessa at least wants it, she's just got to figure out how to get there.
@@sdetcho1 I think Vanessa figured it out when her son went with her and was heavier then her she moved out her sister's house that was keeping her down and just totally messing her diets up and she is really trying hard now she made it to 398 and the Dr wanted her 400 to approve her I really think she is gonna do great. In the beginning I had no hope for her at all she acted like she was comfortable being her size didn't want to change and get healthy for her and her kids and didn't want the surgery at all and now totally changed her mindset she really surprised me I am routing for her. Tammy on the other hand had the tool to do it got the surgery she did lose alot but not enough for that whole process to go threw I think she thought the surgery was just gonna be her miracle and she didn't have to put the work in it was just gonna magically make her skinny, hopefully she will put in the work before it's to late because that time is coming ware the surgery just won't work anymore because she should have already lost it by this time.
Guys I love this episode because of you two explaining what a lot of overweight people are going through I use it to strengthen my awareness of how much I eat because if you ignore it for too long I feel I will get to a point of no return ❤️
Im glad you acknlowedged that Ken, anyone could end up like this if you get a lot of pleasure from eating and go through traumatic experiences. Imagine being homeless as a child, food might not always be available, and the highlight of your day is your mom giving you a cookie as a reward, its not shocking that she ended up habitually overeating
I've watched more reality in the past month that i ever have (well as far back as I can remember) because Ken and Buffs reactions and the sense of suffering alongside others makes it so freaking bearable
I enjoy these 1,000 lb reactions because you guys are comedic, while still being respectful. And I enjoy your side conversations about your own personal struggles with weight and food.
My husband and I are trying to learn that it's okay to throw away food that is going to save well or isn't enough for another meal. After so long of going without, we feel obligated to eat all of the meal even if we are already full, so I feel what Dane is saying here
We freeze what we can. If it's something like sauce and there is not much we freeze it and add it to more we make when we make it so we can make less and add it
Could always freeze the left overs if it's a small amount and just do a day of eating those small amounts don't have to cook either unless you call microwaving or put something in the oven cooking
I totally feel what Ken is saying about being able to eat whatever he wanted a long time ago. I was underweight until I was 17, and then I started working at Culver's for a couple of years, and it started going downhill. I think I topped out at 200 pounds when I was 20, and I've finally gotten back down to 180. I'm also 6'2" so it doesn't really look like I weigh that much.
@@WileyJordan Normal BMI for 6'2" person is from 144.1 to 194.0. I know because I track my own BMI and I am 6'2". Now this doesn't indicate my activity levels (aka muscle mass versus fat). There are other indicators people should look at other then just flat out weight, but since that is all we have to go on the (because more wasn't offered) then that is what we are using.
A year ago, I drunkenly watched a youtube recommended video on my birthday. After being stunned by the phrase “if it’s your birthday, happy birthday” I immediately subscribed and have been watching these videos everyday since. Thank you ken and buff for making me laugh everyday and for wishing me happy birthday regardless of if it is actually my birthday :)
I’m so glad you guys had that discussion in the middle of how slippery the slope is to becoming extremely unhealthy. I’ve always had a sweet tooth and I spent my twenties binging as comfort after a bad break up and my mum being diagnosed with cancer. Couple years ago I was really beginning to feel the negative effects on my body, I’ve managed to lose 45 pounds, still another 10 to 20 I’d like to lose, but that needy binger is still inside. It’s hard when those habits are ingrained into your mind and body. Just glad to see I’m not alone in those struggles ❤️
I really feel for these people in these shows,. I power lift, so my diet consists of anywhere between 3,500 to 4,500 calories a day and I'd be lying if I said a lot of times I don't enjoy eating that of course I do. Food is my comfort I love cooking. It was part of my childhood. It just doesn't seem like it because I'm a massive guy that works out all the time. If I didn't enjoy working out I'd be in real trouble. I just hope all these people find it in themselves to live a wholesome happy life. And Ken and buff I've been watching your videos for years now thanks for all the hours and hours of entertainment you guys are the best
@@gamingyoshi2280 I know. It still makes me sad. Food is meant to sustain and comfort. When people have an addiction to something that's a necessity in life, I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to stop.
I'm fighting to keep myself from gaining back to 300. I was 322, and I'm now 224. I've lost and gain through it. I'd rather lose and gain to lose more than to give up and keep gaining.
11:38 as someone with anxiety I can relate to this I want to be a dancer but seeing videos makes it look easy but it's hard. Not only that, fear of people judging you because of how you move its scary. I'm trying to overcome this obstacle but trust me it's difficult
I totally understand why she said she wished her friend had a harder time losing weight because she's hurting and wishes she had someone to fight with her. She feels like she is being judged by everyone because she has had a harder time losing weight when her friend did it so much easier.
6:46 Interestingly, I deal with this exact issue Dane is. I grew up in a Mexican immigrant family in the USA. We were extremely poor and rarely had food. So whenever I was presented with food, it was an extremely rare luxury, I forced myself to eat everything. Throwing away food was extremely unthinkable at the time. And now 20+ years later I suffer with this eating issue. I can't throw food away, I always empty my plate. And thanks to this issue I gained a lot of weight. I have gone through diets, and all sorts of nutritionalists. They can only pin point it to a psychological eating disorder due to childhood trauma. I always get upset when I can't finish my food, I even get upset when people throw away food. I can relate to Dane so much here. I'm actually crying a bit because I thought I was alone on this. Thank you so much for sharing.
Just found you guys- I totally get everything you said about eating and the desire to overeat. These shows help us reflect- like you said. Thanks for keeping it real!
Again, thank you for posting. Your honest conversations with eachother are refreshing and encouraging. I live with an eating disorder, etc, and this sort of content is really helpful. You're both honest about your experiences and watch these clips openly and honestly... I really like these girls because of that. Tammy etc are good entertainment, but again, it's refreshing to hear people being honest about their struggles. Anyway, thanks for all the effort you put into these videos x
She clearly has a lot of emotional issues and shes aware of it, i think with the right therapist she could do really well. Shes very frustrated with herself and gets mad at herself for not being able to do things right away, which i totally relate to. Therapy can definitely help
I interpreted this as Vanessa being honest about the feelings of jealousy she has, she never tried to justify it. When you get to later episodes you'll see she seems pretty emotionally intelligent and empathetic.
Bro the whole weight conversion hit home. Our entire culture is messed up with what we think are proper portion sizes for our meals. My grandma used to feed me more when I was little because I was a kid with a fast metabolism. Unintentionally it taught me to eat that amount as a normal amount as as I got older and my metabolism slowed I still ate the same.
I don’t want my friends to fail, but what she really needs is recognition that she is doing something that’s really hard. I understand the emotions behind what she’s saying, even if I could never say the same thing.
I can even imagine being that big. Even at my heaviest I wasn't even close to their level of obese, but being a bigger size than I'd even been before was a huge struggle for me. I felt uncomfortable in my own body. Moving around was hard. Basically anything besides sitting/laying down was a chore. When I was younger I struggled with anorexia. Once I was finally able to make myself eat regularly it turned into "wow, I really love food" and I just ballooned from there because I was now overeating instead of starving myself. I still have a long ways to go in terms of learning to eat healthier foods without stuffing myself and making myself be active and exercise. Dane is 100% right if you fail at first just keep trying. You'll get there 💜
Thank you both for being so honest about eating. I believe that everyone wants you both to be around for a long time. I know that it's hard to say no to food. I wish you the best!
i have never felt more safe on a channel and that all thanks to ken and dane. thank you for addressing such a common issue that no one seems to like to talk about. we appreciate and love you guys 💟
Actually, knowing that you're not alone with such problems helps you on emotional level to cope with it. So thank you Ken ❤️ And good luck to everyone, you are strong and beautiful✨
I really appreciate that I can click on your videos and I never know whether I'm gonna be laughing, or just whole-heartedly agreeing with you are saying. Very few content creators are as easy to listen to and as well-rounded as the two of you. Your reaction videos always make my day better, thank you for consistent delivery over the years
I love CTK and Buff for being so open about their weight and struggling with the knowledge that they're overweight and not doing much about it. It's been my struggle for a few years now. I've been a thin mint my entire life. Once I turned 27, my body was like "remember all those times you ate ENTIRE pizzas? Well.. I do." 😂 I'm not even that overweight but for some weird reason, I want to eat and not do anything else. I'm 5'4 148 pounds. That's literally only 8 pounds overweight which seems like a small amount but my joooooints feeeel iiiit! I'm used to being 120.. I think once you hit a certain point, you're both depressed about the weight gain and completely unmotivated to do anything about it. It's an odd feeling and no one WANTS to be so overweight they can't move, but Goddamn food addiction and childhood trauma really plays a huge role in your life.
Hey Ken, you've mentioned a few times now that its a stressful and a lot of pressure having a job where peoples opinions matter and stuff. And I get that. But I want you to know you are a wonderful human, at least from what we see. Even in your not so great moments, you have a good way with your words and choose fairly carefully, without sounding filtered. I'm not sure what the word is, maybe diplomatic? I've disagreed with a few things you've said over the years, but its such an easy thing to move past because we all have our opinions and experiences. Anyway, I just really want you to know, that you rock. You have a lot of viewers and fans because we enjoy YOU. I know its easy to feel judged and I'm sure there's hate I don't see, but you truly are a great entertainer. All that being said, you deserve peace of mind. Take a little time if you need it. Do videos you wanna do. I understand supply and demand but many of us here are because we enjoy you and not just what you make. Your fans will really enjoy anything you make. And will always understand if you need time to do your thing. Please try to release some of this weight and allow yourself to not feel so pressured to please and fit into molds and such. You are very easy to listen to, witty/clever, have good info, and you're just easy to watch. You rock Ken. Please enjoy yourself!! You deserve to relax and unwind too.
Ken, my girlfriend and I like watching your reviews of this type of content cuz it actually helps remind us why we're making life style choices to be healthier. You buff Felix mark etc have all motivated us to be healthier, you know how hard that can be. These videos help us remember that if we give into the feeling of stopping and giving up, that this is our future. And we want to live long healthy lives and see the world, so it isnt an option! Just sometimes we need a gentle reminder of whag were fighting for and you guys help with that while giving some good laughs / insight !
The way ken started talking abt his own relationship with food and everything. And Dane! I could say so many things about ken and Dane and everything they do but in short yall are so many of our comfort TH-camrs thank y’all for creating this community
I understand when she wants her friend to fail. I’ve been there. It’s not truly wanting your friend to fail, it’s really about wanting to not be a failure. These are thoughts that you keep in your head or in this case, you say in a confessional. Because she probably feels like she keeps proving that she’s broken. If only her friend had a hard time, then it would be proof to her that other people suffer too. That she isn’t the only one who’s “pathetic.” She resents that her friend found the strength to push forward, but she can’t. I often think to myself “Why can’t I be normal?! Why can’t I just do it?” Sometimes it feels like my body and brain just shut down and I legitimately cannot move myself to do anything. So, I don’t think she actually hates her friend, she hates herself.
You've gotta practice. I make my own garden beds. First one I made, I used a hand saw for metal instead of wood, used self tapping screws (non-wood) and that shit bowed like nothing else. Now, it's perfect. I learned from my mistakes, learned how to improve. And even added a small sprinkler system to them :D
im relatively young, and most of my life i could eat what i wanted and i didnt retain wait. but this last year i was completely alone, i worked from home in the dark, i barely saw outside, i nearly took my life. and through that i am now over 50 pounds heavier than i have ever been and it is now a struggle to lose the weight. i never had this problem before and i always thought once i put my mind to it the weight will just shed off, once im happy ill go back, once i work in person ill get more steps in, but i have come to realize that all though all of those things will help, my body is different now. my metabolism is different, the way i process things is different. and watching these shows and hearing Ken and Dane talk about it really validates that there is SO much more that goes into losing weight than just eating better, its an entire lifestyle change even if the lifestyle was the one youve always lived. and for me personally for it to be a change i am focusing on being consistant and not so much on the immediate results. because i can starve myself and lose like 5 pounds of water weight or what ever and like constantly fear the scale or just stick to some guidelines and actually consistantly get better
BRO HOW AM I SO EARLY, i love your channel and you guys make me laugh and i look forward to all of your new videos 😊you are hilarious and have a keen eye, have a great day you guys, and your families
I like that Buff points out not liking wasting food. I struggle with that too. I was always taught you shouldn’t throw away food and my family always said you have to finish your plate so now I over indulge because I’m so used to having to finish food even if I’m full. We don’t stop eating when full we just base it off not wasting and it’s not healthy
The thing about " not enough to save for a next meal" I think of that as a snack or for breakfast. I will literally eat whatever for breakfast - granted I never eat a lot when I first get up. I dunno if that helps anyone but I was raised to NEVER throw away food due to our financial situation.
It honestly makes me feel incredibly better knowing that I am not the only one struggling with foods and having the exact same mindset as Ken and Diane. We can only try everyday and hope to better ourselves the best we can! ☺️
Definitely more enjoyable than running 😆 I always put some good music on and turn it into a dance session. Super easy to use once you have the rhythm going
“What do you want?” “*Some* burgers would be nice.” As someone who’s had a fair share of struggles with eating disorders, I feel for him but at the same time, jesus christ… Also the little kid is the most reasonable person in that car.
GAMING CHANNEL! bit.ly/3LfDRJ3
you don't even know how mood rings work xD
this channel is for 5 year olds, and adults who will never go anywhere in life. i gotta stop watching these videos
@@baileescott401 damn, you mad huh?
Two game-changers:
1. this great article explained french people eat until their stomach is 90% full... and you know when you are there when you take this little breath/sigh... if you eat more, you feel uncomfortably stuffed.
2. I began making myself stop then and put whatever was left away instead of finishing what was left, even if it meant putting a few bite-worth in the refrigerator.
Learning to listen to my body and stopping at that point changed the way I eat.
why does food comfort and kill you xD ?
What I love about Ken and Dane, they talk about weight gain, over eating etc. it makes you feel less alone in that, well it does for me, though I'm losing weight now (60lbs so far), hearing people openly talk about struggling, and a lot of what they have said particularly in this video I've felt myself and they don't judge, it's nice to hear
It's a constant battle. Congratulations on your progress towards your goals so far! That's really awesome!!
I also lost a lot of weight a few years ago, but then I kinda got stuck, so I'm not where I'd like to be yet (but at least I kept most the weight that I lost off, which in itself is a victory) and sometimes I gain weight again and lose it again, so I'm yo-yo-ing a little at the moment due to external stressors in my life at the moment - it's hard to fight the weight-loss war if you have other things that you have to also deal with, because focusing on changing your relationship with food or food addiction is a full-time thing.
You are doing awesome and you can be very proud of yourself for that - just wanted to tell you 🌸
I'm diabetic, and its a struggle every day to stick with the diet every day. Yesterday I was out with friends and I looked at the desert cases and realised that those things didn't look good, or even real. They looked like movie props or something. It was a great feeling to know that, even if it was temporary. You dont just succeed once, you fail and succeed ever day.
So nice to hear I love these men
Congratulations on your weight loss! 60 pounds is impressive!
Skin and organs are relatable content
shes different from tammy, she went through so much more, and shes actually trying. im proud of her and i hope she succeeds!
Wait why we gotta compare the two humans?
@@1god2savem37 because they're both on TLC for the same reasons lol it's easy to compare them
YALL HERE AMY GOT ARRESTED!?
Thb, i can appreciate that she can be so open about her insecurity and jealousy. She's not in denial like Tammy
There are so many aspects that go into becoming addicted to food. It's sad because she sounds like she really wants to lose weight, and from this clip she was going out and being active, but I think psychologically she's stuck. She mentioned that food was her reward from her mother growing up, and it was comforting. Being homeless as a child and then again as an adult is traumatic, and food was most likely the only thing that helped nullify that pain. Then on top of that she lost her husband which brings back that need for something to help the pain. I understand how frustrating it would be for her that her best friend is losing weight and she isn't. But she shouldn't want her to fail, it should push her to want to lose weight more imo. I hope that she doesn't end up like Tammy and becomes bitter towards everyone.
Wanting to lose weight is not the issue. Its the wanting to keep eating that's the issue.
Like, most people would want $1000 this week, however most people also wouldn't want to work 23 hours a day the whole week to make that $1000.
Similarly with her, she maybe wants to lose weight but that's irrelevant to losing weight. It's what she wants as far as activities/actions she can do to lose that weight that matters (such as her wanting to eat so much).
Wanting things with no plan does nothing. Wanting the plan itself leads to actual motivation.
Back to the $1000 idea, if I said it is only 1 hour of work for the whole week then most people would be highly motivated because they want *both* , the money and the plan.
@@kiraPh1234k "A goal without a plan is just a wish."
@@Dayzee1081 Excellent wording
Addiction is a sad thing that happens when people are searching for escapism and some kind of pleasure/happiness response. That goes for drugs, food, alcohol, all of that.
Either ways she's still doing better than Tammy since she actually walks
I have to say when I was homeless with an infant… those easy and quick creature comforts (which are almost always unhealthy) really do give you a small boost! Cheap cigs, cheap dollar menu burgers, cheap soda…wish the healthier stuff was cheaper than the unhealthy!
Eating healthy at home is much much cheaper than eating take out
@@autumnburton2091 Bruh... she literally said she was "homeless".
@@spiwolf6998 I’m aware…that doesn’t change my point. I was responding to her last sentence
I'm so sorry you went through that. Protein bars from grocery outlet and fruits/veggies from the 99 cent store get me through poverty. It is healthy and more filling, also cheaper than takeout! I hope you are doing better now.
@@GlitterC8k yeah the 99 cent store had plenty of canned fruit and cereals that were always a good option. I’m actually great now! Married, 4 kids, live in Germany, and made my way in the world with my art! :) working on my degree now too! I hope you are well too!!!
I’ve never understood when people start a weight loss journey together and get upset with the other person for doing well. Especially when that person is putting in all the effort. I’ve been struggling to stay on my weight loss and exercise journey but my best friend has been extremely disciplined and has been doing amazing!! I’ve never felt any type of jealousy or anger at her cause she’s my best friend! I’m so proud of her and love seeing her succeed if anything it makes me feel more motivated. I think part of it is them wanting to place some blame on not staying on track to someone else like “she made it look so easy”
I think it's cause they're more angry at the situation than the person, but they take it out on the person. I've been through that (not with weight loss, but something else) where I've got to take a step back and go "Am I really angry at this person or something else? Is it right for them to be taking the brunt of this?"
I think people just can't admire other's successes when they are practiced in entitlement. Congrats to you and your friend for even TRYING. You'll see your successes soon!
I wonder if she was always able to feel superior to her friend, because she wasn't as heavy. Now the friend has lost weight and she has nothing to feel superior about. She's the 'fat' friend now.
It's jealousy, and anger at herself that she projects outward onto the people around her. Also, every time she sees her progress, it reminds her of her own failures
I think it's moreso they're angry at themselves for failing and projecting said anger towards the friend. Might be jealousy too, but I feel like there's a lot of hate towards themselves that has nowhere to go but towards the other person.
Did you guys know that TLC started out as a purely educational channel “The Learning Channel” and when the network was dying they started doing trashy reality TV shows to save it and it ended up being successful so they went all in to the TLC we know today
yup used to watch it all the time as a kid
Sounds like how a lot of TH-camrs' channels have "evolved," also. 😂
Hmm, I did not know that
@@bulletproofair lol fr tho 😭
@@n8archy121 nah me neither
I honestly use to have a serious problem throwing away food, until one day my grandma said, "You know, it's just as wasteful to eat too much food as to throw it away." Then after years of thinking about it, that hit me like a brick that I need to make smaller portions for myself to eat. I know it sounds like 2+2=4 but it really helps when you find the right lens to look through.
I have the exact opposite of this problem. I'm fat so i always feel guilty when i finish my food. I have to have some leftover. I'm still fat tho lol
It all turns to poo in the end.
all you guys haven't heard of leftover day when you eat random stuff out of the fridge for a meal. it might not all go together but it saves that extra food for another day and saves money by not buying dinner.
Thank you for being so open and honest about the struggle of losing weight. I feel like so many people just make fun of these women without understanding the struggle.
I've been looking at myself in a negative light lately. With Dane talking about how it's ok to fail at first, really brought up my mood.
Dane is the best. That part hit hard also.
It took a long time for me to learn but failure isnt always bad, you have to make mistakes to learn
Man, Buff is the best. One of my very favorite sayings comes from a Japanese proverb: Fall down 7 times, stand up 8. I remember it when I fail, and I know that a ‘failure’ is just an outcome and I can make different choices to get different results.
Failing is OK, it's how we learn from our mistakes and grow! Keep your fighting spirit and don't give up! Before you know it, all those failures will lead you on the path to success! You got this! 👍
They don't just make us giggle, but they do share relatable personal experiences that could be helpful for many of us.
I got a Dairy Queen add on this video. Their motto is "Happy tastes good." 😬 Right after she is saying how her mom comforted her with food.
Perfect product placement.
Rice krispie squares for me haha
I struggled a lot with binge eating for a long time because of my mental health and my life situation, in 2021 I ended up spending 2k on takeouts it got that bad and I ended up with a bmi of 42 (275lbs). Watching your reaction videos to Tammy really helped motivate me to get my health back, I was suffering severe circulation problems so my legs always hurt my heart always hurt I couldn’t breathe very well and if I stood up for too long I would faint. I decided as my New Years resolution I wouldn’t give up this time and so far I’ve lost 10kg (17lbs) and I’m so much healthier and happier. Thank you for contributing to my success with your videos ☺️
That's great to hear! I'm glad you're making progress!! 😁😁😁😁😁
Keep up the hard work!
That's awesome! Hang in there!
Do it! You'll feel so much better. And don't worry about set backs, we all have them. Just keep trying. Always keep trying. ❤
That's awesome! Good job 😊💕
I'm at 41.3 bmi so you're not alone, I've been out of a job for a year and gained like 40 pounds. I'm struggling now to try and get it back down.
My dad used to constantly tell me growing up, "there are kids starving in Africa and your gonna not gonna finish your plate?" Plus he was basically mommy dearest making me sit at the dinner table all night, and then not being allowed to eat anything days later until my dinner plate was finished. Kinda messed me up food wise
My dad did this too, also he worked with anorexic teens so he always made me finish my plate even if I didn't like what he made; now I can't throw food out unless it's obviously inedible
@@Nunderpants Dang I'm sorry that happened
My family called me picky as a kid but now that I’ve got an oven, they just couldn’t cook 😂
Side note, Dane looks so much more well rested since having his tonsils out. Glad to see you looking bright and recovered man ❤️
For me eating is an necessity, but also a luxury. I forget to eat sometimes and then I'm like, "welp I should eat." But sometimes I can't wait to eat. It's weird.
Same!! Its so weird
We are lucky we have options and bc we have those options, it's easy to forget unless we're in the mood. Because we have that choice. It's a necessity that I'm grateful to have as a luxury. Many people don't get food every day so it's easier when you do to not realize we NEED it. We're not deprived of it 💔
I think honestly it depends on our general emotions and thoughts of that day, and how we’re coping with them. At least that’s how it works for me.
Those slap bracelets. Yes! Buff knows what's up 🤣
Those were fun and got in trouble in school for those being distracting haha
i miss those
Food sometimes is my reason to live. No joke. Once when I was going to off myself, one of my friends was like "Listen, if you can't not die for anyone -- then do it for the fact you'll never get to eat your favorite food again - or try any new food again." ....and I was like "oh man.........you're right...."
I cannot believe food was a reason I decided to step back from the precipice of death....still works on my worst days. "Don't you want to eat at Hell's Kitchen again? Can't do that if you're dead, chick!" ....Like---dang it brain, you got me there.
I think the important thing to focus on is that you decided to stay alive. Maybe it doesn't matter that much in that moment that it was because you were looking forward to a specific meal. I imagine folks have decided to give life a further go because they wanted to see the next episode of a TV show or a new makeup pallette or a new truck model. Just be glad you found something that gave you hope when you needed it most 💚🖤💚👊🏾
Yo I use that exact same reasoning as well xD
glad ur still here though
@@delsol__ Thank you.
As someone who is just now graduating college after 6 years, I can understand what she means about wishing her friend would’ve failed. I’ve never wished that for any of my friends but as they all passed me up and started careers I started thinking I wish someone was going through this with me, but as you said ken I turned that into motivation to keep going and finish what I started and now will be graduating (albeit with a horrible gpa) and have multiple job prospects
thanks so much for sharing dude. this honestly motivated me too to start catching up on my course work. i’m going through the exact same thing and lately i’ve been getting into so many depressive slumps. all my friends are getting into their careers now, driving to their jobs, doing other things i can’t relate to. i’m in my fifth year and i thought i’d graduate by now. i blame things like the death of one of my parents, covid, childhood trauma etc. but i need to accept that everyone goes through life at a different pace.
It all stems from childhood. It’s just mind blowing how stuff that happened when you were a child follows you to adulthood. I had ED habits of binging when I was eight years old. I’m now 27 and still struggle with the same things.
I got SA'd as an 8 year old by a 14 year old girl. Trauma sticks with you.
i grew up in a family of fat people and i weighed a lot in middle school. i honestly thought for a long time that working out was an option or a lifestyle. something people chose to do because they wanted to. no one in my family ever did it so it didn't immediately click that exercising is a necessity for your HEALTH & not just to look good. 😬
You have the same brain and body your whole life, not that hard to see the same habits and effects stay with them.
Makes sense, those are the years when you’re supposed to be learning the most and when your brain absorbs everything you see
It brought me a lot of peace to hear Ken and Dane talk about over eating and weight gain. I have stage 4 endometriosis and severe pcos. I just had surgery on Tuesday and my left ovary and fallopian tube were removed because they were no longer functioning. I've gained weight due to these illnesses and my depression. Hearing them talk about their struggles comforted me.
Being 30 yrs old, being told by doctors that I'm infertile. Losing an organ, etc has mentally and physically messed with me. Watching Ken and Dane gives me moments of relief from this pain. You guys are such a blessing for me ❤
Wishing you well on your recovery, every tiny step forward is a reason to celebrate :)
@@Nunderpants thank you so much!
Hello there, I hope you are doing better. Wish you a speedy recovery. It must be so hard your feelings are absolutely valid. Wish you all the strength
@@noura4701 thank you a ton! I am feeling a bit better. It's not perfect, but I am very thankful that I feel some improvement!
@@foxyred2016 very glad to hear that! Wish you all the best in your journey as you deserve nothing less
Its so hard to not compare yourself to others. I don't think that lady resents her friend for being healthier. But you're right, she doesn't want to be left behind and it's hard to not sound like you're jealous. As Americans we have so many hurdles to overcome, all by ourselves, personal responsibility even in matters of health & mental health. But you'll hear people say it takes a village to raise a child. I think it takes a village, to make a healthy village and villagers. We have to help each other & build each other up to avoid these situations & jealous feelings. Ok, off the soapbox. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
What Buff said about overeating healthy food cause its healthy is such a mood 😭
Same.
She's got that "dear God if I can't be skinny please make my friends fat too" thing she needs to get over
I think Vanessa has a great chance of losing her weight and getting healthy due to her being so self aware; shes like the opposite of Tammy who is not aware about anything basically
They both are doing really good Vanessa just got approved for her surgery and got down to under 400 pounds like the Dr asked her to the other dark haired 🕐 lost alot but not as much as the Dr wanted her to after her surgery she got really depressed and hit a place ware she stopped shedding pounds. The other 2 friends are trying and looking into surgery the short hair friend is scared to have surgery and wants to do it without and Megan I think her name is had the surgery before and now is looking into gastric bypass to lose weight because the other surgery she already had and it stopped working for her at a certain point. Idk if u watch the show but I thought I would update .
@@heathersargent289 Thank you for the update! I dont watch the show itself but stumble across videos from time to time but Im very happy for both of them! Its so motivating to see people succeed in things that they didnt think they could do
It's a nice change to see the fire in Vanessa. There's a real desire in her, she just has to get comfortable with stepping outside of her comfort zone and build her confidence. Her frustration can be used as motivation. Tammy won't put one foot over the line of her comfort zone. She exercises and eats a healthy meal one time and acts like that was a real effort. I agree that Tammy has no awareness but she also doesn't care. Vanessa at least wants it, she's just got to figure out how to get there.
@@sdetcho1 I think Vanessa figured it out when her son went with her and was heavier then her she moved out her sister's house that was keeping her down and just totally messing her diets up and she is really trying hard now she made it to 398 and the Dr wanted her 400 to approve her I really think she is gonna do great. In the beginning I had no hope for her at all she acted like she was comfortable being her size didn't want to change and get healthy for her and her kids and didn't want the surgery at all and now totally changed her mindset she really surprised me I am routing for her. Tammy on the other hand had the tool to do it got the surgery she did lose alot but not enough for that whole process to go threw I think she thought the surgery was just gonna be her miracle and she didn't have to put the work in it was just gonna magically make her skinny, hopefully she will put in the work before it's to late because that time is coming ware the surgery just won't work anymore because she should have already lost it by this time.
Guys I love this episode because of you two explaining what a lot of overweight people are going through I use it to strengthen my awareness of how much I eat because if you ignore it for too long I feel I will get to a point of no return ❤️
Im glad you acknlowedged that Ken, anyone could end up like this if you get a lot of pleasure from eating and go through traumatic experiences. Imagine being homeless as a child, food might not always be available, and the highlight of your day is your mom giving you a cookie as a reward, its not shocking that she ended up habitually overeating
I've watched more reality in the past month that i ever have (well as far back as I can remember) because Ken and Buffs reactions and the sense of suffering alongside others makes it so freaking bearable
Me too... Specially with gypsy brides.... Suuuuper funny
@@gustavofernandes6314 ooo them gypsies put Nat Geo to shame
I enjoy these 1,000 lb reactions because you guys are comedic, while still being respectful. And I enjoy your side conversations about your own personal struggles with weight and food.
The way Dane's voice shakes the he says "I WAS NOT FAR FROM HER!" is the best thing ever
My husband and I are trying to learn that it's okay to throw away food that is going to save well or isn't enough for another meal. After so long of going without, we feel obligated to eat all of the meal even if we are already full, so I feel what Dane is saying here
We freeze what we can. If it's something like sauce and there is not much we freeze it and add it to more we make when we make it so we can make less and add it
Could always freeze the left overs if it's a small amount and just do a day of eating those small amounts don't have to cook either unless you call microwaving or put something in the oven cooking
why would u rather throw a lets say third of a portion away than reuse it another day as a side dish or whatever, thats so unnecessary :
When she said that food can't hurt you and leave you and break your heart I literally felt that on so many levels
Ken and Dane honestly feel like proper father figures in this community, thank you both
I totally feel what Ken is saying about being able to eat whatever he wanted a long time ago. I was underweight until I was 17, and then I started working at Culver's for a couple of years, and it started going downhill. I think I topped out at 200 pounds when I was 20, and I've finally gotten back down to 180. I'm also 6'2" so it doesn't really look like I weigh that much.
That's most of us dude
200 and 6’ 2” is underweight
@@WileyJordan no it isn’t, 6’2 and 200lbs is overweight. not hugely overweight, but still.
@@rivervvitch I mean, you can’t tell by someone’s scale number if they’re overweight or not. Muscle/etc. plays a role. No hate, just saying!
@@WileyJordan Normal BMI for 6'2" person is from 144.1 to 194.0. I know because I track my own BMI and I am 6'2". Now this doesn't indicate my activity levels (aka muscle mass versus fat). There are other indicators people should look at other then just flat out weight, but since that is all we have to go on the (because more wasn't offered) then that is what we are using.
I sincerely love how positive Dane is! I feel like he would be the most encouraging and kind friend.
this was a wholesome talk between 2 friends sharing their struggling
Love the line " in order to be good at something you gotta fail first." Is so true and shows that your growing and trying
She feels very authentic. I would definitely want her to succeed in her journey. Best of luck.
I'm totally addicted to these shows and even more this channel's reaction!😅 Guilty pleasure...
Ditto!
@@Kriket01989 Is there a hotline I can call?😅
A year ago, I drunkenly watched a youtube recommended video on my birthday. After being stunned by the phrase “if it’s your birthday, happy birthday” I immediately subscribed and have been watching these videos everyday since. Thank you ken and buff for making me laugh everyday and for wishing me happy birthday regardless of if it is actually my birthday :)
I’m so glad you guys had that discussion in the middle of how slippery the slope is to becoming extremely unhealthy. I’ve always had a sweet tooth and I spent my twenties binging as comfort after a bad break up and my mum being diagnosed with cancer. Couple years ago I was really beginning to feel the negative effects on my body, I’ve managed to lose 45 pounds, still another 10 to 20 I’d like to lose, but that needy binger is still inside. It’s hard when those habits are ingrained into your mind and body. Just glad to see I’m not alone in those struggles ❤️
When Dane talked about having problems with wasting food, I never related to something more in my life.
I really feel for these people in these shows,. I power lift, so my diet consists of anywhere between 3,500 to 4,500 calories a day and I'd be lying if I said a lot of times I don't enjoy eating that of course I do. Food is my comfort I love cooking. It was part of my childhood. It just doesn't seem like it because I'm a massive guy that works out all the time. If I didn't enjoy working out I'd be in real trouble. I just hope all these people find it in themselves to live a wholesome happy life. And Ken and buff I've been watching your videos for years now thanks for all the hours and hours of entertainment you guys are the best
Wholesome comment. Made me feel happy and cozy inside for some reason.
Biigg differance is that ur body needs it and if u are most likely keeping a very balanczd diet these people eat junkfood and dont train
@@gamingyoshi2280 I know. It still makes me sad. Food is meant to sustain and comfort. When people have an addiction to something that's a necessity in life, I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to stop.
I'm fighting to keep myself from gaining back to 300. I was 322, and I'm now 224. I've lost and gain through it. I'd rather lose and gain to lose more than to give up and keep gaining.
11:38 as someone with anxiety I can relate to this
I want to be a dancer but seeing videos makes it look easy but it's hard. Not only that, fear of people judging you because of how you move its scary.
I'm trying to overcome this obstacle but trust me it's difficult
I totally understand why she said she wished her friend had a harder time losing weight because she's hurting and wishes she had someone to fight with her. She feels like she is being judged by everyone because she has had a harder time losing weight when her friend did it so much easier.
6:46 Interestingly, I deal with this exact issue Dane is. I grew up in a Mexican immigrant family in the USA. We were extremely poor and rarely had food. So whenever I was presented with food, it was an extremely rare luxury, I forced myself to eat everything. Throwing away food was extremely unthinkable at the time. And now 20+ years later I suffer with this eating issue. I can't throw food away, I always empty my plate. And thanks to this issue I gained a lot of weight. I have gone through diets, and all sorts of nutritionalists. They can only pin point it to a psychological eating disorder due to childhood trauma. I always get upset when I can't finish my food, I even get upset when people throw away food. I can relate to Dane so much here. I'm actually crying a bit because I thought I was alone on this. Thank you so much for sharing.
When she said “how could you be proud of failure” I felt that.
Just found you guys- I totally get everything you said about eating and the desire to overeat. These shows help us reflect- like you said. Thanks for keeping it real!
Again, thank you for posting. Your honest conversations with eachother are refreshing and encouraging. I live with an eating disorder, etc, and this sort of content is really helpful. You're both honest about your experiences and watch these clips openly and honestly... I really like these girls because of that. Tammy etc are good entertainment, but again, it's refreshing to hear people being honest about their struggles.
Anyway, thanks for all the effort you put into these videos x
She clearly has a lot of emotional issues and shes aware of it, i think with the right therapist she could do really well. Shes very frustrated with herself and gets mad at herself for not being able to do things right away, which i totally relate to. Therapy can definitely help
I interpreted this as Vanessa being honest about the feelings of jealousy she has, she never tried to justify it. When you get to later episodes you'll see she seems pretty emotionally intelligent and empathetic.
Dane and Ken, I swear you're so relatable and I love watching the chemistry between you guys. X
Bro the whole weight conversion hit home. Our entire culture is messed up with what we think are proper portion sizes for our meals. My grandma used to feed me more when I was little because I was a kid with a fast metabolism. Unintentionally it taught me to eat that amount as a normal amount as as I got older and my metabolism slowed I still ate the same.
The show is good but the raw conversation between you two midway in was immaculate.
I really root for any addict trying to get better- Everyone around them has to be kind but not indulging.
I don’t want my friends to fail, but what she really needs is recognition that she is doing something that’s really hard. I understand the emotions behind what she’s saying, even if I could never say the same thing.
I can even imagine being that big. Even at my heaviest I wasn't even close to their level of obese, but being a bigger size than I'd even been before was a huge struggle for me. I felt uncomfortable in my own body. Moving around was hard. Basically anything besides sitting/laying down was a chore. When I was younger I struggled with anorexia. Once I was finally able to make myself eat regularly it turned into "wow, I really love food" and I just ballooned from there because I was now overeating instead of starving myself. I still have a long ways to go in terms of learning to eat healthier foods without stuffing myself and making myself be active and exercise. Dane is 100% right if you fail at first just keep trying. You'll get there 💜
I appreciate how real these guys are. That was a very open and honest conversation that I’m sure most of us can relate to.
I just broke my record on leg bress. I can finally understand how heavy 1000 lb is. Goddamn.
Thank you both for being so honest about eating. I believe that everyone wants you both to be around for a long time. I know that it's hard to say no to food. I wish you the best!
I've been waiting all year to hear, "If it's your birthday, happy birthday!" Thanks Ken :^D
"You gotta know that you're bad to be good" Daaaamn Buff. So simple, yet so powerful. I'm adopting that into my daily lexicon.
I could never find a mood ring that fit me. And by the time I could buy stuff on the internet I didn't want one anymore lol
🤣 you're not missing out. They're always dark blue.
i have never felt more safe on a channel and that all thanks to ken and dane. thank you for addressing such a common issue that no one seems to like to talk about. we appreciate and love you guys 💟
I love how ken always makes sure everyone’s nostalgia glasses off when talking about childhood.
Actually, knowing that you're not alone with such problems helps you on emotional level to cope with it. So thank you Ken ❤️ And good luck to everyone, you are strong and beautiful✨
Don’t know guys. “Thousand pound TH-cam buds” brought to you by TLC might be a fall-back 🤣
I really appreciate that I can click on your videos and I never know whether I'm gonna be laughing, or just whole-heartedly agreeing with you are saying. Very few content creators are as easy to listen to and as well-rounded as the two of you. Your reaction videos always make my day better, thank you for consistent delivery over the years
I used to wear mood rings. Some of them change all kinks of colors. Some were like you said. Love ya guys. Keep it up
I loved Kens face when he said “That’s not very nice.” 🤨😂
Why does TLC absolutely insist on giving them unflattering chairs to sit in… they know what they’re doing.
Lmaooo for sure they know. And the angles they have them in for the interviews does them Nooo justice.
I love CTK and Buff for being so open about their weight and struggling with the knowledge that they're overweight and not doing much about it. It's been my struggle for a few years now.
I've been a thin mint my entire life. Once I turned 27, my body was like "remember all those times you ate ENTIRE pizzas? Well.. I do." 😂 I'm not even that overweight but for some weird reason, I want to eat and not do anything else. I'm 5'4 148 pounds. That's literally only 8 pounds overweight which seems like a small amount but my joooooints feeeel iiiit! I'm used to being 120.. I think once you hit a certain point, you're both depressed about the weight gain and completely unmotivated to do anything about it. It's an odd feeling and no one WANTS to be so overweight they can't move, but Goddamn food addiction and childhood trauma really plays a huge role in your life.
Hey Ken, you've mentioned a few times now that its a stressful and a lot of pressure having a job where peoples opinions matter and stuff. And I get that. But I want you to know you are a wonderful human, at least from what we see. Even in your not so great moments, you have a good way with your words and choose fairly carefully, without sounding filtered. I'm not sure what the word is, maybe diplomatic? I've disagreed with a few things you've said over the years, but its such an easy thing to move past because we all have our opinions and experiences.
Anyway, I just really want you to know, that you rock. You have a lot of viewers and fans because we enjoy YOU. I know its easy to feel judged and I'm sure there's hate I don't see, but you truly are a great entertainer. All that being said, you deserve peace of mind. Take a little time if you need it. Do videos you wanna do. I understand supply and demand but many of us here are because we enjoy you and not just what you make. Your fans will really enjoy anything you make. And will always understand if you need time to do your thing. Please try to release some of this weight and allow yourself to not feel so pressured to please and fit into molds and such. You are very easy to listen to, witty/clever, have good info, and you're just easy to watch. You rock Ken. Please enjoy yourself!! You deserve to relax and unwind too.
"food doesnt break your heart" well it does give it a reasonable chance to stop working.
As someone who struggles with losing weight these videos are helpful motivators, thank you
I like how ethical these guys are. They laugh at a lot of things, but you can tell they genuinely care about the well-being of others.
Ken, my girlfriend and I like watching your reviews of this type of content cuz it actually helps remind us why we're making life style choices to be healthier.
You buff Felix mark etc have all motivated us to be healthier, you know how hard that can be. These videos help us remember that if we give into the feeling of stopping and giving up, that this is our future. And we want to live long healthy lives and see the world, so it isnt an option! Just sometimes we need a gentle reminder of whag were fighting for and you guys help with that while giving some good laughs / insight !
“In order to be good at something, you have to have failed at it.”
Thank you, Dane. I needed to hear that. Imma use that one for sure. 💙
I have that same mind set too.. I'm glad your talking about it. Because sometimes it does make you feel alone and ashamed
I love these two together
The way ken started talking abt his own relationship with food and everything. And Dane! I could say so many things about ken and Dane and everything they do but in short yall are so many of our comfort TH-camrs thank y’all for creating this community
Y'all are so respectful when you recap these shows. I think we all appreciate that.
I understand when she wants her friend to fail. I’ve been there. It’s not truly wanting your friend to fail, it’s really about wanting to not be a failure. These are thoughts that you keep in your head or in this case, you say in a confessional. Because she probably feels like she keeps proving that she’s broken. If only her friend had a hard time, then it would be proof to her that other people suffer too. That she isn’t the only one who’s “pathetic.” She resents that her friend found the strength to push forward, but she can’t. I often think to myself “Why can’t I be normal?! Why can’t I just do it?” Sometimes it feels like my body and brain just shut down and I legitimately cannot move myself to do anything. So, I don’t think she actually hates her friend, she hates herself.
You've gotta practice. I make my own garden beds. First one I made, I used a hand saw for metal instead of wood, used self tapping screws (non-wood) and that shit bowed like nothing else. Now, it's perfect. I learned from my mistakes, learned how to improve. And even added a small sprinkler system to them :D
Does my head in when people quit after one try because they're not perfect.
im relatively young, and most of my life i could eat what i wanted and i didnt retain wait. but this last year i was completely alone, i worked from home in the dark, i barely saw outside, i nearly took my life. and through that i am now over 50 pounds heavier than i have ever been and it is now a struggle to lose the weight. i never had this problem before and i always thought once i put my mind to it the weight will just shed off, once im happy ill go back, once i work in person ill get more steps in, but i have come to realize that all though all of those things will help, my body is different now. my metabolism is different, the way i process things is different. and watching these shows and hearing Ken and Dane talk about it really validates that there is SO much more that goes into losing weight than just eating better, its an entire lifestyle change even if the lifestyle was the one youve always lived. and for me personally for it to be a change i am focusing on being consistant and not so much on the immediate results. because i can starve myself and lose like 5 pounds of water weight or what ever and like constantly fear the scale or just stick to some guidelines and actually consistantly get better
BRO HOW AM I SO EARLY, i love your channel and you guys make me laugh and i look forward to all of your new videos 😊you are hilarious and have a keen eye, have a great day you guys, and your families
I like that Buff points out not liking wasting food. I struggle with that too. I was always taught you shouldn’t throw away food and my family always said you have to finish your plate so now I over indulge because I’m so used to having to finish food even if I’m full. We don’t stop eating when full we just base it off not wasting and it’s not healthy
Buff Pro man. He's so self aware with such a kind warm soul.
Wake and bake with these two funny single berries love the world lol
I like how y’all still introduce yourselves. So humble. Like the entirety of YT doesn’t already know.
The thing about " not enough to save for a next meal" I think of that as a snack or for breakfast. I will literally eat whatever for breakfast - granted I never eat a lot when I first get up. I dunno if that helps anyone but I was raised to NEVER throw away food due to our financial situation.
Same here. I'll take several of those 'not enough for a meal' and put them together for a meal.
It honestly makes me feel incredibly better knowing that I am not the only one struggling with foods and having the exact same mindset as Ken and Diane. We can only try everyday and hope to better ourselves the best we can! ☺️
Is it bad that I've been wanting you guys to watch this for awhile now😅
I love buff just vibin during the intro
"IT ONLY WENT BECAUSE I SPUN IT"
did she expect a plastic ball to just orbit around her and make her lose weight with zero effort?
I have one of those hula hoop ball things and it’s so fun! 😆 really helped to define my waist too. Win win
So I should get one then? Headed off to Amazon RN lol
Definitely more enjoyable than running 😆 I always put some good music on and turn it into a dance session. Super easy to use once you have the rhythm going
The slap bracelets 💀💀 ICONIC
“What do you want?”
“*Some* burgers would be nice.”
As someone who’s had a fair share of struggles with eating disorders, I feel for him but at the same time, jesus christ…
Also the little kid is the most reasonable person in that car.
10:15 completely right Dane, and I love when you give your own input in the topic.
