Lucy Jones maybe it’s because he has a job and he just can’t take off and visit a lot. Also he lives in TEXAS and she in CALIFORNIA 🤦🏾♀️ Just because he cannot visit as often doesn’t mean he don’t love his mom 🙄
When she says "You can't just take it away" It really felt like she wasn't talking about just the sugar but her kids her ex husband took away from her. This broke my heart 🥺
@@zadokedorheohimai1608 you’re the one to talk about how it’s okay?? 🙄 she MISSES THEM. Sure it’s unhealthy, but SHE IS USING A COPING MECHANISM.. and you’re saying this for what??
Her husband didn’t take them.. they chose to live with him.. if the roles were switched you wouldn’t say the wife took the kids away. Fathers are parents too , therefore when divorce happens they’re allowed to keep his own kids
Deflin Robertson they recorded those bits after she saw her son and agreed to be filmed, then edited those parts to be seen first to introduce her problems

Her sugar addiction is psychological. The 'feel good' fix is no different from alcohol, nicotine, substance, food, etc. She's got great children for support. Nice lady.
she ate and fed her kids sugar whenever they came to her house so that they would love her more. now eating that sugar reminds her of her kids, and how comforting it was to feel loved and attached
@@doubm000 I bet she lost the little bit of a tummy she had after cutting out at the sweets. Not saying she didn’t look great before. Only that she probably looks amazing now.
I see how sad her eyes were. Even if she says that sugar makes her "happy", it just eases the pain for a while, but she is still suffering. She is still depressed, in some point. Her husband left her, HER KIDS left her and went away with their dad. SHE IS LEFT ALONE and I dont understand why they didn't even bother to make actions to be with her and complete her first.
elementia David I'm not trying to be rude but it is 100% her fault. its not that hard to eat a frickin vegetable. she's an adult, she should know better.
She just needs her kids, this whole episode showed how she lights up when being around her son. This is not sugar problem, this is relationship problem and lack of closeness to her kids which she truly love and seems to be her whole world.
Considering how much sugar she eats she actually looks very healthy...but I guess true health is what's happening on the inside. I pray she has fully overcome this. Addiction is real and external support is needed to breakthrough. Bless her.
It does hurt and what she went through is like she wanted her kids to like her. This episode is sad and even I admit being alone means yeah you don’t have frustrations. I could relate my first ex who I work with kept asking if I was okay like literally a week after our relationship ended. I wanted to be left alone and I told her to give me more time. She got mad at me because I didn’t feel like talking to her and that I talk to other people (friends and family). Mind you she dumped me. And that hurt me to the extent being alone was the best and only option. It hurts but I do feel sad to admit that being alone was the best outcome for the people I knew. Because I do think maybe I was the problem. It just my heart broke when I heard her say and agreed being alone means you have no frustrations.
I will say I’m sure that this addiction is not something new. But we can’t blame him for not wanting to visit her. We don’t know who she is and being an addict is no joke. People who are addicts are no joke.
Excuse me? You're worried about HER? What about the kids she abandoned when she moved across the country? What about her indulging her addiction no matter how much it hurts her kids? You have horrible priorities. Mirror time for you.
Black Sorceress U can control it when someone else is supporting and helping u. Cause the only cure for depression is, is to find joy in life. And without anybody around u, u will never find joy in ur life. Cause of that I would say that it’s nearly impossible when u r alone. And I’m so happy for u, really appreciate it that ur find your peace again 🙏🏻
imagine seeing your son for the first time in 15 years and being lectured about the addiction that you are already ashamed of... the son should have visited her a lot more and really shown her love in general, not when there is a special event like this
At first it seems funny that she just eats candy but this woman has serious underlying issues to do with depression and stuff. I hope she is doing well.
i always find this kind of depression gluttony sad, because the drug of choice looks so innocent but after the indulgence it feels so lonely. I had a binge eating problem for a few years, who hasn't, it's like trying to back to being a child and when the eating all over it's the deepest pit of despair.
GoldXrose The reason is when you grow up, it is healthy to make your own decisions in life... He lives where he does because that's what works for him. I agree that the situation is sad.
Lara Elfaki yes, but if there was a custody battle and the father hired a better lawyer they may not have had a choice. Also, she moved away from her kids/family. If she was lonely she shouldn’t have moved thousands of miles away.
You say they picked their father over her and so we should feel sorry for her, and yet the majority of the time perfectly capable fathers are left with no custody when courts nearly automatically give full custody to mothers who may not be capable at all. There seems to be no sympathy for them? This addiction is her own choice.
Yeah it is sad, we don't know why she got divorced but she may have made some bad decisions like most people do in life and ended up suffering in silence turning to sugar to cope.
I like how some episodes are like "The reason you eat like this is because you hate yourself and your life" and others are like "lol I just really like fries".
I wouldn’t go around saying something like that unless you want a million Christians washing the blood of Jesus all over your soul. Just saying if you don’t want to start a religious debate....
Her family damaged her. Like she said - she finds comfort in eating sugar, to fulfill that lonely feeling. She’s broken and it is absolutely heartbreaking! She didn’t deserve this!
she seems depressed. Its so sad that her life was empty for that long, 20 years? I really relate to the cycle of being lonely, not being able to force yourself to socialize, then becoming sadder. its so sad to watch
soz Z I kinda agree with you kinda don’t cause the point of raising kids is seeing them successful but that doesn’t mean they can’t visit like she’s your mum :/
@@user-ix8sm2vo6k ofc they need to visit but another reason of raising kids all years is when one day you needed them they need to be here for you, I dont know what other people think but this is my opinion, I mean the whole point she started this is because she felt really lonely and that's why she started eating these to feel happy, but deep down she knows she isn't really happy
Amen. Her kids need to step up and be there for her. Talk to her. Help her get a game plan together. It's not that hard, she took care of you, all it takes is conversation. Call each other, 3 times a day for a week. You only have to talk for 5 minutes each time but that would help to feel like someone is there all day.
She just needs family. The closure, the joy, the laughter, the conversations and the support. Overtime, her brain will rewire it self. Great video, thank you.

That’s why when women break up with their boyfriend or girlfriends they sit with their friends and eat a tub of ice cream and cry but I don’t know how it feels because I’m my religion your not able to get a boyfriend and you can’t be gay or lesbian or bisexual
Ethereal Prince. Divorce changes people and then her kids left to live with there dad that makes it worse. So she was alone. Was alone alot. I feel her pain. Made me sad when she said. It's better to be alone so you won't get disapointed or feel alone again. 😢😢😢😢😢
OMG I cried with her the whole video. It's so sad seeing such a beautiful woman suffering so much, she just needs love and her family. I pray for her to feel better now
"I feel like sugar makes you happy, and um, so when you're eating sugar constantly youre happy and um I want my kids to think that I was happy" I felt that.
Me too. I'm addicted to it too (but not as bad as her though) The longest I can go without sugar is probably a day. It's comforting, sugar releases oxytocin,it makes us happy. It's a great feeling and it's hard to stop because thebwe don't want to stop experiencing that feeling.
shes so pretty and so well hearted it really breaks my heart that she suffers like that..being alone and isolated is a really painfull life i hope she got better
“I wanted my kids to think I was happy” “I can’t let people know I have all this pain” Those quotes broke my heart. My heart breaks for her. I feel so bad. This poor girl. I’m so so sorry for all of the things she has had to go through.
Yes, she needs to learn to love herself. That comes from within. Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all. Period. Until she falls in love with Christine and discovers her purpose, then true happiness will develop. Getting in a relationship is the last thing she needs. She will be bait for a narcissist or sociopath.
苏打饺子 that’s heartbreaking. I feel the same, but I’m not going to kill myself because I don’t want to leave my mom alone. I guess it goes both ways sometimes.
I would kill to have a mom that cared about me like that, I can’t even get a happy birthday from mine , watching her love for her kid absolutely made me bawl. I hope she’s doing better now 😢
She seems like a genuine, kind lady. I actually feel really bad for her. I see that she really does depend on the sugar to help her. It's a coping mechanism for her loneliness and possible depression. I really do sympathize with her and I hope she's doing well.
WoW! she seemed really nice and lovely, her son is also amazing and very supportive. I'm so sad that she had to go through all of this as she is a kind lady. I'm so glad that she got better, and thanks to the people in this world that helps others up
imagine being a divorced mother. with kids who live on the opposite side of the country, and not seeing them for longer than 15 years or more. AND WHEN YOU FINALLY GET TO SEE THEM, they only come to help with a habit? that’s crazy. i feel terrible for her.
@@cherylcoomes6739 If you are going through this, you should seek therapy. Go out, make friends, get involved in something you love doing. Life's great if you make it that way. Take care. If you want to talk to someone, you can use this website-the wall and us. Or you can talk to me via comments.
Why did she get to this point! They are trying to help her (only him lol not they) because he does not wanna live with the guilt of his mother dying out of loneliness open your eyes !!
savannah o ikr, If she coped with her depression and loneliness in another way that’s not food, she would still be in a lonely depression today, not seeing her her children for even longer than 20 years. It’s really sad.
they should be focusing on her mental health because that’s the reason behind her eating. She needs to talk about what triggered this and healthy ways to cope with it
Sugar and food release dopamine, high stimulation that similar to sex and illicit drug use. It’s obvious she used sugar to make herself to feel good in order to deal with her breakup and loss of her children.
They're busy and have their own lives. It's harder than you think to make visits. And even still, do you really think occasional visits are going to keep her together?
Um, they have lives to live and don't have time to wipe an adult baby's ass every five minutes? If she's sad and lonely, she can do something about it other than imposing on family, I'd think. Get friends your own age, maybe?
Fighting for custody of my sons and getting them back saved my life. I 500% understand her pain. I still struggle with binge but this video is inspiring
Your gay then. People wouldn't sympathize for me because I'm a man, even though they don't know how bad my life is. They'd just call me a pussy and laugh about me later to their friends. People who breakup with their boyfriend get weeks of love and support, while I sit here being laughed at and talked about for being an idiot according to their perception, and I watch people like you comment in this video showing empathy for a self-destructive person.
I really didn’t like the way the son was acting,calling her selfish when he hasn’t visited her in 15 YEARS?This poor woman need some love,some family or even a pet.She just wants something to make her feel happy :(
What gives you the idea that he hasn't visited her in 15 years? I don' think it ever said that. And did you ignore the part where she intentionally MOVED HUNDREDS of miles away, to separate herself from them?
Some of these episodes are just strange, but this one actually hit me kinda hard. I've been through depression and I can understand how sugar and foods can be seen as an antidote. I feel terribly for Christine, not having her children, or a spouse, and I can 100% understand why she would turn to sugar. I hope she feels better soon, and gets over this addiction
She made me cry because I feel her loneliness exactly like what I live with right now. Abandon from outside life and no support or tru love or care you tend to create your own support and for me is sleep and antisocial behavior mainly depressed and sadness. Sometimes crave for sweet and junk food. It’s a circle of depression. May god help us all
@@stephrashid6513 seriously tho..but its kinda my fault I let a toxic person ruin good friendship, If only I could tell my ex bestfriend sorry...I mis him so much but i gotta move on and go my separate ways with the person i loved so much
It is sad. It's literally a depression loop. It's very hard to be vulnerable depending on your past. I can really relate to her and I'm a huge proponent for people to try and seek therapy. It's life changing.
Very attractive woman, and she must have great biochemistry to look great on this diet - I would look like a butterball on this diet. With a good diet she’ll be on the catwalk.
@@moonpriest8016 You don't exercise away 6500 cals of sugar that you eat everyday. She must have a remarkable metabolism, it all boils down to that in this case.
She honestly a good person and she’s sweet herself, it’s really sad how her children just left her and don’t talk to her. Y’all have to keep in mind that she doesn’t have anybody and she lives by herself. Nobody knows this lady personally so don’t judge her for her way of coping, its not Healthy but it’s not a reason to not talk to her. People really take advantage of having their mothers or moms who are actually really good parents. She just feels neglected 💔
Climb Aboard! She’s eating BECAUSE she’s lonely and nobody talks to her, as she said she started eating after the divorce. It’s her way of comforting herself because she’s depressed
Deija Anderson She stocked her cupboards full of sugar, and loaded her kids with it when they visited... they doesn’t sound like a healthy relationship with your kids. My grandma is like this lady. She loves her food, and fills her grandchildren with sugar when they visit. Even though we’re all adults by now. I don’t like to visit her, how lonely she may be. All there is to her is the sugary snacks. No real, nice conversations or even a nice hug. I loved to visit her when I was younger because she gave us all the things my mum wouldn’t let us have, to the point I was nauseous when we would go home. But as I grew up to a teen, I stopped enjoying the visits. My grandma meant well in her mind, but I understand the woman’s kids picking their dad, if sugar was all that their mum had to offer.
Its just so sad to see her that way. She's such a sweetheart. She lost the thing she truly treasured with her whole heart and tried to find comfort in sugar.. the fact her son didn't visit her for almost 15y and told her she was being 'selfish' was just devastating to watch. She needs someone to be there with her, who'll give her warmth and love and makes her feel that she matters but the ones who should be doing so, wouldn't be there.
You never know. My mom was very absent during the 2 years she had custody of us and then a couple of years later when our dad let us choose for awhile and it was a disaster. But later on she changed and helped US alot. I wouldn't be doing as well as I am without her support 30 years ago and we're still close to this day. I like to think I help her as she helped me when my stepfather died and her uncertainty about retirement, I hope so.
The son wants to help with her sugar addiction but her addiction is literally connected to how lonely she is, she literally burst into happy tears when she saw her son, meaning that it’s been a long time! She is doing this to make her kids happy and wanna stay and they go and leave her for long periods of time and wonder why she gets lonely and depressed.

There must be more to the story when kids pick their dad over their mum; her being so lonely must mean they didn’t share custody equally, and the kids choosing to stay with dad more than mum.
Oh yeah yeah I know. But I do find it kind of telling she thought she had to shower her kids in sweets, and never making them a home cooked meal. Something must have gone wrong with sweets and feelings when she was young as well. I have my own ‘addiction’, and spend more time on the internet than might be healthy in my free time. But I know it’s not healthy, and I’m a babysitter, and I make sure that when I watch kids, I go out to playgrounds and woods with them. I don’t put them in front of the tablet to be ‘the fun babysitter’; I know what I do is not healthy, so I even make sure to keep my phone away, and have a book ready if I have some free time, to set a good example. I’m not saying she was a bad mother. We don’t know all the details, and they might have added some drama to the episode. I’m just saying, her children not visiting her, doesn’t make her the only victim: the kids must have their reasons.
I don’t think he is doing it on purpose I mean he is halfway across the country and just because he doesn’t visit her often doesn’t mean he doesn’t care
Well done Christine! You are so brave. I hope you are going well with your health. I'm sure your bravery might inspire others in a similar situation. You are amazing!
“i just sit back and watch other people and feel sorry for myself” “if you’re alone you’ll never have any frustrations or disappointments in life” that is so freaking sad
It makes me wonder about the dynamic during her marriage. She strikes me as a compassionate and overly sensitive person, somewhat like my mom, and I know my mom and dad married fairly young without much prior life experience (though that was rather typical in the 70's). My maternal grandma, who looked after me when my mom was working, comforted every scraped knee or hurt feeling with something sweet. So I sort of get it.
She looks like one of those really kind and gentle teachers that you rarely find
Yh

My teacher is not like that she brang in m&m and Skittles and we couldn't eat it...jl she is like her just dosent eat candy often

For real they needed to cure her loneliness not her candy addiction. The candy addiction will cure itself if she's not depressed every damn day

i always find this kind of depression gluttony sad, because the drug of choice looks so innocent but after the indulgence it feels so lonely.

Her sadness over losing her kids and how isolated she has been has brought tears to my eyes.
I mean honestly I don’t blame her for having this addiction, her own kids chose their dad over her and she’s lonely. I just wanna give her a hug
Lara Elfaki yes, but if there was a custody battle and the father hired a better lawyer they may not have had a choice.
Also, she moved away from her kids/family. If she was lonely she shouldn’t have moved thousands of miles away.
Fathers has that all the time.
You can’t blame kids for choosing a parent as minors during a divorce. They’re kids.
U cant blame the Dad or the kids for her addiction. the kids choose to live with the Dad for a reason
You say they picked their father over her and so we should feel sorry for her, and yet the majority of the time perfectly capable fathers are left with no custody when courts nearly automatically give full custody to mothers who may not be capable at all. There seems to be no sympathy for them? This addiction is her own choice.
Legit feel bad for this women, she’s seems like such a nice person that’s obviously in pain.
bruh same this is one of the ones that made me cry lol
Same, I'm literally almost crying which for me is very rare! It's such a sad thing people are like this
pain.
Yeah it is sad, we don't know why she got divorced but she may have made some bad decisions like most people do in life and ended up suffering in silence turning to sugar to cope.

Nissakay WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING THAT IN EVERY COMMENT
When she was around her colleagues and son and the doctors she was so bubbly and bright. I think that’s what she needed most. Human interaction.
Her family damaged her. Like she said - she finds comfort in eating sugar, to fulfill that lonely feeling. She’s broken and it is absolutely heartbreaking! She didn’t deserve this!
Eddie Yuseinov i feel the same way
I agree as well.
She needs a friend 😢
she seems depressed. Its so sad that her life was empty for that long, 20 years? I really relate to the cycle of being lonely, not being able to force yourself to socialize, then becoming sadder. its so sad to watch
I feel so terrible for this woman...she looks so gentle and kind..she really needs a friend and for her kids to love her
soz Z I kinda agree with you kinda don’t cause the point of raising kids is seeing them successful but that doesn’t mean they can’t visit like she’s your mum :/
@@user-ix8sm2vo6k ofc they need to visit but another reason of raising kids all years is when one day you needed them they need to be here for you, I dont know what other people think but this is my opinion, I mean the whole point she started this is because she felt really lonely and that's why she started eating these to feel happy, but deep down she knows she isn't really happy
Amen. Her kids need to step up and be there for her. Talk to her. Help her get a game plan together. It's not that hard, she took care of you, all it takes is conversation. Call each other, 3 times a day for a week. You only have to talk for 5 minutes each time but that would help to feel like someone is there all day.
I agree I feel so bad :(
Miss_ FurryArtist her kids do love her tho
She just needs family. The closure, the joy, the laughter, the conversations and the support. Overtime, her brain will rewire it self. Great video, thank you.
She seems like a very nice woman.
Anudawn yeah, she looks like a fun neighbour if she stops the sugar addiction and starts socializing.
She doesn't like being with other people.

The longest I can go without sugar is probably a day. It's comforting, sugar releases oxytocin,it makes us happy. It's a great feeling and it's hard to stop because thebwe don't want to stop experiencing that feeling.

Yes, she needs to learn to love herself. That comes from within. Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all. Period. Until she falls in love with Christine and discovers her purpose, then true happiness will develop. Getting in a relationship is the last thing she needs. She will be bait for a narcissist or sociopath.
She needs to realize that she doesn't need sugar, cause she is already a sweetheart

Why did she get to this point! They are trying to help her (only him lol not they) because he does not wanna live with the guilt of his mother dying out of loneliness open your eyes !!
savannah o ikr, If she coped with her depression and loneliness in another way that’s not food, she would still be in a lonely depression today, not seeing her her children for even longer than 20 years. It’s really sad.
Okay I actually Started crying when she said that she would eat sweets too make the kids think she was happy... It broke my heart, bless her soul❤️
Me too :( :(
they should be focusing on her mental health because that’s the reason behind her eating. She needs to talk about what triggered this and healthy ways to cope with it
That's what they did
I’m sure the split triggered this! It’s all spiritual! She was wounded!
i was hoping to see more of that.. instead every episode they just bring bags of sugar... kinda repetitive and not very persuasive.
Incase you couldn't tell she has abandonment issues. That's what triggered this. When her husband left and took the kids. She spiraled.
Sugar and food release dopamine, high stimulation that similar to sex and illicit drug use. It’s obvious she used sugar to make herself to feel good in order to deal with her breakup and loss of her children.
WHEN SHE STARTED CRYING WHEN HER SON SAID he wants her to be good oml bless her soul😭🙏🏻
:( She's such a nice lady , I hope everything goes well for her

They're busy and have their own lives. It's harder than you think to make visits. And even still, do you really think occasional visits are going to keep her together?
Yes, especially her children. It's partially their fault for not reaching out to her, which adds on to the loneliness, thus worsening her addiction.
Cayzee
Um, they have lives to live and don't have time to wipe an adult baby's ass every five minutes? If she's sad and lonely, she can do something about it other than imposing on family, I'd think. Get friends your own age, maybe?

And did you ignore the part where she intentionally MOVED HUNDREDS of miles away, to separate herself from them?

To make her really see how much she's hurting herself and her son, she needed to hear it without sugar coating the words.

Some of these episodes are just strange, but this one actually hit me kinda hard. I've been through depression and I can understand how sugar and foods can be seen as an antidote.

My grandma is like this lady. She loves her food, and fills her grandchildren with sugar when they visit. Even though we’re all adults by now. I don’t like to visit her, how lonely she may be. All there is to her is the sugary snacks. No real, nice conversations or even a nice hug.
I loved to visit her when I was younger because she gave us all the things my mum wouldn’t let us have, to the point I was nauseous when we would go home. But as I grew up to a teen, I stopped enjoying the visits. My grandma meant well in her mind, but I understand the woman’s kids picking their dad, if sugar was all that their mum had to offer.
this is cruel because the son is hardly ever there, and is now suddenly here all the time for the show. How long is that gonna last?

Its just so sad to see her that way. She's such a sweetheart. She lost the thing she truly treasured with her whole heart and tried to find comfort in sugar.. the fact her son didn't visit her for almost 15y and told her she was being 'selfish' was just devastating to watch. She needs someone to be there with her, who'll give her warmth and love and makes her feel that she matters but the ones who should be doing so, wouldn't be there.

You never know. My mom was very absent during the 2 years she had custody of us and then a couple of years later when our dad let us choose for awhile and it was a disaster. But later on she changed and helped US alot. I wouldn't be doing as well as I am without her support 30 years ago and we're still close to this day. I like to think I help her as she helped me when my stepfather died and her uncertainty about retirement, I hope so.

Out of all the freaky eaters episodes, this is the saddest episode :(
jennifer romero 100%
The son wants to help with her sugar addiction but her addiction is literally connected to how lonely she is, she literally burst into happy tears when she saw her son, meaning that it’s been a long time! She is doing this to make her kids happy and wanna stay and they go and leave her for long periods of time and wonder why she gets lonely and depressed.
She grew dependent on having her children. It shouldn't be on them to keep her out of this because it's her problem, not theirs

There must be more to the story when kids pick their dad over their mum; her being so lonely must mean they didn’t share custody equally, and the kids choosing to stay with dad more than mum.
Oh yeah yeah I know. But I do find it kind of telling she thought she had to shower her kids in sweets, and never making them a home cooked meal. Something must have gone wrong with sweets and feelings when she was young as well. I have my own ‘addiction’, and spend more time on the internet than might be healthy in my free time. But I know it’s not healthy, and I’m a babysitter, and I make sure that when I watch kids, I go out to playgrounds and woods with them. I don’t put them in front of the tablet to be ‘the fun babysitter’; I know what I do is not healthy, so I even make sure to keep my phone away, and have a book ready if I have some free time, to set a good example.
I’m not saying she was a bad mother. We don’t know all the details, and they might have added some drama to the episode. I’m just saying, her children not visiting her, doesn’t make her the only victim: the kids must have their reasons.
duhh

It makes me wonder about the dynamic during her marriage. She strikes me as a compassionate and overly sensitive person, somewhat like my mom, and I know my mom and dad married fairly young without much prior life experience (though that was rather typical in the 70's). My maternal grandma, who looked after me when my mom was working, comforted every scraped knee or hurt feeling with something sweet. So I sort of get it.
