My 600-lb Life is an American reality television series that has aired on the TLC television network since 2012. Each episode follows a year in the life of morbidly obese individuals, who usually begin the episode weighing at least 600 pounds (270 kg), and documents their attempts to reduce their weight to a healthy level. Update episodes, called "Where Are They Now?", feature one or more previous patients, picking up a year or more after their original episodes aired.
Patients are placed under the care of Iranian-American Houston surgeon Younan Nowzaradan (often referred to as simply "Dr. Now"), who first has them attempt losing weight on their own by following a strict diet, and then depending on the patient's progress may offer gastric bypass surgery or sleeve gastrectomy to further assist in weight loss.
Dr. is a good soul to dedicate his life to this work. He treats everyone like a human. He is incredible.
Exactly! He is a Human. 👍🙏🏻❤️
He is wonderful! I would never have the patience that he has.
He sure is, He has been a Godsend for numerous people. Some people sadly flat out refuse to help themselves thinking that a surgery will magically cause instant weight loss, they will look like models with zero effort on their end. Dr Now will be 80 in Oct and still going strong, I hope he writes a book about working with severely morbidly obese people.
@winniethepoohandeeyore2 He even provides the hard truth to those stubborn ones. It amazes me. People tend to back off when met with resistance and that stubborn personality. He snaps some out, but like you said, some can't be helped. I believe his hard truth approach should be taught in colleges for people earning their doctorate. Can't save them all, but Dr. Now seems to save more.
lol. dr now and his son, along with TLC, exploit the mentally ill for financial gain.
I’m 15 and almost 200lbs. I’ve been going to the gym every day now, eating salads, and drinking water. I’m trying to cut out added sugars, I’m trying to turn my life around
Good job, and please make sure you get enough protein! Especially since you are still growing.
Good job, and please make sure you get enough protein! Especially since you are still growing.
Good job! Keep up the good work!
You can do it!
If you have access to therapy, get it!
Quit eating fatty mcfatterson.
To see this lady throwing a tantrum in the back of the car because no one can make her comfortable, then sit and eat stacks and stacks of junk food just to be able to cope with a DR visit is absolutely mind boggling. It always confuses me as to why the caregivers would take such treatment, then at the same time continue to give into the demands for unhealthy bags full of junk food! someone needs to grow a spine
Wow she's...just wow.
That is true
It's like being with a narcissist. They train you put you down and break you so you just turn into a robot and give them what they want so they don't make your life a living hell. The fact that they met on a video game tells me they probably were anti-social, probably low self-esteem and don't feel they can do better. I am speaking from experience myself.
I feel the same way about people who complain about airline seats. Hey, I'd like to smoke while I fly, but I'm a CIVILIZED person and don't create problems for society because of MY addiction.
i absolutely agree. Im a smoker too, and i know it makes people uncomfortable so i dont do it in public. Its just common sence@@stephenthomas1492
He shouldn’t give her all that food. Let her get mad
People get into a routine and his role is the enabler and she plays the sick role. It’s hard to break those habits. It’s not a diet, it’s total lifestyle change.
@@Im_on_couch_arrest That’s true. He feels needed. It’s a horrible life for him. He has to see his wife’s body all the time but can’t have a desire for it. I’m sorry for him. He deserves a better life with a woman that is not self absorbed. Unless he has this fetish for his life now.
Have you ever heard of mental abuse or verbal abuse?? It's worse than physical. Also I don't believe most of what these people say! They're only telling you one side of the story. I'm related to someone who had someone like this in their family let someone scream at you all night long all day long call the police on you and say they're abusing you!! After 40 years my cousin finally got sick of it. She abandoned him. Good for her. If I had to live with someone like this who complain all the time someone might get hurt
True, but only one person is responsible for our weight….us. We have to learn to control ourselves,and to tell ourselves no. It can’t be everyone else job to keep us away from food.
@@Itried20takennames that’s true but he could be of more help
I have always been overweight. My highest weight was 300 lbs, thats when i told myself enough is enough and i have nobody to blame but myself. I have maintained 175 for 9 years now. One thing i do is to NOT eat passed 5 o'clock in the afternoon!! I also try to only have carbs twice a week only. Just those 2 things have really helped me take off weight and keep it off. Small changes can lead to big accomplishments!!
I was same weight as you and now I'm skinny but I eat 10 pm at evenings and carbs every day. Just taking walks and not eating too large portions and avoid candy/cookies/crisps. Are you sure you can't eat after 5? That sounds sooooo brutal!
Did he help u? I'm 227 I'm trying to be 119 any ideas
Brilliant advice. You are an inspiration to me. Thank you ❤
Losing weight is fatphobic!
Portion control is usually, I know ppl will say not always!, the problem.
Why do these people think their food addiction becomes more manageable just because they'll get a smaller stomach? It is incredibly common for bypass patients to switch to drugs or alcohol because the underlying trauma is never addressed. It bothers me that not every person on the show gets mental health counseling when literally every one of them needs it.
There are a lot of people who experience trauma growing up, myself included. Very little to eat included. But they do not do this. Neither did I. These people should have been addressing their weight before it reached this level. The people who enable them buy actually buying,cooking, and serving the food should have never been doing that.
They really should get therapy along with their surgery. Almost always, there's an underlying mental health issue which needs to be addressed.
Exactly. You can't fix the outside if you don't fix the inside first.
They do. I've never seen an episode where it isn't offered.
They think it’s a physical problem
One thing these 600 pound people have in common other than their weight is blaming everyone else except themselves
My thoughts, exactly
I thought you was about to say....they all got a man.
My family is dealing with this as well when you tell them the truth they your disrespectful even though your telling the truth
Exactly
She literally was blaming herself from the very beginning
Every time I see a hospital scene from this show, I’m just floored at how many people it takes to turn and prepare these patients for the doctor. I would be so ashamed. And I’m sure they are, but it’s not enough to make them change.
That's for yhe show in real life it's 2 people
Sounds so shallow but it amazes me how the partners can get together or stay with someone so huge. Having to wipe poo, the smells, the infections, the sight of mounds of fat, watching them stuff their faces. I just couldn’t do it
It’s a fetish.
I hear ya! Not in a million years!
For some people they like it, It’s a fetish. I’m assuming most partners on this show are chubby chasers and feeders
there are men with their own issues. once the woman can even get down tob300lbs. the men leave. foodies.
I suspect he had a criminal past, can't find a job, and had no apartment of his own when they met, and that's why they married so quick.
She's his mealticket.
That husband is SO weird. You give her healthy things. A couple whole eggs, maybe 1 cup egg white. Chicken Breast. Things like that. Hey, if she doesn't like it too bad. It's not like she's going to run after you. She'll eat what you give or she'll starve to death. Her choice, either way I'd say that you win. There's no way that I would waist my one and only life taking care of someone like her. Absolutely not! Go find someone that's normal who you can actually do something with. Before you know it, you're old and close to death. Live your life.
If there is one thing I KNOW, it's that lady isn't going to starve to death! She could LITERALLY live off of water alone for probably a year or more.
Maybe he’s one of those people that like it like that. Believe it or not, there are fat fetish people who get off on this stuff
She won’t waste away with no sustenance because her waist is huge.
There are guys that get off on big fat Mommas.
@@stephenthomas1492 No she couldn't
The smirk she has while eating a breakfast platter that would feed 4 people absolutely enrages me.
What pisses me off is the tax payers pay for everything. Why should fat people get handouts? They can change their situation, people with actual sickness cannot.
A normal reaction of disgust in response to an addict's behavior.
It was easier to be one a victim and blame everything than take responsibility for bettering your life. She's been an adult long enough to turn her life around.
Lazy is easy when you can convince others to do the work.
I have a slice of toast or half a tin of grapefruit segments for breakfast.
Yessss
They always say...."im willing to do whatever it takes"
Unless what it takes is eating less and moving around a bit
Who wants to feed and look after that ? Simon has a Fat and feeding fetish
Bingo! 😅
Yes it is so easy. You should be very reach, because you found a way.
When I say the same to my uncle I'm the bad one disrespectful for tell the truth
They're that friend that shows up late to help you move, then just kind of disappears and half-pretends to help, then wants you to thank them afterward.
They dont listen....yet they cry when realise he doesnt have a magic wand ....with fast food attached....
FAR TOO MANY people trying to coddle these people and spare their fee-fees. Hard truths need to be spoken. Have help ready if they want it, but they have to actually do what needs to be done.
Touchè my friend.
My highest weight was 190 lbs. I lost a lot just watching this show and following the diet. Ive had a lot of death lately, living in a nursing home. I gained some weight, which is my own fault, and have restarted Dr Nows diet. We need to own our own problems, not blame everybody else. Happy New Year everyone. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy New Year, Caroline
This show DOES inspire one to lose weight or not eat a lot of junk food!
Is there an official Dr Now diet?
All that fast food, fried. These people don’t know how to cook a meal. Everything comes out of the food box. It’s quite disgusting
What is the Dr Now diet?
The caretaker is the enabler. He brings her a table full of food for every meal. A caretaker who cares, will bring healthy meals in reasonable portions to the bedridden obese person.
Caretaker is for properties. Caregiver is for people
All he has to do is bring her water. She could survive on water alone for months or maybe years.
@@stephenthomas1492 She can’t. People can live up to 70 days without protein because humans don’t store protein.
@stephenthomas. No, people do need to eat, regardless of how obese they are. People need protein, essential fats, vitamins and minerals. And water. A morbidly obese person can survive on a balanced low calorie diet, although of course those diets are pretty miserable.
He's a feeder. He wants her fat.
She's like the princess and the pea..She whines constantly and has tantrums, makes other people miserable, acts like a 3 year old. She did this to herself, after all.
Toxic relationship with food is putting it very mildly.
She's going to make food extinct.
Her husband says he is more than happy to take care of her but just look at his face that is not happiness
And I can't stand HER face when she eats. She gets this weird grin as soon as the first bite of food enters her mouth. Creepy.
Why do these massive people ALWAYS have wives/girl friends or husbands/boy friends who do EVERYTHING for them? I had trouble getting dates in high school because I was 15 pounds overweight. In those days, if you were 30 lbs. overweight you were a freak. It just seems to be part of the syndrome to have a partner who is virtually captive and just keeps the addiction going.
These people have an addiction to caregiving and enabling. It’s what they get off on. There are YT channels that glorify binge eating. (Mukbang) None of this should surprise anyone.
The partners get paid for being the care giver. All courtesy of the tax payer
The partners get paid for being the care giver. All courtesy of the tax payer
Indeed, or family members who enable the food addict
Bbw Web sites x
I weighed 210 and I am doing great now and weigh 132 it took 1 year tho best of luck of those who want to lose weight I believe in you.❤❤😊😊
Great job
Damn that’s really good!
thats amazing!!!
Great job! I started at 212 in April and I’m now down to 184. Still 40 pounds to go but it feels so good to lose weight.
How big are you and what sex do you have? Sounds like a very small frame, even for a female.
ALWAYS BLAME SOMEONE ELSE…that is the answer. That blockhead of her husband is the enabler, he needs to learn the word NO NO NO. Where do they get the money ?
Weight loss surgery only works IF YOU STICK TO HIS RECOMMENDATIONS but most don’t and start gaining the initial small weight loss back.
They get the money from the TAX-PAYERS. Don't you feel special that you have to go to work to pay for that cow to eat all day?
Where Do They Get The Money You Ask?? From You and I and All the TAXPAYERS!! All these BLOBS are getting SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY, FOOD STAMPS and WELFARE. We are Paying for their MASSIVE MEALS!!
You're pretty vocal on the comment section of a lot of these videos. Are you projecting? I'D be curious to see a full length picture of you, actually.
She’s always been overweight since 7
@@stephenthomas1492they don’t get much, but they could budget smartly if they tried.
These people need to be told NO! what are they going to do about it??? Absolutely nothing. They can't move and poop and pee themselves. So disgusting! How can they afford all that food?
Disability payments, I figure
I sure you aren't addicted to cigarettes. If you are, how about I tell you no. Go into withdrawal and see how often you mess up...
YOU and I and All the Taxpayers are paying for Their Food!! They are All on SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY!! We Work to Feed Their Addictions!!
@@belindaoutzen1376So right u are! I’ve been trying to quit for years ugh 😑
Addressing Shannon's serious depression might be the first step ...
It can’t be when death is knocking at her door. What good is it to fix the mind when the body will give out before she can even heal
@@Chelsea.Stevie because it's impossible to fix one without the other unless you want to incapacitate her for months
Normally I'd agree, but in this case I think it's more important to get the weight going down immediately. Depression needs to be addressed along the way.
Yep, ugly on the outside usually means ugly on the inside, too.
I absolutely would NOT wash, feed, ect for anybody who wants to eat till their they are morbid
That "breakfast" was 4 DAYS worth of food for me. (That is, if I ate trash fast food.) She ate a DOZEN meals worth of food FOR BREAKFAST. Girl, you did it to yourself. I don't have much sympathy.
The breakfast was enough for a buffet for a group of people.
Drug addicts and alcoholics "do it to themselves too." It is a mental problem. Please don't become a nurse.
i was 160 kg in 2020 my age was 49 now im 51 i am now 84 kg with diet and treadmill
Good on you! You prove it can be done if you really want to.
That’s great for you!!!😊
AWESOME!! Keep it up 😊
I got no perspective on metric, how bad is that? I know 84K is like 170-180 pounds but don’t know how it scales up or what 160 would be in pounds, but I’m guessing like 330-350?
was veryyyyyyy hard@@lizawilliams483
There needs to be a truck load of psychological work done on these poor souls in line with the diet before any surgery. Nearly everyone on these shows have deep seated childhood trauma. So sad, I wish them well ❤
Absolutely! Couldn't find an emoji of an arrow hitting the center of the target, but picture it!
🎯
This woman seemed to be let down by all the adults in her life when she was a child. Thats A LOT to heal from.
@@pixel9548there is one of those emojis you know.
How much psychological work will a truck haul?
Shannon is sickening with all her whining! Another queen of denial.
Also wonder how much of the story is true if it's always one sided..........."my dad ended up punching me in the mouth"...... yet the guy seems perfectly normal and reasonable
@@Orestophelesit was her step dad who punched her, not her biological dad.
Lack of self control is the problem, not a difficult childhood. I know the truth hurts. Allowing your child to eat anything all day long causes this.
Unbelievable how the human body can become so unrecognizable. The infinifat lead such a shallow life. Shannon acts like a 2 year old, dependent on everyone, her behavior is sickening
never dawned on her to try to live on her own
That's because all fat people are mean as hell seriously
Same as whitney houston and her drug addiction and behaviours which her daughter copied.
Why would you feed someone all that junk? just feed her very small amounts of healthy food and that's it. What is she gonna do? she can't even go to the fridge so she would just have to deal with it. This is disturbing to watch.
she's going to scream and cry and tell him every cuss word and what she thinks of him until he gives her the food she wants. that's how they manipulate the enabler that has low self esteem themself.
Right
Jesus how does one get like that…. Once your pushing 300-350pounds, wouldn’t that be a sign to get some help?
You shouldn't have to wait until you are pushing 300 to get help.
@@darlahays2471 But that number _can_ be a catalyst.
I had a young man who worked for me, and was heavy. He and his wife LOVED to eat at nice restaurants.
Eventually he saw 300 lbs on the scale, and said, at age 28, "that's it."
He went on some kind of a six small meals per day, _VERY_ strict eating 5 days per week, with two cheat days.
His loss was slow, but after a couple years, he was down to 180. I admire his dedication to task.
Or use His holy name like that.@@darlahays2471
No one should ask how or why but offer help whenever possible. I'm guessing you possibly just get to the stage where it's just too hard with too much weight to lose.
@@helenmears6178 - Rubbish. We need to point and laugh. Shame is needed more than ever nowadays. We're not doing these people any favors by trying to spare their fee-fees.
I don’t understand how people can afford to spend that much money on food… it must cost a fortune every week to be 700 lbs
'YOU know I've never really pushed myself' .... ehh yeah clearly!
It’s the health care workers I worry about. These ppl injure them everyday but they are so narcissistic they don’t give a damn. I’ve seen ppl less then half that weight injure ppl and it’s a damn shame
I agree. Fat people are just mean in general.💯👍
There comes a point when:
The food is on the table dear, come get it. Oh, it's not enough, here's the money the shop is down the street.
It's not denial if you are providing enough to live on. You don't need to be complicit in dangerous behaviour.
I'd bet my next paycheck that they were at a drive-thru fast-food joint IMMEDIATELY after leaving the hospital.
😂@@stephenthomas1492
I love it how they're talking about compassion in these videos but the thumbnails are always 25 pizzas in front of someone with the quote "I WANT MORE!". LOL.
"Me too, I was 310 at my highest, high blood pressure and diabetes sky-high, I barely could walk a quarter of a block without getting out of breath! I went on a 800 calorie day a diet of chicken, fish, salad, vegetables and plenty of water! I also power-walked and did weights with low-impact exercises! It took 1year and a half but I lost the weight and have maintained it for years! I'm now 175 pds. My BP is good and I'm off insulin and back on pills!" 😂😢😮😅❤🎉
the amount of food they eat is insane, wowza
i can eat a fair bit by normal standards, but im a mouse compared to these guys. But the bit that i dont understand is, so you're confined to a bed, most of them have a partner, not just a live in slave, who either also doesnt work, or, is not pulling in a high salary, soi how are they affording a car, house, and food?
I also want to know!
Meanwhile me being insecure about the little flabs under my arms....
The people on this show seem to universally think that all they need is surgery and then they'll be magically "fixed." The fact is that weight loss surgery is no magic pill. Post surgery, you still have to maintain good eating habits. There are any number of people who have regained all their lost weight and more after surgery.
I totally agree. My wife and sister-in-law both had bariatric surgery. My wife lost a bunch of weight and maintained the weight loss. She was diabetic and the surgery and diet that followed “cured” her diabetes so she no longer needed insulin or oral medication. My SIL, on the other hand, lost some weight but wouldn’t follow the diet and as such has gained back all she lost plus more. She is bedridden and in constant pain from the weight. No clue what she weighs but I bet it’s close to 400 lbs.
The surgery is totally unnecessary. It's all diet at the end of the day.
I doubt very much that Simon, her husband, has a job. He is living off of her welfare checks and food stamps, and rent
I suspect that's why these "carers" are seldom motivated to do what really needs to be done.
He's also getting paid by the government to be her caretaker.
More to the point they're living off off US, the tax-payers who have to work every day while they stay home. It's infuriating.
Being her full-time caregiver is his job.
I’m from the UK like Simon. Is he allowed to claim benefits in America? Is he eligible because he married an American citizen?
excuses, excuses, excuses and always someone or either something else to blame
Even in my wildest nightmare, I could or would NEVER be that guy living with Shannon or ANYONE that size. Hell no!
He has compassion something you should work on
It's bad what the person you live with could endanger your life by falling on top of you
Sick but true! @@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973
I hear ya...
@@amygriesinger6285Oh, really?? So you'd be a caretaker to someone who put THEMSELVES in this position? Somebody call the Vatican, you're next on the list for Sainthood!
I can't believe how much food is on her tray(s) at 5:55 that is totally absurd. That is one of the biggest problems we have nowadays , no one ever gets embarrassed any more.
Not just 'how much' food on that plate - did you happen to see what that food was? I swear those were burgers and iced cakes on the 'same' plate.
It's grotesque.
People with addictions aren't embarrassed
@@paulapii1761that’s not true. I imagine a lot of embarrassment happens. Can you imagine weighing that much and have to be weighed in front of all those people!!!
Apparently she is not a Christian. Because the Bible states that gluttony is a sin.
I am beating my head as to how does she has a husband and I can't even find a good man!!
I’m thinking the same thing!😢
Right!
It’s shocking, isn’t it?
I think it's because we have standards and don't just take anyone
Girl same!
Dr. Now gives these people such a wonderful opportunity to get their life back and they don’t even try to lose weight. I guess coming from someone who has never had a serious weight issue it’s just hard for me to relate.
I absolutely can NOT believe how any person of her age could act like she does constantly crying and throwing temper tanterns like a dang 2 yr old !!! 😮😮😮 UNBELIEVABLE !!!
She does that because it gets her what she wants.
are you kidding? it's super common for people her age to be like that
Its because no one stopped her tantrums in her child hood.so she acts the same at 40 yrs old .
The food piled up on her plates and her scoffing it makes me think of a very spoilt child at a bitthday party taking everything for herself.
God damn have a little bit of control, and shame.
Sorry not sorry
What makes these people think that weight-loss surgery is going to be any easier than shedding pounds the old-fashioned way, by eating less?
this is so true
Well the surgery will kind of force them to eat less because their stomachs are physically smaller. They can try to do it the old fashioned way but the only thing stopping them from eating more is discipline. And who’s to say they won’t crack one day and just go back to old ways? If they try that soon after the surgery there’s dire consequences.
@@asmlove32the hardest part for these people is the eating less, because they are addicted to and obsessed with food/eating. Surgery won’t change their obsession with eating
Because the surgery can potentially do two important things:
1. Make their stomach MUCH smaller, so if they overeat, they get sick and throw up
2. Sometimes (this is unpredictable, because it varies just like fingerprints and arteries do) the surgical removal also removes some of the person's body's ghrelin production, so their hunger gets reduced.
That said, I'm glad I lost weight without surgery, because it can be risky.
That's not a good way to lose weight. I can't believe people are still so ignorant on the science of obesity. 😢
Her level of immaturity shows with the "cat ears" headband she wears.....at 40 years old 😮
And the temper tantrums. Don't know how the husband stands it. "I'm in a lot of pain...." as she stuffs her mouth with food!
She was never allowed to enjoy being a child. Now, she is take care of by the husband and she's seen. No matter what the cause of it is
Why is wearing cat eats childish?
How can anyone afford the grocery bill ? Even eating a meal like that once a day .
Plus all the fast food. That stuff isn’t cheap!
@@annenelson5656 True ! Especially nowadays !
Apparently the show gives them food money 😮
WE, the taxpayers, are paying for all that food.
I can’t believe them spending all the money
I know we all have options but, if your in that state can there be a contract, that the patient signed to say hospital stay comes with a diet plan…. NO outside food allowed , rehab won’t allow alcohol or drugs inside what’s the difference?
Yes! I have wondered about that exact same thing!
They’re addicts. They sneak the food in via their enablers.
They always have husband's who never have jobs. Her life was a lot more stable than mine was, and I don't eat that much, or you use my life as an excuse for every mistake I make.
They get paid to take care of them. It’s disgusting
That’s why they’re enablers. Means they can stay off work and be carers.
I don't know about other states, but here where I live, if one spouse is the certified caregiver of the other spouse, that caregiver receives SS benefits, nearly as much as if they were working a full-time outside job. They do have to show/prove that they have been trained and certified as a primary caregiver, they cannot just walk in and say so.
My next door neighbor, the wife, is her husband's primary caregiver, certified, so she receives benefits from SS. They aren't overweight, though; he has a degenerative spinal condition and he had to retire at an age that was too young for Social Security benefits, so he had to take SSD.
The ginormous one is also typically on SSD (which Social Security should not be doing). They also receive SNAPS/food stamps, Medicare and Medicaid (and again, should not), they raid food banks to get free food, they buy other food from places like the Dollar stores, getting the absolute cheapest junk there is, etc.
What a cry baby!! Listen I myself have had weight issues but I would never ever allow myself to get anywhere near 600 pounds! 739 pounds, give me a break!!!😮
Well, you don’t have a serious addiction problem. It’s no different than someone addicted to drugs and alcohol.
No, you'd only allow yourself to get to 499 pounds.
This show is heartbreaking! How is this not considered a mental illness that you can be scheduled for? Anorexia is. These people are just as unwell.
You are correct this is a mental illness and some of the comments just don't understand it.
It is. It’s an addiction, that’s widely known. Addiction IS a mental illness. There’s a word for it too, BED (binge eating disorder).
I feel bad saying this but I am surprised she can feel her tailbone. Is it really her tailbone or fats that was hurting?
Dnt feel bad cause I was wondering if she had a tailbone with all dem fat and rolls
I was thinking the same thing!
The way she´s smiling to the food!!! My God...she´s completely a food addicted!!! So sad!!!
If you think about it, though, what else would she do with a camera on her all the time, and the producer and exec producer constantly telling her (or any of them) to "act as if you enjoy the food!"?
My mother was about 5'1" and about 400 lbs. She died when her heart decided that it had enough! No heart attack, just stopped! The thing is that I never saw her eat a lot. Yes, she had to of eaten more than she let us see to get to that weight! So, my dad had to of been her enabler.
You need to eat a lot only when you eat healthy in order to meet your daily caloric needs. When you eat crap, you literally can get 5000+ calories with a meal in 20 minutes
I'm so sorry for your loss! That has to hurt!
My grandma was obese, and my mom (her daughter) told me that she rarely saw Grandma sit down and eat, but would taste as she was cooking.
They almost need to have a Rehab like for drugs where they do to stay on a diet with no family or any possible way to cheat
So Jail? Can’t Get Fat In There Fr
How Do These Ppl Always Have Spouses 😮??
Skinny ones too! I heard there’s a lot of dudes into big women and big women like Shannon with profitable Only Fans accounts. There’s these fetish sites where dudes pay to watch those obese women eat.
Also, a lot of them have kids too!
I think these spouses who marry 'large' people either have a bit of a kink for fat, or they are very insecure/possessive and know that if they keep their partners super sized - no one else is going to want them or try to attract them out of their relationship.
I really wonder if the enablers are in need of as much psychological help as the obese patients require medical help.
Look at them!
I know! I’m slender and attractive and can’t get someone!
Some of them have children...how? And why?
These people are a huge strain on ANY health insurance ‼️
Probably on Medicaid
Not as much as drug addicts.
You mean tax payers.
Something in the car was poking in her tail BONE???? 😂
What tail bone all she has is fat so that's not true😂😂😂
I wondered about that one too!
Dubiouis, but it could have been. How, I don't know, there being at least 100 pounds of backside between her and the floor of the vehicle...
These ppl don't know how to change? The food doesn't crawl out of the fridge and climb into their mouths 😅
Probably one of the most grotesque people I've seen on this show yet. Look at all those rolls hanging off places they shouldn't 😮 Brutal.
It’s shocking
The doctor said "your body just doesn't know where to store the fat any more ..."
That's frightening in itself.
It’s strange how people will store fat in different places.
Her legs are bizarre looking.
I want to have sympathy for her but she’s not even helping herself. She only has excuses and justifications. So my sympathy isn’t very high. She’s gotta get help and be disciplined
I have a saying…..you can’t help people that won’t even help themselves!
Something you notice about every single one of these cases is they come from a broken home
Addictive behavior is often avoidance of deep feelings.
Like abandonment and rejection like this example.
So they say‼️
Yeah, those motorized chairs are really hard to use You have to sit up.
😂😂😂 good one
I know I'll never be in this position, but why do family members give them all of this food? Surely, they are unable to run after them, or get the food themselves, It shouldn't matter how angry they get, just give them moderate portions of good healthy food.
“ weeks of eating only 3 meals a day” 😂
Ikr? ONLY 3 meals? That’s the standard!
I work at an assisted living facility and there’s a lady who is 500lbs. She’s a secret eater and blames everyone but herself. Complains about everything. One night she blamed me for moving her wheelchair in front of her fan and that she was sweating and that her folds would be wet n infected bc of me. I told her there’s no way her wheelchair could even fit into the space between the foot of her bed and the fan that she has on a table. So ridiculous. her chair is too large to fit in the space and there’s no way ima lift a heavy chair sideways n squeeze it in a space lol
As a woman that had a VERY VERY TRAUMATIC childhood, and has been heavy my entire life, i hae never ever ever blamed my childhood for my weight smh.
⬆️⬆️ THIS! ⬆️⬆️
Why did she say her husband cooks the food? All i saw was processed fried junk, no cooking, no vegetables. He is culpable for this.
He may (or may not) be a feeder, or just gives in so she doesn’t throw tantrums, but at the end of the day….her weight is only on her.
When it comes to cleaning their bowel movement, I would absolutely need to be dressed in a hazmat suit with a breathing device, or I would faint
Each one must be the size of a small child 😳
Ha! Me too 😂
Lucky yr not a nurse then.
Simon loved and accepted her for who she was= he knew he could have a free place to live from now on, leave and see any other woman he wants.
Ridiculous how sympathetic this presentation is
Right
How do these ‘beautiful but UNTRAINED carers’ cope,especially with toileting its mind blowing.
NO carers should EVER be untrained!!
Some of them are feeders and the rest are co- dependant on the way they feel needed.
I was 1 week old when my mama abandoned me. She's never been a part of my life, and I know I grew up to be a better person because of it. Im sorry. A bad childhood is an excuse. Btw, I weigh 117
Good for you, but not everyone handles life the same way you do. We are all different.
I am amazed how these people can surround themselves with so many devoted friends and family. This woman had a husband, a father and neighbors who lugged her around on cross country trips and never seemed to lose patience. If I were that size somebody might volunteer to shoot me with an elephant gun if I would pay for the bullet.
😂😂😂👍❣️🇿🇦
We see only what the production team wants viewers to see. You can be sure there's a whole lot going on all day, every day, around, behind, up and down in those lives that nobody ever wants to know about!
That car scene when the husband got frustrated, seemed like him and the dad held back b/c of the cameras. Even the neighbor looked pissed. I have a feeling they go at it & that maybe she took advantage of the situation.
“No matter what, imma keep stuffing my mouth” 🍲 🍱
Sometimes I feel bad, then I get mad. I work fulltime, my taxes pay for her to stay home, for her husband to bathe and feed her. All working people are paying for all this. I don't want to see people suffer, but she's not my family and I don't want to pay for her, her food, her surgery, her medicine, especially because this is self induced, this is curable. Frustrating. There are so many people like her on obesity disability and their caretakers, it's overwhelming.
I do not think people should get disability for self induced issues
Imagine her skeleton underneath all that
"I dont colour anymore" with those kitty cat ears on made me burst out laughing.
I have many of them. 😌
Don't laugh. Adult art books are a thing, no harm done, it's a creative outlet, & it's something to do besides EAT. So what's your problem w/ them??
It is a tragedy I know people who say it is always there fault, she needs to help herself, I had a friend she was 716lbs and while she was trying to get help she died.😮😢
That's so sad.
Oh, no. My condolences. That was too much, on her body.😢
Oh, wow. Like any addiction, it’s incredibly difficult to break without a LOT of help. I lost my sister to alcoholism three years ago. There are so many similarities of thought and behaviour between that addiction and this. The horrible thing is that there isn’t a damn thing anyone else can do to help.
@@clareshaughnessy2745 you are so right
I was overweight, and one morning, I woke up and said enough is enough! I was alive and not living. How did I lose the weight?
1. ACCOUNTABILITY! Regardless of what happens, I am responsible for what I eat.
2. My will to live tastes better than any food.
3. Simply eat less and slowly weened myself off of certain foods. For example, if I'm craving something instead of eating a troth of it. Smaller portions of it.
4. Drink more water, even if it's flavored water, versus soda and juices.
5. Incorporate fruits & vegetables.
6. And lastly....Move! Wiggle feet, kick legs, lift arms. Simply move if possible. Something is better than nothing, and build yourself up.
Damn NOBODY could take care of this one child??? Jesus man….
Her mom basically couldn't. Her mom was probably in a wc, she had a form of muscular dystrophy.
Good for you!!😊 whatever addiction you have(and there are plenty) has to come from within , acceptance is key. Best place to start.😊
She hasnt lost any weight still in 2023
I'm surprised she's still alive
She changed the Pantera lyrics from,"you take this Love", to "you take this Lard Lard Lard you take this Lard
What a difference it makes hearing these episodes with a compassionate narrator. The way the producers film the show is brutal, degrading and always paints participants in a poor light. Thanks for being humane ❤
I admire these people's patience. I would tell her to calm down or walk to Houston.
Its completely on her hubbys shoulders. Shes not able to get the food herself..he's enabling her 100%
But she treats him bad if he doesn't
I have noticed that there seems to be a high level of narcissism with many of these patients - they are self-obsessed, and they still behave like children and want everyone around them to serve them entirely. Shannon is one of the best examples of it. She focuses WAY too much on issues in her childhood - which nearly all of these patients do. They are adults - this woman is middle aged - yet they talk on and on about events that happened when they were seven and how that explains all of the bad choices they make as adults. It’s not helpful and seems to be a psychological crutch for them. They have a toddler-like relationship to food, staring at it and just wolfing it down, and they throw tantrums like toddlers. Sad.
I.honestly don't understand how people let themselves get to be so bad. It's a copout with history of bad growing up. Many people have bad situations and they are fine. Having a temper tantrum in the car? Good grief. This is just pathetic!
Her behavior is infantile. Crying to get her way.
These spouses/enablers are unbelievable. Where do you find them?
She must be on disability. Receives money.
Must be on Food Stamps. Receives money and food.
Gets free necessary home equipment..bed, chair etc.
She gets help.
How did she get big if the family hardly had food.
it said she went to the fast food restaurant the father worked at and ate there cuz there was no food at home. there she found eating took away the sadness and it tastes good too.
All courtesy of the tax payers!
Why do these people blame the people around them when the biggest enabler is themselves. These people have no self control. Millions of people have a hard childhood but don’t end up getting to this size. I find it hard to feel sorry for them. I’m not saying this husband isn’t enabling her he is, but she needs to wake up and want to loose weight for herself.
I've never seen a doctor wait in the car park for a patient to arrive....
This is what's wrong with a no-shame, no stigma society. People just walk around thinking they're not to blame. Their depression is. Their anxiety is. Anything but them
They should include a mental health therapist to the treatment team to counsel these patients
They need a big dose of public shame. Call it tough love if you'd like. None of this coddling is going to have any positive effect.
@@stephenthomas1492but she’s totally healthy remember health at every size? All this talk of losing weight is just crazy talk, we are bullying her by saying she needs to lose weight! 🙄
They now require Psychotherapy before doing the surgeries on the show.
They do.
