I'm still under 5 feet. I am at 120 but each pound I gain I can definitely feel it more in my petite frame. It's even worse when you're a little person too.
I just don't understand how parents don't interfere with their child's habits when they know their child is overweight. 120lbs at 7 yrs old just boggles my mind. I feel like her mom could've done something back then to help her daughter....
@@charlie-ot5ug like I watch a bunch of these and it's like parent's don't do anything to help their child that they know is overweight or having health issues. I know parents go through trials too, but damn.
What’s sad is in cases like these the parents never take responsibility for the role they played in influencing how their child ate. They were the ones buying and stocking the home with food. Yet they act like it was completely out of their control. It’s sad they push it and blame it on the kids, when kids don’t know any better.
She doesn’t need a medical doctor. She needs a therapist so she can be guided to tackle the root cause of her eating habits! I hope she gets the help she needs 💕
-"My husband is the one who was overfeeding me" Also her: -"Cooks 15 eggs with like 2 pounds of cheese for breakfast, with a bucket of sausages" -"Eating is my only reason to live" Unless she stops blaming everyone but herself, and admits she have a problem, I see nothing but failure in her (probably short) future... Shame really, she looks like a nice young lady!
She really needs to get rid of that ugly ass hair color. She had been married. She has a daughter and can't take care of her either wow. Dolly needs to grow up and take responsibility . This is not going good already.
I have said that exact same thing before. It’s amazing that the body can function for as long as it does. With all of the fat around the vital organs, to the ankles, being able to support all that weight, walking around every day, to many other things it’s amazing the body is able to handle the wear and tear.
@@kenazfehu7176 Well yeah, kind of. You don’t need to have snacks or junk food in your house. Or if you insist put it in a place only you as the parent can access and give it out as a treat as the product is intended
@@kenazfehu7176 It's actually not that hard. My parents had to install magnetic locks while taking care of my grandma because of her dementia and unregulated sweet tooth. It was an annoyance at first, but eventually undoing the lock just became second nature.
@@kenazfehu7176cook three healthy meals for them and keep the snacking to a minimum and they should be healthy and active and full enough to wait until the next meal. 😊
I always think the same thing, I cant even fathom how awful that would feel to essentially be trapped in my own body suffocating me. I cant imagine carrying that weight around. I dont give a shit about food except that I have to eat to live. I cant relate with these people who act like food is the most important thing in life
I was well on my way to becoming like this at 255+ lbs and gaining. Food addiction is very real. Gotta fight it and stay the course. Down to 208lbs now and feeling amazing. Never give up.
This is utterly heart wrenching. She was a little girl who wanted her daddy!! He left her! For parents with addiction issues; get help and get it together so your child doesn't spend the rest of their lives wondering what they did to make you leave!!!!!!!
My son lost his father to drugs in 2021 and he has autism and ADHD, I am enforcing healthy eating habits, because he uses food to cope with the loss of his father, he is only 9. I work part time just to care for him. Dear, do not give up, I know God will restore you and mend you broken heart. You got this.
Don’t ever think you’re punishing or starving him. Hold your ground and do what’s right with him. Do not have any of the unhealthy food in the house. With therapy and love! He will get better
I’m very sorry for your loss @rainkings. Your resolve and caring do deeply about how your son copes is touching and true parenting. God Bless you both.
Well done! It's hard. I will take you as my inspiration. I need to go down a lot. I am going to tell myself, you did it. So its possible to it. I can do it 😀
It sounds like the mom was working hard to make sure she and her daughter survived living with the father. In addition, the mother was also morbidly obese until recently.
Not everything is always black and white. It's not that simple. Sometimes parents think they are doing the right thing when essentially they are doing more damage.
@@judyisapunk7928 exactly I was diagnosed in 2018 and misdiagnosed twice in HS with major depressive disorder then severe major depression. It took atleast half of my 20s to get diagnosed fully. (PTSD, BPD1, Anxiety, Insomnia) so I cannot believe KINDERGARTEN. There’s just no waaaay.
Psychologist are full of BS! They diagnosed me with a bunch of nonsense when I was 14. None of it was even sensible based on my behavior. They are paid to lie , most have subjective opinions anyway. One will say one thing, then another will say another. I don't really trust them that often. Don't get me wrong, some are genuine, but most aren't really legit. They make up a disorder and write some prescriptions that do NOTHING but make you gain weight!
@@fionaoliver7237 no she didn't shower, her friend and mom had to make her do and do it for her, because she was too lazy. Normal sized people stink when they don't bathe, imagine a morbidly obese person like her? I can't imagine.
I was morbidly obese and I was able to cut my weight by more than half. I wish these ladies could spend one day in their bodies at a normal weight and get a taste of the confidence that accompanies it. Knowing what it feels like to be a normal weight and all that goes with it, would be the best motivator in the world. No amount or type of food will ever fill emotional voids. In fact, the obesity that comes with the food from overeating causes even more heartache.
Diagnosing a kindergartner with bipolar disorder is truly insane. Honestly, a diagnosis of oppositional defiant disorder at that age is a lot, too! It's pretty difficult to truly meet the criteria for these disorders when kids are that young, and it's even less likely that she truly had all three diagnoses. The problem itself wasn't oppositional behavior, the real problem was losing her father and being exposed to drug use. It's heartbreaking to see such young kids labeled in a way that probably results in more harm. I'm guessing that those diagnoses followed her through school, and resulted in worse treatment from teachers and even other kids. Children who get labeled as 'oppositional' generally get less empathy, less patience, and more punishment in schools. It's just sad to see how psychologists and schools failed her...
Can you imagine the medications they probably put her on? They can make you gain a lot of weight if you’re not careful and a kid doesn’t understand that.
Thank you!!!! And it's even WORSE now!!! I'm on a bunch of mom groups on Facebook. Yesterday I came across a post of a woman who was trying to diagnose her fucking TWO years old with ODD!! TWO!!!!! 4 year olds with ADHD, medicated 6 year olds. It's HORRIFYING. Parents are out of control trying to get their kids diagnosed and idk how tf they're getting these doctors to make these diagnoses so young!!!
I work in a pharmacy and many MANY of the children that are taking ADD and ADHD medications are very young children. It breaks my heart because I feel like they are just being children. Children are supposed to be hyperactive
You can only blame your past for so long before you take responsibility and understand that life is never fair. You must do the best you can do in everything, and love the day like it’s your last.
This is The blind leading the blind here. Truly sad. I hope they wake up and get it together. You can only blame your childhood only up until you become an adult. Then it’s up to you to deal with it and get help if you need it and move forward. I can say this because I had a horrendous and violent childhood. It defined me until I realized that holding on and not forgiving was hurting me more than helping me. Today I’ve forgiven but not forgotten and I cut ties with those who’ve hurt and shown no remorse. I can’t tell you how freeing and wonderful life becomes once you face it. Deal with it and let it go. I pray they are able to find themselves and do exactly this.
Dolly’s blue hair is super pretty. I really hope she finds the courage to turn her life around; I know she’d be absolutely beautiful if she was healthy 🤍🤍🤍
Insane. This is truly insane. My heart goes out to ....... the dog. This animal is not taken care of AT ALL. A dog has to go out has to have the chance to be outside .... those two can eat themselves into a grave but to be so cruel to this poor animal is disgusting
@@emilyfeagin2673 if she did the best she could her daughter wouldn't be where she is. My mom was a single mom that immigrated from Guatemala and my father was also a homeless drug addict. My mom would come home from a 10 hour day of cleaning houses and cook us a healthy meal from scratch. There was never junk food in our house. You teach your children self respect from the very beginning. My mom taught us discipline and hard work and how to make good choices and my mom came from an abusive home. It's obvious her mom loves her very much and no parent is perfect, but to allow your child to get this large and be obese at a very young age is neglect.
Dolly has a low IQ and ODD. these kids fight any and all forms of authority and are often difficult if not impossible to control. Few graduate high school and many end up in prison. Dolly admitted to sneaking food and she gained a large majority of her weight living with her feeder husband and then moved back home once she was too obese to care for herself. She was a fat child but her mother didnt force or allow her to become 500+ lbs @@CharleneOrtizTraining
@@coldorange5 RIGHT??? i mean how do you stuff so much food on your FIRST meal of tje day then eat probably even bigger portions throughout the day that’s just crazy
At 2023, she’s hardly lost any weight & it looks like her little girl is now also morbidly obese. What a shame as Dolly initially seemed committed to losing weight. It’s horrible to see the same negative pattern continue through generations. If congestive heart failure at 25 isn’t motivation enough to change, I don’t know what is! It’s just sad when people completely give up.
She's got a 3 year old daughter that's been removed from her and lives with her mum. At what point is she going to stop blaming her childhood and put her daughter first?.... (I had a bad childhood and have PTSD).
Absolutely heartbreaking. There was a time when food was my comfort, it’s scary. It’s like doing drugs especially when you isolate yourself from people. ❤
Everyone has their reasons for destructive behavior, but her mom was so strong to make him choose. I wish my mother had. She should be proud of her mom.
It’s easy to gain weight on food stamps as to stretch your purchases you cannot afford healthy foods. That means buying foods filled with starch and calories. That’s how it starts with children.
Started around 330lbs, down to about 220. 320 wasnt anything compared to this but still came with challenges so I can't imagine being the sizes Dr. Now helps.
My heaviest was 255 in high school. I finally got to my goal weight of 125 and feel alot better. I couldn't imagine being this heavy when i felt so crappy at 255.
Every school has that one kid that is fat. It’s not the kids fault, it’s the parents fault however, as adult, you have to deal with your issues and stop living in the pass and blaming childhood trauma.
one kid thats fat?? where are you hiding?? under a rock?? There are TONS of fat kids now in school. My brother was stationed in Germany for a couple years. he said most of Those kids are Healthy weight and really active! He couldn't believe how many fat kids are here now. You drive by middle school, kids out running for PE, and many of those kids are huge. tons of parents are ordering pizzas , or sitting in a drive thru at some fast food place cause they are tired. Kids sitting on the couch all weekend, all night , all through vacation on their playstations, xbox, ipads, etc etc stuffing their faces with potato chips, candy, and washing it all down with bottles of regular soda. Then, God forbid a parent tells them no more candy or chips, or no McDonalds tonight....... Then the kid has a royal shit fit. Then its "he is a picky eater" Yea no shit he is... you fed him nothing but junk!
I never judge these people partly because I’m overweight myself, but also because we all have our unhealthy ways of dealing with our problems. I’m judgment free, especially when they try to better themselves because that’s what I’m doing. i wish everyone was that way and realized that your issues or setbacks don’t make you who you are.
I've heard the quote: "if you like to eat, fasting" "If you like to sleep, wake up and praying" "If you like money, give charity" Indeed, the most real enemy for humans is lust.
1:43 Her dad chose the drugs over her and her mother, while she chooses food over her health and quality of life. Incapable of overcoming addiction, like father like daughter
I've been both fit and fat.. my highest weight were 200lbs.. i just let myself go, there's noone to blame except myself. Being 200lbs are the worst feeling ever, my back hurt, tired, my belly was to big and uncomfortable.. it must be hell to be 600lbs..
Most teachers do not understand ADHD as a problem with executive functioning. They treat it as a behavior problem that needs to be punished. It’s very hard to deal with and advocate for your children with ADHD. 😢
Have you met every teacher in order to make that assessment? There are many wonderful teachers who understand neurodivergent children, I'm autistic and had many growing up who helped me come out of my shell. I don't appreciate this constant bashing of teachers who are mostly just doing their best. I'm sure you don't like it when people judge your parenting.
This is how I feel coz my life sucks and I have nothing. I am mentally ill, unemployed and not loved. My family treats me as a thing. Even when I got a job I was empty. No friends, boyfriend, nothing. The only time I stopped thinking about food is when I went on vacation to Greece. I weight 85 kg. I feel little heavy and it really bothers me, i dont like this weight.
Well I definitely can relate to pretty much everything you mentioned. Im 25 no boyfriend, kids or any friends at all and my family always makes me feel like something is wrong with me because im not like “normal” women my age and I never have been. Im over weight im 210 pounds right now but i was 222 a week ago so im getting there and you can to. I was unemployed the entire month of February & i just started a job 2 days ago. Get you a job and figure out what you really want out of life . I plan to start my own cake business as soon as i get out of debt. Just take it one day at a time. Don’t seek love from anyone or anything love yourself and allow that to be your driving force in life. I wish you all the best & i hope you see the way💗
@@taviajenae6530 you have100 kg right now. I have 187 lbs. Its not that easy to find a job, since I live in really small town and my country is centralized,which means tha majority of jobs are in capital. Im from Europe. Yes, its easy to say that I should love myself and dont need anyone to love me. But its hard since I am alone and I recently turned 26. I never had a boyfriend. And I just see bunch of young people alone for years, like the last time they had relationship was when they were in highschool. I am so glad that you have a plan I also have a plan. Two options: one is to somehow go to bigger city and start to work, other plan is to be a touristic guide in Greece, I could do that. So we'll the time will show.
@@didi-bc1xs yeah im 5’4 I shouldn’t weigh more than 140 pounds. I’m from America, Texas to be exact and its fairly easy to find a job here. But you definitely need some kind of income if you want to elevate your life in my opinion. And also to be honest its easy to love yourself especially if you don’t feel anyone else does, which im sure your family does love you people can just be harsh and senseless. And i just turned 25 in November and I’ve had boyfriends throughout the years but ive never had a serious relationship I’ve always felt like i was alone too because i never had friends and i was bullied alot. But during all that I realize a long time ago that I don’t have anyone but myself and its up to me to love and cherish myself otherwise i would have perished a long time ago. And you’re right some times i get down too when i see people my age in long term relationships and having fun with their friends but it just is what it is at the end of the day. I think God in heaven just has a different plan for me is all even though it appears to be very different from most women or people in general. Thats good that you have something in mind just keep on envisioning goals and different paths you can take in life and let that be your motivation
@@didi-bc1xs also maybe you should consider moving. Since it doesn’t appear theres much to offer where you’re from. Come to American the southern states people are warm and friendly here, the weather is great and the cost of living is reasonable and there’s endless opportunities.
@@taviajenae6530 would love to but no money. In my town i literally have to decline same job offer 3 times. Coz I dont have money for moving out. I consider one option to travel even more than 3 hours im one direction. But there is no late night travel, so i would wait for 5 hours at night for the bus. I tried to teach languages, but wasn't that good with booking classes. Now im trying digital art, but its not Etsy(my country is not on the list that can sell) For one period I considered option of web cam. But i am too moral for that.
I must admit I'm a bit confused. Where do folks get the money to live a sedentary life with an overabundance of food to eat??? This is a serious question. She apparently doesn't have gainful employment. Her food costs must be exorbitant and she has medical issues. Where does her financial support come from?
I completely understand what it feels like to live for food and then hate yourself for its affect you. And I know bipolar meds affect one’s weight as well.
Very hard to do. Takes time, patience, hard work, money, and a really good therapist. In some people it can never be done.... it's hard, but therapists can help in other ways, too. Some good always comes out in therapy !!
One thing these videos have told me is that if I'll ever have a kid, I'm gonna spend as much time as possible with it. Most people in this state of life get there because of loniless. At least that's what I have seen on this series.
If you think the mom was very bad, the whole case its a lot different than what it seems. She had a kid with her ex husband that CPS took away from her. She was living with her mom, her mom was helping her loose weight but Dolly felt she was too controling (since she did not let her eat any bad food) so she went back to her abusive ex, after a while with him being abusive she left him for a homeless man, the only time she lost weight "succesfully" was when she was with her mom, the mom was doing everything to help her and taking care of her child but she kept choosing bad situations for her and not taking responsability for herself.
I feel for Dolly. It’s clear that she’s a little develop mentally delayed. It’s not merely the combination of ADHD, Bipolar and ODD. Neither one of those necessarily account for her infantilized behavior. She was babied, and over protected and stuck in arrested development. It DOES account for her risky behavior like jumping around from man to man, getting engaged almost instantly, running away from authority and consequences, etc. I’m concerned about her. She’s jealous of ducks because their mothers don’t boss them around and tell them what to eat. She also says she doesn’t blame the ducks for the lives they live or problems she has.
It's not REAL food you're talking about, it's trash food high in salt/sugar/saturated fat. You're addicted to the dopamine that sugar/salt gives you. If you lived in Japan, food is EVERYWHERE, but it's healthier- fish (sushi), tofu rolls, bao, buckwheat noodles, etc. In America, it's disgusting fired trash overloaded with oil and sugar.
I thought the exact same thing when I saw the episode. Bipolar doesn’t usually start until late teens/early 20s. I would assume she was diagnosed with it later and just jumbled it in there on that scene.
I have bipolar too, I understand what she is going through. I lost my dad back in 2021 ☹️😢. What helps me is gaming and hanging out with family. I bug my step-dad a lot.
People can "dress" and look stylish. This poor woman not only eats a dozen eggs and pound of cheese, she dresses in these crazy patterns and colors and that blue hair screams look at me when she is an introvert.
This is the reason why my parents perhaps let me "rebel" in a sense; my parents dont always have the best relationship with each other and I purged my frustration with playing sports. The more rage I felt towards my parents's impossible dynamic, the better I was at my sports of choice. It continues into my mid 30s now, especially dealing with childhood trauma and healing (with the help of my therapist). Sometimes I turned to food, but most times its extreme sports. I am exactly like this girl, but I somehow "balance" it with doing extreme sports. I recognise this is an addiction I have struggling with my mental health issues and of recent years I have definitely scale back my extreme sports participation, but yeah...I understand the addiction to food
When she says that her father ‘chose drugs over her’, unfortunately he didn’t ‘choose’, he had an uncontrollable addiction as well, it runs in the family. Addiction genetics are not only for drugs but can include other things too like food.
