I have a friend who has OCD, and he used to only eat mashed potatoes. He couldn’t eat anything else. Unlike the people on TLC, he was super underweight, weighing like 95 pounds. All his friends and I started making him special mashed potatoes (with his permission). We’d put in ground-up multi-vitamins, unflavored protein powder, and eventually other root vegetables. He still can only eat things that are puréed, but now he eats refried beans and other smooth foods like that. I’m super proud of him.
I wonder if her husband has tried broccoli with cheese or cauliflower with cheese especially the cauliflower cuz it isn't green.. maybe that would be a better introduction into veggies.. cauliflower and cheese doesn't have a strong flavor I mean you only taste the cheese and it would be the most similar looking thing you could get probably to taters and cheese..
And when mashed, cauliflower feels almost exactly like mashed potatoes. I'm T1 diabetic myself so I've had mashed cauliflower in place of mashed potatoes as a low-carb alternative.

Rats and giant rodents actually can be pretty smart or perceptive. Think I saw somethin where a capybara got depression. And rats have apparently been tested to develop kinks and can be used to find landmines. *shrug* nature's pretty cool
I feel bad for Kelly. I'm on the Autism spectrum and currently recovering from BED after my mum's svicide. Lots of safe foods I had weren't that healthy and changing my diet is really challenging. Gagged and threw up on quite some healthy foods, but I keep trying even though its not enjoyable most of the time. I really hope that she can get through that.
My family used to be really close with the first guy you watched and his family when we lived in Ohio ….. I’ve been in that house a hundred times hahahaha …. He’s lost around 300 pounds last time I saw him and is doing really well from what I understand
I can eat almost anything ( I dont have any particular problems, just common dislike for some food) but I have really annoying food anxiety. I cant eat outside, because of my panic attacks in the past (now I dont have them in this severity, almost non) I have been vomiting. And because it was social anxiety and I often ate outside, well, there is the mix of it. I dont like to eat outside, If there is no toilet for me to hide if something happend. Even If I know, I will not have panic attack I still ate like a bird.
No actually, it's not. Plenty of people have supportive friends and family and still have these issues. Besides, just because you didn't see them in that short video clip, doesn't mean they don't already exist.
I have a hyperfixation for cereal and sour milk. Eat it every night for dinner and if I can't for whatever reason I get anxious and kind of sad. Don't know why 🤷♀️
I don’t think much people will care but if some do, the last person who acts like a baby might be a way of coping with depression and trauma(people call them littles). I don’t know if the last dude was doing that as a coping mechanism or is just kinda weird tho😭
The most amount of food I have eaten at once was when I had 1 large chocolate milkshake, 1 large hot chocolate and 2 large sweet and chilli chicken wraps from Mcdonalds
I was hungry before i watched this, im not anymore. Thanks i guess. Anyway who else thinks adding cheese to fast food fries is the driest nastiest food ever?
That man robs wife was oberweight not to the extent he was. But if i was in his situation and my gf/and or wife was overweight and i was him and they werent trying to better themselves i probably wouldnt try as hard either
Tbh I kinda feel for these people I personally have a eating disorder and I'm a bit overweight and it's either I eat nothing or I eat everything and I can't help myself and I think the worst part is when your on the heavier side is that it's easyer to lose weight it's just the mentality that messes you up and you fall back to what makes you feel happy again I can only hope the best for these people and I do hope they get some help that they need because in truth the biggest lie we tell ourselves is "we can stop whenever we want"
I completely agree with you. I too am slightly overweight, and it’s killing me inside. Everyday I have to choose between what makes me happy for the moment and what will make me happy in the long run. But temporarily happiness almost always wins. I wish I could change.
I just gotta say I love intelligent Oompy moments. I could totally listen to Oompy's full nightshade potato lesson. But I also love Tara just gradually turning the volume down and cutting to when he's back in tlc mode
I'm a viewer of size, my biggest was 420 (aaaahaaahaa) but no like it was bad fr. i have been on a weight loss journey for about a year now and I'm now 288! just checked in with my doc today cuz I'm setting up with some medical stuff and honestly its so weird being the same person in what feels like a different but... the same body? i feel like I'm still bigger 24/7 and act like it so when i walk in a small space i couldn't before i get teared up hella cuz the only reason i started losing the weight was because i had a medical scare back three years ago and I wanted to turn everything around. All i want is to be healthy if i physically and mentally could be healthy as my previous weight i don't think i would have ever wanted to change but I'm glad where i am now. Anyone else who struggles just know you got this sweetiepie! Time and patients will always serve you in the long run
Seeing Kelly's story of eating nothing but her fav food after having a bad experience eating something she disliked as a child really concerns me. My little cousin has only about 5 foods she'll eat, most of which are unhealthy, because she has sensory issues (autistic). If she even sees a "new" food on her plate, she freaks. I'm yet to meet another child who doesn't just not like, but *hates* pizza and birthday cake. The thing is, her parents totally pander to it and don't offer her new foods because they "just know she won't eat it," thus reinforcing her behavior. I get that it's frustrating, but they haven't had her try a "new" food in longer than I can remember. I share her dx of autism, so I understand sensory issues surrounding food and how it goes further than just being a picky eater, but it's still scary to think she's going to grow up into a 30-year-old woman who only eats like 3 bites of cheese and chocolate in a day and needs to drink Ensure to keep her weight up if she either doesn't wake up one day and her sensory issues magically be gone or her parents start taking it more seriously.
Your cousin’s parents should try to find foods that have similar texture and taste to the foods she only eats. Because it’s okay to have safe foods, but eating the same foods and only those foods (depending on what they are) can be dangerous. I have a lot of friends who are on the spectrum and they have sensory issues.
I absolutely despise pizza and some kinds of cake, and I don’t know why everyone else in my family likes pizza and cake but I’m the only one who will just not eat pizza at all
Just to maybe make you feel a bit better, I know a lot of other autistic people who had really restricted diets as kids and have greatly expanded them on their own as adults. It's actually pretty common. So there's hope, even with the parents choosing not to push it. In fact, with autism, I'd probably even say they're doing the right thing for now. A lot of us will fight even harder against what people try to push on us
Oof, I'm autistic with sensory issues too. Not sure if this helps, but my mom would just come up to me with food I didn't like and say, "Please try this, and if you don't like it, then we'll try again when you're ready" and like 80% of the time it worked. Or she cooked something healthy into my favorite food. It introduced me to a lot of fruits and veggies and other foods I would avoid. It can be hard growing up on the spectrum with family that doesn't understand but I really wish you and your cousin the best :)
I saw that guy who role plays as an adult baby before. In the video, he said that he does this because it’s his way of coping with the world and his own problems and being an adult baby gave him a feeling of comfort and safety. I know Caleb said he thinks it’s weird, but I think it’s really interesting how certain people have developed these unique coping mechanisms.
Meanwhile, mine is to bask in my guest bed full of stuffed animals. I'm an adult. But nothing feels better. I'd rather have an animal but this will do for now.
At six years old, I stopped eating everything except french fries, buttered noodles, and a few other ''safe'' foods. My parents were told by several doctors that it was just fussy eating and that I would grow out of it. Fast forward to twenty-one and I still eat the same way (with some improvement). I was recently diagnosed as autistic and am coming to terms with what that means for me. It is strange, but it isn't something that I chose and I'm working on changing for the better.
I myself have picky habits. Not like yours but I don't like many meats other than chicken. I don't like uncooked vegetables, with the exception of the radish. I don't like cooked fruits ad I don't like fish. My family has a history of autism and ADHD, I'm only diagnosed with adhd though.
Dude, I've only just been told by my own mother a few days ago that I may have autism and it makes a lot of sense when thought about. I eat things similar to that even today, and I'm an 18yo. I'm already diagnosed with ADHD. Buttered noodles, chicken fries, pork roast, and a limited few other meals are the only things I really can eat without feeling forced. I literally weight 140lbs at 5'7-8. I know that I need to get myself to eat things like pizza and fish but I just. Cannot fathom how others eat it on a normal basis all because of the sensory issues that come with my neurodivergency. I'm really just happy there's others out there that feel the same ;;;
@@kitbitz9795 I tried making other things look like the things I like, the texture is the main thing I struggle with so I would cut everything into small pieces and add food coloring if needed To other people I tried to explain it like that: imagine someone is putting a bug on your plate, why won't you eat it? In some countries they do eat them, why won't you? Then they explain that the bug is gross, and I tell them "that's how I see some foods" It's the easiest way to illustrate, that the mental block
@@ant9347 maybe I could try that out sometime!! I've been working on texture foods I can't handle but sometimes it's just super hard to make myself eat it even then. But I'm happy for any ideas like that one >:D!!!
I'm a pretty big guy, I struggle with keeping my weight down, I'm 6'2 and weigh over 300lbs, so I'm quite large and watching these videos really does motivate me and makes me more comfortable, Thank you.
Used to be 280-300 lbs and only 5'7, and I'm now officially 199 lbs. Watching content like this has genuinely been a great help in my journey or whatever you wanna call it. If you want to lose weight, go for it man. I cannot describe the way my weight lose had changed my life for the better. The most important thing is to come at it with a mindset of love for your body and respect for your quality of life. You got this!
Oompa, seriously, you’ve kinda helped me control how much I eat and when. I am not huge but I definitely have some weight to lose and places to tone. But you’ve helped me have a healthier mindset about my weight. Thank you.
Tara! @2:46, woman... how _did_ you create _such,_ a masterpiece? Whatever he pays you, _clearly_ it's not enough. You are pure & absolute genius wrapped in a gorgeous exterior. Thank you for sharing your crazy creative talents with us. We _truly_ do not deserve you.💕🤗 BTW, we _need_ that image, in at the very least, stickers that we can purchase. PLEASE??
My weird obsession food wise is mini cucumbers, I had an eating disorder, and one of my few safe foods are mini cucumbers, I understand where Kelly with the cheese potatoes is coming from
Exactly, i struggled so bad for years with my ED and it does flare up every so often and affects my eating and i can 100% see where Kelly is coming from Like one of my safe foods was actual baby food, it was random
@THE GREAT CORNHOLIO Define "everyday." Cause the correct response would be "Yeah you can, just as long as you balance your diet" (since you eat thrice-a-day).
3:20 as someone neurodivergent (autism + adhd) i struggle with extreme executive dysfunction where i can hardly bring myself to shower regularly. all throughout high school, i showered once a week and i hated it. i wasn't being lazy :( just undiagnosed, unmedicated and suffering :D i do a lot better now and just showered yesterday for no other reason than to be clean :)
For the cheese and potatoes woman, i'm really glad she was open to actually trying to overcome it, unlike others on TLC with unhealthy eating habits, i hope shes doing well
I had a first grade student 10 years ago that would only eat mashed potatoes, French fries, and mesquite barbecue potato chips. He was also obsessed with dogs so much to the point that he wanted to eat like one down on the floor with his plate. The year before when he was in kindergarten he would circle his mat like a dog before he laid down and curled into himself like a puppy to take a nap. He would also walk on all fours in the line of students.
I remember someone asked what my fav vegetable was so I said “potato’s” and I remember they were like “um that’s not a vegetable because it’s not green” and watching Oompa explain potato’s in such a way makes me laugh , thanks Oompa you make my day!
It's like Vege Chips, last time I checked Potato Crisps were Vege Chips too, to make matters worse those Vege Chips are worse for you then Smith's Crisps or something.
It’s time to be the most hated man on RU-vid I am about to make a dark joke that probably shouldn’t be made read more if you dare… 15:45 ha ha ha she said rob🤣
The biggest thing I’ve found when it comes to fat loss (from a bodybuilding perspective) is that the most important step is the first one and that the first step isn’t “eating less” it’s eating different and substituting foods. Like for instance I might feel like some cake but I’ll eat some fruit Instead. No it’s not the same but my brain told me to eat sugar and fruit is high in healthy natural sugar so my brain is satisfied and 80 calories of cake is like a palmful or less but 80 calories of a mango is a whole entire mango (or a punnet and a half of strawberries)
I feel like people mostly focus on the food and diet part of the struggle. Not the underlying mental issue that is causing the fixation on food. Diets usually fail. The whole lifestyle has to change. Including an understanding of lingering trauma.
@@camimi2226 My channel uses cool challenges that roast cringe comments. Ex: Alright campers, today's challenge is: Not being cringe. Seems like Camimi already lost the challenge.
The scariest part is that at 6:47, I couldn't tell if I was disassociating or if the vid was blurring cause of the edits. 🤣 (Also, thank you for the AVX snap to bring me back.)
I have autism and yes I struggled with food, like her, but maybe not as severe/obsessive. I used to eat peanut butter sandwiches only, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My parents were determined to help me be more accepting of change before I went to college onwards. They started by switching my (white) bread to other shapes/types of bread LOL, then eventually to wheat bread... Then eventually got me used to different brands of peanut butter until I learned to accept other spreads too. Eventually, I learned to eat other food. :) I struggle with my autism especially now while working as a lawyer and also teaching law subjects. My parents training me to get over my stubbornness to accept change really helped a lot, because there were so much more sh*t I had to deal with growing up. Such a blessing to have parents who are as patient as them. Also, I heard there are people with hyper sensitive taste buds? Perhaps she may be like that too, so other foods just taste appalling to her.
Veggies are awesome I wish I could eat more but the cost of food is fairly high. Every veggie can be versatility made. You can steam brusslesprouts and pour white vinegar, you could make them baked with cheese and bacon, or throw them in to some dishes while cooking and it's almost like cabbage
I have “food related OCD” and I get into these strange food obsessions and get ill if I eat other things, but my obsession seems to change every couple months. It’s super embarrassing and my obsession makes it difficult for me to stay fit because I can’t choose what I get obsessed with. Currently it’s ice cream and I have to seriously restrict myself. I feel like others think I’m spoiled or fickle but I genuinely can’t help it. There’s a lot of shame asking for a specific food every day and others definitely judge you.
I weighed in at 290lbs a month ago and this morning I’m at 250! I think a lot of the time the main thing with losing weight is motivation and facing your fears. This is your friendly reminder anything is possible and that even if you think no one else does I care about and love you 💕
Dr now is the Gordon Ramsay of bariatric surgeons. Don’t go to him for help unless and until you are serious.. I also think more psychological evaluation should be done because of people like LB and Destinee (RIP)
