I think he has had a hair transplant and dyes his hair. His sense of humour is great. Best wishes from Sweden. 🇸🇪

He's a reptilian shape-shifter

He will be 80 in Oct

@@secretsauce4530 IKR, Seems like he isn't showing any signs of retiring any time soon and he's helping a lot of people who truly want help.

I eat most times a half of a banana with some peanut butter on it. That’s it

@@cjhoward409or just coffee😂🎉

They eat as if they're fueling up for a long day when really they sit and do nothing. I have never seen a cut of ham that big even for thanksgiving dinner

Welcome to Murica

I jusy had a large coffe and a bowl of cream of rice and I'm about to go workout lol.

She needs to take responsibility for what SHE has done to herself. No one is forcing her to over eat

Did you see two people are immediately giving her 3 huge plates of food for breakfast? Nobody is saying she isn't responsible but everyone in that family is. You can't say that enabler is not responsible also cuz if people said no when someone says do this for me cuz I want to there would be less s*it happening in this world... Be strong people.

They belong in jail for bringing her so much food

@@johnwhatever8000 they didn't force her to over eat

Ah okay. So that makes it all okay. The woman can’t move and they bring her mountain of food but they have no cause. You sound like the kind of person that abuses through neglect

You have a family of 10?

@@gbarbecue2399 I actually have 10 Grand Babies and 1 on the way! 😃 Plus 5 Grown children between my husband and I. So yeah, I got a family of 10+. 😁

I would eat that in an entire week of breakfast.

She didn’t lie about her breakfast. But she lied about 2 months she was supposed to lose weight.

Addiction is hard. I am an addict of a different sort. I am in recovery. Mine was drugs/alcohol. My recovery is going strong since October of2000. I have sympathy for these ppl.

@@headishome8452everyone should have sympathy for them . And realize it’s not easy because it is an ADDICTION ! So

How sad to regress back to a baby where you cannot do anything for yourself like cooking, bathing, caring for children, and all basic functioning. So many enablers.@@Skzcore367

& didn’t make a ton of excuses as to why she eats like she does

He's learning what not to do

she totally was in her own world and her kid didn't exist

For real I was thinking who eats before their children..them plates full of food was just too much

There is no way she could put sheets on her bed. 😢

plus since he slept in his clothes he's all ready to go

I know. I cant stand that.

And houses r filthy probly smell like ass

Stop💀

LMAO

I laughed seeing this comment 💀😂

@@karenpotter3562in a smaller quantity the breakfast isn’t bad

True!!!

He's so good at seeing through it though and getting to the root causes.

He already knows every excuse in the book.

His patience is unmatched

He has heard it all I'm sure

Well, federal foodstamps (ebt) is $143 per person per month. If her mom, step dad her and her son all get that - and it is super easy to qualify - there you have $660 per month in addition to whatever extra her parents earn, plus her supplemental benefits payments (ssi disabilty payments eg). Money usually isnt lacking.

Two best questions.

you get disability if you are super morbidly obese and care givers and food stamps and housing etc....

Taxpayers.

😂😂😂

My thoughts exactly. It seems being morbidly gigantic and living like a pig go hand in hand.

I guess cleaning and tidying up are difficult when you're that fat. But for what most of these people spend on fast food, you could hire a cleaner from time to time.

Also no proper dining table. No wonder you'd be inclined to snack on nuggets and fries on the couch when there's no place to set up an actual meal.

And no sheets on the mattress! Just a mattress with blankets that’s weird.

Imagine the smell

People CHOOSE to overeat because they feel sorry for themselves

@@swolfe9668 People CHOOSE to undereat because they feel sorry for themselves

That's the point of addiction-you no longer have a choice@@swolfe9668

​@mizfeng1442 If you are referring to Anorexia Nervosa, it is a LOT more complicated than that. It usually has a loss of sense of control at the core, & controlling their eating gives a sense of control. It also involves serious phobias (eg some sufferers become afraid of breathing in the smell of food or drinking water). Eating disorders are very difficult to overcome - sometimes in the effort to overcome it & change behaviours, it morphs into a different eating disorder. All eating disorders are serious, & none are due to the person feeling sorry for themselves.

​​@@swolfe9668just because someone feels sorry for themselves doesn't mean their mental illness is caused by that. In fact, eating disorders often develop because the person is trying to *not* feel their emotions. Eating disorders are very complicated & insidious. They are far more than the behaviours & the weight/visible symptoms. A friend of mine came close to dying from Anorexia Nervosa, & yet now is morbidly obese. There are so many layers to eating disorders - much harder to overcome than other addictions, since food cannot be avoided entirely.

It seems like a lot of the people on these shows absolutely have no clue about what reasonable portions are and what actual weight loss should feel like. As you know from your successful diet and long-term weight maintenance, you kind of have to shock your system into realizing that hunger is a good thing and the amount of fuel you really need to get through a day is tiny compared to what an obese person eats. These people seem dumbfounded at their lack of progress and it's frustrating to watch!

@@JSaveK I agree with you completely. My mother and grandmother were old fashioned and always told us to finish our plate and always served way too much food. So that was a big thing I had to learn.

Wow. I hope someone can be inspired by your achievement. I’m not particularly overweight; but you inspire me. I can do better in other ways.

@@Hownow4 thank you! ☺

They could stop giving her large portions but they won’t change anything because she can just order herself food. Never heard of DoorDash,UbeEats or Instacart before?

That breakfast is so disgusting portions are for my 6 people.

it is not only the quantity, but how everything is carbs, sugar, fats and processed meats... no vegetables, no fruits, no yoghurt, nothing fresh.

but can she feed herself... in lies the problem... laziness

Victim mindset, it will never help. Look at third world countries, they go through the most trauma but you don't see them fat and addicted to food. The quicker one stops making excuses the faster they'll gain control of their life.

Mexico isn't quite 3rd world and they are fatter than we are. The Philippines is pretty bad too. But yea if you are in a situation where you struggle not to starve you aren't likely to develop a food addiction

@@samik3184 actually morbid obesity is a newer trend in many countries, even in rural areas of places like china/mexico/guam/and a ton of other places. granted, being morbidley obese isn't as bad as starving to death, but it ain't a whole lot better.

​@@samik3184some people become obese, some kill themselves, some become drug addict or alcoholic. Some people just disconnects or have other mental disabilities. Just because they are not obese and you can't see with your eyes what their struggle is, unlike obesity, it doesn't mean they are "strong" and "healthy". Doesn't kill you to try to understand a little how a person can become like this, even if they are at fault too

​@@Eric-pn9mlThe Philippines and like other Asian countries, our family will say nasty things straight to our faces. To some, words of shaming might hurt but it is tough love. Our food is controlled. We grew up fine and will not reach this far in weight

Whiners..... everyone has bad things happen to them but they do eat themselves to the verge of death.

I don’t like to judge, unless the people are actually being rude or something because you never know what’s going on/happened in someone’s life. It is an addiction. They can understand that what they’re doing is unhealthy, and want to change it, but that doesn’t mean it’s gonna be easy. They’re likely gonna have slip ups. On days when life gets hard, food is their comfort, so that’s what they want on those days, even if they also want to stop. If you don’t understand it, think of it like a toxic partner: you want to leave because you know the relationship is toxic and unhealthy for you so you want to leave, but at the same time you do still live them and they’re your comfort so it’s harder to leave than people from the outside think, because they don’t know what your connections/struggles are like.

It sIays me that they can say with total seriousness, idk why I didn't lose weight with how hard I have been working. ObviousIy that's a bald faced Iie. 😂 It doesn't matter if you change to healthy foods, and then still eat enough to feed a barn full. Talk about being deIusionaI.

@@metalmamasue3680most of these people have grown up from kids in this situation! They have no idea what healthy normal portions are or appropriate foods! Food companies use all kinds of diet jargon on their packaging and advertising … these people are clueless! And they’ve never done before so of course it’s hard! I think these people need to attend classes from day 1 to learn this stuff! If they are just given a written diet and send home … they don’t know any different! If they cut down fast food meals to 1 a day instead of 3 or 4 they think that is great! They have no clue how many calories are in 1 meal, or what they consume as 1 meal!

I mean addiction can be hard to break

Exactly ! I would Ieave the house and let them have a tantrum before I would give in and feed my own chiId to 💀 I do feeI for them and whatever trauma made them start eating themseIves to being at death's doorstep, but especially when you have kids you have to try to break the cycle and get to the root of your issues. I know it has to be hard when you need food to live, to control your eating. It's like telling a drug addict they can only have a little. I hope they get the help they need to save their own lives.

Lmao they would have an atitude all day

usually it's parents who just want their kid to keep quite and not put up a fight. they want them to be submissive, so they don't have to put up with teenage drama. Happens all the time.

@@D-nice1976 I swear 🤣

It's much harder when there's multiple enablers. When I was living with my grandparents, my grandma was very overweight and had uncontrolled diabetes. When I refused to bring her unhealthy foods or buy snacks she would get irritable and so the other family members would get mad at me. If I ever challenged what people were giving her or if I asked her to reconsider eating something and try a healthier option everyone would get mad at me and it strained my relationship with my family so much I eventually gave up trying and would just hand her the garbage she wanted until I stopped helping out and moved out to finish school. Sometimes it did seem like my grandma wanted to change (or maybe she was just trying to placate me) but when other people involved have no tolerance for the stress that change causes, all they want to do is placate the person they're enabling and keep the status quo so they don't have to deal with the strain on their relationships. My grandpa thinks she would divorce him if he didn't enable her bad habits and this was too devastating for him to deal with, so all the bad habits stay. Change is hard and the human brain would usually rather creep towards a horrible outcome while wading through pain when each actual step is not very painful, than take a few excruciating steps towards a painless and better future. Our brain likes habits. Our brain like things that dull the stress immediately. It takes a lot to accept discomfort for the distant promise of long-term comfort.

I've thought the same thing.

Really guys these women have enough to overcome without making disparaging remarks.

disability and food stamps. we the taxpayers pick up the tab

A lot of the time these ppl get food stamps and disability, AND there is someone in the household who holds an actual job, like a relative or spouse. Btw all that they can afford it

I've always wondered where the $$ comes from. They don't work so must survive on Social Security, food stamps, what their enablers give them, etc.

dude, no kidding. like, just one plate could feed me for a few days at least

I think they care a lot, they're just easily manipulated and don't know what to do. You're underestimating how addicts play the people around them and how hard addiction is. If someone has anorexia would you blame the parents for not forcing food on them. The family can't help, only them and professional help can

@@AM-dk5ym Thanks for that reply - it's the addiction that's the problem.

@@Lilliboo962 Yes exactly. it's the same with any addiction, drugs etc. I have never been in this situation with addiction but I wouldn't wish it on anyone's family, from what I've witnessed online it's horrible. And nobody's fault.

right! it’s insane

People don’t want to admit that they need therapy.

The good ol “Suck it up” mindset the elderly have.

Before my husband was approved for his barbaric surgery he had to be evaluated by several types of doctors...a psychiatric evaluation was 1st step. The process has evolved over the years and every doctor has almost the same plan with a few tweaks here and there.

He offers them therapy

​@@ericrivera8410he didn't early on. That was finally incorporated as part of his protocol.

The surgery helps them not have the cravings.

I know two people that have had the surgery and lost a lot of weight in the beginning but a couple of years later they are both back to their original weight or more. So yes it has to be a lifestyle change, they need to put less into their mouth.

@@Nannajo of course it does. But the operations aids in the life style change because it helps combat the addiction to food because they won't have the same desire to eat.

@mariegro09 The desire is still there unless they want to change their eating habits, they will find a way to eat high calorie food.

@ Ruth, TBH that's like saying "rehab can't save an alcoholic's life, because they already know they drink too much!" LOL.

I don't understand why Dr. Nowzaradan doesn't send them to therapy right away. He knows their eating is from trauma.

And shame on both parents for being enablers.

FREE WILL , whence is it given, whence does it end? GOD created us 1stly in SPIRIT then formed our flesh in our mothers wombs. Free will starts on the day you born here and ends on the day you depart from here. it is not given nor found earlier, as earlier you didn`t exist. earth is testing ground, as it has became lucifers kingdom. testing ground for us, to show GOD whom amongst us shall be deceived by lucifer. All the answers are pretty clear ones - aren´t these? - MANY are deceived and FEW are not. None of us can`t drag free will beyond humans earthly life, as it is not earlier nor after found nor given. Jeremiah 1:5 KJV Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. FREE WILL is given for the choices which are here on earth to make. Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Since making choices and being deceived takes place here on earth, free will does not go beyond human earthly lives.

Her children will all be obese her son already is so is her mother god knows how much they spend on food must be getting money from somewhere America got a big problem with over weight people and only going to get worse

A lot of them were. There was a woman on this show who came from Haiti she was 115 pounds when she arrived in the US and died at over 700 pounds. She said the weight gain came from having kids of course and having so much access to lots of different food which she didn’t have in Haiti and that resulted in her packing on the pounds.

This sounds extraordinarily privileged and sheltered. I shared a room with my brother until he moved out. Not everybody can afford a home where every occupant has their own room.

​@@NJLevin your case if there wasn't enough money that makes sense when I was a little girl I had to sleep on the couch because we didn't have enough money however this woman spends thousands and thousands of dollars stuffing her face with food that's killing her while the child has no room that's neglect and if you don't believe that there's something wrong with you

Everyone having a private bedroom is a very recent and very Western standard. By this definition most kids in the world are being neglected.

Looked like her daughter slept beside her, but they didn't show it.

​@@susanlett9632You have a very privileged life if this is horrific neglect to you.

I did the same and I’ve lost like 45lbs 😂

Fr bro they need to STOP ✋

If you watch her whole episodes; sadly doesn't lose the weight she needs, and doesn't get the surgery. I'm hoping she's doing better today and actually lost more weight off the show

Did you see the size of her daughter? I'd want help for her before the child is like mom.

I think they give them a camera to keep a video journal during the process.

It's staged, of course.

She had already her hair done!

I literally asked the same thing just now🤦😂

Wow do people have any common sense in these comments ...yes the camera crew sleeps there 🤦

No they aren't, SHE is killing herself

She’s killing herself. Nobody is forcing her to eat all of that so stop

He might have already ate prior to her being filmed. Y’all love jumping to conclusions

And the cost of the food would surely let them have better accommodation

😢😢

😂😂😂😂

Lol

😆😆 God help me, I hope I never end up in room 5.

i have dr now’s picture on my fridge for when i’m tempted to eat at night

bc that’s her job 😅

If it's just like drug addiction then can you explain to me why alcoholics and druggies can't get free housing, EBT and a free place to live??

I might add, excuses don't work! If you are truly determined to get the weight off , you will. You're a very pretty young woman.Do this for you!!🙏🙏

​@@kathydishner7691excuses are different than explanations.

Prayers are the moat useless waste of time

Hm... nah. I'm gonna judge.

Weakness causes addiction, the only solution is to reject weakness

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

U can't do it for anyone else but yourself she has to really want to lose the weight becoz she wants it bad otherwise she'll never lose it,doing sumthing for someone else other than yourself like losing all that weight never works.

Look up Jamie French and her take on the camera 📸 ppl on 600 lb life. You’ll be peeing your pants 👖 I promise!!!! We all need to laugh.

They always do that!

It’s so much easier to get this big than we think. Once food becomes the only thing that makes u happy it’s a short road to 600 lbs. everyone wants to be happy

@@angelinealcindor-wb6dw Yeh but imagine being in bed and waking up seeing the light from the window next to you, and you can’t go outside, if that’s not sad enough, say your asleep for 20 years and still live the same way in the same bed

Serious emotional and mental problems

😂😂😂😂facts

I think worse. And usually the enablers are overweight as well, although some are not.
