Generation XXL | Our America with Lisa Ling | Full Episode | OWN 

Yeah Depressing world😪

This happens a lot sadly

Thats normal with women that have been assaulted we try to make ourselves ugly. I stopped wearing makeup and haven't worn any sense and that was 24 years ago

Aww 😭😭

Omg tho

Well obviously otherwise she would die

Yes first step awsome😊

@@vilmahernandez215 nope because you can be doing it for others ppl and finally shed 50 pounds but be completely miserable if that's not what made you happy,yes I know what I'm talking about I know.what it feels like so pleas stop saying mean things like that.

@@vilmahernandez215 duhhh but as a child she knows it but doesn’t completely understand that part of it. Her human instincts are hinting to her that she knows she needs to lose weight

Brianna is such a sweet, beautiful girl, I hope she can get to a healthy weight!♥️ I've been obese myself and it's a difficult journey to lose weight, but I'm so grateful she wants to lose it for herself, not anyone else.

How is she doing?

She was probably sweet because of all the candy she ate

@@Enoch-nn1idthat’s how she got so sweet 😂

This comment makes me really sad. I want to lose weight but a diet change is really hard. I

So true

@@sweetzs100 i want to share whats helping me. What is helping me is choosing fruit over processed sweets, and adding in more vegetables and healthy meats and such. Going from eating 100% garbage to 100% healthy os extremely hard. If you can(and you want to, of course), try adding in healthy food and eating those first. Just my 2 cents. Much love, its hard but well worth it

Absolutely correct 🙌🏾💯when people ask me to help them with weight loss I tell them they have to change their diet before anything else

@@sweetzs100 you’ve got this💕💯. Some simple changes you can start making is drink a gallon of water a day, incorporate one green vegetable into each of your meals, limit snacking and if you have to snack make sure it’s a fruit, and practice portion control as well as eating within a calorie deficit

Facts! I’m from California so growing up I never really heard anything bad about my body. But when I traveled to the south, I was attacked relentlessly for being skinny. It’s almost like this type of lifestyle is praised smh Nonetheless, I hope all of these kids and their families are doing well.

@@nonchalantnell It is praised, I was a chubby kid growing up so when I went to go visit my aunts in Atlanta, they were working on fixing my second plate while me finishing my first one and then would send me back home with ziploc bag filled with homemade biscuits.

@@mariahyohannes Wow 😳

Somebody said it! I thought I was the only one! I have mentioned this in a few groups before and they got heated! They said I was "fat shaming" smh

@Rawhealthbitch that's good to know because my pcp told my I am prebiabetic but the nutrition guides they provide tell you the DON'TS not what you should eat. But you're right RU-vid was beneficial in helping me with other food options because i like to switch it up even though I know what I need to eat I just needed an expanded menu and meal prep.

She's as big as she was, unfortunately

@@zuzu6864 How do you know? I've been searching for an update.

Balloon releases are so bad for the animals. They find dead animals with balloons wrapped around them, in their stomach, etc. There are better ways to show symbolic weight loss, ways that don’t cause death.

Yeah, I have trouble with that whole "He's my baby!" excuse. No, Mom, he WAS your baby. He is now your youngest child.

She shouldnt be a mom. Shes too soft

Right , how about she feeds him an apple 🍎

Bailey.... either way they dead. This world needs a Re-Think.... Not a reset.

Or some don't eat at all ! It's sad

The dichotomy is astonishing

Welcome to earth. The planet is plenty for all of us, we are just disorganized, greedy and lazy to make a difference in the world.

Have they checked his thyroid, glucose tolerance test...

Yes...bc "poor" people get free money from the government. In turn they go out and buy $400 worth of junk food. If people had to work for their own food, they might make better decisians. End food stamps and we will dramatically reduce obesity

@@Rachel......... Working poor people pay taxes, too. Cheaper foods are often the most unhealthy ones.

@@ethanlee6077 so what if they pay taxes? They are paying taxes on what they got for free lol. And no, cheapest food isnt unhealthy. Junk food is expensive, but its *convenient*.

@@Rachel......... no, that's not what I mean. They don't pay taxes on food stamps... not sure how you didn't understand that, but I mean that they work, and they pay income taxes. Just like you.

@@ethanlee6077 @Ethan Lee some government assistance is taxable, but ya maybe not snap. And lol ya if people on welfare have a job they may pay some taxes but many do not have a job. I knew a guy who said "I wont accept a job that pays less than 250 a week bc that's what I get from unemployment." 🙄 I've seen plenty of people saying "Why should I get a job when I get money from the government." Lol. And the point was not discussing food stamps but how government assistance causes obesity.

Someone said once that if your kids don't both love and hate you, you're not doing it right. They love you for caring about them, they hate you for being firm and teaching them right from wrong. You're not a friend, you're a parent.

@@warthog473 100%

Mothers go through a lot girl

Exactly he is straight manipulating like any other little kid but mom can control this totally. This sad 🤦🏽‍♀️

@@namhladlomo7456 lol right smh

Kids are the master manipulators. We parents sometimes are blind to that until someone else tells us

I can't believe she said because he is her son that means she don't care about his life what a mother. Stop giving him extra food if u really love him.

And food will end up being his coping mechanism when he is happy, sad, frustrated, lonely or anxious. Then he will be on my 600lb life at age 17. I agree with you, let him cry now not later..

I agree. Let him cry! He'll be fine. It isn't hunger. He is behaving like most 4 year-olds do. When he was begging for the candy and told him no because he was over 100lbs that didn't affect him. He doesn't grasp that number and information at his age. And he's FOUR! It isn't his responsibility.

yes i think the mom has some internal issues herself she needs to work on. that's why she can't take it and keeps giving him his way

When you’re a single mom it’s hard. She’s probably so stressed. But your right, let him cry it out.

Sorry but im laughing at you 🤷😅

I hope she is doing ok

She’s a beautiful young lady. I pray she meets her goals and becomes healthy and in that she’ll be happy ❤️

Yes, so true. I don’t use grease/pork in my greens anymore and they actually taste better. I just stopped using so much butter, sugar and started baking instead of frying. I lost a lot of weight just doing that and cutting out sweet drinks.

They also have less access to gym and nutritionists.

I grew up in the hood. I mean the hood. We ate Ramen noodles and drank Kool aid, most of the time no sugar. A treat was McDonald's. BUT we were poor so all the activities and stuff that cost money we couldn't do so we sat around alot. It wasn't safe to go too far from the house so we could only walk so far. At the bodega for $1 you got 2 small bags of chips, 2 of those hug drink barrels, and some hershey kisses. There was no healthy choices. So to your comment that is absolutely true. 💯

You don't need to go to a gym. Walking is a great exercise. I don't find that junk food is any cheaper than fresh fruits and vegetables. I think it's just more convenient.

@@jc-ol4cbkoolaid IS sugar. Ramen is loaded with sugar. It’s very sad that lower income people are not able to access proper food.

Rice and beans are not expensive and are very nutritious

Forcing is not a good technique, however my own anecdote is... when I didn't eat something on my plate my mother didn't fuss or say anything. She put the plate aside. Then when I got hungry again, she would present the same plate and said i won't be getting anything else until I finished what was on the plate. So thanks to her patience, I don't have any food problems, I can eat practically anything put in front of me. My sister was more difficult, but my mother put it also into perspective for us. She took us to homeless shelters showing us to be grateful for what we were given because many have much less...

@@funkyfiss I just eat everything my mom makes because it’s good to me

What if it’s veggies?

meanwhile, in asia...when we dont get to finish food, or leave some grain of rice, :') *prays*

That’s how I started gain weight when you live in a Hispanic household your grandparents feed u lot when ur skinny thts when I started gain weight I was force

Exactly.. She's abusing him... Omg...

So true. He’s just whining.

Exactly! He knows what to do to get her to give him food. It's no different than those 600-lb people who can't get out of bed, yet their screaming has their enablers bringing them massive amounts of food.

Time stamp?

hes a baby.. babies whine.

Don’t feel bad for her I feel bad for him, she loves him if she loved him more she wouldn’t feed him so much so it has nothing to do with that she just hast to learn to be stronger than she is, this started way way years ago like when the child was six months this didn’t happen overnight and if she would’ve stopped it right away she wouldn’t be where she is today What in the world did she have him drinking in that lunch there? That should be water

No she has not tryed. The kid is 100 pound 🙄

@@sisselevensen8994 exactly

I think she is a very loving mother they do say your last child you can give in more to. Like she said that is her baby he is her last one. So if he crys and wants his way its easy to give in to him she is trying to keep him her baby for as long as she can. I was the baby of my family and when i came along my mom was tired I did not walk till i was 2 years old everyone carried me. My mom let it slide I was her last baby to walk talk. Sometimes kids can drive you crazy with the crying and having a fit. And she is a busy mom its easy to say yes

@@Jane5720 She truly is loving him “to death”

But she didn't and is a lot larger now sadly.

My nephew is 4 and is so tiny. I never would have thought that kid was 4. Never seen a 4 year old look like a 10 year old.

@Alexia Seton thank you!

She's gotten bigger. I follow her on Instagram, but it seems like she deleted all of her posts and went private as of recently (or a while, idk). I've been following her on Wattpad for quite a while as well.

Yeah. And her other 3 kids knew that they were last on her list of importance. You could see it in their eyes; they knew that they were invisible. But they are better off. Extra food does not equal love. Extra food equals fat. I had a weight problem growing up. I know how both sides feel.

That’s a girl

best sole, amazing feet

Father should’ve loved her enough for her to not weigh 300 lbs at the age of 13.

When he was shoveling down her portion of feed, he probably felt better.

bull hocky...they get a lot in food stamps but the parents just buy chips, soda soda, mac n cheese and icecream...I see it all of the time. I used to help run a food program with as much healthy food as we could...people will still ask...wheres the chips? I was hoping for coke! Do you have cake? I hope this little girl will take control of her own eating at some point and have a blessed life...her chances are not good if all of the folk around her are obese

Poor girl xx it’s so hard but she really needs to loose some weight poor thing it’s so difficult

Mom is not taking it seriously, it's on her to provide healthy options, she's buying and bringing it home.

if he loved her that much he would try to lose weight to live longer for the kids. He would also be strict with that gurl

@@murtithinker7660 I agree. Being healthy is the most important.

I still want to scold the bully!

Uh honey u need glasses. She's that unhealthy she's going to kill herself, nothing beautiful bout that

Her skin is bad, she can't walk or talk she's so overweight. She morbidly obese

Isnt that why she’s at the doctors for him? So he can receive help to decrease his weight😒

I though you were Hermione lol 😂

Correct. Her reward circuits are wired for food. Just like addicts are for drugs, cigarettes alcohol etc.. it has to be re-wired. Not easy. The scare stories won't help. Bariatric surgery should be considered.

And her herself. She buys that stuff.

Yo wtf!! That 4 year old child is 100 pounds, Google tells me that's 45 kilograms.. Wtf? I am a 23 year old female that weighs 50kg I cannot compute

Not everyone has the money to pay for healthy food, the cheap food is the unhealthy foods. You don’t realize some people’s situation when it comes to money

@@stary3136 If they would just cut down the portion sizes to half, to normal sizes, they would cut their food budget in half. Look at the sheer _amount_ of food they buy. They buy a ton of cheap food, instead of just buying less food, and thinks they save money... Drinking water from the tap instead of buying soda or juice saves you some money. Baking your own bread, with rye instead of sugar and wheat. If you live in a rural area, and not in an apartment, there is probably some plot of land by your house where you can grow some veggies. Cutting out thing that aren´t really food, like chips, candy, cake, chocolate, ice cream etc also saves you a lot of money. Taking the bike or walk instead of taking the car everywhere, would save a lot of money spent on gas. I think the "healthy food is expensive" is a convenient excuse a lot of people use to eat a triple amount of cheap foods instead.

also, saying no to your child can show love a lot of the time. especially when it comes to things like that because if you say no, you’re improving their well-being. i’d call that an act of love

101 pounds that’s more than ME 😢

Yes telling them no is like teaching them boundaries and self control

Exactly! And at 4 years old...my goodness, he can’t even reach the cabinets!

^^^^ you neva said it best @Terrance 💯

Tatum Soto true and simple, the food culture starts with parents. If parents give bad food to their kids, it’s a form of child abuse, because they are setting kids for failure in the society and life.

Sad too because most cant afford healthier lifestyles; even with food stamps most families don’t know how to eat healthy:(

@@blueyellow3621 ,

Pathological parenting. Obesity isn't even the problem anymore...these same kids spend 12 hours a day on screens and will be a taxpayer burden for their diagnosis of digital dementia in less than a year. Sad, but when the schools close down they will have no chance/low chance of living a decent life.

True- i am very mildly overweight not too severely but i felt bad for these kids, i am in cali and they had healthy food and its the second richest state in the US but Arkansas or Mississippi are much poorer than cali or new york, thats why many poor families had to buy very little healthy food, and buy alot of junk food to feed they’re kids, causing them to be overweight but in rich states like NYC or Cali the increasing of inactivity caused us to get fatter 30 years later

Healthy eating begins by cutting out sugar. Specifically fructose from your diet. Take it on a very very limited scale or completely cut it out. A lot of the low fat food is crammed with sugar to make it taste better.But diet is also affected by social conditions almost all processed food contain fructose and if a family is unable to afford fresh food its going to be hard as well.

@@zhong138 nowadays it’s low sugar, a couple of years ago it was low fat (which is why companies now use a lot of sugar lol). Ofc for nutritional value you should balance your diet, but to begin with, managing your caloric intake is the most important first step to losing weight. 1000 cal of low sugar is still 1000 cal.

@@pearldiver6949 but calories are always not equivalent though. Countless studies have proven relying solely on calorie counting has been proven to be a stupid way to plan your diet .its helpful but calorie intake is not the only factor that determines the quality of your diet.( ask any actual medical professional they'll tell you the same.) So while any excess carbohydrates will make you obese there are certain reasons why fructose is very dangerous. I would suggest you watch dr lestigs video "sugar the bitter truth" on youtube. He does oversimplify the processes a lot but i think he does a fine job of explaining why fructose is more dangerous than any other carbohydrate we consume and how calories are always not equivalent.

@@zhong138 not true. Research shows calories in calories out. Of course it's not the only factor, but in regards to diet it's paramount

@@ayedrey again what i'm saying is that all calories are not equivalent. If all we had to do for a healthy diet was count calories them fruits ,vegetables or fructose syrup shouldn't have any difference in how it affects our health as long as you maintain calorie intake amount. but i'm pretty sure you don't need me to tell you that's not the case. I'm not saying calorie intake and excercise doesn't matter. But calorie counting is in no way paramount and my reply was in regards to what a healthy diet means. The truth of the matter is that our body processes different substances differently even if they are of the same calorie content and have drastically different effects on health and metabolism. Even sugars of equal calorie have different effects and benefits. In summary human body cannot be simply explained using basic physics it needs a bit of biochemistry too.

And food banks get them and they do not get chosen. Wind up in the bin along with any plain food that requires actual COoking!.

It's not just about money it's also about time. Fast food is chosen a lot because it's well fast. If you're hungry coming from work or school, it's a lot quicker to pick something up on the way instead of going all the way home then spending another hour preparing dinner

yupp, if he was really THAT hungry he'd eat the fruit. It's clear that he just wants more food.

Fruit has a lot of carbohydrates, notably fructose which is toxic to the liver and turns off fat burning. Eating fruit just makes you hungry...so not a good idea. Instead - green leafy veggies, broccoli, spinach, cauliflower and cream soup with chunks of chicken. Yum. That will fill his belly and let him lose weight.

@@Pravda_Z Eating fruit can also be a great snack for kids who don’t appreciate greens, and the way you describe it sounds too keto-ish. Seriously dude fruits are healthy af, if you want some protein to balance it out just eat a small yogurt. Kids who’re already addicted to sugar are going to have some trouble with veggies unfortunately

when I was a child if I was hungry, my mother said wait till it's time for a meal. we had 3 meals a day with 1 snack being fruit. This used to ve normal and turned out to be way better than the normal 6 small mealth and endless snacking.

keto

Try fasting.

3 years ago I gained 20 lbs in 2 months due to my thyroid. I was unaware I had developed a thyroid problem. I paid for a trainer at the gym for over a year and didn't lose significant weight. I then tried intermittent fasting in Jan 2020 and I lost 30 lbs. in 8 months. Try it. It's hard the first 2 weeks but then your body gets used to it.

@@TelmaFrege I don't think my doc is fully convinced about fasting, but she is aware of it. Her big thing she told me was not to overeat when i do fast. Unfortionaly, the 16, 18, 20, 24 hrs just kept me in a small narrow range, so I thought, I still have high amount of insulin to prevent anything, I need to fast more. Im currently doing a two day fast and in one day already Im down 3 pounds!! The funny thing is, my doc says losing 5 poinds in 3 months is good!! I thought, I can lose that in 3 days!! As for exercise, the doc did say that it wasnt good for losing weight, but it is good for muscle. I liked to do sprints on the track, not real big on long distrance, not sure why. As for "my plate", I only eat one a day, mostly protine, 3 eggs, sausage or baccon, small bit of hash brown and toast, and the doc says to cut my eggs, to one or two, because its protin, and cut back on meats too cause it has . . . wait for it . . . FAT in it/higjly processed . . . but mainly it has fat in it!! Suprisongly she said NOTHING about the hashbrown and toast with butter and jam, which i usually eat last anyway. I only drink water. I should measure to see what Im drinking. I think doc says 60oz a day. What half your waight in oz a day. I heard that a few years back. Oh this is funny: the doc says this cute little saying, and i love it!! Its something like: Whats on the plate determains the weight!! So my thinking was: Well if theres nothing on "my plate" I CANNOT gain weight . . . its PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIABLE!! Its sad that the healthcare people dont know about fasting, or if they do, they dont tell us about. As for the government, they screwed up big time on this one!!

Trust me the weight gain due to the pandemic has affected a lot of people

It’s similar to what i had, i was depressed, gained weight, lost all of my confidence, became more depressed. A genuine piece of advice is: splurge on a therapist. I was diagnosed with depression and was prescribed antidepressants, and they saved my life. The weight went away too.

Exactly she’s so soft spoken. I’m so mad at the mother putting her in that position

@@sweetzs100 excuse me but USA was built and developed by inmigrants, specifically poor inmigrants from Europe and other places. You are as much a descendent of peasants as anyone else. So I don't get your second sentence at all.

@@sweetzs100 Well, at least we're not as overweight as US... Oh, and the US was built by poor Europeans by the way

Well, we e joy the big portions because many times you get two meals out of one order. We have leftover culture, but I do think less people are saving there portion and taking it home.

Probably why we won the revolution and yall lost

That is why she has been employed like my entire life lol I dont ever not remember seeing her doing these kinds of interviews

Agreed. I’ve always loved Lisa Ling. When she asks it doesn’t come across with an undertone of judgment but rather inquisition. She’s a gem.

CJ JuJu she and her sister are wonderful

I loved Lisa king and Andersen cooper on channel 1 when I was in jr. High and high school. They are both awesome!

I still don't like the narrative of soul food itself being painted as bad. Its not. What is bad is how its cooked and consumed at a time.

LOL!!!! You're right about Jaylen's crocodile tears though. I have a soft spot for Jaylen and his mom. Jaylen is prolly a sweet kid and is mom has a lot on her plate. I understand how hard it can be. The mom is trying though. I just don't like when others bash the mom like she is a POS. She is facing an uphill battle.

I tell my grandson the same thing I told my son. No blood or tears you're fine.!!!

@@KaliKali-hv9bt she's NOT trying though. Did she throw those tic tacs away? No.....she kept them right in his sight. The dietician sounded exasperated when Lisa Ling asked what she's supposed to do...when he whined. She's like.....WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE!!! apparently it's not sinking in.

Where the father?????

Omg you hit it right on the nose and i caught on to that as he was doing it. I said he may be 4 but he knows exactly what he is doing and knows just how to emotionally manipulate his mother into getting his way.

Yep the mother with the son, obviously he needs a father to give discipline because it’s really hard for her and sons need their fathers. Matthew 6:33

She really is she has a beautiful energy too !!

Thank you :)

@MAX DEVEREAUX The truth can be harsh, deal with it.

@@morningmoon90 She does seem like a nice girl but she is in terrible shape, that's just the reality. Her parents should be ashamed for letting her get so unhealthy, it's child abuse.

@MAX DEVEREAUX poeple like u MAX are the problem, saying she's "beautiful'" is nothing but virtue signaling and doesnt help anything, ur actually doing more harm to them by saying they re beautiful just to make urself feel better. The healthy and beautiful at any size approach is morronic and poeple who preach it should be ashamed

Exactly.

It's horrible.

Exactly,she lets him run her

Skinny people have diabetes depression all the other systems she said

@@jackies9485 point

Well,the greens are a good idea if u go easy on the fat . Cornbread ,no. Anything corn is fattening.

Even the doctor was like ‘just ignore him’ he is only 4 or 5 so she can still turn this behavior around. Especially while he is still at home and she knows what he is eating. She just feeds him to shut him up.

Amen to that!

The parent is enabling the child

Not just say no but be treated as any mf abusing another human being period

His weight is out of control!! Not the kids fault because you can control what your kid eat on a daily basis!! There is no solid reason that he should be this big and it is not just baby FAT👣👣

It was only for the show. They back to ther ways

I'll bet you 10,000 dollars nothing changes

@@an_gigy she didn’t go on her insta

@@an_gigy she didnt shes even fatter

@@deadchannel3610 what’s her ig?

This is how im going to raise my kids

They'll get it from strangers and that's a whole different problem. How about teaching them self control?

@Itsjusta Hemi Happened to me at school. My friends parents never bought sweets and would ask his friends at school for their food.

it’s not that simple. unhealthy food is so much cheaper than healthy food

@@jayla1151 nothing in life is easy. A little effort goes a long way.

Right not tear in sight just making noise at this point 😅

@@laylolireesesq4787 "not a tear in sight"🤣🤣🤣

I can't stand it. Lol

Whining can be worse than crying sometimes

buy ear plugs and move along..problem solved. I'd rather be inconvenienced than allow my child to become sick from obesity

🤣🤣I'm British and I love watching American and British weight loss programmes my 600lb life and supersize vs superskinny are my favourites 😀 👍

@siobhan Parker - SAME I love those and freaky eaters is a good one too 😂

@@madelynestrada6085 yes and another programme with Dr Saul I can't remember what it's called 😀👍💖

💀

@@futuregirl8803 I love Fat Doctor with silver fox, Dr. Shaw Somers.

😓🙏

@Aiden Alvarez oh thank god u thought you were hating on her

@Aiden Alvarez oh nvm then

@Aiden Alvarez true

@Aiden Alvarez thx

Ik!!! Idk why that triggered me 😭

She needs to punish him. Not harshly and not in a way that will just worsen his mental health but in a way that he associates his eating habits (and his whining)with punishment.

It's irritating rather than heartbreaking. Just say no and let him tantrum it out.

Boundaries are good for kids, it's a part of life and they rely on us to know more than they do when they are young. He knew how to push her buttons.

😂

You can't grow your own veggies?

@@lienbijs1205 That still costs more money than buying it at the store.

@@maariaah333 Really not, seeds are very cheap. If you like I can send you from the Netherlands, you get the seeds for free but you have to pay the sending, but i think it is cheaper to buy it local. I have all kinds of seeds: Broccoli, green beans, tomato, carrots, and so on.

@@lienbijs1205 you also have to wait til theyre fully grown

@@ba-ib9pu Growing your own is a nice hobby, but it's not that much cheapear than the supermarket. Thing about gardens, you'll get a stupid huge number of tomatos, all at once. To eat all year you need to get into canning or some kind of preservation? Actually for me, the vegetables aren't too bad costwise, it's buying fresh fish and meat that adds up.

That’s sad

likewise, in Australia trans fats are banned in fast foods and processed foods are taxed at a higher rate than fresh produce. One if the few government policies I can support in this current age of lunacy and victim rewarding. Edit, we also do not have free school lunch. You bring your own lunch. Usually a sandwich, piece of fruit and water. Our canteen, sells some snacks, but parents must provide their children money to purchase candy and that's rare.

@@abdisheiko8131 lol. The lunch system is different in Latvia or Lithuania where I am from. The state literally monitors that kids get a healthier option. You would never find a can of soda in our schools. Another problem - most kids don't eat at school, they go to the shops around.

Well here...they Want our kids Hooked on the crap I guess idk..it's gross. I normally only bake or boil. Sometimes fry in olive oil.

Wish Australia would improve what is allowed at schools too. Our state's vary a lot in most Victorian schools your kids can't pack chocolate etc but on Queensland it is fine. health pros who want to have the contentents of snacks targeted at children to be capped for energy density and sugar but gov won't do it. Think it is very political and companies can have a lot of say.

Exactly .. what kind of mother is she ?

An uneducated and disconnected mother.

She relies on food to raise her son.

Where is Jaylens Father? Why has he left her with 4 kids?

@@suepem because it’s normal among African Americans

Well, even though it seems to be all about the child. The changes they made at the end, benefits the all family. I see what you mean about child abuse, but truly it's not !

He learned it works. I would say she's easily manipulated, but she created him to be dependent on her and food.

@@VioletJoy it annoys me how she is taken in by his bad attitude

I was just thinking the same thing. That’s crazy & she seems to just buckle under pressure.

...and at his own expense.

Yup !!! I don't think the food is the problem. He knows how to get his way and will do do it until it doesn't work anymore. Now, about the mom. I believe her, I believe she loves her son so so so much than even those fake cries are unbearable. People should'nt be quick to judge. The struggles is real.

Damm

Exactly mom comes off to me as having some type of mental issue and she needs therapy herself!

Children services needs to get involved, it is child abuse plain and simple!

my husband has severe sleep apnea had surgery before that heavy duty dangerous meds! So we get it.. he now uses a CPAP it was heart breaking for both of us, especially the hubby to hear a 4 yr old dig @ age 2!! When they can't totally explain what's up!! It gets me being I was a HUGE kid also and to hear this momma.. when we now KNOW more.. We too were poor back then no food stamps BUT you stood in line for surplus govt food.. so Yes, I remember what it was like for my parents too.. NOW w stamps.. it is somewhat easier for choices.. still difficult!! I wish best for this young child & his mom !

Right. It is heart-wrenching.

It's horrible. These companies and corporations don't give a crap either. It's a real shame because he is very active too, with the right food he would be so healthy.

@@redits7667 it's their job to provide the food But it's a persons resposbility to consume it in limit,so blaming the company is just pointless

@@notsudomanu37 everyone involved is partly to blame but if the choice was never there in the first place what then?

People don’t realize obesity is caused by psychological factors as well. Stress eating or a coping mechanism for some trauma experienced,,,Food can be an addiction and worse than alcohol because you don’t need alcohol to survive but you need food and being a food addict surrounded by their drug to survive

💔

I know this episode is old but if you are like that at 12 years old and people are constantly telling you to lose weight you have a higher chance of having a eating disorder The scariest part about that is the fact that people might see it as good so those parents is doing her damage in more ways then one.

Her mom won't stop feeding her that bad food. Clearly she doesn't care about her child and neither does her dad.

@@samantharamirez2363 yeah I've often thought that, it's not like you can count your days of abstinence even because you have to eat to survive. I found it easier to make a couple of changes every week like using sweetener instead of sugar and snacking on sugar free jelly rather than sweets . It worked for me, took me a couple of years to get to my ideal weight but I got there!

The ACE Study. Google it.

I can relate

aramide aromire I’m so sorry you had to endure that

Me too, started happening to me about 7 years old.

@@dianarobinson1542 I am so sorry. No one can touch your beautiful souls. You are loved.
