You fix dinner, and you don’t ask your kids what they want. You fix a healthy meal so your children don't end up with a weight problem too.

Her attitude just makes it worse

She’s full of excuses. The food she cooks for her kids and herself is a BIG no no, not a single vegetable in sight.

I hate when they are harsh to Dr. Now

“and i’m really trying” *immediately gets on scooter 5 steps away from the car*

Honestly, I have had patients that blame their continued lack of physical progress on everyone and everything. I will be patient with someone to help them reach their goals, but I cannot make you want to change. I can encourage....but at the end of the day a person needs to want to get better for themselves. And support can help, but again, ultimately, you have to want it for yourself.

It’s crazy how people think eating serving size potions is equal to starving yourself. My kids are the reason I keep healthy I couldn’t imagine not being a part of their lives because I was unhealthy. I have to be vigilant just to keep myself alive. I feel bad when people are so off the rails they’d rather orphan their kids than do something challenging

Stormed out? You mean she waddled out.

That trainer is an amazing person.❤

Imagine somebody who is struggling to find food in the wild before grocery stores, and seeing somebody as huge as this woman is. She looks at the hungry wild man dead in the eye, and says, “Food is the enemy.” Mind blowing concept

Did they just sit uncovered food in the back of the van???? Wtf

Is any anyone else grossed out that they didn’t cover the cupcakes they just threw them in the back😂😂

They need to cover those cupcakes in the trucks trunk. They put them on the dirty floor🫣👀

I am very sad to see people like that and still they don't realize how bad their weight has gotten. She said physically she feels great I think thats b.s. if somebody has to carry all that weight. They are all lying to themselves.

She said she’s just gonna starve herself… maam does it look like you’re starving😭?! She needs counseling to change her mindset

She got every chance nobody's fault but hers!!!! Put down the fork!!!

I like how Dr. Now is calm and tells this lady that she lost no weight. He is a cool doc who tells the truth and i have seen when he straight up tells a patient you are not trying to lose weight exactly what he told this lady. I think it is funny how she tried convincing the doc that she walked the whole dept. store thinking that he would believe her(i am astounded that the lady next to her didn't point out like you were riding the scooter not walking around the store) and telling the doc like i am sticking to the diet which in reality all i saw was no veggies only fatty stuff- like french fries/cupcakes/hot dogs and hamburgers/etc and she don't understand why she ain't lost no weight? I do admit that she moved the fastest i have seen someone her size out of that office, if she moved that fast she would have lost way more weight. I can see that she wants to be more part in her kids lives but if you can't change your eating habits and stay off the d*mn scooter(i can understand if you have arthitis or knee problems) you will gain much more weight and have more health problems that will end up up killing you(i am sorry to say that last part but it is the truth). I do hope this lady comes to her senses and changes her ways and maybe get weight loss surgery someday.

How does she pay for food? Food stamps that I've worked 45 years to support 😠 😠

Eating 2500 calories is starving yourself?😂😂😂. I still eat pizza, burgers, chicken, tacos...

For some reason, why is she expecting things are easy? Life is not easy! And trying is not enough, doing, is what counts.

This woman is so selfish and rude the poor doctor is trying to help, I'm a overweight woman and if I had a doctor like Dr now I'd be doing everything he said and more

It’s so sad… “I’m not eating anything that’s not on the diet” -proceeds to eat hot dogs w ketchup/mustard on bread, with French fries on the side- that was the 1200 cal for the day. But compared to what they were eating it’s true- it is way less. Just still too much and the wrong things.

So I just watched the whole episode and after her big storm out she does admit he was right and she does turn things around and even got a 54lb lump of fat removed off her stomach surprisingly way before I thought he was going to approve her for that, she still weighed 400 when he did it. It's weird how he is really easy on some patients and not others when it comes to his requirements. He did both of her surgeries a lot quicker than I've seen him do most people saying she was in danger I guess because of the shape of her body maybe idk.

There’s no way she made cupcakes and didn’t eat them!! This is in Texas- most obese people live in Red States

Food addiction is a hell of a drug. Sadly people don't see it as drug addiction. But it is because of the drugs chemicals they put in our food.

Didn't Shakespeare write in one of his plays "Methinks they doth protest too much?"😮

Many patients feel this is an easy fix it is not by any means . It takes a lot of mental work because you have to fix your relationship with food. You must find your triggers and learn a new normal . The surgery itself it's not long but the recovery is painful both physically and mentally . I did my due diligence and sought any help available and I'm still a working progress 9 months out I have lost 100 pounds I have 50 to get to my goal weight of 150 . I developed body issues because I don't see the progress although my scale and clothes say different . I also have excess skin not too much I can live with that . I would do it all over again because it quite literally saved my life. I was tired of being tired and eating all the wrong things . Now I eat small portions and I love it ❤. Please do tour research find great team of people that can help you through the process. Because the work begins hour 1 after tour surgery and it's lifelong . Be prepared to have hair loss and you have to take vitamins everyday for the rest of your life. It's not an easy decision to make but it's worth it . After years of fad diets and telling myself to eat less it lead to more weight gain .

storms out seems kind of an overstatement

As someone who is overweight I just got to say. Own. Your. Shit.

Is it me or did she just lie about walking a whole department store and not eating anything she not suppose to i saw a big hotdog with bun and ketchup and mustard and fries those fries come frozen they arent healthy maybe if she made fries from actual potato and fry em with olive oil and get turkey dogs instead of hot dogs and buns that have grains and flax seeds those simple changes make a huge difference i struggle with my weight too not this bad but i struggle and i have super flat feet which means im in pain within first 30min-1hr

I feel for her so much. I'm happy she lost the weight

That had to be the fastest she ever walked when she got denied once again 😅

I can barely eat a full meal and get full how the heck do they do it

How on earth can the mother sit there and know she’s lying!,, 🤬🤬

I am fighting the Battle of the Bulge, but she is not helping herself with all that lying. I learned, telling the doctor a lie is fooling no one but yourself. I changed the way I eat, and I love salads and vegetables. The problem I have is osteoarthritis in both knees, and it's difficult for me to get around. With the strength of God, I do it. Yes, it hurts like hell, but I have to continue. God bless her, and I wish her luck😊❤❤❤

Storms out? Yeah, like a kidneystone..

All you have to do is drink a ton of water, no soda, and eat half portions of healthy food and walk and you will lose weight it’s not hard

What part of “1200 calories and no carbs per day” doesn’t she understand?

All the hate from yall, but this woman lost 300 pounds. I know plenty of the negative commenters couldnt do that. Something to consider, too, is that mental health and trauma are at the very core of these issues. Psychological change is HARD. Harder than losing weight. I wonder how many negative commenters have been through therapy and stood up to face their own trauma and emotional and mental struggles.

I genuinely feel bad for her she’s really trying to

Food is the enemy lol

You matter! Awesome words.👍🏻

Far too many people want to lose weight but don't want to put in the work

The only way this women is going to make any progress is therapy, and (while I’m not huge on big pharma) probably ***temporary*** wegovy while she gets the proper help that she needs + make slow lifestyle changes (that way she won’t be forever dependent on it) And the biggest one of all, SHE NEEDS TO FINALLY BE HONEST WITH HERSELF, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER LIFE, and ADMIT SHE HAS A PROBLEM! (Probably binge eating disorder)

It’s literally impossible to have sympathy for these people

They become motivational speakers 😂😂😂

So miserable. And blames everyone else. UGH

She's rather fast when she is upset lmao, imagine telling her to do a lap around the hospital to calm down

It's amazing how they lie to him, thinking he'll believe them.

I saw French fries, cupcakes, and hot dogs in this clip and she wondering why she can't lose weight.

She lied about walking through the department store, she rode her scooter.

“I walked a whole department store” … did we watch the same video ? She used her scooter

This is an old episode. She ended up losing almost 300 pounds and has kept the weight off. It takes a lot to unlearn lifelong habits. She felt big emotions and it was rough getting started but she stuck with it and showed a lot more willpower in the end than a lot of people could muster. We all feel like quitting at one time or another, this is a good reminder that sometimes you gotta throw a fit but keep going.

Pro tip: don’t tell the doctor he’s preaching at you when he’s trying to save your life.

You didn't walk the whole department store love, you sat in your motorised cart, ate chips and tomato sauce and hot dogs. Accountability is required.

If she cannot change her eating habits it's up to her.. you cannot help someone who doesn't help her self

After I had my daughter, I got divorced from a monster. My daughter was 4 years old. I was totally alone, on my own, no family to support me, and over 300 lbs. I gained so much weight because I was in a horrible relationship. After my husband left everything for my daughter was up to me!! I put her needs before my own! I went to college online, worked 2 jobs, and lost over 100 lbs! Today, I'm 170 lbs, I have 3 Masters degrees and am an administrator at a school, and my daughter is 29, and has an amazing work ethic and is such a good girl. You have to love your children before and above everyone and everything, including food!! It can be done, but if you don't have a good work ethic, you won't make it..buck up!!

I've never in my life thrown a tantrum just because I heard something I didn't wanna hear. How do people get like this?

“ I even walked a whole.. a whole department store” girl no tf u didn’t u drove through the whole department store😭

Wow the personal trainer was so compassionate 😳 we don't have that in the newer seasons 😢

They kept the cupcakes in the refrigerator without covering them and put them on the dirty carpet in the back of the vehicle then took them to the school uncovered. Seeing that really makes me glad that my kids school doesn’t allow home cooked items. All treats have to be store-bought and individually wrapped thank God.

She keeps saying "I hope I've lost the weight my doctor wanted" not "I wanted", which shows to me she is not ready to make a change.

She had the trainer convinced that she doesn't think of herself, only her family. Who's she thinking of while she's shoveling food into her face?

“Physically I feel great” sure….💀💀💀

No cover on the cupcakes?

A long time ago, my mom told me "a dead mom is no good for her kids," and i didn't understand until I got so sick i had to be hospitalised. It scared me bad, but it was a good lesson to learn.

She probably never walked faster than she did out that door😅

Look how fast she walked out the doctors office though ? 😂😂😂

These people are a trip. All they want is a quick fix it doesn't go like that with anything u gotta put the work in.

An adult and a mother throwing a tantrum like that is truly sad to watch.

I love how they lie about what they eat, but it is on camera. Don't know why they can't be honest about it. They are the ones who went to the doctor for help. If you don't want to follow the doctors instructions then quit wasting everyone's time.

She knows damn well she ate at least 2to 5 cupcakes while making them who is she trying to fool

Her storming out of the building was the most exercise she has ever done. 💀

"I'm going to fkn starve myself for two weeks to make everyone fkn happy" 5 seconds later "I'm done with this, I quit, I'm done 😡🤬"

Cry baby throwing a tantrum when she doesn't get what she wants

People often joke that Dr. Now's name ought to be "Dr. Later." But in some cases, it's more like "Dr. Never."

Denial is pretty darn powerful.

She is very immature.

I have never seen anyone less enthusiastic about anything!! True Sad Sack.

I’m sure her family supports her while orbiting around her.

When I was in grade school back in the late 70s & early-mid 80s, one of the grade mothers was an enormous woman. She prepared & brought the BEST cakes, cookies, & snacks for our classroom parties & NOBODY made fun of her. We all loved her because she was so sweet & the best cook EVER! 👍🏾💯🤗🧁🍪🎂

I remember my mom being on the thick side not even close to 600 but in 1st grade I was teased over it and I was angry with her the hurt in her eyes still haunts 40 years later 😢

I’m with Dr. Now in this, he said nothing but facts about her

I love how people find ways to convince themselves that it's okay to eat so much food

She walked well enough when she stormed out 😅

If she stopped lying and took responsibility for her actions, then she might get her surgery.

You can't help someone who won't help themself.

Shove less calories in & move more. Swimming is good as you’ll feel less weight.

Was 280 pounds in august 2021. Used VLCD diet. Weigh now 174 pounds. I am a 5 feet 11 inch male.

I might cheat here and there.... That's not cheating. . That's called still stuffing your face with crap. She is selfish. You don't say you are going to do it for your kid and then not do it. That's called lazy

Today, during my strenght training routine I felt frustrated because I found it difficult to make burpees and other excercises. Also sometimes I very hard with myself when I eat some greasy food (my eatings habits are healthy, in general). After seeing this, I'm going to be more gentle with.myself and my abbilities. On the other hand, this lady needs to be more strict with herself.

She's making cup cakes for herself. She doesn't understand how thermodynamics work if she thinks people will believe she stuck to the diet.

She hasn’t tried at all with that weight She’s full of it

It definitely takes a special individual to go into bariatric medicine. I would go crazy with all the delusion. Not only are you a doctor, you’re a psychiatrist playing mental mind games!

The mom over there with her head down and her mouth covered trying to keep the truth inside!lmao

Why did they have to explain FOUR, back to back, times that the son gets teased because of his mom’s size???

That personal trainer was amazing.

Im not who she was putting first when she ate herself to obesity. Not sure how her kids were first when she couldnt even go in their classrooms withoutnthem being bullied. Not sure who is first when she keeps cheating on her diet.

so proud of beautiful tara after her surgery,skin surgery&where are they now episode.she loss weight.her weight was in the 300’s.
