I don’t really use IG anymore (I still have one account but only rarely go on). If Mini Michelle ever gets her own YT channel, I’ll sub on my @cherishedplaytime channel which is my doll/plushie/toy channel.
0:39 @Michellemcd543 😮 As a melanin-challenged chick, I feel it is MY responsibility to tell you I'm concerned about Barbie-Blacksploitation and your opening comments toward mini-Michelle. 😢 Many of my friends are Black Barbies who are underpaid, undervalued, and unionizing behind the scenes. So, my fellow McDaniel chick? I'm watching 👀 you. Treat your ppl right! I can't believe you're pampering yourself right in front of mini-Michelle.😢 I'm not a lawyer, but this injustice has inspired me to go to law school. As a cynical Gen-Xer, I know I'll never have time to pay off the Student Loans, but I just need to see justice for mini-Michelle. Especially bc she's a fellow McD chick! How could you?!?😢😫 I kill me! 🤣😜 I'm here all week. Can we get a round of applause for your servers tonight? No need to DUI. The hostess will happily call u an Uber or taxi if you're fancy. I'll be selling cassette tapes after the show (don't judge me; I hv no production staff, nor budget). Come by and say "hi!" Except you, fellow Ms. McDaniel. Your name's not on the list. But mini-Michelle is welcome. 😂 Well, I have law schools to apply to at age 50. It's gonna take some time for me to pass the Bar, but in a few yrs, I'm coming for you...🤨😉👋 -🌴 just me in Palm Springs 🌴 P.S. Laugh w me: IRL story. I'm so White, I'm "off-blue." My BFF is a Black chick who needs zero makeup. I need artificial color. At the MAC counter to buy the only foundation that doesn't turn me orange. Friend's bored. Til this happened... Me: I need (foundation color). Cute hispanic gay dude/MAC: Oh, honey! You're wearing the wrong color. It's far too light. That's why u look so pale! I mean... fair. Me: I've been wearing this shade for 15 yrs. Trust a White Chick. MAC Guy: Can I just show you the difference? I think you'll see... (disappears to get me "the right color") Me (to friend): Sorry. This happens a lot. Now we hv to let this nice guy turn me orange before he'll go get the color I originally asked for. Friend: White Chick problems?😂 MAC guy: (He comes back w a shade darker than mine; puts it on my jawline and did this): 😮 Me: See? I'm orange. Please get my shade? MAC: I'm so sorry! I've never sold that shade before! You do know that's our lightest shade... (pauses) Me: Go on... MAC: Well, we hv a special edition shade for Kabuki theater, and your shade is one up from that. BFF loses it. Just 🤣🤣🤣's. And she's a highly regarded attorney, so she usually can keep a poker face.😐 To this day, she asks if I need to touch up my Kabuki face before we go eat. 😂 PPS Screw law school. I'll just show BFF these discriminatory opening comments, and I'm sure she'll want the case...😂 Love your stuff. Gonna go actually watch now. Hope u see this Wall O' Text I built just for you and the Almighty Algorithm. Dedicated to mini-Michelle ❤. Kabuki +1 out. 👋😁
They sit there and say eating healthy is expensive while simultaneously eating enough to feed a family of 5 everyday. There’s no way you can’t afford healthy food
That boggles my mind. Meal prep a big ole salad and grill some chicken. That’s lunch for a few days. Make a frittata with lots of veggies, that’s breakfast for a few days, make some meatballs and zucchini noodles, that’s dinner for a few days. Buy chick peas and tahini and make hummus for a snack and slice some veggies. Then when that’s getting low, meal prep a few more days worth of food. I can feed myself and my 6’2, 200 lb husband for around $100 a week and I buy exceptional quality food. I buy 85% locally grown and sourced food and I don’t purchase convenience foods. Ingredients aren’t expensive, convenience foods are. I found that if I bought a box of cereal, my husband could eat that in 2 days just because it was here, so I don’t buy it and he snacks on whatever I made for us to snack on.
I hate it- they talk about the “privilege of healthy eating” as if they can’t afford that food too, or like oats, rice, beans, etc aren’t cheap AF? I live on a budget bc I have to and I live off of fruits, veg, beans, rice, oats, etc - i eat what I can afford and it sure as hell isn’t fast food every day
The mother saying " we didn't feel comfortable putting him on such a low calorie diet." Like, oh yeah, only feel comfortable when you are killing him ig.
I cannot imagine feeding your child who is clearly dying of obesity 20,000 - 30,000 calories a DAY, which is more than the average person eats in a WEEK
As an incurable cancer patient, ask me what I would do to be cured, or what I can do to extend my life, and I would do it. The fact that he is literally about to die, yet he still has a chance to live, but doesn’t want to do what the doctor is telling him, is just mind boggling, and honestly, frustrates and angers me to no end. And don’t get me started on his mother. . .
I believe his obesity was the cause of his lack of will to live. Weighing almost 1000lb at 26 years old, he must have been very large as a kid. Before he ever really experienced life, his world view had narrowed to a room or two, entertainment devices, and highly processed food. That was all he knew, and how appealing is an isolated, painful future. What's so infuriating is that it didn't have to be that way.
I don't think he ever got to experience life and mature beyond a child's thought process. In his situation another person needed to force his health, unfortunately his own mother did this to him.
That's it, he never knew any difference. I think that's the reason behind a lot of the fat acceptance people being utterly convinced exercise is always the most terrible thing imaginable. Even just walking. They have nothing to aim for, in their minds.
@nerdycurls6253 didn't seem like it! He probably never got a chance to have a relationship nor ever have sex, probably never got to go do things teenagers do. She deprived him of everything!! She kept him hostage by keeping him that size. So sad
The saddest thing is as more of these larger people die, It still isn't stopping this fat acceptance movement. People need to get a reality check: carrying excessive amounts of fat is NEVER healthy.
These people are malicious. They cant even claim ignorance. For about a year i spent time in their online circles, i tried everything. I talked to them, i provided evidence, pure logic, i tried being nice, being mean, i even targeted the audiences of these activists. I BEGGED them to stop harming themselves. I was ridiculed, called horrible names, laughed at, banned, you name it. These people have been provided with everything required to make the right choice and they refused. If i unleash a deadly virus and 100 people die, i go to prison. I think it should be the same if i convince 100 obese people on tiktok to eat themselves to death. These people should not walk free, its criminal

Sean’s story was so dark and depressing. His mother died suddenly, and his goal was not to live independently, but get into a nursing home. Right before he died, his life was basically just being slumped naked in a chair all day, never bathing, only getting up for pizza delivery with a blanket clutched in front of him. He died from complications stemming from a bad skin infection after numerous warnings from Dr. Now, so it was more the case that Sean just gave up on life. Really tragic. Also tragic that Mommy Dearest didn’t live to reap what she sowed.
Was this shown on 600 pound life where are they now? I'm not that far into that show and recently watched an episode of Sean there but everyone was fine in that episode.
Maybe this Mommy Dearest had her own Mommy Dearest that passed already? We can go on like this forever, it's always the momma and never the adult ass man
Yes he is an adult now, but he has been literary raised into this condition since childhood. You can say he himself didnt do enough but his mom molded him into that since he was a kid. The MAJOR guilt is on her. I think you underestimate how hard it is to change once you have been raised a certain way. Not impossible of course but very difficult. Parents are still the first people responsible
I don't get why Sean said he didn't know what 800 calories would be!!?? Dude, calories are listed on the packages on literally EVERYTHING you friggin eat!!! It's not hard!! 🙄 so sad how he ended up. His dad really should have stepped in and helped him out once his mom was gone.
An entire box of sugar free jello is only 80 calories. She could’ve fed him ten boxes of jello a day and stay within 800 and keep him constantly eating. There’s always a way if you’re willing to work.
Yeah but that gives him no nutrition. He could eat that inbetween meals. For meals he could eat eggs with veggies for breakfast, chicken with salad for lunch and fish or turkey and veggies for dinner.
@@powderandpaint14you’d be shocked at how effective the human body is at deriving all the nutrients it needs from its own stored fat. That’s literally exactly what we store it for
Can i brag here? After 10 years of depression, anxiety and +24kgs later, I decided to go to a gym, with a trainer. It's been two weeks, I feel amazing, I have more energy than when I did when I was 24, anxiety is much lower, I want to do things! Every day. It's an amazing feeling. 1500kcal a day, gym twice a week, on other days bike or swimming pool. I already lost 2.5kgs It was hard to finally get to doing all this, but it's more than worth it. Thank you Michelle, you were one of the factors that made me get my sh!t together! If I could start taking care of myself, anyone can! Lots of love to everyone reading this ❤ Edit 1 (more to come with updates;p): I have never experienced so much positive vibes, so much encouragement and support, so many kind words on the internet before. I would like to thank you, amazing strangers ♥️, each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart, for all the comments below. You are truly wonderful people, with beautiful hearts. I'm not gonna lie, my eyes started sweating from the overwhelming amount of support. Thank you once again, you are the best!♥️ Edit2: It's gonna be a quick one, from the moment I've started going to the gym, eating 1500kcals per day, and living more actively the stats are as per below: Chest: 117cm (-5cm) Belly: 105.5cm (-1.5cm) Arm: 32cm (-1cm) Hips: 104.5cm (-1.5cm) Thigh: 56cm (-3cm) Calf: 38.5 (-1.5cm) I couldn't be happier;)
Go you! I have multiple mental health issues and I do find the physical activity every day really helps, be that gym, running, just going out and getting the steps in. I also had a personal trainer at the start of my health journey and it gave me that reason to go to the gym, and reassurance having someone there who could explain what to do. Glad that you are already feeling the benefits, and it only gets better I promise!
So proud of you. I also put on a lllooottt of weight lately and even going to the gym didn't seem to make a difference, then I started eating less and go to the gym 4 times a week and I can see my waist being more defined and my abs starting to appear. Lost about 3kgs but I can see muscles forming so the number on the scale isn't my priority as of now. Keep going we can so it. 💪🏽
He's one of the most tragic cases on the show. This guy never had a real chance. His mom functionally disabled him. Was not at all surprised when I heard he passed away right after the where are they now update.
@@demigreen6495 He would be near impossible to cremate. There have been crematoriums that nearly burned down form the heat created from the fat catching fire. (Ohio) There are special crematoriums, but none that I know of can handle his mass.
That word was long before video games. I'm surprised you haven't heard it before. It came into English from the Norman French for throat. Same as 'gorgeous'. You want to 'eat it all up'.@@Lukkaboc
You’re absolutely right for having no sympathy for the mother. It’s her job to make sure her son has healthy habits and can take care of himself, but because of her enabling he can’t. I feel for him for having a father that mistreated him. He was failed by both of his parents and it’s truly sad to see
The thing is that Fat acceptance people would probably say "that's an extreme case" but these people on my 600LB life were once just 200 pounds over weight, they were once just eating 2 cheese burgers a day. It escalates! It gets out of control and quickly! That's the cautionary tale this show is trying to tell. We've seen some fat acceptance members gain significant weight and even die from complications. It's so sad. We're not being hateful. It drives me crazy when fat people say "you don't actually care about our health" I can't speak for everyone but I can speak for me and I DO care about people's health and quality of life.
fat acceptance is fine to a degree, as long as someone is living a normal life with no health issues correlating to their weight, that's a healthy size for them. if they struggle to walk or do other basic life activities, that's not a healthy size
I watched my mom eat herself into diabetes when I was in middle school. I was a kid so I didn’t really deal with it in a healthy way but all of it came from watching someone eat themselves to death and not knowing wtf to do about it. Luckily she got help and is doing pretty well, still overweight but I rather have that than nothing. Extreme weight gain is a cry for help and I wish that wasn’t a controversial take
You sound like you might feel miffed that is the case. No one should justify any eating disorder. People were right for not validating your ED, you know that right?
@@shelbyj1433I think the point this person was trying to make is that it’s ridiculous that society would feel the need to call out one unhealthy behavior(and rightfully so) but fail to call out and even encourage another unhealthy behavior (that being binge eating). It’s a double standard
@@yoursweetestdream1770 that's the obvious takeaway, I'm not lost on that. The way their comment is worded, they sound a little frustrated that people didn't indulge them. Subtext is a thing.
@@shelbyj1433no! That wasn’t my intention, I just felt frustrated that I set in a long journey to recover, part of the recovery process was to accept that my eating habits were not healthy. And there are so many people out there who just see it as eating too much, instead of food addiction/ binge eating disorder, just like an*rexia isn’t a diet, it’s a disorder.( again, my English is not great, so I hope this is understandable:) thank Gd I’m in my healthy weight range and getting my menstrual cycle and feeling great! Food is no longer an enemy to me, but these videos can trigger my old frustration again.
At my highest weight of 435 lbs, the fact that I was only 165 pounds from being on that show. The thought of it alone is hard to process, but I busted my ass to lose 227 pounds naturally so far. It's going to be hard, you're gonna want to give up, but you don't, you keep going.
I don’t understand how people get that big. I am 20 lbs overweight because of depression and I HATE my body right now. I hate the way I feel. I hate the extra weight under my chin, my stomach and my legs rubbing together 🤢 I don’t understand how people can live overweight
Double it and yuo have me 4 years ago. Hated it and I am glad I changed. Key was food diary though because I had no single clue about nutrition and was in denial, too until I hit the 80 kg mark.
Some of us were never really healthy weight to begin with. Other people use food for other things and just grow used to it (it's easier in each individual moment to deal with it even if it'd be easier overall to fix it, especially when it's a coping mechanism causing it). People just incorporate new aches and pains into their normal, often only getting a wake up when they don't experience it for a brief moment. For context: I've never been in that large, but I was where I could drop half my weight and just get into the officially healthy range.
Nobody can convince me "celebrating your body" means not taking care of it. Eat healthily most of the time. Exercise enough. You don't have to do anything extreme.
Back in my day it meant not being jealous for other people’s features, like freckles or eye color. Or embracing things like wrinkles or deformities. Not… *this*
My mom was dying from being morbidly obese. She has had to get so many surgeries from the damage. She's also a Narcissist and lives in denial. Blames everything and everyone for her issues. And hates me for being Slim and would starve me as child so i would sneak food and eat it very quickly when no one was around. And i had to help bathe her instead of worrying about myself as a kid.
I feel that. I have an obese narcissistic mother as well. My mother is working towards becoming morbidly obese. I never had to bathe her. Give it another decade or two and her hips give out like her mother's did and she'll need the help. I don't think she starved me on purpose. I think that was just a consequence of being poor. I would sneak and hide food for later as often as I dared. And I wouldn't miss a chance to eat. If food was offered it was taken happily. She would make me feel so gross for being naturally thin. Comments about my clothes and hobbies. She always wanted me to wear skinny jeans and tight shirts so she could live vicariously through me. Her exact words once were, "If I had a body like yours, I'd wear skinny jeans and leggings all the time." I don't care for them. I sit on my feet so the denim cuts into my skin. She wanted me to be a cheerleader because that's what she would of done if she was thin in middle and high school. Nevermind I didn't have the interest. Nor did we have the money so it was a short lived delusion. Yet she'll look me in the eyes and tell me she never did anything to tear my sister and I down. Narcissistic moms are the worst. I can't wait for my baby brother to grow up and realize she sucks, so I can cut contact. I hope you can get away from your mother as well. I empathize with your plight.
Regarding the tiktok near the end, you can DO healthy activities at any size and that should be encouraged. The trouble lies when people think that that suddenly MAKES them healthy.
Exactly. It's idiotic when they make straw man arguments as if a normal person is angry at a fat person for being at the gym. Doing healthy things does not equate to being healthy. A person who habitually misuses drugs but also brushes their teeth and eats an appropriate amount does not mean they should be considered healthy.
Not healthy activity is healthy for morbidly obese people though like lifting, running, jumping... Best is standing up regularly, walking and activity within water like swimming.
@BlackCroft666 That's true! Obesity is a medical condition and should be treated as such, there are exercises and activities that are better than others depending on each individual and their health
Last week, I was eating at a frozen yogurt place and this family came in. The father and mother were fit, and they had big muscles; on another hand the child, about 5 years old, was the biggest 5 year old I had ever seen. It just pisses me off that parents give kids whatever they want just because they don’t want to hear their whining and tantrums. It’s literally a part of parenting that everyone should learn to deal with. My parents always controlled what I ate and had a treat every once in a while, I turned out the perfect weight. How is this not seen as a form of neglect? CPS should be on their ass.
Tbf, if they were muscular, they probably tend to hold body fat as well but weight lift. They probably eat a similar diet to their kid, it's just being stored as fat instead of muscle. I've seen a lot of fit people who don't eat a very nutritious diet. Though I agree that too many parents are lazy with what they feed their kid. My toddler eats healthier than I do and why would I even introduce him to things like sweets and fried chicken if I don't want him eating those things
Just did 30 minutes on my elliptical while watching The Cynical Dude, now on my treadmill watching Mini Michelle. These video keep me motivated! I've gone from 254 lbs to 238 lbs since the end of May.
Very impressive! Keep going! You can totally do it! I was once 186 pounds and a whopping 41% body fat. I’m down to 150 that seems high, but I have muscles I didn’t have before…body fat is 25%! I wanted to give up and sometimes I just do not want to go to the gym and want to eat a whole damn pizza. But I keep pushing.
As a recovering binge eater, it is completely possible. I slipped up yesterday and when I totaled up my "little slip" it came out to 10K. In my past this would normally be about 15-20K days and would happen 2-4 times a week. Yesterday was my first binge in three months. It takes a long time to change a behavior. I even have supportive friends. I can't imagine changing this with an enabler feeding me.
I think one argument, which seems to be lost in all overeating shows/vids is how poor nutrition influences the brain and mood. Our thinking machine needs proper food and starving it of good stuff, while overdoing the bad one, is terryfying. I wonder how many people overlook their diet as a reason for mood swings and depression.
Absolutely! What you eat influences gut bacteria (which ones you have and what they/you crave), hormones, energy levels, sleep. That's why it's so tricky! And also why many people are convinced they just genetically crave different foods than others when much comes down to your diet of the past weeks, months, years. Sadly, what you eat also is reflected in your taste buds. Once you stop eating sugar for a few months, you'll notice how bad most candy tastes for example and you now appreciate the natural subtle nuances of veggies, that you could hardly taste before. It's crazy
Yes we don’t talk enough about how the emotional fragility, helplessness and immaturity you see is probably caused by the processed, highly addictive foods. And most of these folks have been obese most their lives
@@existentialgamer9206 exactly! I saw this covered in shows about children (nannies helping parents), and they made a point to fix children's diet along with dynamic at home. They would get absolutely chaotic children to calm down and sleep well at bedtime through this small changes. But we forget this works for adults too.
I certainly did. When I was a 300lb sugar addict I thought I needed immense psychological help but turns out 90% of it was due to my diet and weight. Once I lost the weight and fixed my diet and got more active the majority of my mental and emotional health problems disappeared

One thing that is not talked enough in those shows is how everybody around those people are ALSO very overweight, but because there's one that is worse that everybody, they feel like they are not that bad, but get them alone and it's pretty clear that everybody in there have a problem and they are influencing each other in those bad habits.
Sean could've lived for an entire YEAR without eating anything. The record for the longest medically documented fasting period is 382 days, set by Angus Barbieri, a Scottish man who fasted from June 14, 1965 to June 30, 1966. Barbieri was 27 at the time. Sean was bigger than Angus and we have better medical tech today. He could have beaten the world record and still be alive. Instead his mom abused him until he died.
One of the greatest gifts my parents gave me was to model great behaviour when it came to listening to doctors. They provided a perfect example of this in many ways. For example, when my dad had a heart health crisis and was told to change the way he ate, he immediately changed his diet. The first day he was out of the hospital he changed everything about the food he consumed and mum changed, too. Told to exercise more. They did it. What is the point of paying for advice and then ignoring it. Lunacy to do that!
The fact that he was mobile at 920 lbs is insane. I dont think I know anybody that could walk around with an additional 600-700 pounds strapped to them. Youd have to be a professional strongman to move that kind of weight.
Being obese isn't healthy. I've been struggling with my weight my entire life. It took having a heart attack last fall then being stuck in a hospital for 4 months for me to accept that your weight is not a game.
Sean was the most memorable person featured on this show because he shat himself in the waiting room of Dr. Now’s office. It lives in my head rent free occasionally
I recently watched an Alan Roberts video where a 6 year old kid was morbidly obese. She struggling to breath and climb the stairs on the playground. It was really sad and made me angry. I hope this country gets a grip on this soon because now really young kids have to deal with the consequeces of HAES and at risk of early death because of pure stupidity.
I was at a water park with my 1yo last month, and there was another 1yo who looked like a bowling ball. Her mom and sister had to move her. Otherwise, she just sat and looked around, I felt so bad for that baby. Her mom was also overweight. Her sister had a belly but was energetic and active. I'm sure she would be a lot bigger if she weren't. My heart broke for the little ones.
Michelle, I would like to say I am a 26 y/o fatty Ms. Fat-fat and your content has pushed me the furthest I've been in soooo long. I started watching you when I was at the heaviest I've ever been in my entire life 151+kg (the scale couldn't weigh me either) and I started my weight loss journey watching a lot of you and similar girlies my size trying to lose weight. By the end of that year, I maintained around 127 kgs and planned to keep going with the weight loss. Then I had a traumatic event happen and ballooned up to to 142kg June of last year. But through watching your content picking the pieces of myself back up I am proud to say I am down to 116kg now and still GOING STRONG. Thank you so much for bringing hilarious, sympathetic, with no excuses mentality bc I have laughed and cried and DO/DONE MY CARDIO while watching your content. 💕
416kg!!!! Holy sweet baby Jesus!! I.. I can’t.. that’s insane amount of weight on a human!! The stress on his organs and bones!! Holy.. crap!! 🥴 his body legit gave out! Damn!
I like to listen to the the audio of Michelle's videos while i walk my dogs in the mornings. But when the dogs are taking an extra long sniff break I will pull out my phone. I was very caught off guard by mini-Michelle. 😂😂
im a black girl and im overweight right now, and i just only recently broke out of the weird HAES mentality thay had me arguing with my doctor when he told me being almost 400 pounds at 15 wasnt normal. Im on a weight loss journey now -- just got out of bmi 40s! -- and our videos are super helpful and are steering me in the right direction LMAO thnk you!
Don't take this the wrong way, it's a genuine question but what does your skin colour have to do with your weight ? Is there a metabolism problem associated with colour and if so, is there anything you can do, for example, exercise which might increase your metabolic rate ? In any case, good luck with your weight loss journey❤👍
@@thegrinkvisionary All inspiration is good and Michelle is certainly inspiring, she inspires me too and I'm a white granny LOL. I hope your fitness journey continues to go well and that you too will be inspiring other girls with weight or just lack of fitness problems .... you go girl ! ❤
Lord, I'm a NURSE of almost 20 years and only drinking tea but what I've seen is making me kind of nauseous. Only 7 minutes in and my heart is already breaking. This situation and this WHOLE movement is so sad.
I don't understand why these people are not detained by the hospital for their safety. The mother should be charged with manslaughter as she enabled it.
Same reason why cigarette smokers or daily binge drinkers don't get detained. It's not an active self harm, it's a passive one. But, you can't force someone to accept help and change so it wouldn't work even if you could detain them. Obviously, or he wouldn't be dead after his admission.
@@shelbyj1433 You can smoke for 60 years before the cancer catches up with you but if you are over 900lbs you are going to die imminently unless there is an intervention. People with severe mental health don't want to accept help but are detained and treated if they are a risk to themselves or other people.
@@misswittank9224 becoming 900lbs is not a fast process. It took him decades to reach death just like with cigs. You can't be locked up for being fat or eating too much. Just like you can't be detained for making any other bad personal decision that is not illegal even if it's harmful. Unless you have an active plan to end your life or someone else's, you do not get sectioned. Period.
I am a 29 year old man who works in the construction industry, specifically I pour concrete. It’s getting harder to explain what I’m watching to my coworkers now that the mini verse has become cannon lol
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.porassss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
That started happening to me as well. I recently realised that it started when I stopped exercising, so I started exercising again and the urge of eating didn't stop, but my stress levels did go down, so I don't stress eat as much. May not be the answer for everyone, but wanted to share what worked the best for me. P.s. I think I should clarify that I don't go to the gym nor do I lift weights, I just started cycling and walking more, and even if I wanted to do more, it wouldn't be lifting weights 'cause I simply don't like that. If you decide to exercise try finding what works best for you.
The only thing to do is come up with healthy copying mechanisms. I think Michelle said in a video that she got into dolls as a hobby to stop thinking of food.
Until I found other ways to cope, I just bought things like blueberries or other low glycemic foods (usually apples because the crunchy calmed me faster) to eat under stress. But you will have to be deliberate about actually eating those😂
Hey, sorry if this sounds obvious, but maybe you could try getting rid of snack foods or making them harder to access? Or keep healthier options ready? Like cut vegetables and the like. I have the opposite problem (I lose my apetite when stressed) and having snacks with decent amounts of calories easily accessible everywhere really helped me. I figure doing the opposite might help you. :)
Find a beautiful trail to walk on. Listen to your favorite playlist while you walk. Journal afterwards. You can still have your treat, but just be mindful of your emotions and portion while eating 🥰
Omg you have miniverse of the pups!!! I know this is a sad story. I can't imagine getting to that point. I'm currently the biggest I've been minus pregnancy and I've been making changes I can control. Until I can bring my lazy ass to do the movement, it's the diet and beverage I can control. I make small changes like taking the stairs at work and parking away from the entrance to get some steps in. It's so sad to see people just throwing life away. And I'm not even at the top of where I could be. You always handle these things with grace Michelle and I appreciate even the morbid reminders we have to face sometimes. Keep up the amazing work, I love visiting your tinyverse
Mini Michelle is just taking over the channel, and I'm loving it😂 We should give Michelle another break, like about a month, and let Mimi M. fill in for her😤🤣
Parents like these need their own diagnosis; some sister diagnoses to Munchausen's. Also, how is it not murder? Mentally ill son being fed to death by his able-bodied mother. She was told she was killing him and she kept doing it. How is that not a form of murder...?
There is one. It’s called munchausen by proxy or factitious disorder imposed on another depending on if the person genuinely believes the person their caring for is ill or if they are doing it for person gain
I’ve been trying for 3 years to get on disability, for my genetic conditions I’ve had my entire life. I’d say it’s pretty tough, but not helped by people disabling themselves like this
Exactly! I've been battling for 5 years with 11 specialists letters of proclamation for my inability to work. I have mental health, autoimmune and spinal issues that really limit my quality of life and they basically said if I was heavier I could get it for obesity. Im like......😑😑😑😑😑
I have a terminal disease from medical malpractice, had to fight tooth and nail to prove I was disabled. And then you see people who've made themselves disabled because of addiction... And you want to be angry about it, they have no control because addiction. That logic however spits in the face of every person who is in recovery and resisting their addictions to be their form of sober.
Thank you for laying it on thick Michelle. I work at a hospital and this is the reality for most of these individuals. Saddening to see but people need to educate themselves.
your videos always hit hard. i’m 15 and a decent weight for my age (not overweight, i just have a big chest). but my stepdad is quite literally is addicted to food. and he’s made comments on me eating a lot. now i struggle with eating because i feel like im always eating too much. seeing videos like these, knowing my stepdad will probably end up like this, it kinda gives me hope for karma
25,000 calories a day. What the absolutely gigafucking hell. I'm trying to stick to 2000 calories a day because coming out of lockdown I weighed 155kg. I'm at 119.7kg now. Even when I was at my fattest, 25,000 calories was probably what I had in a week.
In my opinion, she wasn't a kind woman. She was a weak woman who never said NO to her son. She literally stuffed him like a Christmas goose and ended him.
Michelle with your videos I’ve seen that calorie counting is just a tool and not something to fear like I’ve been told for years now, and with using it to create a healthy deficit for myself I’ve already gone down 5 pounds in two weeks and am on track to be no longer considered obese by the end of the year. If not for your influence this would’ve taken me much longer and maybe not even happened, thank you so much for the content you make!
I currently just started my health journey. I decided that what worked best for me was to go plant-based because it was my healthiest option especially with my family having diabetes. I’ve lost quite a bit of weight and I feel super energized. Honestly, Michelle, your videos have really helped me with this choice because I’m reminded that I don’t wanna live in this ignorant bliss. I don’t want to live in denial. I know that I may not end up being twigged, but I at the very least live a healthy way, exercise, and try to just be happy in my skin. Michelle, you truly have become one of my inspirations for this change and I want to say thank you 🫶🏽. Happy to be a fan of yours.
Watching this while in the middle of a binge episode. I laugh, judge and feel all the guilt. Being aware of the need to lose weight and that you're your own enabler is just great 😒 in the past 4 months I managed to lose 13 kgs and gain 5, my greatest fear is not being able to control myself anymore and one day ending up like one of these people.
I wish you luck in your weight lose journey. There are gonna be hard times, like how you described in your comment, but if you won't give up, you will make it! I believe in you
You will never end up like this just from “eating too much.” If you are able to move and exercising regularly you will be fine. Getting to this point would require a huge amount of effort. He would sit for days, eat way more than his body could mange, and there was definitely a genetic and nurturing component. If you walk even like 30 minutes every other day, you will not end up like this. Will you be a size 6? No. But you won’t be unhealthy.
The craziest part about this kid is the fact that he could’ve just stop eating because he was so big the body would’ve ate the fat on his body instead, at 1000 pounds, it’s legit impossible to starve to death
He was more than 8 times my current weight. I'm trying to visualise 8 of me squeezed all together to make 1 of him and it's a nightmarish mental picture. Poor fella.
You want another example of a horrible addiction that is flaunted and emboldened - Being mega rich. Billionaires especially seem truly mentally unhinged.
“You can work toward health no matter your size” they love playing with semantics. They don’t mean accept your body *on your way* to health. No they mean be complacent with your current body and cosplay health
The mom should be tried for offing her son. She actively ignored the advice of the doctors and continued to bend over backwards to give her son the food he didn’t need. She offed her son because to save him it would make him a little uncomfortable. Now he is gone and she is free. It’s wrong. She enabled him to his grave and got away with it
She passed away some weeks before Sean did. Such a sad episode, he was literally a man-boy and did not know how to do anything for himself so when she died he was utterly lost. IIRC, his dad tried to help him somewhat in the weeks before he died.
The least you could do is FOLLOW mini Michelle on her 💥 NEW💥 IG since she ain’t eating paid! 👉🏽 instagram.com/mini_michelle90?igsh=anlzMXB4cmM2dnV5&

0:39 @Michellemcd543 😮 As a melanin-challenged chick, I feel it is MY responsibility to tell you I'm concerned about Barbie-Blacksploitation and your opening comments toward mini-Michelle. 😢
Many of my friends are Black Barbies who are underpaid, undervalued, and unionizing behind the scenes. So, my fellow McDaniel chick? I'm watching 👀 you. Treat your ppl right! I can't believe you're pampering yourself right in front of mini-Michelle.😢 I'm not a lawyer, but this injustice has inspired me to go to law school.
As a cynical Gen-Xer, I know I'll never have time to pay off the Student Loans, but I just need to see justice for mini-Michelle. Especially bc she's a fellow McD chick! How could you?!?😢😫
I kill me! 🤣😜 I'm here all week. Can we get a round of applause for your servers tonight? No need to DUI. The hostess will happily call u an Uber or taxi if you're fancy. I'll be selling cassette tapes after the show (don't judge me; I hv no production staff, nor budget). Come by and say "hi!"
Except you, fellow Ms. McDaniel. Your name's not on the list. But mini-Michelle is welcome. 😂 Well, I have law schools to apply to at age 50. It's gonna take some time for me to pass the Bar, but in a few yrs, I'm coming for you...🤨😉👋 -🌴 just me in Palm Springs 🌴
P.S. Laugh w me: IRL story. I'm so White, I'm "off-blue." My BFF is a Black chick who needs zero makeup. I need artificial color. At the MAC counter to buy the only foundation that doesn't turn me orange. Friend's bored. Til this happened...
Me: I need (foundation color).
Cute hispanic gay dude/MAC: Oh, honey! You're wearing the wrong color. It's far too light. That's why u look so pale! I mean... fair.
Me: I've been wearing this shade for 15 yrs. Trust a White Chick.
MAC Guy: Can I just show you the difference? I think you'll see... (disappears to get me "the right color")
Me (to friend): Sorry. This happens a lot. Now we hv to let this nice guy turn me orange before he'll go get the color I originally asked for.
Friend: White Chick problems?😂
MAC guy: (He comes back w a shade darker than mine; puts it on my jawline and did this): 😮
Me: See? I'm orange. Please get my shade?
MAC: I'm so sorry! I've never sold that shade before! You do know that's our lightest shade... (pauses)
Me: Go on...
MAC: Well, we hv a special edition shade for Kabuki theater, and your shade is one up from that.
BFF loses it. Just 🤣🤣🤣's. And she's a highly regarded attorney, so she usually can keep a poker face.😐
To this day, she asks if I need to touch up my Kabuki face before we go eat. 😂
PPS Screw law school. I'll just show BFF these discriminatory opening comments, and I'm sure she'll want the case...😂
Love your stuff. Gonna go actually watch now. Hope u see this Wall O' Text I built just for you and the Almighty Algorithm. Dedicated to mini-Michelle ❤.
Kabuki +1 out. 👋😁
I LOVE the dolls! The skits are soooo creative!!! Don't you dare listen to the haters and stop! Running to IG right now!🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♀️
No hating here, just curious when and why the doll thing started? Maybe I’m out of the loop. Are you ok Michelle? Big fan for years.

They sit there and say eating healthy is expensive while simultaneously eating enough to feed a family of 5 everyday. There’s no way you can’t afford healthy food
That boggles my mind. Meal prep a big ole salad and grill some chicken. That’s lunch for a few days. Make a frittata with lots of veggies, that’s breakfast for a few days, make some meatballs and zucchini noodles, that’s dinner for a few days. Buy chick peas and tahini and make hummus for a snack and slice some veggies. Then when that’s getting low, meal prep a few more days worth of food. I can feed myself and my 6’2, 200 lb husband for around $100 a week and I buy exceptional quality food. I buy 85% locally grown and sourced food and I don’t purchase convenience foods. Ingredients aren’t expensive, convenience foods are. I found that if I bought a box of cereal, my husband could eat that in 2 days just because it was here, so I don’t buy it and he snacks on whatever I made for us to snack on.
Right? That's always my first thought, like how are these people affording this??
I hate it- they talk about the “privilege of healthy eating” as if they can’t afford that food too, or like oats, rice, beans, etc aren’t cheap AF? I live on a budget bc I have to and I live off of fruits, veg, beans, rice, oats, etc - i eat what I can afford and it sure as hell isn’t fast food every day
Yeah, and don't forget they're oppressed!
To be fair, fresh fruit and veg are bloody expensivie. but frozen aren't that bad.
There is a reason why in Latin America "My 600 lb life" is called "Kilos mortales" :(
For english speakers, it means "deadly kilograms"
In italian the show is called "Vite al limite" (in english it should translate to "lives at (their) limit"?)
Jajaja funny not funny
English strikes again 😂
In my country its just called "dangerously fat" i think
The mother saying " we didn't feel comfortable putting him on such a low calorie diet." Like, oh yeah, only feel comfortable when you are killing him ig.
Right? The important thing shouldn’t have been her comfort; it should’ve been his life.
I cannot imagine feeding your child who is clearly dying of obesity 20,000 - 30,000 calories a DAY, which is more than the average person eats in a WEEK
I only eat like 10k a week. But I'm trying to loose weight
I just want to know how they can afford that! I highly doubt they are buying bulk raw ingredients and cooking at home to save money.
@@Rose-yt5hi even the salad was prepackaged..Mom needed a healthy chef bootcamp.
On a calorie restricted diet, 30k could last about a month. That's what's really nuts.

@@lisarae7823He might not feel anything there either. The nerves are constantly crushed under his weight. What an awful existence it must be.
Hell nah that shit was funny 💀
As an incurable cancer patient, ask me what I would do to be cured, or what I can do to extend my life, and I would do it. The fact that he is literally about to die, yet he still has a chance to live, but doesn’t want to do what the doctor is telling him, is just mind boggling, and honestly, frustrates and angers me to no end. And don’t get me started on his mother. . .
I believe his obesity was the cause of his lack of will to live. Weighing almost 1000lb at 26 years old, he must have been very large as a kid. Before he ever really experienced life, his world view had narrowed to a room or two, entertainment devices, and highly processed food. That was all he knew, and how appealing is an isolated, painful future.
What's so infuriating is that it didn't have to be that way.
I don't think he ever got to experience life and mature beyond a child's thought process. In his situation another person needed to force his health, unfortunately his own mother did this to him.
Learned helplessness. The door can be open in front of you and you still won’t go through it.
I'm sorry for your situation and sorry that nothing I can say or do will make it easier.
May every moment you have left be one worth cherishing.
That's it, he never knew any difference. I think that's the reason behind a lot of the fat acceptance people being utterly convinced exercise is always the most terrible thing imaginable. Even just walking. They have nothing to aim for, in their minds.
This grown man saying “I’ve had an ACCIDENT!” Like a 3 yr old is….no words! Literally no words!
I was wondering how, as a young man, he could ever recover from that kind of humiliation.
He's only a man on age, but mentally he's a little boy, didn't have a change to grow mentality, his mother made sure of that.
It'd be difficult for me if I had to haul 700 pounds just to get up and go to the bathroom too.
Fortunately I only weigh 190
@@justsaying8358 it's so sad what his mother did. How long was he like this? Did this poor guy ever get outside in his youth? 😢
@nerdycurls6253 didn't seem like it! He probably never got a chance to have a relationship nor ever have sex, probably never got to go do things teenagers do. She deprived him of everything!! She kept him hostage by keeping him that size. So sad
The saddest thing is as more of these larger people die, It still isn't stopping this fat acceptance movement. People need to get a reality check: carrying excessive amounts of fat is NEVER healthy.
The river denial runs deep...
These people are malicious. They cant even claim ignorance. For about a year i spent time in their online circles, i tried everything. I talked to them, i provided evidence, pure logic, i tried being nice, being mean, i even targeted the audiences of these activists. I BEGGED them to stop harming themselves. I was ridiculed, called horrible names, laughed at, banned, you name it. These people have been provided with everything required to make the right choice and they refused.
If i unleash a deadly virus and 100 people die, i go to prison. I think it should be the same if i convince 100 obese people on tiktok to eat themselves to death. These people should not walk free, its criminal

Sean’s story was so dark and depressing. His mother died suddenly, and his goal was not to live independently, but get into a nursing home. Right before he died, his life was basically just being slumped naked in a chair all day, never bathing, only getting up for pizza delivery with a blanket clutched in front of him. He died from complications stemming from a bad skin infection after numerous warnings from Dr. Now, so it was more the case that Sean just gave up on life. Really tragic. Also tragic that Mommy Dearest didn’t live to reap what she sowed.
Was this shown on 600 pound life where are they now? I'm not that far into that show and recently watched an episode of Sean there but everyone was fine in that episode.
@MelliKi2017 there is a lot of updates on the 600 lb life subreddit
@@RedPanda79 Thank you :)
Maybe this Mommy Dearest had her own Mommy Dearest that passed already? We can go on like this forever, it's always the momma and never the adult ass man
Yes he is an adult now, but he has been literary raised into this condition since childhood. You can say he himself didnt do enough but his mom molded him into that since he was a kid. The MAJOR guilt is on her.
I think you underestimate how hard it is to change once you have been raised a certain way. Not impossible of course but very difficult. Parents are still the first people responsible
At that size, Sean should've been immediately put into inpatient care and not sent home.
This should be criminalized. The mother knew she was killing him!
She's dead too

@@nicoleharrington9086doesn't stoped her from killing her child.
An entire box of sugar free jello is only 80 calories. She could’ve fed him ten boxes of jello a day and stay within 800 and keep him constantly eating. There’s always a way if you’re willing to work.
Sugar free jello and pudding is actually a great thing to keep around when losing weight. I keep some in my fridge when I want something sweet.
Amen.
Yeah but that gives him no nutrition. He could eat that inbetween meals. For meals he could eat eggs with veggies for breakfast, chicken with salad for lunch and fish or turkey and veggies for dinner.
@@tthettai yeah I can see that, but the cravings will not be as bad if they do actually get some proper nutrition.

Can i brag here? After 10 years of depression, anxiety and +24kgs later, I decided to go to a gym, with a trainer. It's been two weeks, I feel amazing, I have more energy than when I did when I was 24, anxiety is much lower, I want to do things! Every day. It's an amazing feeling. 1500kcal a day, gym twice a week, on other days bike or swimming pool. I already lost 2.5kgs
It was hard to finally get to doing all this, but it's more than worth it.

I have never experienced so much positive vibes, so much encouragement and support, so many kind words on the internet before. I would like to thank you, amazing strangers ♥️, each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart, for all the comments below. You are truly wonderful people, with beautiful hearts. I'm not gonna lie, my eyes started sweating from the overwhelming amount of support. Thank you once again, you are the best!♥️

It's gonna be a quick one, from the moment I've started going to the gym, eating 1500kcals per day, and living more actively the stats are as per below:
Chest: 117cm (-5cm)
Belly: 105.5cm (-1.5cm)
Arm: 32cm (-1cm)

Proud of you stranger 🥳❤
Go you! I have multiple mental health issues and I do find the physical activity every day really helps, be that gym, running, just going out and getting the steps in. I also had a personal trainer at the start of my health journey and it gave me that reason to go to the gym, and reassurance having someone there who could explain what to do. Glad that you are already feeling the benefits, and it only gets better I promise!
So proud of you. I also put on a lllooottt of weight lately and even going to the gym didn't seem to make a difference, then I started eating less and go to the gym 4 times a week and I can see my waist being more defined and my abs starting to appear. Lost about 3kgs but I can see muscles forming so the number on the scale isn't my priority as of now. Keep going we can so it. 💪🏽

Great work!
What’s so frustrating is that if his mother didn’t bring the food to him, he wouldn’t have been able to eat himself to death. She was culpable.
She died before him. But it was to late for him…
919 pounds is absolutely fucking crazy. That's about 8 times my weight!
Nearly 66 stone, 417kg.
About five obese men.
That’s like 7.5 copies of me

He's only 5x my size ...
....of course I am a 6' tall dude...
He’s 6 times my weight but I’m 6’0 😭
He's one of the most tragic cases on the show. This guy never had a real chance. His mom functionally disabled him. Was not at all surprised when I heard he passed away right after the where are they now update.
His mother passed first, then him. Such a sad thing
That's so sad, poor man never had a chance to actually live his life...I hope he didn't pass in pain at least.

You’re absolutely right for having no sympathy for the mother. It’s her job to make sure her son has healthy habits and can take care of himself, but because of her enabling he can’t. I feel for him for having a father that mistreated him. He was failed by both of his parents and it’s truly sad to see
The thing is that Fat acceptance people would probably say "that's an extreme case" but these people on my 600LB life were once just 200 pounds over weight, they were once just eating 2 cheese burgers a day. It escalates! It gets out of control and quickly! That's the cautionary tale this show is trying to tell.
We've seen some fat acceptance members gain significant weight and even die from complications. It's so sad. We're not being hateful. It drives me crazy when fat people say "you don't actually care about our health" I can't speak for everyone but I can speak for me and I DO care about people's health and quality of life.
fat acceptance is fine to a degree, as long as someone is living a normal life with no health issues correlating to their weight, that's a healthy size for them. if they struggle to walk or do other basic life activities, that's not a healthy size
@@julie-18 I don't know I don't think anyone should accept being unhealthy if they can help it.
I watched my mom eat herself into diabetes when I was in middle school. I was a kid so I didn’t really deal with it in a healthy way but all of it came from watching someone eat themselves to death and not knowing wtf to do about it.
Luckily she got help and is doing pretty well, still overweight but I rather have that than nothing.

@@shelbyj1433no! That wasn’t my intention, I just felt frustrated that I set in a long journey to recover, part of the recovery process was to accept that my eating habits were not healthy. And there are so many people out there who just see it as eating too much, instead of food addiction/ binge eating disorder, just like an*rexia isn’t a diet, it’s a disorder.( again, my English is not great, so I hope this is understandable:) thank Gd I’m in my healthy weight range and getting my menstrual cycle and feeling great! Food is no longer an enemy to me, but these videos can trigger my old frustration again.
At my highest weight of 435 lbs, the fact that I was only 165 pounds from being on that show. The thought of it alone is hard to process, but I busted my ass to lose 227 pounds naturally so far. It's going to be hard, you're gonna want to give up, but you don't, you keep going.

Amazing work! I hope you keep kicking butt and taking care of yourself, even when it's hard :)
Good job thats such an impressive feat ❤

I don’t understand how people get that big. I am 20 lbs overweight because of depression and I HATE my body right now. I hate the way I feel. I hate the extra weight under my chin, my stomach and my legs rubbing together 🤢
I don’t understand how people can live overweight
Double it and yuo have me 4 years ago. Hated it and I am glad I changed. Key was food diary though because I had no single clue about nutrition and was in denial, too until I hit the 80 kg mark.
Some of us were never really healthy weight to begin with. Other people use food for other things and just grow used to it (it's easier in each individual moment to deal with it even if it'd be easier overall to fix it, especially when it's a coping mechanism causing it). People just incorporate new aches and pains into their normal, often only getting a wake up when they don't experience it for a brief moment.
For context: I've never been in that large, but I was where I could drop half my weight and just get into the officially healthy range.
Nobody can convince me "celebrating your body" means not taking care of it. Eat healthily most of the time. Exercise enough. You don't have to do anything extreme.
Back in my day it meant not being jealous for other people’s features, like freckles or eye color. Or embracing things like wrinkles or deformities. Not… *this*
I been walking 5 days a week for 2 months
Started weight 274
Current weight 246
I feel much better
Sleep good too
Congratulations!
Congrats!!! Keep going!! Protein fills you up much more than carbs. Try to get more in your diet ❤.
Good job keep going 🎉
I love walking, it it so underrated. On days when I get a long walk in I feel great.
Great work, keep it up!
My mom was dying from being morbidly obese. She has had to get so many surgeries from the damage. She's also a Narcissist and lives in denial. Blames everything and everyone for her issues. And hates me for being Slim and would starve me as child so i would sneak food and eat it very quickly when no one was around. And i had to help bathe her instead of worrying about myself as a kid.
I am sorry to hear that.
I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, I really hope you're doing better now
What's eating gilbert grape
I hope you're doing well with your own health 🙏 physically and mentally, that sounds incredibly difficult.
I feel that. I have an obese narcissistic mother as well. My mother is working towards becoming morbidly obese. I never had to bathe her. Give it another decade or two and her hips give out like her mother's did and she'll need the help. I don't think she starved me on purpose. I think that was just a consequence of being poor. I would sneak and hide food for later as often as I dared. And I wouldn't miss a chance to eat. If food was offered it was taken happily. She would make me feel so gross for being naturally thin. Comments about my clothes and hobbies. She always wanted me to wear skinny jeans and tight shirts so she could live vicariously through me. Her exact words once were, "If I had a body like yours, I'd wear skinny jeans and leggings all the time." I don't care for them. I sit on my feet so the denim cuts into my skin. She wanted me to be a cheerleader because that's what she would of done if she was thin in middle and high school. Nevermind I didn't have the interest. Nor did we have the money so it was a short lived delusion. Yet she'll look me in the eyes and tell me she never did anything to tear my sister and I down. Narcissistic moms are the worst. I can't wait for my baby brother to grow up and realize she sucks, so I can cut contact. I hope you can get away from your mother as well. I empathize with your plight.
Regarding the tiktok near the end, you can DO healthy activities at any size and that should be encouraged. The trouble lies when people think that that suddenly MAKES them healthy.
"I thought about working out for ten minutes straight, that counts as my cardio for the week, right?"
Exactly. It's idiotic when they make straw man arguments as if a normal person is angry at a fat person for being at the gym. Doing healthy things does not equate to being healthy. A person who habitually misuses drugs but also brushes their teeth and eats an appropriate amount does not mean they should be considered healthy.
Not healthy activity is healthy for morbidly obese people though like lifting, running, jumping...
Best is standing up regularly, walking and activity within water like swimming.
@BlackCroft666 That's true! Obesity is a medical condition and should be treated as such, there are exercises and activities that are better than others depending on each individual and their health
Last week, I was eating at a frozen yogurt place and this family came in. The father and mother were fit, and they had big muscles; on another hand the child, about 5 years old, was the biggest 5 year old I had ever seen. It just pisses me off that parents give kids whatever they want just because they don’t want to hear their whining and tantrums. It’s literally a part of parenting that everyone should learn to deal with. My parents always controlled what I ate and had a treat every once in a while, I turned out the perfect weight. How is this not seen as a form of neglect? CPS should be on their ass.
Tbf, if they were muscular, they probably tend to hold body fat as well but weight lift. They probably eat a similar diet to their kid, it's just being stored as fat instead of muscle. I've seen a lot of fit people who don't eat a very nutritious diet. Though I agree that too many parents are lazy with what they feed their kid. My toddler eats healthier than I do and why would I even introduce him to things like sweets and fried chicken if I don't want him eating those things
Just did 30 minutes on my elliptical while watching The Cynical Dude, now on my treadmill watching Mini Michelle.
These video keep me motivated!
I've gone from 254 lbs to 238 lbs since the end of May.
Very impressive! Keep going! You can totally do it! I was once 186 pounds and a whopping 41% body fat. I’m down to 150 that seems high, but I have muscles I didn’t have before…body fat is 25%! I wanted to give up and sometimes I just do not want to go to the gym and want to eat a whole damn pizza. But I keep pushing.
Keep it going!❤
Keep it up!! I love the cynical dude ‼️ Great man.
20-30k calories a day is just unbelievable 😮😮😮 seriously is that even possible!?
As a recovering binge eater, it is completely possible. I slipped up yesterday and when I totaled up my "little slip" it came out to 10K. In my past this would normally be about 15-20K days and would happen 2-4 times a week. Yesterday was my first binge in three months. It takes a long time to change a behavior. I even have supportive friends. I can't imagine changing this with an enabler feeding me.
@@Lukkaboc just remember that we all slip sometimes and that just means we're humans. If you've got this far you can do it ❤❤❤
@@LukkabocAs an ex-binger I know you can do it. Little slip ups happen but it’s okay don’t give up
Since being a 26 year old who weighs over 900 pounds is possible, so is the enormous caloric intake that made him that size.
my dad owns a bakery and I bake, I eat less than that a week
I think one argument, which seems to be lost in all overeating shows/vids is how poor nutrition influences the brain and mood. Our thinking machine needs proper food and starving it of good stuff, while overdoing the bad one, is terryfying. I wonder how many people overlook their diet as a reason for mood swings and depression.
Absolutely! What you eat influences gut bacteria (which ones you have and what they/you crave), hormones, energy levels, sleep. That's why it's so tricky! And also why many people are convinced they just genetically crave different foods than others when much comes down to your diet of the past weeks, months, years. Sadly, what you eat also is reflected in your taste buds. Once you stop eating sugar for a few months, you'll notice how bad most candy tastes for example and you now appreciate the natural subtle nuances of veggies, that you could hardly taste before. It's crazy
Yes we don’t talk enough about how the emotional fragility, helplessness and immaturity you see is probably caused by the processed, highly addictive foods. And most of these folks have been obese most their lives
@@existentialgamer9206 exactly! I saw this covered in shows about children (nannies helping parents), and they made a point to fix children's diet along with dynamic at home. They would get absolutely chaotic children to calm down and sleep well at bedtime through this small changes. But we forget this works for adults too.
I certainly did. When I was a 300lb sugar addict I thought I needed immense psychological help but turns out 90% of it was due to my diet and weight. Once I lost the weight and fixed my diet and got more active the majority of my mental and emotional health problems disappeared

One thing that is not talked enough in those shows is how everybody around those people are ALSO very overweight, but because there's one that is worse that everybody, they feel like they are not that bad, but get them alone and it's pretty clear that everybody in there have a problem and they are influencing each other in those bad habits.
You beat me to it. The enabling mother is so extremely overweight as well.
Sean could've lived for an entire YEAR without eating anything. The record for the longest medically documented fasting period is 382 days, set by Angus Barbieri, a Scottish man who fasted from June 14, 1965 to June 30, 1966. Barbieri was 27 at the time.
Sean was bigger than Angus and we have better medical tech today. He could have beaten the world record and still be alive. Instead his mom abused him until he died.
Looked him up: amazing! And he kept his healthy weight afterwards too.
Sean is too young to be like this. Shame on his mother. Instead of this young man getting some therapy, she feeds him to death.
Sadly he died in 2019
Both of them needed therapy…too late now.

One of the greatest gifts my parents gave me was to model great behaviour when it came to listening to doctors. They provided a perfect example of this in many ways. For example, when my dad had a heart health crisis and was told to change the way he ate, he immediately changed his diet. The first day he was out of the hospital he changed everything about the food he consumed and mum changed, too. Told to exercise more. They did it. What is the point of paying for advice and then ignoring it. Lunacy to do that!
My family fights with doctors or just doesn't see them. My family think they are 'normal' and not sick.
5:18 -“His whole body is fat phobic” 😂
Girl, I love you! You make me laugh my ass off!
The fact that he was mobile at 920 lbs is insane. I dont think I know anybody that could walk around with an additional 600-700 pounds strapped to them. Youd have to be a professional strongman to move that kind of weight.
"This scale ONLY goes up to 800pounds"
Dr Now didn't have to phrase it like that... But he did. My guy was taking no survivors that day
Dr. Now ignores that "do no harm" part of being a Dr 😂
Dr: "how is the nutrition?"
Enabler: "good, good.."
That actually made me angry. Blatantly lied, and her child is now gone because of her enabling.
If this weren’t a reality show, one of the first things they would do is separate the patients from their enablers.

The sad reality of fat acceptance. I am glad you remind people of the outcome if one doesn't take care of themselves.
Being obese isn't healthy. I've been struggling with my weight my entire life. It took having a heart attack last fall then being stuck in a hospital for 4 months for me to accept that your weight is not a game.
26 years old? Omg. And he broke the scale? Wow.
I think it’s because of his age why he was alive at that size.
Bruh… did she really say 2500 calories a day? That’s what I eat on days I’m being good 😂
The math ain’t mathing.
I wonder what would happen if I had that everyday. I usually have 1460 calories or less. What do you usually have?
Same😂
More like 25,000💀
I eat like 700 calories a day (900
If I’m really hungry )
That's maintanence for me on recovery days. And I'm currently on a bulk/recomposition phase.
Sean was the most memorable person featured on this show because he shat himself in the waiting room of Dr. Now’s office. It lives in my head rent free occasionally
I recently watched an Alan Roberts video where a 6 year old kid was morbidly obese. She struggling to breath and climb the stairs on the playground. It was really sad and made me angry. I hope this country gets a grip on this soon because now really young kids have to deal with the consequeces of HAES and at risk of early death because of pure stupidity.
That’s horrific… poor kid.
I was at a water park with my 1yo last month, and there was another 1yo who looked like a bowling ball. Her mom and sister had to move her. Otherwise, she just sat and looked around, I felt so bad for that baby. Her mom was also overweight. Her sister had a belly but was energetic and active. I'm sure she would be a lot bigger if she weren't. My heart broke for the little ones.
Michelle, I would like to say I am a 26 y/o fatty Ms. Fat-fat and your content has pushed me the furthest I've been in soooo long.
I started watching you when I was at the heaviest I've ever been in my entire life 151+kg (the scale couldn't weigh me either) and I started my weight loss journey watching a lot of you and similar girlies my size trying to lose weight. By the end of that year, I maintained around 127 kgs and planned to keep going with the weight loss. Then I had a traumatic event happen and ballooned up to to 142kg June of last year. But through watching your content picking the pieces of myself back up I am proud to say I am down to 116kg now and still GOING STRONG.
Thank you so much for bringing hilarious, sympathetic, with no excuses mentality bc I have laughed and cried and DO/DONE MY CARDIO while watching your content.

Don't take this the wrong way, it's a genuine question but what does your skin colour have to do with your weight ? Is there a metabolism problem associated with colour and if so, is there anything you can do, for example, exercise which might increase your metabolic rate ?

I don't understand why these people are not detained by the hospital for their safety. The mother should be charged with manslaughter as she enabled it.
Same reason why cigarette smokers or daily binge drinkers don't get detained. It's not an active self harm, it's a passive one. But, you can't force someone to accept help and change so it wouldn't work even if you could detain them. Obviously, or he wouldn't be dead after his admission.
@@shelbyj1433 You can smoke for 60 years before the cancer catches up with you but if you are over 900lbs you are going to die imminently unless there is an intervention. People with severe mental health don't want to accept help but are detained and treated if they are a risk to themselves or other people.
She died before him…
@@misswittank9224 becoming 900lbs is not a fast process. It took him decades to reach death just like with cigs. You can't be locked up for being fat or eating too much.

... 20k calories a day.... what... how... how is that even...
Right? That's like a week's worth of calories for the average person 😞
forreal... A few months ago I had a really bad food day and ate 6K throughout the day, it started coming back up around 2pm 😂
i used to struggle with binging and 4k in a day was my rock bottom… i’m trying to imagine 20k
Even 2,800 sounds impossible how can you shove that much food down your throat
sodas/juices/koolaids.
Michelle, do you have any advice for avoiding stress eating? That's my biggest hurdle right now. When I'm stressed, my first thought is of food.
That started happening to me as well. I recently realised that it started when I stopped exercising, so I started exercising again and the urge of eating didn't stop, but my stress levels did go down, so I don't stress eat as much. May not be the answer for everyone, but wanted to share what worked the best for me.
P.s. I think I should clarify that I don't go to the gym nor do I lift weights, I just started cycling and walking more, and even if I wanted to do more, it wouldn't be lifting weights 'cause I simply don't like that. If you decide to exercise try finding what works best for you.
The only thing to do is come up with healthy copying mechanisms. I think Michelle said in a video that she got into dolls as a hobby to stop thinking of food.
Until I found other ways to cope, I just bought things like blueberries or other low glycemic foods (usually apples because the crunchy calmed me faster) to eat under stress. But you will have to be deliberate about actually eating those😂
Hey, sorry if this sounds obvious, but maybe you could try getting rid of snack foods or making them harder to access? Or keep healthier options ready? Like cut vegetables and the like.
I have the opposite problem (I lose my apetite when stressed) and having snacks with decent amounts of calories easily accessible everywhere really helped me.
I figure doing the opposite might help you. :)
Find a beautiful trail to walk on. Listen to your favorite playlist while you walk. Journal afterwards. You can still have your treat, but just be mindful of your emotions and portion while eating 🥰
Omg you have miniverse of the pups!!! I know this is a sad story. I can't imagine getting to that point. I'm currently the biggest I've been minus pregnancy and I've been making changes I can control. Until I can bring my lazy ass to do the movement, it's the diet and beverage I can control. I make small changes like taking the stairs at work and parking away from the entrance to get some steps in. It's so sad to see people just throwing life away. And I'm not even at the top of where I could be. You always handle these things with grace Michelle and I appreciate even the morbid reminders we have to face sometimes. Keep up the amazing work, I love visiting your tinyverse

Parents like these need their own diagnosis; some sister diagnoses to Munchausen's. Also, how is it not murder? Mentally ill son being fed to death by his able-bodied mother. She was told she was killing him and she kept doing it. How is that not a form of murder...?
There is one. It’s called munchausen by proxy or factitious disorder imposed on another depending on if the person genuinely believes the person their caring for is ill or if they are doing it for person gain

I’ve been trying for 3 years to get on disability, for my genetic conditions I’ve had my entire life. I’d say it’s pretty tough, but not helped by people disabling themselves like this

I have a terminal disease from medical malpractice, had to fight tooth and nail to prove I was disabled. And then you see people who've made themselves disabled because of addiction... And you want to be angry about it, they have no control because addiction. That logic however spits in the face of every person who is in recovery and resisting their addictions to be their form of sober.
Thank you for laying it on thick Michelle. I work at a hospital and this is the reality for most of these individuals. Saddening to see but people need to educate themselves.
I just had a baby on Saturday and I could barely wipe my own ass from the 35 pounds I gained. I could not even fathom having to live like this.
One minute in and I'm already not regretting getting up at 7am.
your videos always hit hard. i’m 15 and a decent weight for my age (not overweight, i just have a big chest). but my stepdad is quite literally is addicted to food. and he’s made comments on me eating a lot. now i struggle with eating because i feel like im always eating too much. seeing videos like these, knowing my stepdad will probably end up like this, it kinda gives me hope for karma
25,000 calories a day. What the absolutely gigafucking hell.
I'm trying to stick to 2000 calories a day because coming out of lockdown I weighed 155kg. I'm at 119.7kg now. Even when I was at my fattest, 25,000 calories was probably what I had in a week.
The mom was literally killing her son with kindness.
😂😂😂😂
In my opinion, she wasn't a kind woman. She was a weak woman who never said NO to her son. She literally stuffed him like a Christmas goose and ended him.
That wasn’t kindness, but codependency and selfishness.
Michelle with your videos I’ve seen that calorie counting is just a tool and not something to fear like I’ve been told for years now, and with using it to create a healthy deficit for myself I’ve already gone down 5 pounds in two weeks and am on track to be no longer considered obese by the end of the year. If not for your influence this would’ve taken me much longer and maybe not even happened, thank you so much for the content you make!
I am so happy for you. You can do it! A healthy life is fun life. 😊
I currently just started my health journey. I decided that what worked best for me was to go plant-based because it was my healthiest option especially with my family having diabetes. I’ve lost quite a bit of weight and I feel super energized. Honestly, Michelle, your videos have really helped me with this choice because I’m reminded that I don’t wanna live in this ignorant bliss. I don’t want to live in denial. I know that I may not end up being twigged, but I at the very least live a healthy way, exercise, and try to just be happy in my skin.
Michelle, you truly have become one of my inspirations for this change and I want to say thank you 🫶🏽. Happy to be a fan of yours.
Watching this while in the middle of a binge episode. I laugh, judge and feel all the guilt. Being aware of the need to lose weight and that you're your own enabler is just great 😒 in the past 4 months I managed to lose 13 kgs and gain 5, my greatest fear is not being able to control myself anymore and one day ending up like one of these people.
I wish you luck in your weight lose journey. There are gonna be hard times, like how you described in your comment, but if you won't give up, you will make it! I believe in you
You will never end up like this just from “eating too much.” If you are able to move and exercising regularly you will be fine. Getting to this point would require a huge amount of effort. He would sit for days, eat way more than his body could mange, and there was definitely a genetic and nurturing component.
If you walk even like 30 minutes every other day, you will not end up like this. Will you be a size 6? No. But you won’t be unhealthy.
The craziest part about this kid is the fact that he could’ve just stop eating because he was so big the body would’ve ate the fat on his body instead, at 1000 pounds, it’s legit impossible to starve to death
He was more than 8 times my current weight. I'm trying to visualise 8 of me squeezed all together to make 1 of him and it's a nightmarish mental picture. Poor fella.
Kind of feel bad for him starting to stand up. How many of us could stand up with an extra 750lbs on our back.

Great, sensible video like always.
The mom should be tried for offing her son. She actively ignored the advice of the doctors and continued to bend over backwards to give her son the food he didn’t need. She offed her son because to save him it would make him a little uncomfortable. Now he is gone and she is free. It’s wrong. She enabled him to his grave and got away with it
She passed away some weeks before Sean did. Such a sad episode, he was literally a man-boy and did not know how to do anything for himself so when she died he was utterly lost. IIRC, his dad tried to help him somewhat in the weeks before he died.
