The part when she said she was too busy to do the liquid diet??? Drinking a shake or some bone broth how is that more work than cooking your tilapia with broccoli? This woman is such a deeply disturbed addict that she cannot even admit to herself what’s going on here. She will be dead by the time her daughter is 10.
The sad thing is that if she REALLY was concerned for her daughter, she would face the hard truth that she probably won't live to see her daughter graduate from high school. This woman is her own worst enemy - in the words of Pogo "We have met the enemy and he is us." But she will no doubt simply delude herself about her chances of dying - very likely suddenly - from an obesity-related incident as it seems this has been working for her to date.
Yeah. I hate it when people use their kids as an excuse for why they can’t take care of their own health (…and won’t try to be a good healthy role model for their kids, and won’t even try to live long enough to see their kids through to adulthood). Can you imagine…she’s going to leave her kid an orphan, and that child is going to watch this someday and see how her mom blamed HER as the reason why she had to stay on this path to an early grave.
Wow congratulations! 🎉🎆🎊 Nicotine is a hard thing to quit. I never smoked or vaped, but a job I worked, years ago, had free Nicorette gum we could try; and I ended up liking it WAY too much. Even the generic is expensive when that job site closed down and I was buying the gum.
This is what kills me about some of these people. They claim that their schedule is "SO TIGHT" that all they have time for is fast food! Excuse me, but this is NOT the 1970s! Almost every fast food joint serves salads. Better yet, almost every grocery store sells ready made salads! You can buy grilled chicken strips! You can get tuna in a pouch! Being busy isn't an excuse to eat badly! Again, Leneatha just didn't want to do right.
Tunafish is great for you, especially if it is wild caught and you don't have it more than 2-3 times a week because of the mercury issue. I stretch my 1/2 pound tunafish salad over three days (and obviously eat other things as well.) Learn how good salmon is and have it once a week , even if it's a small piece. Or add fish oil supplements to your diet if you hate fish, or have lots of mushrooms and eggs.
You are so right! The reason is they are addicted to fast food and the entire process that surrounds it, buying it, sitting and eating it without even going to the table, the fast clean up. Beyond the addiction and the habit sits ignorance! Get one willing person in your circle who knows the local grocery store and actually shope there. Go with them, see what's available for quick meals.
As said before: *Even* if the *only* food in the universe is fast food: Stick. To. The. Diet. 1200 calories is 1200 calories. Yet, SO many of them go "Welp, guess all I can do is body slam 9001 calories of cheeseburger!". But: No. You may have *one* burger. Then you are at the limit. Still hungry? Well, better start pouting.
@@LoveMusic-pd5iz A rotisserie chicken is usually available or buy things like chicken tenders that you can sauté in minutes. Even if you feel the need to lightly bread them it is still better for you. Or things like thin pork chops or skirt steak which need to be cooked really fast (although it's best to marinate the skirt steak for up to two hours so it's tender.). I cook up rice and have it on the side for two days. What is so hard about washing two pots and pans? I also buy precooked beans that only need to be warmed and are ready to eat and canned chickpeas that can be pan sautéed in olive oil in four minutes. (Try adding chopped fresh rosemary, garlic, coarse black pepper and salt to the chickpeas and don't cook them on a really high heat as olive oil shouldn't be heated above medium.)
I haven’t finished the whole video yet but I am so impressed that at her size she’s had the same job for 23 years. Most at her size give up and collect disability.
She really does have a tremendous amount of determination and more will power than she realizes. I hope she is able to turn some of that to caring for herself.
but didn't that plate of cold dry maccas look appertizing tho ... i jest ... but seriously that plate of stodge would have had me reevaluating my choices😒
The level of respect and care Dr. Now can show is amazing. He could have shut her down at any point but he lets her have time to ramble until she calms down. So yeah, super embarrassing lol Dr. Now is a model professional.
She seems to have a very distorted perception of her eating habits and what is normal. I think a contributing factor is that the program she is entering is ALSO not about normal eating habits, but another extreme - which is necessary after bariatric surgery. By not knowing what is normal, she will most likely never be able to correct her perception. It makes some sense to me considering where she is coming from, despite it being frustrating.
I don't think Leneatha realizes that her daughter will one day look back at this episode after her mom passes away, and wonder why her mom used her child's asthma as an excuse to not lose weight. I feel bad for that future grown woman.
I was thinking same thing as you. Using her daughter's asthma and doctor appts as the main excuse to not doing the weight loss program. She keeps saying she has to put her daughter first BUT if your health starts to deteriorate and you either cannot physically care for her anymore or worse if you pass away from complications due to obesity, how is that going to help your daughter? She's very young and will need you for many more years, hopefully you will realize this in time. You can't take care of her if you are no longer here.
Not to mention that it looks like her daughter is headed towards the same fate with the bad eating habits being pushed on her. She looks to be a little overweight, eating McDonald's nuggets and is only 4 years old.
@@JudeTavonFenwick Seen it before many times. She thought she could flop some ropes around for 5 minutes and then get rolled straight into surgery, she gave up after that weighing because it turned out to be much harder than initially thought, then just wanted to get back to her life and pray to God for weight loss instead becuase that's easier.
There was an obese guy in my town years ago. He ended up basically living in his old Dodge Ram. The front drivers seat was removed & he sat in the backseat to drive. The day he died (around 50 yo) my niece was working at the ER when he was brought there by his brother in the bed of a pickup, in the rain. The staff couldn't get him out & that's where he died. The doctor on duty estimated he weighed 1,000 lbs.
Wow, dying homeless and incapacitated was my nightmare when I was obese. Poor guy 😟 When I was 20, age 50 seemed like age 100 -- impossibly far away -- and I didn’t expect to live to be 30. When I turned 30, I got a shirt with a picture of an old, beat-up truck basically held together with Bondo and duck tape, and the caption: _"If I knew I was going to live this long, I would've taken better care of myself."_ 😂 So now I do!
42:28 Sean’s smile watching this little girl and knowing how much he wants to be a dad melts my heart. I know when he is a father he is going to love them more than anything ❤
Around the 45:00 mark, when Leneatha says work is why she rescheduled her appointment, don’t forget, she works somewhere with access to a scale that goes to 600lbs, so unlike most, she’d be able to quickly tell (and stay on track), if she were actually losing any weight.
I really wanted to like her, but arguing with Doctor Now and acting like she knows it all while losing NOTHING? I can’t. Her daughter was so precious though!
Dr Now seems to object to using food trackers and yet he has a specific calorie count in mind (1200 calories) and also wants them to eat low carb and high protein. I don't see how they can do that without some way to keep track of all those things over the course of the day, and a food tracker does the math automatically. The alternative would be to give a list of possible meals with exact instructions, like the exact size of pieces of meat or measured volume of other foods. But to expect chronic overeaters to be able to magically eyeball portion sizes seems unrealistic.
If I was her sister, I would’ve got up, said she’s delusional and walked out. You’re not wasting my time LYING to your doctor. Some people just want to be perpetual victims and I feel zero sympathy.
The fact that she uses her daughter as an excuse to quit the program really makes my blood boil! & if something is important enough to you, you will make it a priority and find time to do it! She’s just not there yet. I do wish her the best even tho she had my blood pressure up the entire episode.
Also, eating less doesn't take any extra time or money. It saves money, time, and effort. So it's all just BS when they say that they don't have time and energy to focus on weight loss.
@@christiegreenwood2642 It takes me extra time and money cause I gotta buy and cook things that count as 'less'. After all, eating one McDonald's cheeseburger instead of 5 might be an improvement, but I'll end up probably breaking eventually from the hunger. Instead I invest time and money into tasty, but lower calorie/more nutritious options than I ate before.
I worked with a large woman with Leneatha’s accent, but was was fun. If anyone commented on her weight she’d exclaim “Sugar, one of these days the famine’s gonna come and y’all be pitiful starving, but I got enough storage to last months!”
I hardly ever comment on any video. But I have to comment on yours. I love your commentary. Your full of comedy and positive feedback even commenting on your own weight loss history. If you didn't do that it would've took me more time to realize you have a weight problem. Cause I can't tell like that looking at you. I think your a great person and I'm a new subscriber. I love what you put out and how you compare yourself to other people on their journey. Keep doing what your doing. Most respect ❤
There are ways to control your hunger. You can start eating large amounts of fresh vegetables sauteed in olive oil and garlic with fresh herbs to make them tasty. Even try eating a whole head of cauliflower sautéed in olive oil and garlic and tell me if you're still hungry in three hours. Have hard boiled eggs and cold chicken and premixed salads on hand or boiled shrimp with cocktail sauce. Get fresh cole slaw or better yet make it yourself with pre sliced cabbage and carrots or have tunafish and seafood salad ready to go or peanut butter on just one piece of bread. (Multigrain whole bread with seeds is very nice with peanut butter.) Try adding celery seed and more salt and pepper to egg and tuna salad to make them taste better. Some hunger is just getting over the sugar and high carb and salt addictions and it has nothing to do with actual hunger.
@@karilnowak7962absolutely great advice!! For my hunger cravings (I’m getting into working out and wanna maintain a decent deficit for cardio and I’m doing weight lifting too but I have a bit of fat so I’m not too concerned with adding a caloric surplus atm) I have boiled eggs and carrot sticks! I sprinkle some lemon pepper on the eggs and I just like the crunch of carrots so I don’t use dressings which helps cut down unnecessary calories. Carrots are my chips now lol, the crunchiness helps.
@@karilnowak7962another “meal” I eat is also tuna and green beans 🤣 just mix it all up, add lemon juice and garlic salt and heat it up. Idk it’s so tasty to me.
Hey Sean!!!! How are you doing today!! I hope you’re doing well!! I went to the doctor yesterday and he said I lost enough weight to be taken off my high blood pressure meds!!❤😊 I never thought I’d see the day when I would be able to get off those!! And yes, you are apart of my inspiration!! So, thank you!!!!
She’s not ready to diet. She knows she needs to lose weight, and she talks a lot of talk, but when she couldn’t get immediate weight loss surgery, she just set herself up to fail. Like a lot of Dr Now’s patients, it’s one excuse after the other until eventually they can say “this doesn’t work for me” and happily go back to overeating. Only when you take full responsibility for yourself, and make your weight loss your priority - whatever it takes and no matter how long it takes - can you really start to lose weight.
180 for a girl in the 90s+2000s is not a skinny kids dream. Having a belly was just not OK back then. Celebrities would eat a meal and magazines would guess if they were pregnant or not.
I LOLed at this 😂 I’m 5’ 10, weighed between 170-190 as a teen in the late 90’s. By the standards of the day I was so fat that I wasn’t even considered female by my peers.
Crazy how things have changed. I'm 5'2 and weighed between 140-150 in the early 90's. Everyone made fun of my big butt and thighs. I look back at pictures now, and damn, I looked good😂. I hated my body then. Now, after 3 children and many years of gravity, I would love to have that body back🤣.
She speaks like she is angry at everyone because she is fat. "People don't realise how hard it is for me to, etc," she said almost accusingly as though it was everyone's fault--- except her own.
I don't know if you read the comments but I wanted you to know I made my goal weight and the skin removal is next. You are inspiring.. thank you for being great and having a beautiful heart ❤️..
“I don’t know how I got this big”…then buys two plates full of food with sides included at a cafeteria and orders enough food at the drive thru for four people. ( not including her daughter’s food) “I don’t know how I got this big”. When you eat enough food for three to four people at every meal, that is how you get that big. How can they look at their multiple plates and not know they are over eating? It is very hard to feel sorry for some of these people especially when they have children that should be enough to get them to change.
She literally was ready to lose her mind when she glommed on to not eating for 4 years. He never said that. That tells me that she is a bit combative when she's faced with having to do something for herself that she doesn't want to do. It amazes me how many people think surgery will take care of the weight loss. Dr. Now making them lose on their own first is necessary, not just for showing their commitment, but weight loss and a healthy diet needs to become a way of life BEFORE THE SURGERY. Surgery is not the end. Sean knows that. Fortunately some Dr. Now patients get it. We love the success stories! Then, there are those who continue to live an angry and obese life. Dr. Now can't fix that part.
@@mistannybell5127it's like trying to tell an alcoholic that they don't need another drink. It's a similar "oh what, I can't ever drink again" hyper fixation and exaggerating out of desperation. Addicts hear "never again" and have a meltdown, even if all you said was slow down.
Ikr, I love her gorgeous skin, but colorism is a huge problem in many communities. I'm Polynesian/Japanese/Roma and when I was a little girl, two girls I knew were Black but one had very dark skin, and the other had very light skin; and although they were both pretty girls, they used to insult each other's color all the time. Kids can be vicious to each other.
I got pregnant at 26, and the sperm donor promised me the moon beforehand. When I told him I was pregnant, he offered to help me, but it was a trip to the abortion clinic. I told him where he could go, which pissed him off, but oh well! That was 25 years ago, and I have a stunning daughter who has excelled!! She thanks me all the time for giving her life!
That’s amazing and you raised a wonderful daughter . Don’t let a having shitty father ruin the blessing of a child. I bet she appreciates you more than you’ll ever understand.
OMG I ALSO GOT THE SAME ORDER FROM MCDONALDS WHEN I WAS 220lbs. Scary to know I was eating like a 600lber, I was on my way there. Luckily I've made a lot of changes and I'm now at 145lbs. Just 13lbs to go until I'm at my goal weight.
Maybe she's on the autism spectrum so hence why she took that comment literally. If she is on the autism spectrum that too could have had her being more arguementive.
That is such an accomplishment! Your family and friends must be so proud. I wonder if your hometown is going to have a parade for you because you were the first to post on this UA-cam video.
I got pregnant at 19 and kicked out of my house. I lived with the fathers grandparents for a while until we got married while I was still pregnant and then I moved in with him and his parents. we lived there until the baby was a year old before we were able to get our own shitty apartment at that time. It’s been 16 years now. Some men do stay.
@@brandicaudill8539 Soo men who leave only leave crappy women?? Maybe in your world, that *might* be true, but not in mine. I knew what Laneatha was going to say about her male relationships because it's more often than not the case for my community. My own mother *did not do anything to deserve* to be abandaned by her husband and father of her six children while he chose to cheat, make more kids and drink his life away, and not support ANY of us in our formative years. Mama did all of that. My mother, the good, non-crappy woman, took him back the last twelve years of his alcoholic life even though all of his children strongly disagreed . Think about what you say. Life isn't all polly anna for a lot of ppl.
You've said it all spot on Sean. She was getting on my nerves. She certainly didn't like what our Dr. Now had to say. Glad you're back buddy. Behave now.😂❤
Day 15 in the gym! My stamina has noticably improved already, and a workout just sets my day on such a good path! I'm making so many changes for my health since I found this channel, like the gym and becoming a pescatarian. This community is the very best for motivation. Thank you all, and especially Sean for spreading such positive vibes!!
I don't like KFC - it's all way too salty & the chicken is yuck. It was the first fast food I ever had, at abt 12yo, & I remember it being a lot better back then. Their hot chips are way too salty too. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
I love your candidness, sense of humor, amazing support, confidence and encouragement! You’re a good human Sean…you should be very proud of your journey and for just being you. Thank you for the smiles 😊
When I started watching this video I thought oh no there’s a guy commentating on it in the corner of the video and I usually hate those types of videos but I find you a breath of fresh air and funny at times, I’m really enjoying this. I started watching before work this morning and paused it till I got home cos I’m enjoying it, I’m gonna subscribe and browse through some more. I’ve recently lost weight myself from 14 stone to 9.5 stone. I need to go another stone and I’ll be happy. I did it with sheer willpower and I’m feeling great. I don’t know your back story but would love to know if you have like a video diary or something. Thanks for sharing x
I was the office manager for a group of doctors and also the medical assistant for one. One patient that I will never forget was a 28 y.o. man who came in for a physical. I did his lab work, chest X-Ray and EKG. Put him in the exam room to see the dr. Nicest looking,, healthiest looking young man you would ever want to see. He had been I. The exam room about 10 MI jets when the door burst open and he came out into the hall obviously in distress. He had hi inhaler in his hand. I got to him as he collar to the floor. I yelled for the Dr and 4 of them came running as I called 911. He was having g a severe asthma attack. I can tell you EVERYTHING possible was done to save him but he was gone by the time the ambulance arrived ed. He had 4 of the best doctors in our town working on him in very prepared medical facility and they couldn't save him. They that has been well over 25 years ago and I still remember everything a out it like it was yesterday. Needless to say we were all very upset for weeks afterward, so yeah, asthma is a big deal!
Wow, that's scary and sad! A really good friend of mine has asthma, and she's had to stay on top of it since childhood. I never knew how serious it was until we met and became friends.
@@Irishczech you know what’s reckless? Being overweight? You know who’s prone to injury? People who are obese? Guess who has bad joints? You guess it! People who are overweight. So if your argument is obese people shouldn’t do CrossFit I tend to agree, but it’s not the cross fit that’s the “reckless problem”. Just want to make sure that parts clear.
@@Seanofsteel Love your videos! If you want more recommendations I suggest: Brandon or Justin (success stories) And June where are they now episode. She was insufferable in this
She really thinks he's cracking jokes about eating four years worth of food, but like, she eats quadruple what any normal person eats every single meal and then some. What doesn't she get?
The purpose of weight loss surgery is to stop you from overeating. If Leneatha is swearing up and down that she is already not over eating then I guess she doesn’t need the weight loss surgery at all because it’s purpose is to solve a problem that she swears she doesn’t have.
Arthritis took over my back last August and I have mostly been sitting for a year. Had surgery in June and just got cleared to start pt. I gained about 10 lb this year - already overweight - but I'm basically starting from ground zero and it's so hard. At age 69 it's even harder. I keep tellung myself just one day at a time....
@@cherylanne6549 i believe in you ma’am!! You can definitely do it!! If I with heart failure can do it, so can you! I know its hard but I started with going up the stairs at first it was hard but now its so easy to do it! So I believe you can do it, keep trying but dont push ur self too much, but I know u can do it! Stay strong and remain positive 💪🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ikr, when I was obese I used to get "family sized" meals and eat it all myself. I did the math on one of my favorite orders and it was 7,000 calories! 😳 I even used to pretend to be reading off a list of what my family wanted, so the food place wouldn't know it was all for me 😂
@@zxyatiywariii8 And here I feel ashamed for simply ordering a little extra food! Like onion rings along with my fries at Burger King. Sometimes I would order the cheese sticks instead of the onion rings.
Having a meltdown about my weight today - currently 31 weeks pregnant with twins and nothing fits - this definitely improved my day, Hope your move went well and youre settling in ❤
Growing a single human is hard, and you're doing two! Try to give yourself some grace. I cannot fathom how hard it is. I have no doubt that you're doing the best you can!
You'll be fine. After the babies come you won't have time & the weight will come off. I gained over 100 lbs with my son.I lost it all plus some. 😊✌️🌻🌻 Best of luck & much joy with those babies.
It was an email from me, I kept gaining weight in times of extreme stress and was in a lot of pain. Was told my fight or flight system has been activated for such a long period of time that it shut my digestive system down. Got meds to wake it up again and all is okay now, weight going back down to normal. Stress can be a factor sometimes but I've seen in most of these videos it's delusional thoughts of what is being eaten that is a problem.
For anyone who thinks it's impossible, there is a guy who lived Great Britain who water fasted in a hospital for 1 year straight. He went from super morbidly obese to somewhere under 200 when he left. He dropped close to 275 pounds.
There are tons of doctors and health experts on YT now who explain how good it is for diabetics, and everyone to fast and give those insulin spikes from snacks a break. It's very good for a person and insulin levels. I have lost 65 lbs. If I am weak a day and go up to 2k cals I will fast the next day. I've lost 65 lbs over 2 yrs.
“I’m not a role model at all.” Sir, you understand the nuances of their struggles, know how to respect the journey they’re on (and yourself!) and give it an honest effort. I think you make a great role model. You’re doing great, your content is great and I think we’re all proud and appreciative of you!
I agree he's honest funny and supportive. He had the problem and did something about it and now he talks about it on his platform. Definitely a role model ❤
When i told my son's dad i was two months pregnant, he took off. He lied to me about moving to Illinois. He actually moved to Longmont. I found out from my friend about it and he said he lied to me to make the break up easier on the both of us. It may have been easier on him, he wasn't the one pregnant. My son didn't meet his dad until he was 16 yrs old.
Damn I’m sorry to hear that, these men can be horrible at times. He dodged his seed, his DNA 🧬 all he had to do was end it with you and still be in his child’s life.
Wow thank you 😊. I’m happy to try and help people with my own struggles. Thank you for supporting me and watching my videos. It means a lot cause I didn’t know if anyone would watch.
She actually put so much food on her daughter's plate that's all fried and said "take another bite you're disappointing me"😮. I used to have to eat big plates of food from my obese parents and they would leave me in the kitchen with the light on while everybody else would go to bed and I couldn't go to bed until I finished. It's cruel.
True! My mother, on the contrary, used to say "If you don't feel like, don't eat. Skipping a meal will not kill you. Better leave a meal than feel sick and vomit later".
She does the most out of all of them! Has the nicest car and a nice home. She has done well for herself. The same job for 25 years! Makes great money as a nurse is not on no government assistance or nothing that's very commendable! 😮❤ 👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾
@@susanclaire901well even if she's not a nurse she still has a great job and has done well compared to the other's let's not take away from that 🙏🏾🙏🏾God bless!
@@tiffanyashford4769she’s like 600lbs though! That small amount of weight loss at that size is pretty rubbish and she clearly wasn’t committed to working hard and changing her life - her excuses were constant and never ending!
Dr. Now needs to have a “boot camp” if you will. Meet with a therapist, meet with a nutritionist, meet with a trainer, right off the bat. I believe it’s should be an educational process. Most people don’t really understand how much work weight loss really is.
I actually really relate to what you were saying about willpower, Sean, and just shutting your mind off from even the possibility of indulging in something. Like me - I’ve had serious problems with drugs and alcohol in my life. And where I’m staying right now, my roommate drinks and has friends over who drink, and there’s always a full liquor cabinet. And I freaking *love* to get a buzz on, and no matter what there will be multiple times a week where I think “Id give anything to just alter my consciousness” - but I don’t even think about or really consider actually drinking any of the alcohol in the house. Because I know it would just make me sick ultimately and if I started doing that, there would literally be no end in sight.
Some of us just can't do the "everything in moderation" thing. For me it has to be black and white. Chocolate is always no. Cakes are always no. I will never eat just one serve. One chocolate bar becomes thr family size pack and that whole cake is a write off. If i give myself even a little bit of wiggle room because "it's a party" or "you've been working out so hard," I start justifying it every other time too.
I love the thought that Sean has never before seen a bunch of ‘dried’ flowers🤣 he clearly thought that these were purchased live and just left to die, no reason to think they might have wilted along the way 😂🥀😂🥀😂
Hello Sean. I am glad you're feeling better in the move plus success. I just want you to know that I tried watching my 600 lb life on Discovery Plus without you and I couldn't do it. Please don't ever stop 💜
Hi Sean, I took a break from watching your videos due to stress and college summer classes! I’m glad to be back enjoying, I always look forward watching your hilarious commentary :))
My heart breaks for this woman, granted I'm still watching. Sean, love these vids. Hope you are feeling better! Update: her arguing over and over with Dr. Now is annoying. Numbers don't lie. People don't like the truth.
Actually I believe she is very smart. Unfortunately being smart means one can trip themselves up with words & essentially stay in denial. I once had a girl tell me "You're so smart, you're stupid!". She said it with good intentions. I took it to heart and it was a good learning day for me. I'll always appreciate her . Jax 70 in Hawaii 🌴🌺
So excited to see you back! Super sorry you had the Rona AND you were moving. Oy! I told my husband you uploaded a video and he tossed the remotes at me and said "see you in 2 hours" 😂
I feel like she's aware of the direness of the situation on a superficial level, but it hasn't really gotten down to her bones, the deepest parts of her soul. I know that if I had that beautiful little girl, I'd go without food for a year if it meant I could stay in her life.
Me yelling at the screen..."YOU WORK AT A HOSPITAL!!!" That is one of the best places to work when you need to lose weight! You have a whole dietary and rehabilitation staff at your disposal, never mind the nurses and doctors there! Ask them what healthy choices are in the cafeteria according to your diet. Walk the halls on your break, that would fit in at least one of the two workouts. Excuses only prolong the problem. I so hope that she's in a better headspace today.
Just because I work at Nordstrom‘s, doesn’t mean I can afford to be their customer. Likewise, just because someone works in the hospital doesn’t mean she’s able to avail herself of professionals’ input. Maybe on a small scale, but you’re acting like the hospital staff is supposed to be treating her when in fact, she’s there to perform a job.
In another one of your videos, I had suggested that Dr Now show patients exactly what 400 cal. breakfasts, lunches and dinners look like. Now I am also thinking that a sample grocery list would be so helpful.... these people literally do not know what to eat or how to eat healthy.
Ugh, this is so aggravating. First she used her daughter for her reason to lose weight. Then she used her daughter as her reason NOT to lose weight.
The part when she said she was too busy to do the liquid diet??? Drinking a shake or some bone broth how is that more work than cooking your tilapia with broccoli? This woman is such a deeply disturbed addict that she cannot even admit to herself what’s going on here. She will be dead by the time her daughter is 10.
The sad thing is that if she REALLY was concerned for her daughter, she would face the hard truth that she probably won't live to see her daughter graduate from high school. This woman is her own worst enemy - in the words of Pogo "We have met the enemy and he is us." But she will no doubt simply delude herself about her chances of dying - very likely suddenly - from an obesity-related incident as it seems this has been working for her to date.
Unfortunately this baby is going to be an orphan, if she's not going to change!
If she doesn’t get back to the dr, she’s not even going to be here for her daughter. Heartbreaking 💔
Yeah. I hate it when people use their kids as an excuse for why they can’t take care of their own health (…and won’t try to be a good healthy role model for their kids, and won’t even try to live long enough to see their kids through to adulthood). Can you imagine…she’s going to leave her kid an orphan, and that child is going to watch this someday and see how her mom blamed HER as the reason why she had to stay on this path to an early grave.
Wow she is the first one that has a job and walks around without a walker. Its crazy how mobile she is compared to other people on the show.
Yet still so lazy and pathetic
Ikr, kudos for her!
Yes and her legs aren’t swollen with lymphedema unlike most other patients I’ve seen. She has nice legs imo
She’s really impressive on the front for sure.
Yes, but at her job she looks like she has to stop frequently to breathe. It's scary to watch.
Hope moving went well! So glad to have you back.
Today is 22 days no nicotine and I lost the ten pounds I put on when I quit vaping.
I gotta quit smoking. How did you do it?! That's amazing you lost weight and quit smoking ❤
That’s amazing keep killing it. Moving went good I’m in here getting situated.
@@anitafetters1816 Allen carrs easy way method.
Good work!!!🎉🎉🎉
2 years without here. You can do this👍👊
Wow congratulations! 🎉🎆🎊
Nicotine is a hard thing to quit. I never smoked or vaped, but a job I worked, years ago, had free Nicorette gum we could try; and I ended up liking it WAY too much. Even the generic is expensive when that job site closed down and I was buying the gum.
This is what kills me about some of these people. They claim that their schedule is "SO TIGHT" that all they have time for is fast food! Excuse me, but this is NOT the 1970s! Almost every fast food joint serves salads. Better yet, almost every grocery store sells ready made salads! You can buy grilled chicken strips! You can get tuna in a pouch! Being busy isn't an excuse to eat badly! Again, Leneatha just didn't want to do right.
Tunafish is great for you, especially if it is wild caught and you don't have it more than 2-3 times a week because of the mercury issue. I stretch my 1/2 pound tunafish salad over three days (and obviously eat other things as well.) Learn how good salmon is and have it once a week , even if it's a small piece. Or add fish oil supplements to your diet if you hate fish, or have lots of mushrooms and eggs.
You are so right! The reason is they are addicted to fast food and the entire process that surrounds it, buying it, sitting and eating it without even going to the table, the fast clean up. Beyond the addiction and the habit sits ignorance! Get one willing person in your circle who knows the local grocery store and actually shope there. Go with them, see what's available for quick meals.
True that, I get chilled high protein meals, soups, prepared salads, fruit or yogurt from the supermarket if I don't have time/desire to cook.
As said before: *Even* if the *only* food in the universe is fast food: Stick. To. The. Diet. 1200 calories is 1200 calories. Yet, SO many of them go "Welp, guess all I can do is body slam 9001 calories of cheeseburger!". But: No. You may have *one* burger. Then you are at the limit. Still hungry? Well, better start pouting.
@@LoveMusic-pd5iz A rotisserie chicken is usually available or buy things like chicken tenders that you can sauté in minutes. Even if you feel the need to lightly bread them it is still better for you. Or things like thin pork chops or skirt steak which need to be cooked really fast (although it's best to marinate the skirt steak for up to two hours so it's tender.). I cook up rice and have it on the side for two days. What is so hard about washing two pots and pans? I also buy precooked beans that only need to be warmed and are ready to eat and canned chickpeas that can be pan sautéed in olive oil in four minutes. (Try adding chopped fresh rosemary, garlic, coarse black pepper and salt to the chickpeas and don't cook them on a really high heat as olive oil shouldn't be heated above medium.)
I haven’t finished the whole video yet but I am so impressed that at her size she’s had the same job for 23 years. Most at her size give up and collect disability.
She really does have a tremendous amount of determination and more will power than she realizes. I hope she is able to turn some of that to caring for herself.
How effect9ve can she be at worked I worked with someone her size she was always eating ahd steeling at her desk
@@ericrivera8410 She seemed to have to rest after every few steps
I worked with a woman her Suze she was kazr we had to cover fir her all yhe time she was busy eating
I'm saddened by the idea of her messing up her daughter's future by feeding her junk food.
…. and claiming that she doesn‘t want her daughter to go the same way she is…. 🤦🏼♀️
Especially with her already having asthma. This is what I was thinking 😢
but didn't that plate of cold dry maccas look appertizing tho ... i jest ... but seriously that plate of stodge would have had me reevaluating my choices😒

Anything to get those steps in!

Je suis pas la seule à avoir remarqué 😂😂
She was only runner-up for super morbidly obese award.
The second hand embarrassment that I feel over how she is talking to Dr. Now on this zoom call.
XD thats where I am rn
@@annasmith8352 ooph, rough
The level of respect and care Dr. Now can show is amazing. He could have shut her down at any point but he lets her have time to ramble until she calms down.
So yeah, super embarrassing lol Dr. Now is a model professional.
When she tips her head back and says 'Yeah right'!! She literally sounds like my kindergartner
She should avoid the color purple. She looks like barney
She acts like she is expected to stop eating altogether. No, just don't eat a dumpster of food a day.🤦
That part.✅️
3 basic meals a day, not 6 fast food meals of all processed food. YUCK 🤮 🤮
She seems to have a very distorted perception of her eating habits and what is normal. I think a contributing factor is that the program she is entering is ALSO not about normal eating habits, but another extreme - which is necessary after bariatric surgery. By not knowing what is normal, she will most likely never be able to correct her perception. It makes some sense to me considering where she is coming from, despite it being frustrating.
@@michellebaker8994 I know, right? Edible trash.
Sadly, Leneatha wants the food more. The aunt will probably be the person that will end up having custody of the daughter. 😔
I don't think Leneatha realizes that her daughter will one day look back at this episode after her mom passes away, and wonder why her mom used her child's asthma as an excuse to not lose weight. I feel bad for that future grown woman.
I was thinking same thing as you. Using her daughter's asthma and doctor appts as the main excuse to not doing the weight loss program. She keeps saying she has to put her daughter first BUT if your health starts to deteriorate and you either cannot physically care for her anymore or worse if you pass away from complications due to obesity, how is that going to help your daughter? She's very young and will need you for many more years, hopefully you will realize this in time. You can't take care of her if you are no longer here.
Not to mention that it looks like her daughter is headed towards the same fate with the bad eating habits being pushed on her. She looks to be a little overweight, eating McDonald's nuggets and is only 4 years old.
How tf do you know that?
@@JudeTavonFenwick Seen it before many times. She thought she could flop some ropes around for 5 minutes and then get rolled straight into surgery, she gave up after that weighing because it turned out to be much harder than initially thought, then just wanted to get back to her life and pray to God for weight loss instead becuase that's easier.
her daughter is not overweight.
There was an obese guy in my town years ago. He ended up basically living in his old Dodge Ram. The front drivers seat was removed & he sat in the backseat to drive. The day he died (around 50 yo) my niece was working at the ER when he was brought there by his brother in the bed of a pickup, in the rain. The staff couldn't get him out & that's where he died. The doctor on duty estimated he weighed 1,000 lbs.
oh ! … that’ll soooooo sad 😢
What 😮 that’s crazy
Wow, dying homeless and incapacitated was my nightmare when I was obese. Poor guy 😟
When I was 20, age 50 seemed like age 100 -- impossibly far away -- and I didn’t expect to live to be 30. When I turned 30, I got a shirt with a picture of an old, beat-up truck basically held together with Bondo and duck tape, and the caption: _"If I knew I was going to live this long, I would've taken better care of myself."_ 😂
So now I do!
Drove from the backseat???? Damn.
Holy moly. Poor guy 😢
Sean’s face when she said “maybe my body is holding on to fat cause I’m not eating anything “ 😂😂😂😂
Take 30 seconds and look it up. This is an actual thing.
Take 30 seconds to read: I laughed at Sean’s face not at her statement
@@amandakoon2Not at this size.
@@amandakoon2Take another 60 seconds and finish reading the entire article; she's nowhere near "starvation mode" because she's feeling hunger pangs.
Malnutrition is common in obese people. Not getting the right nutrients. Mal-absorption.
42:28 Sean’s smile watching this little girl and knowing how much he wants to be a dad melts my heart. I know when he is a father he is going to love them more than anything ❤
Around the 45:00 mark, when Leneatha says work is why she rescheduled her appointment, don’t forget, she works somewhere with access to a scale that goes to 600lbs, so unlike most, she’d be able to quickly tell (and stay on track), if she were actually losing any weight.
This is the best part of my morning. Walking back from bringing the kids to daycare and listening Sean like it was a podcast
lol thanks happy to keep you company.
Sean keeps me company all day, too. I’ll even put on a video I’ve seen.
Mine is always after I put my kid to bed and im cleaning up for the next day 😅
This lady is super annoying.
YAAASSS!!! 1st thing in the morning for me. Always bummed when I see there's no video that day.
I really wanted to like her, but arguing with Doctor Now and acting like she knows it all while losing NOTHING? I can’t. Her daughter was so precious though!
Yeah after a while I thought she was annoying but yes the daughter is adorable
She was doing more than arguing she was blatantly disrespecting him.
That little girl is adorable and sweet!
@@mzcrystallover93 Punctuation is a good idea here.
@@wilmapug Some people do like to argue...
When I started counting calories, I was SHOCKED at how fast calories add up!!
Food diary and food scale are essential, honestly. Sometimes I’ll be putting TWICE as much as my portion should be just judging by the look of it 😭
Food journaling is the ultimate truth buster when it comes to food.
Me too and felt like almost crying when I saw how long I’d have to walk to work off a chocolate biscuit ( a low calorie one too!) 😢😂
Fast af when I really got into it Sam club and costco needs jail time
Dr Now seems to object to using food trackers and yet he has a specific calorie count in mind (1200 calories) and also wants them to eat low carb and high protein. I don't see how they can do that without some way to keep track of all those things over the course of the day, and a food tracker does the math automatically.
The alternative would be to give a list of possible meals with exact instructions, like the exact size of pieces of meat or measured volume of other foods. But to expect chronic overeaters to be able to magically eyeball portion sizes seems unrealistic.
It’s clear she is lacking some kind of awareness of her eating habits.
She doesn’t care.
If I was her sister, I would’ve got up, said she’s delusional and walked out. You’re not wasting my time LYING to your doctor. Some people just want to be perpetual victims and I feel zero sympathy.
The fact that she uses her daughter as an excuse to quit the program really makes my blood boil! & if something is important enough to you, you will make it a priority and find time to do it! She’s just not there yet. I do wish her the best even tho she had my blood pressure up the entire episode.
Also, eating less doesn't take any extra time or money. It saves money, time, and effort. So it's all just BS when they say that they don't have time and energy to focus on weight loss.
@@christiegreenwood2642 It takes me extra time and money cause I gotta buy and cook things that count as 'less'.
After all, eating one McDonald's cheeseburger instead of 5 might be an improvement, but I'll end up probably breaking eventually from the hunger. Instead I invest time and money into tasty, but lower calorie/more nutritious options than I ate before.
@@christiegreenwood2642 agreed!
Yep
✅️
I worked with a large woman with Leneatha’s accent, but was was fun. If anyone commented on her weight she’d exclaim “Sugar, one of these days the famine’s gonna come and y’all be pitiful starving, but I got enough storage to last months!”
Four years, apparently!
And for todays ‘weirdest phrase of the day’….
“I mainly use my toilet to take a bath”
Now there’s a sentence I hope to never hear again!!😂😂
Ikr! 😂 Like Sean said, why not sit on the side of the bathtub, like we did when we were obese?
Also when she said she fears falling in the toilet! Oh my!
My favorite so far is "Less faterer"
OMG! That was the most disgusting and surprising thing I EVER heard. Made me feel queasy in my belly.
No a sentence we hope to never have to say.
I hardly ever comment on any video. But I have to comment on yours. I love your commentary. Your full of comedy and positive feedback even commenting on your own weight loss history. If you didn't do that it would've took me more time to realize you have a weight problem. Cause I can't tell like that looking at you. I think your a great person and I'm a new subscriber. I love what you put out and how you compare yourself to other people on their journey. Keep doing what your doing. Most respect ❤
This lady is so insufferable I almost can’t take it. I really can’t handle the audacity she has to “yeah right” a DOCTOR. Let alone DR. NOW.
I just wanna go back to bed too when I wake up, even at 155lbs.
1st of all I love the name Mandy, 2nd I feel you, it takes everything to get out of bed sometimes
@@ChristiColonelmy nick name is MandyCane 😊
Change it then! You can be the person you want to be, it just takes the willingness to struggle. ❤
I hope you’re doing ok. We share a first name btw!
“It’s ok to be hungry.” Wise words.
I constantly tell myself that.
There are ways to control your hunger. You can start eating large amounts of fresh vegetables sauteed in olive oil and garlic with fresh herbs to make them tasty. Even try eating a whole head of cauliflower sautéed in olive oil and garlic and tell me if you're still hungry in three hours. Have hard boiled eggs and cold chicken and premixed salads on hand or boiled shrimp with cocktail sauce. Get fresh cole slaw or better yet make it yourself with pre sliced cabbage and carrots or have tunafish and seafood salad ready to go or peanut butter on just one piece of bread. (Multigrain whole bread with seeds is very nice with peanut butter.) Try adding celery seed and more salt and pepper to egg and tuna salad to make them taste better. Some hunger is just getting over the sugar and high carb and salt addictions and it has nothing to do with actual hunger.
@@karilnowak7962absolutely great advice!! For my hunger cravings (I’m getting into working out and wanna maintain a decent deficit for cardio and I’m doing weight lifting too but I have a bit of fat so I’m not too concerned with adding a caloric surplus atm) I have boiled eggs and carrot sticks! I sprinkle some lemon pepper on the eggs and I just like the crunch of carrots so I don’t use dressings which helps cut down unnecessary calories. Carrots are my chips now lol, the crunchiness helps.
@@karilnowak7962another “meal” I eat is also tuna and green beans 🤣 just mix it all up, add lemon juice and garlic salt and heat it up. Idk it’s so tasty to me.
Hunger tells me that I am losing weight.
Hey Sean!!!! How are you doing today!! I hope you’re doing well!! I went to the doctor yesterday and he said I lost enough weight to be taken off my high blood pressure meds!!❤😊 I never thought I’d see the day when I would be able to get off those!! And yes, you are apart of my inspiration!! So, thank you!!!!

Absolutely!!!
Good for you Alice! Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

@@jenniferdaulby5519
She’s not ready to diet. She knows she needs to lose weight, and she talks a lot of talk, but when she couldn’t get immediate weight loss surgery, she just set herself up to fail. Like a lot of Dr Now’s patients, it’s one excuse after the other until eventually they can say “this doesn’t work for me” and happily go back to overeating. Only when you take full responsibility for yourself, and make your weight loss your priority - whatever it takes and no matter how long it takes - can you really start to lose weight.
She's mobile and she's still working--that's better than most.
180 for a girl in the 90s+2000s is not a skinny kids dream. Having a belly was just not OK back then. Celebrities would eat a meal and magazines would guess if they were pregnant or not.
I LOLed at this 😂 I’m 5’ 10, weighed between 170-190 as a teen in the late 90’s. By the standards of the day I was so fat that I wasn’t even considered female by my peers.
Ugh yeah growing up in the 90's-00's destroyed the body image of so many women. Many of us are still recovering.
I barely cracked 100 pounds at graduation and at 5’6” I looked chubby next to 90s celebs 😂
Crazy how things have changed. I'm 5'2 and weighed between 140-150 in the early 90's. Everyone made fun of my big butt and thighs. I look back at pictures now, and damn, I looked good😂. I hated my body then. Now, after 3 children and many years of gravity, I would love to have that body back🤣.
Exactly! I weight 170 at graduation and was the fat girl!!
This lady is so delusional. Why seek Dr. Now if you are not going to follow his advice.
I think she wasted his time
Because people think it's an easy process to qualify.. And it isn't..
I mean that's what I'm saying
@@mzcrystallover93Yep, she did
She speaks like she is angry at everyone because she is fat. "People don't realise how hard it is for me to, etc," she said almost accusingly as though it was everyone's fault--- except her own.
I don't know if you read the comments but I wanted you to know I made my goal weight and the skin removal is next. You are inspiring.. thank you for being great and having a beautiful heart ❤️..

“I don’t know how I got this big”…then buys two plates full of food with sides included at a cafeteria and orders enough food at the drive thru for four people. ( not including her daughter’s food) “I don’t know how I got this big”. When you eat enough food for three to four people at every meal, that is how you get that big. How can they look at their multiple plates and not know they are over eating? It is very hard to feel sorry for some of these people especially when they have children that should be enough to get them to change.
She thought all her excuses and stalling tactics would work on Dr Now but he's heard them all before lol
Dr.Now really set her off with that no food for 4 years joke 💀💀💀 girl, he won't take your food, calm down 😭😭😭😭😭😭
She literally was ready to lose her mind when she glommed on to not eating for 4 years. He never said that. That tells me that she is a bit combative when she's faced with having to do something for herself that she doesn't want to do. It amazes me how many people think surgery will take care of the weight loss. Dr. Now making them lose on their own first is necessary, not just for showing their commitment, but weight loss and a healthy diet needs to become a way of life BEFORE THE SURGERY. Surgery is not the end. Sean knows that. Fortunately some Dr. Now patients get it. We love the success stories! Then, there are those who continue to live an angry and obese life. Dr. Now can't fix that part.
@@mistannybell5127it's like trying to tell an alcoholic that they don't need another drink. It's a similar "oh what, I can't ever drink again" hyper fixation and exaggerating out of desperation. Addicts hear "never again" and have a meltdown, even if all you said was slow down.
When the show started i thought her skin colour was so so beautiful, it made my heart ache to hear she was bullied for her gorgeous skin.
❤❤❤
Yeah that is definitely not cool at all. I can’t believe anyone would do that.
Ikr, I love her gorgeous skin, but colorism is a huge problem in many communities. I'm Polynesian/Japanese/Roma and when I was a little girl, two girls I knew were Black but one had very dark skin, and the other had very light skin; and although they were both pretty girls, they used to insult each other's color all the time. Kids can be vicious to each other.
That’s what I was thinking too

I got pregnant at 26, and the sperm donor promised me the moon beforehand. When I told him I was pregnant, he offered to help me, but it was a trip to the abortion clinic.

Dr. Now- “So you don’t need to eat all the time. Follow what I’m saying?”
His patients- “I don’t wanna get malnourished!”
Especially if you see her eating all this rubbish with no nutrional value…. 😂
OMG I ALSO GOT THE SAME ORDER FROM MCDONALDS WHEN I WAS 220lbs. Scary to know I was eating like a 600lber, I was on my way there. Luckily I've made a lot of changes and I'm now at 145lbs. Just 13lbs to go until I'm at my goal weight.
lol that’s the problem you just eat more often and a lot of sweets as a snack you’re there.
The "four years" remark really rubbed her the wrong way. 😂
Maybe she's on the autism spectrum so hence why she took that comment literally. If she is on the autism spectrum that too could have had her being more arguementive.

My own mother *did not do anything to deserve* to be abandaned by her husband and father of her six children while he chose to cheat, make more kids and drink his life away, and not support ANY of us in our formative years. Mama did all of that. My mother, the good, non-crappy woman, took him back the last twelve years of his alcoholic life even though all of his children strongly disagreed . Think about what you say.

I have the Covid right now. Not fun. Glad you got well. This was a great video, as usual.
I was the office manager for a group of doctors and also the medical assistant for one. One patient that I will never forget was a 28 y.o. man who came in for a physical. I did his lab work, chest X-Ray and EKG. Put him in the exam room to see the dr. Nicest looking,, healthiest looking young man you would ever want to see. He had been I. The exam room about 10 MI jets when the door burst open and he came out into the hall obviously in distress. He had hi inhaler in his hand. I got to him as he collar to the floor. I yelled for the Dr and 4 of them came running as I called 911. He was having g a severe asthma attack. I can tell you EVERYTHING possible was done to save him but he was gone by the time the ambulance arrived ed. He had 4 of the best doctors in our town working on him in very prepared medical facility and they couldn't save him. They that has been well over 25 years ago and I still remember everything a out it like it was yesterday. Needless to say we were all very upset for weeks afterward, so yeah, asthma is a big deal!
Omg that’s crazy and sad
❤ I had a relative that died of an asthma attack
I grew out of my asthma.
But we have come a long way in 25 years. It's like with HIV. It's serious, but not AS serious as it once was.
Wow, that's scary and sad! A really good friend of mine has asthma, and she's had to stay on top of it since childhood. I never knew how serious it was until we met and became friends.
I've had 2 asthma attacks. They are so frikkin scary, Not being able to breathe..
Crossfit is high risk for injury. Don't crap on me, people. It's not very protective of joints and range of motion control. She is a beginner

@@Irishczech you know what’s reckless? Being overweight? You know who’s prone to injury? People who are obese? Guess who has bad joints? You guess it! People who are overweight. So if your argument is obese people shouldn’t do CrossFit I tend to agree, but it’s not the cross fit that’s the “reckless problem”. Just want to make sure that parts clear.
Good on her for having a job.
It’s impressive she still can
@@Seanofsteel Love your videos! If you want more recommendations I suggest: Brandon or Justin (success stories)
And June where are they now episode. She was insufferable in this
She really thinks he's cracking jokes about eating four years worth of food, but like, she eats quadruple what any normal person eats every single meal and then some. What doesn't she get?
The purpose of weight loss surgery is to stop you from overeating. If Leneatha is swearing up and down that she is already not over eating then I guess she doesn’t need the weight loss surgery at all because it’s purpose is to solve a problem that she swears she doesn’t have.
After lazying around for weeks, I’m finally back to working out and playing sports. This is the motivation i was looking for! 💪🏻💪🏻
Happy you’re back after it 😊
Arthritis took over my back last August and I have mostly been sitting for a year. Had surgery in June and just got cleared to start pt. I gained about 10 lb this year - already overweight - but I'm basically starting from ground zero and it's so hard. At age 69 it's even harder. I keep tellung myself just one day at a time....
@@cherylanne6549 i believe in you ma’am!! You can definitely do it!! If I with heart failure can do it, so can you! I know its hard but I started with going up the stairs at first it was hard but now its so easy to do it! So I believe you can do it, keep trying but dont push ur self too much, but I know u can do it! Stay strong and remain positive 💪🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻
The fact that it's possible to get an order of TWENTY chicken nuggets is definitely part of the problem too XP
Oh yes you can get it as a meal. In my fat girl days I would get a 20 piece nugget meal and order a Big Mac on top of that.
Ikr, when I was obese I used to get "family sized" meals and eat it all myself. I did the math on one of my favorite orders and it was 7,000 calories! 😳 I even used to pretend to be reading off a list of what my family wanted, so the food place wouldn't know it was all for me 😂
@@zxyatiywariii8 lol I def did not want them to know all that food was for me 😭
@@zxyatiywariii8 And here I feel ashamed for simply ordering a little extra food! Like onion rings along with my fries at Burger King. Sometimes I would order the cheese sticks instead of the onion rings.
That’s the thing fast food mobile apps show calorie count. It’s been helpful to realize how much I’m consuming. Also a spoon of mayo is 70 calories
Having a meltdown about my weight today - currently 31 weeks pregnant with twins and nothing fits - this definitely improved my day,
Hope your move went well and youre settling in ❤
Papa roach is great. You’re amazing and pregnant give yourself a break. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Sometimes it’s just one of those days. ❤️
Growing a single human is hard, and you're doing two! Try to give yourself some grace. I cannot fathom how hard it is. I have no doubt that you're doing the best you can!
You'll be fine. After the babies come you won't have time & the weight will come off. I gained over 100 lbs with my son.I lost it all plus some. 😊✌️🌻🌻 Best of luck & much joy with those babies.
Hang in there kitty!! The last month with my 10lbs baby was miserable. Just remind yourself it will be over soon. Congratulations btw ❤
@@Seanofsteelone of THE best bands live!!!
It was an email from me, I kept gaining weight in times of extreme stress and was in a lot of pain. Was told my fight or flight system has been activated for such a long period of time that it shut my digestive system down. Got meds to wake it up again and all is okay now, weight going back down to normal. Stress can be a factor sometimes but I've seen in most of these videos it's delusional thoughts of what is being eaten that is a problem.
He was being soooo nice with her and had sooo much patience.
I lived in Meridian for several years! So happy you are back, hope you feel better soon Sean!!
Hey I’m feeling a lot better today. 😊
For anyone who thinks it's impossible, there is a guy who lived Great Britain who water fasted in a hospital for 1 year straight. He went from super morbidly obese to somewhere under 200 when he left. He dropped close to 275 pounds.
There are tons of doctors and health experts on YT now who explain how good it is for diabetics, and everyone to fast and give those insulin spikes from snacks a break. It's very good for a person and insulin levels. I have lost 65 lbs. If I am weak a day and go up to 2k cals I will fast the next day. I've lost 65 lbs over 2 yrs.
I do carnivore and intimitant fasting 56lb in 18mths. 😊

@@wendi2819 - 😁 Good for you! Congratulations!
@@meatavoreNana - If you've found what works for you, I think that's part of the battle. It's not EASY for anyone. You're doing great! 🌷🌹🌷
“I’m not a role model at all.” Sir, you understand the nuances of their struggles, know how to respect the journey they’re on (and yourself!) and give it an honest effort. I think you make a great role model. You’re doing great, your content is great and I think we’re all proud and appreciative of you!
I agree he's honest funny and supportive. He had the problem and did something about it and now he talks about it on his platform. Definitely a role model ❤
You gotta admit he is a little misogynistic and racist though.
When i told my son's dad i was two months pregnant, he took off. He lied to me about moving to Illinois. He actually moved to Longmont. I found out from my friend about it and he said he lied to me to make the break up easier on the both of us. It may have been easier on him, he wasn't the one pregnant. My son didn't meet his dad until he was 16 yrs old.
Damn I’m sorry to hear that, these men can be horrible at times. He dodged his seed, his DNA 🧬 all he had to do was end it with you and still be in his child’s life.
Was he your husband? You picked him and chose to be a single mother and your son pays the price.
@@dcg590 I didn't plan on being a single mom. I wasn't married to his dad. And my son did very well being raised by me. He didn't go without
Hi Sean, thank you for the laughs, encouragement, and sharing your weight loss journey. 😊
Wow thank you 😊. I’m happy to try and help people with my own struggles. Thank you for supporting me and watching my videos. It means a lot cause I didn’t know if anyone would watch.
Listening to this woman is SO frustrating. Dr. Now can't make her understand that the scale doesn't lie.
She's full of excuses!
She actually put so much food on her daughter's plate that's all fried and said "take another bite you're disappointing me"😮. I used to have to eat big plates of food from my obese parents and they would leave me in the kitchen with the light on while everybody else would go to bed and I couldn't go to bed until I finished. It's cruel.
True! My mother, on the contrary, used to say "If you don't feel like, don't eat. Skipping a meal will not kill you. Better leave a meal than feel sick and vomit later".
Yes! A child will eat when they're hungry.@@gloriabarberi1292
Me to always had to eat everything on your plate or sit at the kitchen table all night
Oh my God she did. Oh man
I used to have to do that with red meat, which I never liked. Sat there half the night chewing it. Hated it with a passion. I'm vegan now 😂
She does the most out of all of them! Has the nicest car and a nice home. She has done well for herself. The same job for 25 years! Makes great money as a nurse is not on no government assistance or nothing that's very commendable! 😮❤ 👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾
She's NOT a nurse. Did you see her in scrubs? She's a file clerk or something.
@@susanclaire901well even if she's not a nurse she still has a great job and has done well compared to the other's let's not take away from that 🙏🏾🙏🏾God bless!
Yes but all that is what attracted those predatory men. I think she’s depressed from those bad romances.

@@nonino1644her fault. She picked them.
Sean, I love this for you. You're commentary is great and very relatable. I was once 300lbs lost 100lbs. Congratulations on your weight loss.
Hokey! Doctor has an amazing amount of patience!
As soon as i see folks eating fast food, i know the excuses are coming
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think she's one of the only ones that actually wear underwear
I thought I was weird for noticing that. She likes to feel clean.
It took her FIVE months to lose 29 lbs.!!
I think that’s good. It took a year for me to lose 25 and I was working out 2X a day
@@tiffanyashford4769she’s like 600lbs though! That small amount of weight loss at that size is pretty rubbish and she clearly wasn’t committed to working hard and changing her life - her excuses were constant and never ending!
Dr. Now needs to have a “boot camp” if you will. Meet with a therapist, meet with a nutritionist, meet with a trainer, right off the bat. I believe it’s should be an educational process. Most people don’t really understand how much work weight loss really is.
Call it "Detox NOW"
@@debbierellim6474one word for your comment agree.
I actually really relate to what you were saying about willpower, Sean, and just shutting your mind off from even the possibility of indulging in something.
Like me - I’ve had serious problems with drugs and alcohol in my life. And where I’m staying right now, my roommate drinks and has friends over who drink, and there’s always a full liquor cabinet. And I freaking *love* to get a buzz on, and no matter what there will be multiple times a week where I think “Id give anything to just alter my consciousness” - but I don’t even think about or really consider actually drinking any of the alcohol in the house. Because I know it would just make me sick ultimately and if I started doing that, there would literally be no end in sight.
Some of us just can't do the "everything in moderation" thing. For me it has to be black and white. Chocolate is always no. Cakes are always no. I will never eat just one serve. One chocolate bar becomes thr family size pack and that whole cake is a write off. If i give myself even a little bit of wiggle room because "it's a party" or "you've been working out so hard," I start justifying it every other time too.
I feel you. I am an addict and if you take something away I am looking for something else. I don't understand "one".
Same. I've just accepted that a bar of chocolate is not going to last more than a day. Instead, I just get the smallest ones and buy them less often.
I love the thought that Sean has never before seen a bunch of ‘dried’ flowers🤣 he clearly thought that these were purchased live and just left to die, no reason to think they might have wilted along the way 😂🥀😂🥀😂
I always thought they were ugly and looked like dead flowers too
I'm sure he was joking 😂
You have to admit they were very unattractive dried flowers.
Hello Sean. I am glad you're feeling better in the move plus success. I just want you to know that I tried watching my 600 lb life on Discovery Plus without you and I couldn't do it. Please don't ever stop 💜
Hi Sean, I took a break from watching your videos due to stress and college summer classes! I’m glad to be back enjoying, I always look forward watching your hilarious commentary :))
My heart breaks for this woman, granted I'm still watching. Sean, love these vids. Hope you are feeling better!
Update: her arguing over and over with Dr. Now is annoying. Numbers don't lie. People don't like the truth.
Actually I believe she is very smart. Unfortunately being smart means one can trip themselves up with words & essentially stay in denial. I once had a girl tell me "You're so smart, you're stupid!". She said it with good intentions. I took it to heart and it was a good learning day for me. I'll always appreciate her . Jax 70 in Hawaii 🌴🌺
I was once told "you are the dumbest smart person I know". That stung.
@@ChristiColonel I totally get it. Unfortunately smart people can get in their own way often.
She tricked herself a lot because she worked a lot but her lunch was two HUMONGOUS Holiday plates
I think she works at a hospital and that mac and cheese looked delicious, I must admit.
I worked worh someoneoke her she was actually on judge judy she was always eating amd w5asvfiredvfir falling sleep at her desk it was a callcenter
So excited to see you back! Super sorry you had the Rona AND you were moving. Oy! I told my husband you uploaded a video and he tossed the remotes at me and said "see you in 2 hours" 😂
I feel like she's aware of the direness of the situation on a superficial level, but it hasn't really gotten down to her bones, the deepest parts of her soul. I know that if I had that beautiful little girl, I'd go without food for a year if it meant I could stay in her life.
💯💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯
Using her daughter as an excuse for not taking responsibility and why did they not get her connected with a nutritionist, they had to of.
The flowers are supposed to look like that. They're dried flowers! ❤❤❤
Me yelling at the screen..."YOU WORK AT A HOSPITAL!!!" That is one of the best places to work when you need to lose weight! You have a whole dietary and rehabilitation staff at your disposal, never mind the nurses and doctors there! Ask them what healthy choices are in the cafeteria according to your diet. Walk the halls on your break, that would fit in at least one of the two workouts. Excuses only prolong the problem. I so hope that she's in a better headspace today.
Just because I work at Nordstrom‘s, doesn’t mean I can afford to be their customer. Likewise, just because someone works in the hospital doesn’t mean she’s able to avail herself of professionals’ input. Maybe on a small scale, but you’re acting like the hospital staff is supposed to be treating her when in fact, she’s there to perform a job.
In another one of your videos, I had suggested that Dr Now show patients exactly what 400 cal. breakfasts, lunches and dinners look like. Now I am also thinking that a sample grocery list would be so helpful.... these people literally do not know what to eat or how to eat healthy.
ikr, these people need extensive education and need to understand what calorie counts and healthy food looks like, portion sizes etc.
How horrible that her daughter is going to hear it was her “fault” that her mom quit the program…. She was spinning a story 🤥
She’s got a nasty know it all attitude. Shame on her.
Very defensive😮
A walking talking example of the Dunning-Kruger effect
