It’s miracle Joyce can stand at all at 758 pounds when she’s only 4 ft 11 in. James K was not the heaviest person at the time of his filming. Sean Milkan was the heaviest on the show at 1003.
There is a co-dependency between feeders and eaters. How else should a bed ridden person get all those food if there wasn't someone enabling it? Someone doing the cooking and grocery and stuff. Once the "eater" breaks the deal, the feeder has to leave to find somebody else for whom he can "care".
Some people fetishise obese people and don’t want or support their partner losing weight. They’re with the overweight person BECAUSE of their original size.
Because they are co-dependant with the other person. They are so involved with that person being dependent on them. They need them to stay fat for their dependency to thrive. If their partner loses weight, and can do everything for themselves, then they feel that they're not needed anymore. That's why they sabotage, and sometimes leave.
Different reasons. The whole dynamic of the relationship shifts because on of them isn't in bed and dependent on the other. And usually it changes even more than that because the person losing weight often needed to change a lot about their personality and how they process their emotions and how they make decisions. Everything is just so different. There are other relationships though that seem a lot healthier and where they support each other and it can get even better after they loose weight.
DIY GASTRIC BALLOON: Just eat an apple before every meal. If u must snack, eat an apple. I went from 4 big plates per meal to just one salad plate. Apples are healthy, sweet, crunchy, full of fiber, and keep u full a long time.
I did a budget trip in Japan... i had about 10-15 bucks a day for food a month (spent more on accommodation, tickets, transport). My appetite got pretty small after that lol.
I watch these videos because they inspire me. These people inspire me. I am far from being obese with my humble beer belly FYI. these peoples' stories touch me spiritually and really drive home that effort and mindset are the great equalizers for every human in any challenge. PT, I use your videos to fill me with hope.
I think that a lot of time the " caretakers" are sicker than those who are morbidly obese. I mean, if they get to the point that they cannot walk- someone is feeding them! Like most addictions, the roots are trauma and without enablers many of these people would never get to this point!
I watch this show as it inspires me not to get that heavy . I struggle with my weight but watching how those people eat on the show actually makes me loose my appetite
Thank you for being so polite and speaking kindly about these people. As aggravating as it is to people, addiction is such a terrible thing to overcome. Your compassion is appreciated! Speak Life. :0) Blessings!
Addiction is Addiction Whether it's street drugs, alcohol, food, nicotine. Just because overeating is more obvious to the eye, it's looked at differently
I agree, the program did not fail her, She failed . She probably did not want to follow the diet that DR Now told her to do. He can only do so much to help you . .
@@sokritlun1624 So true. Addicts need to completely change how they live in order to have a chance. You have to be ready to admit that you have a problem, that your way of doing things has made your life unmanageable. Then you need to be willing to change. Be willing to listen to others, like Dr. Now, and do everything that they tell you to do. It's your only chance.
My mom always tell me, everything decided in the person's brain. The person have to decide by own to do that. Nobody able to help her or him change. The only thing what others can do to support her or him. But the path is what they have to do alone
Great outcome for Gideon. One of the few who stuck with not using food for his depression but it still takes counseling and cognitive therapy. Surgery alone isn't the answer. The issues go deeper & he had a great support system. Glad he's physically OK. Proud of him.
I may catch a lot of flack for saying this but my heart goes out to these people. Obviously there are underlying issues that need to be addressed and a removal from all enablers. God Bless !
You don't just throw out terms like "I'd done blowed my brains out months ago" or "I just don't want to wake up." It's not funny, and it's not normal. Hospital staff HAVE to take that stuff seriously.
I’ve watched soo many episodes of the show. Of all of them, only 1 had no trauma in their past. You don’t get that large without some psychological factors. No doubt, many could have helped themselves years ago with therapy. I don’t know why people are so stubborn with therapy.
People don’t realize that psychiatrists have a different perspective that could more easily find a solution to their problems. Sadly they think that if they can’t fix their problems then no one can.
SO MANY health and mental problems are caused by child abuse. Its horrifying how huge of an effect it has on a person. Children need to be protected a lot more than what they are currently.
I'm someone whose stubborn with therapy. It is difficult to get through to me, So I don't tend to seek out therapy. I don't know why, it just seems to be in my nature to need to feel that an idea comes from me for me to act on it. There are some things which immediately get through though, I just get military themed self help ideas. Ultimately even advice that I reject initially, often eventually gets taken on board. It definately looked like I was completely ignoring the advice from my eating disorder team, but ,while I was defying it, I was listening to it and not restricting my food as much in the days following an ED appointment.
I'm sorry but this is why fat ppl kinda gross me out.. is harder to stay clean and most don't care for the extra care that goes into under every roll so it doesn't get infected
Lymphedema is now my 3rd biggest fear. behing falling off a building & being paralyzed. praying for everybody dealing with these conditions due to their weight mismanagement.
Some were gluttonous,most of has legit mental issues such as being harassed by people who they trust. They use food to comfort themselves and ended up being what they are.By providing help from counselling,they would eventually know how to deal with trauma and releasing stress.
I am a recovering heroin addict and I know people including myself are like how in the f*** can people get like that but then I know there's people that are like how could you ever do something like heroin and heroin isn't something that you see everyday if you're a normal person I can imagine that kicking food would be harder than heroin and that's just from me basing it on if I was to get a food stamp card that you could just get heroin with or go to the store and buy all kinds of heroin so I guess I can understand where they're coming from
Who pays their bills? Who cleans for them? Who takes of their hands? Who controls their mouth? Who pries open their mouths to stick loads and loads of food in their and who chews and swallows their food? And do they take an ounce of responsibility? NOPE!!!!! But they have enough people even professionals who take up for them, blaming it on their past. Ever think of that?
Been watching awhile, and it seems like many morbidly obese people were victims of serial abuse and I wonder why that is never addressed. And then I wonder how many of us are lucky that we don't walk in their 600lb shoes.
Joyces’ body laying on the bed when her story was on tv was outrageous. She literally was a frickin blob, looking like she couldnt even move. Watching that made me whisper a couple of words..none of these people have necks anymore and Sean was disgusting!
How people able to be alive in such big body? I never able to understand how the organs able to handle that big body. But most importanitly, how people able to become that big?
Omg maggots , that is so disturbing... who was helping that woman clean herself ? That is a sign of abuse , I mean sure she abused herself but if someone is in charge of caring for someone they need to be held responsible for what they are doing or better yet what there not doing... I’m not surprised that she died.... this show should make a very detailed video of the patient s that died and show the maggots and every sad gross detail s , then show these people there future ... another words shock them into reality... and show them how the people all cheated on the diet and how no one believes there manipulating ways .... just put it out there if they ask for help but yet don’t do what is asked of them
To get so big as to have maggots crawling in the skin folds... That’s the stuff of nightmares.

60lbs in a week??????? that HAS to be a mistake
i mean tammy from 1000lbs sisters gained 50lbs in a month,
That’s like 1/3rd of my weight bruh
There seems to be a phenomena that when the 600 pound person looses weight, the relatively thin partner leaves. What’s up with that?
There is a co-dependency between feeders and eaters. How else should a bed ridden person get all those food if there wasn't someone enabling it? Someone doing the cooking and grocery and stuff. Once the "eater" breaks the deal, the feeder has to leave to find somebody else for whom he can "care".

We can all learn from Dr Now, just to show that there are no excuses when you are trying to commit to something and you are truly serious
