Hey, kids! I apologize for the bad audio.. The mic cable had some issue the whole time Yum and I were filming😟 Purchased a better equipment and will be used from the next shoot. So sorry for your eardrums...🙏
Is Jimin your bias? 😃 yeah the whole meat culture is disgusting but then again I'm vegan lol. I don't care that people eat it but damn have some vegetables, not just meat meat meat.
The thing about being this obese is that therapy is needed to deal with the trauma that caused the weight gain. You don’t get to 600 pounds because you’re happy. They then need to be taught new coping skills.
Yeah, they even said "food was the only enjoyment in life that we really had." How sad is that? Watching Tammy struggle just to get into the van was really tough to watch. I really hope that their sourpuss mother is wrong and that they manage to get their health back. Physical and mental.
I remember something like that on "My 600lb Life". A woman right after complaining her weight keeps her from seeing relatives as much as she would like, then squirts a bunch of whipped cream into her mouth and eats it..
i was wondering what the hell was that and how can u make lasagna with a tube of something....also my god that big thing of meat, as an European, I had no idea u can buy such an enormous quantity.That's food for an year for me.
@@laetitia0884 I'm American and I never before saw meat packaged that way. However, I could understand the reason for it: convenience when making hamburgers. It takes a lot less time to cut the meat into patties than taking handfuls of meat, rolling them into balls, then pressing them down to form patties.
@@barrymichlowitz1071 i thought it was a salami (that's how u call it, I guess).Buy yeah probably it's more convenient, although I buy mine at the butcher's and he gives it to me in a tiny plastic box :) I don't have nothing against it, but as a girl who lived in Italy for some time, that's the furthest thing from a lasagna, like galaxies away....now I do not judge their lifestyle, they said they were/are poor, but I can't believe you can not buy healthy things at a reasonable price...if u make a nice meal plan, u can do it.I'm from an Eastern European country, so I know how it is to live in poverty...but we are still eating healthy.
Despite the Korean customs of having to be beautiful, skinny, young looking, etc these ladies still were so polite and non-judgmental i love them Like they recognized their struggles, sympathized them, and even felt disgusted when smn made fun of them. Proof that being “raised a certain way” isn’t an excuse to be a jerk
Right? Sorry, I know it's late, but the first thing I thought when I saw this video was, "oh God, what are they gonna think/say", because Korea IS very into objective beauty and I'm thinking, if these girls are actually in/from Korea, they've probably never seen people this size before. Not to mention the Slatons are pretty much as stereotypical southern/'murica as it gets (in a fun/kind of cute way in Amy's case, lol). I was so happy to be proven wrong! This kind of kindness is what brings back my faith in humanity, during this period in particular.
I like how these Korean girls aren’t judging and making fun of the girls in the video but they are also not saying that they are not fat or that they don’t need to lose weight cause they are already pretty.They are being honest but also being really nice about it and looking at the big picture Edit: I was not expecting to get this many likes-
I love how you mentioned the classic "they don't need to loose weight because they are already pretty" comment. Its a big fat lie. It's not a lie that they are pretty or not. But saying things like that doesn't help at all and we all know well that physically ugly people exists and they don't need our pity and lies. All they need is support, not a bunch of "you look great. don't worry they are just jealous of you. Be you." Positive lies can lead to negative outcomes and false confidence and could also make one person so full of themselves that they don't change for the better of their health and people around them. And what I ment about the people around them, I mean how it could distance themselves from friends and family who are worried about you and don't want you to die or maybe be a better person if you are an ass hole or say a hoarder. Bringing out positive lies will distance yourself from people and make things worse.
I appreciate the fact that you put in "they do not need to lose weight because they're already pretty" but sometimes it's not always about being pretty. Having bad eating habits including not eating enough just to fit society's "beauty standards" is extremely unhealthy. Sometimes you have to be healthy before you move on to looking good. But I agree, they are beautiful. Remember to eat healthily and be happy people!! :)
Please stop saying "Am I the only one who....." There are 7+ billion people on the planet. YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE IN ANYTHING AT ALL. JUST STOP. You're just fishing for attention and *it's pathetic!*
That's me. I just put people on blast. I say what comes to mind and if that person is about to get thrown under the bus, oh well. Hope you make it out. Apparently I have no filter lol
Laziness is by far the #1 factor. I can eat 3 burgers in one sitting but im only 140 lbs. If u do nothing but sit around all day u are gna have health issues. Its easy to burn off calories when working or exercising.
@@btnhstillfire It's mostly mental health problems i won't ever understand and you may not either but sometimes it's really hard for people to get out of bed because of their certain mental state
If anyone ever needs to loose weight: try swimming. You're practically weightless in water so your joints won't hurt as much. I've seen this done on alot of overweight dogs and cats and a few people.
I used to when college campus gym was open now I'm gaining weight during this quarantine my favoriye thing was swimming and I camt afford a gym membership
@@scarlettmclaren9011 at home workouts without equipment are actually very good. They're difficult though, so you have to stay commited. If you decide to do them, I wish you the best luck on your journey.
No, I get you...I've gotten way too heavy and I just bought some running shoes. Seeing what they eat is making me motivated to make healthier food choices.
I don't think you should ever feel bad for that, if anything that is good, I'm sure they wouldn't want people to follow their footsteps, you are taking inspiration from them and trying to better yourself how you see fit, and that is always a positive.
@@tnuggz6223 even looking at the situation it is good to see reactors being respectful. There are some who just bash and not filter their words. Like it is good to voice out ur opinions but u need to be respectful at the same time. For me, this is my opinion ahh.
It also really seemed genuine, and not like they were just tying to think of good things to say. I've seen other reactions try to be fake nice or sympathetic, and you can usually tell the difference.
The mum's just doing what abusers do best: pin everything on the victims. Remember when she said that Tammy is at fault? That was an outright lie. Mommy Dearest is at fault. The abuse she slung at those two girls while they were growing up is inexcusable and a large chunk of the problem. Yes, being a single parent is tough, but you can still do it without being an insufferable jerk. Abuse causes long-term health problems in a variety of ways. These two had the misfortune of winding up with a multitude of those health problems, through little to no fault of their own. It's the mother. She should've knocked her own pride down a few notches when it mattered. Now? Now she's beyond redemption; those two girls could easily lose a few hundred extra pounds by cutting her out of their lives.
Their reactions were so wholesome. People used to make fun of me for watching my 600 pound life, but it is really nice to see redemption in people who want to have a life. Yes, they got themselves to that point, but like many have mentioned it is often the result of unhealthy coping. Most of them have no life at all and it is really sad.
Have you actually watched this show on particular? Yes, it's quite kind these ladies are not judging the ones on the show, but that bigger one does _not_ try & expects everyone to feel bad for her. I don't know, i don't really have sympathy for people that don't even try & act like shit.
Overweight person struggling to get into car Other youtubers: "TrY nOt To LaUgH cHaLlEnGe" Korean girls: I really hope she gets through this......... ;(
The thing is, they were obese as children. I don’t see how the mother could say it isn’t her fault or that she has nothing to do with it when literally she is most of the reason they developed such awful eating habits. Eating habits aren’t something you can just turn off when you become an age where your diet is your responsibility. I’m 19 now and I’m still suffering from the consequences of being an obese child/teenager... I love my mom, but if she had paid more attention to my weight growing up, I wouldn’t have to fight against my food addiction every moment of the day to lose the weight.
Same. 😢 but I don’t want to blame it all on my mom because she is from another country and didn’t know any better. My parents weren’t taught that processed foods were unhealthy. They just knew they needed to make something quick and easy after coming home late from working two jobs... it’s sad but I believe it has to start with educating parents.
I feel this. My mom has struggled with her weight her whole life. I started my struggle when I was single digits. I can’t remember my mom even -once- saying anything about my weight. The comments I got about my weight as a child were from other kids mostly just laughing at me and calling me every type of fat, but no one ever tried to help me as a child even once. I think if I had even one person to care and talk to me about it, it could have turned things around for me.
You are totally right. Parents set the stage for a kids eating habits. My kids each fruits and veggies because that’s what we have in the house. No chips. Eat some carrots. They don’t know any different.
That’s true. When I was about 8 my sister and I started to develop bad eating habits and if it wasn’t for my mom, who put a stop to it, we would have trouble with that. However, even if I don’t overeat, I still struggle with undereatinf due to how my body copes with stress.
I watched this with my dad. To be honest living with a large family and having one person cook then to one person taking care of four kids. They’re mom did try but couldn’t do it. Fast food is pretty affordable and easy to get on the go. The woman worked three jobs and she had certain points my dad agreed with. I’m not a parent but my dad helps me see both sides and my mom is that extra bridge. Although I don’t remember the full story but both sides had their faults.
I actually cried while watching this. First is the fact that they're severely overweight, whenever they go outside people stare at them, even their mom is being a butt. And the sister that was heavier was in so much pain.
you two are so kind and beautiful, as a overweight person myself its so nice to see that you two aren’t judging the girls but instead giving support to them. others may laugh but i love how you two don’t judge but just support them.
"Their dietary problem might depict a bigger problem in the US" Dang you guys just GET IT! A lot of these shows are laughed at in America.... you guys are so sweet and have so much empathy! I know a lot of people who eat for 'comfort' and more than just 'comfort food', they eat until they're sick because they were not given enough love as a child and people in America don't realize that it is a mental health problem, they just laugh Love your channel girl !
The thing is, it’s not generally in the US. Mental health is looked down on on different parts of the world. Some are more traditional and conservative, and they think that’s it’s just an excuse. On the other hand, the media has SOOOO many, and I mean SOOOOOO SO SO MANY, different ways to portray mental health. It’s sometimes laughed at, other times it is overly-romanticized. Other times, it is over-exaggerated into this thing that it’s not. People react differently to things they don’t understand or agree with. It sucks but that’s the truth of with-whether it’s in the American continents, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia. Whether mental health care is provided greatly and sufficiently or not, it won’t matter if the people involved are shite and have shite beliefs about the problem.
The Busy Bean Home Cafe not really... only along the coasts do we have good centers for mental health, or anything medical really. Middle of the country ends up having to travel miles for treatments, sometimes even to other states. Besides that doesn’t even matter if you can’t afford it, and most who need it are unable to pay for it as it’s often out of pocket for therapies. So yeah maybe you should also do your own research before commenting things too....
@@thebusybeanhomecafe4035 I'm an American and suffer with mental health issues. I'm in a decently well established city close to Chicago. Mental health care SUCKS if you need it for anything other than mild depression
@Alina McPherson damn.... maybe my state only is as well as it is health wise because we also have the CDC and have a lot of major studies for stuff...
The Korean girls bring a good point at the beginning, where cost of nutritious food in the U.S. is much more expensive compared to junk foods. However, these two sisters in the video buy at such a large quantity that they should be able to buy some veggies and eat less cards and red meat. Also, at that weight, it's not a good idea to exercise by walking. That will just hurt your bones, joints, everything else. She could start with simple arms movements/exercises and she will be able to increase her metabolism and lose weight gradually. The main thing to lose weight is eating less calories than the energy you expend per day. If slowly eat less and less calories each day, their body should adjust and they will continue to lose tremendous amounts of weight. Some people genetically have slower metabolisms, so it's alot harder to burn fat and they absorb everything. I wish them the best of luck. Consistency is always key. Nothing is substantial is done in a day. If you can build it in a day, you can also collapse it in a day.
@@gachaedits9668 yes I definitely do feel bad for them, their mother did fail in raising them with good habits. Childhood obesity creates habits that become harder and harder to break. And ik as a result of they are in pain, I hate watching people in pain.
I appreciate how you highlighted the dietary issues in the US. You are absolutely correct. It is much more cost effective for the poorer family to rely on processed and generally unhealthy food than it is for the fresh food and vegetables. The meal the sister made is very common here as it is very filling and can last (usually) for few days.
The quantity of processed food that they buy is probably more expensive than buying smaller quantities of fresh food. In general, eating smaller portions (even unhealthy food) make you lose weight.
@@tvtvtfan3767 we are talking about lower income families meaning food stamps or EBT. On a EBT card, it's way cheaper to buy a candy bar than fresh produce. most of the items approved on that card are lower priced, lower quality goods. please check your privilege
I think the true problem might be convenience and marketing to make unhealthy foods look like "a bang for your buck." However, they are actually often more expensive than just plain ingredients bought with coupons. Buying ingredients you can freeze, pickle, ferment, and store can last you months but the upfront costs can appear daunting compared to buying fast foods/unhealthy foods frequently and accruing that amount or more over time. With a little know-how in cooking, you can make some great, healthy dishes that will last a long time on a dime. My mom is a living testament to that.
Chantal Ing I mention that in another post that it also depends on location. However they they were saying that it was more expensive to buy healthy food. I would say what you are talking about is a food availability. Also depends on what you think of as healthy. Usually when people buy unhealthy food it’s a lot of snacks and desserts. What do you consider unhealthy. There are other things to consider.
As an American, I just wanted to say that you both are very insightful and your thoughts were 100% correct. Thank you for thinking so deeply and putting yourself in the sisters' shoes. I'm so glad you tried to understand the deeper issues in America and that you were very considerate and respectful. I will definitely be watching more of your videos! :)
I have lost 100 pounds, and when seeing this it has given me encouragement to keep losing the weight. And seeing how understanding both of the Korean women were helps a lot.
@@lisab9541on the flip side, I've lost 15 lbs (7kg) from March to August and honestly I am happy. as depressed as I was and still kinda am, I think the weight loss is the only positive I can think of
Zoey is absolutely right about the affordability of different types of foods. It's sad that fresh fruit and vegetables cost more than the highly processed foods.
It really depends. You can eat healthy and it cost the same or less than these highly processed foods but it requires a lot more work and time to prepare the food. It's also harder if you live in a city where fresh foods are going to be less accessible. And also, honestly those foods are really addictive and feel really satisfying for a little while. So there's other factors for why these foods are the go-to for lower income households
This is a weird myth. Its not the type of food, its the amount. You can lose weight only eating twinkies. Many people have proven this. Its just americans have normalized giant portions and giant people.
@@nullakjg767 I totally agree that quantity is usually the dominant factor. Unfortunately, if you took 2 people with very similar habits, lifestyle, etc. and gave 1 of them only twinkies for a month they would have, generally worse health, than giving the other one only kale for a month. Sure, eating only twinkies isn't going to make (most people) morbidly obese, but they would be more susceptible to other health conditions that could be deadly.
@@heatherdoyle3685 True. Unfortunately, by percentage, most people (at least in the US) live in large cities where fresh food is harder to come by. Or it ends up being more expensive because of increased transportation costs. That's why it irks me when you read about community gardens being shutdown or even blocked by ordinance.
@@DunceInAwhile Bro i can get chicken breast for 2 dollars a pound and broccoli for 1. Its not expensive to eat healthy. Only idiots think fast food is cheaper than real food.
They can make some changes to save money ? Like canned tomatoes instead of Ragu and real whipping cream instead of canned ? Put canned tomatoes on a blender then add your own spices
@@AbuelaG74 yep. a bag of frozen veggies at walmart is only about 80 cents. I'm pretty poor but have been losing weight...you just have to spend more time and get creative.
I love how respectful and kind these girls are being. They understand how hard it must be for them. I’ve literally never seem a youtuber that can hold themselves back from making cruel jokes so this is refreshing to see.
As of 5 months ago Amy has lost 100 pounds after having surgery, and Tammy has lost roughly 50 without. They both seem to be making positive growth with their mental health as well -❣️
"The poorer you are, the more likely you will depend on these foods!" THANK YOU! There are so few people, even most of America, that understand this about American Obesity.
@@disgustedinmochi6289 yes we think that going to McDonald's is rich , I have gone once or twice they just have burger ,fries ,coke ,wraps . That is the unhealthy food . I thought why all the people think this is good , atleast we can eat a biryani instead of this .
@@yiyomi3749 Maybe in your location it is. Where I've lived so far, you can either pay $1.50 for a head of lettuce that makes 1-2 bowls of salad (without anything other than the lettuce), or you can pay $1 for 2 boxes of mac and cheese, which contains at least 4-6 bowls of mac and cheese (without anything other than the mac and cheese). Now imagine adding all of the ingredients to make the salad more edible, while mac and cheese _may_ include some meat and vegetables. Overall it's much cheaper to buy unhealthy foods in America.
bro she is SPOT ON when she's saying that this kind of food is what's affordable- if you go to like. let's say mcdonalds and then you go to kroger or target or whatever looking at fresh veggies and fruits, immediately you can see that the healthier, fresher foods are more expensive. it's a systemic problem and that shit has to GO
It two-way street. How many times did they try before? From experience, i tried to help my cousin who has a similar problem, her parents friends tried to help too. We were with her in 1, 5 , 10, and even 15 try. But how many times you can? Now I am like this mother i will belive her when I see.
@@angelikapotree2741 Honestly if they cared about themselves more they would have done something about their situation before it got this far. They may suffer for their entire lives for the choices they have made. It's not hard to not buy something. But it is hard to not eat it once you have bought it. Make the decision before you spend the money that could be used to better your self
IceCream Dragon I mean it’s not that simple, it’s an addiction and it’s a safety net that tons of people use their entire lives. That’s kinda like telling a heavy smoker “just stop buying cigarettes”. It doesn’t work like that, not even close. It takes a lot of time and effort to quit an addiction, and a lot of the time you don’t realize you’re in it until you are deep in shit.
How does it feel when you children are not listening to you and doing the same stupid shit again and again . You feel tortured since they are not babies , they are grown ups who understand that their body is suffering due to their ignorance. Its not their moms fault.
I agree that their mother was insensitive, but think about how tough her life was. She raised five kids while working three jobs. Who knows how difficult her own childhood was. She suffered a lot, possibly her whole life. It's understandable that from her point of view, having to do so much herself, that her child is being irresponsible. I am not overweight, but I have several health conditions that made it very difficult for me starting when I was 14. My mother also had many health conditions so you would think my parents would be understanding. But they weren't, they claimed I was lazy, that there must be something wrong with me. They assumed I was healthy and just had an attitude. To this day my father will accuse me of faking my emotions when he gets angry. Some people just can't empathize with others. It sucks, but it helps to remember that even those people who seem so tough have had their own struggles and also come from a place of hurt and struggle. You just have to move on and do what is right for you.
How can you say its not the mothers fault, they clearly haven't been taught to have a healthy relationship with food, they have grew up overweight since being too young to know better. The mother herself is overweight!
I think it’s really nice that instead of making fun of them, they found things like “blue is her color” and “she can do it” to say. I wish there were more people like that. Instead of immediately going to shame, go to help them. :’)
I love love love that these ladies look at the big picture and that this is a multi-factoral issue - financial difficulties, lack of availability of healthy foods, lack of social support, poor mental health, lack of healthy coping mechanisms, and an awful healthcare system. Preventative health is so lacking in the US. I hope there's a Part 2!
"Their dietary problem might depict a bigger problem in the U.S" Oh most definitely. The healthier foods are always more money and the foods that are unhealthy are always cheaper. The poorer you are here, the more you depend on the unhealthy foods since that's mostly all you can afford. Of course there are some things like certain fruits and vegetables that are more affordable, but most foods that are for vegans or health cost more.

Where I live thats not true but I think it is mostly for taste and quantity sometimes its faster than cooking for yourself or family.
I think it’s more than just healthy food cost more. Not everyone can cook every night for their families, there’s a lot of single mothers that resort to convenient foods which are usually more unhealthy. Those kids are also usually lonelier and eat to past time or confort themselves.
Hi girls. I'm pleasantly surprised by how much empathy and understanding you are showing. I've just watched your Hoarders episode and came straight here. You two are really lovely and you seem like genuinely kind people. It's heartwarming to see. I see more people making fun of other people than displaying the generosity of spirit that you do. Well done! Much love from South Africa.
It's so true that when your poor the food options are bad. I was homeless 2 years and my son and I gained so much weight. Finally got a roof over our heads and we been losing weight eating better and happy.
oh my gosh my heart goes out to you and your son, best wishes :( i know im just a person over the internet but if you need anything im willing to help, im so proud of you two! please stay strong!
I love these women, they aren't judgey as everyone else would, they are saying the nicest things and stuff. I wish everyone was like this, props to you ladies: )
That Mom is just overflowing with motherly support, isn’t she? Girls, I’m a Mom and I support you! I’m proud of you for making these decisions with so little support!
They’re both so unbelievably kind-hearted and sincere, you can tell that it’s genuine as well and not just for the benefit of the viewers. I love them.
You two always seem so understanding of others situations and it's very nice to watch rather than watching people get made fun of. Thank you for being kind.
Isnt it shameful to be this greedy/gluttonous? I think its kind of insensitive to the fact people are starving in the world. If I do something wrong, shouldnt I feel shame about it? Its weird that people think self harm is something to be proud of.
@@nullakjg767 Thats gives you no right to comment on a persons weight though, its never an excuse. People go through things and food might be a coping mechanism for them (though it is unhealthy) The best way to help people be less gluttonous is to support them and help them with their mental issues. Good mental health goes a long way.
@@nullakjg767 of course skinny shaming and starvation is real but that has nothing to do with this obviously starvation comes from having a small amount of food, being shameful of your body etc. But them eating alot is not a choice it's just they never learned to be "fit". Honestly fat and skinny ppl go through equal pain but imagine the stares the giggles they get for eating to much. It's shameful and why are you bringing up skinny shaming if that's not what this is about.
@@nullakjg767 Sure, yes it is shameful to be greedy and gluttonous. However, their environment and their family really should've been there for them and taught them better and helped them instead of shaming them. As said in the video, they were living in poverty and fast food was the cheapest option for them to get a meal. Having your social group constantly shame you and degrade you; drives you to something that can be used as a coping mechanism which in their case, was food so shaming really is going to help (I'm fine with self-shame because it can be used to give them more motivation but I do not agree with someone constantly being shamed). I really don't know why you are actually justifying borderline child abuse. It is not normal for a family to degrade their child. Additionally, who told you that self-harm is something to be proud of??? I really don't understand where you got that from. I've known plenty of people who have gone through self-harm and NONE of them are 'proud' of it. If anything they were ashamed by it and they did it from self-loathing and as a cry of help. This comment is the most BS I've read in a while.
I really appreciated how much they understood the socioeconomic limitations when it comes to food in the U.S. Most Americans don’t even understand this issue. Thank you! 👍🏼
I’ve been overweight most of my life, though not to that degree. Then I fractured my back and couldn’t walk for a year. That was 20 yrs ago and still have that 50 lbs on top of my usual weight. Thank you both for being so kind about this. I just love your channel and your grandma! I’m 69, so I’m not your demographic, but here I am, treasuring you all. 🙏🏻❤️💋👏🏻
Its really cool to see such a cool, and accepting older person on UA-cam, a lot of older people on this platform say “Why don’t you just eat less?” Or, “gen z is lazy and do not work as hard as we do!”.
yeah.... as a grandma-girl too ........... made me so sad..... Though I think the mom was just stressed from working so many jobs to be the mom she wanted to be......... T__T so sadddd
@@marching27 Either way showing your other kids love but picking two kids that you’re putting down constantly? That’s no excuse my mom had 4 jobs & never put any of her kids down everything she did was for us she was & still is our number one supporter
She raised 5 kids? No. To me it sounds like she *had* 5 kids. Raising them is a whole different story. You can't just leave your kids to their own devices and call that raising them. But still, Amy needs to lose the equivalent of one me and Tammy needs to lose 2 me's to get to about what I weigh I'm at and I already feel like I should be mindful of what I stuff my face with.
i absolutely love the empathy ya'll express in this video. you view these people as human beings and not as entertainment. that's so respectful and i appreciate it
(SPOILERS) Honestly, it was discouraging to me to see how Tammy's treatment was handled. Expecting a radical diet change that would result in her losing 60lbs right away to prep for surgery after a lifetime of detrimental eating was not realistic. Yes, the weight absolutely WOULD drop off of her if she were eating healthy foods in appropriate portions, but she needed time and help to get to that point. And when she lost 10lbs--probably the first time she'd seen her weight trending downward in years if not decades--she was shamed over not having lost ENOUGH weight. What she NEEDS is sustained therapy and attention to nutrition and eating habits. You can tell from the videos on her youtube channel that she's managed to keep off a little bit of weight from the show--maybe 20-30lbs? And thought she says the entire experience of being on the show has exhausted her (and it seems like she's making a genuine effort to expose herself to "healthier" foods, just not IDEAL foods), 99% of the comments she gets are fat shaming and concern trolling. 😭 I wish a registered eating disorder therapist that specializes in binge eating disorder would reach out and offer to take her on as a client for free. It really hurts my heart to see the way she's being treated--you can tell that she's such an intelligent and kind person.
These to girls reciting just warms my heart. They are being really nice and stuff they even made really nice compliments. These are really good people. :)
I know that every comment is saying this but I really genuinely appreciate seeing two beautiful women being so non-judgmental and supportive. I'm also overweight and it can really hurt to see the way people react, so it was super refreshing. Also the lil comment about their accent was sweet, I'm also from Kentucky so that made me smile 🥺
I was hesitant to click on this video, but now I 100% see why it was recommended to me. I love how sincerely you care and how compassionate you are towards their situation. Please continue, and I'll keep watching ❤️❤️❤️
I'm not sure of you've seen the full show but Amy does make a huge difference in both exercise and diet, ultimately losing 100lbs by the end of the show and getting surgery. And she's probably lost even more from the end of the show until now. Tammy still struggles with the mental portion of it and didn't get approved for surgery. Amy clearly responded much better to the therapy and coping mechanisms than Tammy did.
@@kylereder7468 I admit I haven't seen the show, but from what I could see of the first episode, it seems Amy has more support and incentive. Having a loving husband, a home, even her little dog- it gives her something to fight for. Sadly, I think because Tammy's only real support comes from Amy, it's harder for her to overcome things. I'm glad to hear Amy is doing better, but I do feel sad for Tammy.
Thank you both for your genuine kindness and understanding. I have a friend that is very obese, I try to help her, but she like these sisters has to want to help herself.
This is a beautiful video to me. I am a fat American and I am afraid to travel because I am so scared of what people would think about me. It was beautiful that you saw these two sisters as struggling human beings who need help, not mockery or criticism. I wish people would see the same for me, that I'm struggling with mental issues and serious emotional traumas that cause me to compulsively overeat, its not laziness or just because I don't want to be better.
I love this, it feels like you are actually watching a show with friends who make comments occasionally and when appropriate. Most people just talk over the entire show trying to be witty and entertaining and you can't even enjoy the video. They also might be the sweetest and most nonjudgemental people I've ever seen. 💕
The sheer amount of empathy that you both have makes my heart so full! You should watch the full series, Amy had the gastric surgery and lost the weight but Tammy struggled and only lost a small amount but is still on her weight loss journey now. Love you guys 💖
Nope. The problem is laziness. Doesnt matter how much u eat if u are burning off calories by simply doing shit. Exercise, work, walking...Something other than sitting at home 24 hours a day.
brad k there's this thing called depression. I suggest you read about it, it's crippling and affects many people. Add in some childhood trauma and anxiety over weight and you have the perfect storm. Of course, it's also activity, but you can't force people who are depressed or anxious to do something they find excruciating
not necessarily, i always see the claims that good food is too expensive in america so poor people end up having to buy junk food but from what i can see at my local grocery store healthy food is pretty inexpensive. i can get 3 broccoli bushels or whatever they're called for 2 dollars, 2 chicken thighs for 3 and some rice for about another 2. compare that which can make at least 2 meals with going to somewhere like mcdonalds where a combo meal cost around 7 or 8 dollars for a single significantly less healthy meal. I do agree the problems of obesity in america are multifaceted but people are often quick to claim eating healthy isn't as affordable as unhealthy and then compare sweetgreen selling salads for 13 bucks to mcdonalds selling a combo meal for 8 without even considering home cooking or take the price of groceries as a one time price and compare that to mcdonalds like a person only shops for 1 meal at a time when going to the grocery store.
you wish you knew not everyone has the time to cook, and prepping a frozen meal for your kid because you’re too tired after work is a reality for many from what ive seen in america.
i love that yall were so sweet and honest during this and not rude jerks because everyone is beautiful and equal and worthy of the same love from everyone
You guys have honestly become one of my favorite youtube reaction channels. You’re so kind and understanding and nonjudgmental. You’re such amazing women and so many more people should strive to be like you guys❤️
I feel bad for Tammy. Having to deal with a mother like that. She sounds so evil. Like even if she doesn't think she'll do it, she could at least encourage her to her face. She's trying. Like the fact that the mom had to say, "It's her fault, I'm a fighter!!" as if the way she raised them would have had no impact.
@@OveranalyzingEverything You do know it's possible to be right *and* nice, don't you? Just a pinch of 'you can do it' would've made a world of difference, but lil' miss tough-stuff can't be bothered to fix her own mental problems and would rather cause some in everyone she meets.

The thing about being this obese is that therapy is needed to deal with the trauma that caused the weight gain. You don’t get to 600 pounds because you’re happy. They then need to be taught new coping skills.
Yeah mental health is a big problem with being this kind of overweight I’ve noticed for a lot of people it’s a coping mechanism.
I haven’t really thought much about it before, that makes a lot of sense...
Very accurate
Yeah, they even said "food was the only enjoyment in life that we really had." How sad is that? Watching Tammy struggle just to get into the van was really tough to watch. I really hope that their sourpuss mother is wrong and that they manage to get their health back. Physical and mental.
i think kids and people in general today are taught that foods are for comfort and not fuel for the body
The mom pissed me off she’s acting like she isn’t big too
i know right
*IKR!!!!*
All of the other people in the restaurant looked overweight other than the lady working. They were all staring and had no right to. People are so rude

i was wondering what the hell was that and how can u make lasagna with a tube of something....also my god that big thing of meat, as an European, I had no idea u can buy such an enormous quantity.That's food for an year for me.
@@laetitia0884 I'm American and I never before saw meat packaged that way. However, I could understand the reason for it: convenience when making hamburgers. It takes a lot less time to cut the meat into patties than taking handfuls of meat, rolling them into balls, then pressing them down to form patties.
@@barrymichlowitz1071 i thought it was a salami (that's how u call it, I guess).Buy yeah probably it's more convenient, although I buy mine at the butcher's and he gives it to me in a tiny plastic box :) I don't have nothing against it, but as a girl who lived in Italy for some time, that's the furthest thing from a lasagna, like galaxies away....now I do not judge their lifestyle, they said they were/are poor, but I can't believe you can not buy healthy things at a reasonable price...if u make a nice meal plan, u can do it.I'm from an Eastern European country, so I know how it is to live in poverty...but we are still eating healthy.
To see them being so supportive, non judgmental and understanding is honestly so refreshing. They inspire me to be a better person. ❤️

@KAR ZE lolll
@KAR ZE lol. Do you like profile pic? 🙂 I love the background on yours it's pretty! 🤗
Right? Sorry, I know it's late, but the first thing I thought when I saw this video was, "oh God, what are they gonna think/say", because Korea IS very into objective beauty and I'm thinking, if these girls are actually in/from Korea, they've probably never seen people this size before. Not to mention the Slatons are pretty much as stereotypical southern/'murica as it gets (in a fun/kind of cute way in Amy's case, lol). I was so happy to be proven wrong! This kind of kindness is what brings back my faith in humanity, during this period in particular.
I like how these Korean girls aren’t judging and making fun of the girls in the video but they are also not saying that they are not fat or that they don’t need to lose weight cause they are already pretty.They are being honest but also being really nice about it and looking at the big picture
Edit: I was not expecting to get this many likes-
I love how you mentioned the classic "they don't need to loose weight because they are already pretty" comment. Its a big fat lie. It's not a lie that they are pretty or not. But saying things like that doesn't help at all and we all know well that physically ugly people exists and they don't need our pity and lies. All they need is support, not a bunch of "you look great. don't worry they are just jealous of you. Be you." Positive lies can lead to negative outcomes and false confidence and could also make one person so full of themselves that they don't change for the better of their health and people around them. And what I ment about the people around them, I mean how it could distance themselves from friends and family who are worried about you and don't want you to die or maybe be a better person if you are an ass hole or say a hoarder. Bringing out positive lies will distance yourself from people and make things worse.
@@bigboomer1013 "they dont need our pity and lies" was the best part of this comment. It was well thought out too.
@@bigboomer1013 Korean and Japanese have portion control if I’m sure? But how I imagine them all is very organized, and well with manners.
I appreciate the fact that you put in "they do not need to lose weight because they're already pretty" but sometimes it's not always about being pretty. Having bad eating habits including not eating enough just to fit society's "beauty standards" is extremely unhealthy. Sometimes you have to be healthy before you move on to looking good. But I agree, they are beautiful. Remember to eat healthily and be happy people!! :)
@@bigboomer1013 true, being honest will help them more. it feels like u don't want them to get better otherwise

I don't think you should ever feel bad for that, if anything that is good, I'm sure they wouldn't want people to follow their footsteps, you are taking inspiration from them and trying to better yourself how you see fit, and that is always a positive.

I mean, it's being recorded--who wouldn't be nice then?
As nice as they are they most likely, like the rest of us, keep it to themselves.
@@tnuggz6223 even looking at the situation it is good to see reactors being respectful. There are some who just bash and not filter their words. Like it is good to voice out ur opinions but u need to be respectful at the same time.
For me, this is my opinion ahh.
It also really seemed genuine, and not like they were just tying to think of good things to say. I've seen other reactions try to be fake nice or sympathetic, and you can usually tell the difference.
Ummmm the mums overweight 🤔 Think she needs to stop giving out advice like she's an Olympic athlete 😂
honestly
The mum's just doing what abusers do best: pin everything on the victims.
Remember when she said that Tammy is at fault? That was an outright lie. Mommy Dearest is at fault. The abuse she slung at those two girls while they were growing up is inexcusable and a large chunk of the problem. Yes, being a single parent is tough, but you can still do it without being an insufferable jerk. Abuse causes long-term health problems in a variety of ways. These two had the misfortune of winding up with a multitude of those health problems, through little to no fault of their own. It's the mother. She should've knocked her own pride down a few notches when it mattered. Now? Now she's beyond redemption; those two girls could easily lose a few hundred extra pounds by cutting her out of their lives.
Yes. Notice the high end wheelchair the mother's using. She'd probably say it's because she's old, has nothing to do with her weight.
Their reactions were so wholesome. People used to make fun of me for watching my 600 pound life, but it is really nice to see redemption in people who want to have a life. Yes, they got themselves to that point, but like many have mentioned it is often the result of unhealthy coping. Most of them have no life at all and it is really sad.
Have you actually watched this show on particular? Yes, it's quite kind these ladies are not judging the ones on the show, but that bigger one does _not_ try & expects everyone to feel bad for her. I don't know, i don't really have sympathy for people that don't even try & act like shit.

@T Doran are you korean?
T Doran ????
The thing is, they were obese as children. I don’t see how the mother could say it isn’t her fault or that she has nothing to do with it when literally she is most of the reason they developed such awful eating habits. Eating habits aren’t something you can just turn off when you become an age where your diet is your responsibility. I’m 19 now and I’m still suffering from the consequences of being an obese child/teenager... I love my mom, but if she had paid more attention to my weight growing up, I wouldn’t have to fight against my food addiction every moment of the day to lose the weight.
Same. 😢 but I don’t want to blame it all on my mom because she is from another country and didn’t know any better. My parents weren’t taught that processed foods were unhealthy. They just knew they needed to make something quick and easy after coming home late from working two jobs... it’s sad but I believe it has to start with educating parents.
I feel this. My mom has struggled with her weight her whole life. I started my struggle when I was single digits. I can’t remember my mom even -once- saying anything about my weight. The comments I got about my weight as a child were from other kids mostly just laughing at me and calling me every type of fat, but no one ever tried to help me as a child even once.
I think if I had even one person to care and talk to me about it, it could have turned things around for me.
You are totally right. Parents set the stage for a kids eating habits. My kids each fruits and veggies because that’s what we have in the house. No chips. Eat some carrots. They don’t know any different.
That’s true. When I was about 8 my sister and I started to develop bad eating habits and if it wasn’t for my mom, who put a stop to it, we would have trouble with that. However, even if I don’t overeat, I still struggle with undereatinf due to how my body copes with stress.
I watched this with my dad. To be honest living with a large family and having one person cook then to one person taking care of four kids. They’re mom did try but couldn’t do it. Fast food is pretty affordable and easy to get on the go. The woman worked three jobs and she had certain points my dad agreed with. I’m not a parent but my dad helps me see both sides and my mom is that extra bridge. Although I don’t remember the full story but both sides had their faults.
I actually cried while watching this. First is the fact that they're severely overweight, whenever they go outside people stare at them, even their mom is being a butt. And the sister that was heavier was in so much pain.
you two are so kind and beautiful, as a overweight person myself its so nice to see that you two aren’t judging the girls but instead giving support to them. others may laugh but i love how you two don’t judge but just support them.
"Their dietary problem might depict a bigger problem in the US"
Dang you guys just GET IT! A lot of these shows are laughed at in America.... you guys are so sweet and have so much empathy! I know a lot of people who eat for 'comfort' and more than just 'comfort food', they eat until they're sick because they were not given enough love as a child and people in America don't realize that it is a mental health problem, they just laugh
Love your channel girl !
and the help for mental health is REALLY bad in the US, especially in country areas like where they live
The thing is, it’s not generally in the US.
Mental health is looked down on on different parts of the world. Some are more traditional and conservative, and they think that’s it’s just an excuse.
On the other hand, the media has SOOOO many, and I mean SOOOOOO SO SO MANY, different ways to portray mental health. It’s sometimes laughed at, other times it is overly-romanticized. Other times, it is over-exaggerated into this thing that it’s not.
People react differently to things they don’t understand or agree with. It sucks but that’s the truth of with-whether it’s in the American continents, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia. Whether mental health care is provided greatly and sufficiently or not, it won’t matter if the people involved are shite and have shite beliefs about the problem.
The Busy Bean Home Cafe not really... only along the coasts do we have good centers for mental health, or anything medical really. Middle of the country ends up having to travel miles for treatments, sometimes even to other states. Besides that doesn’t even matter if you can’t afford it, and most who need it are unable to pay for it as it’s often out of pocket for therapies.
So yeah maybe you should also do your own research before commenting things too....
@@thebusybeanhomecafe4035 I'm an American and suffer with mental health issues. I'm in a decently well established city close to Chicago. Mental health care SUCKS if you need it for anything other than mild depression
@Alina McPherson damn.... maybe my state only is as well as it is health wise because we also have the CDC and have a lot of major studies for stuff...
The Korean girls bring a good point at the beginning, where cost of nutritious food in the U.S. is much more expensive compared to junk foods. However, these two sisters in the video buy at such a large quantity that they should be able to buy some veggies and eat less cards and red meat. Also, at that weight, it's not a good idea to exercise by walking. That will just hurt your bones, joints, everything else. She could start with simple arms movements/exercises and she will be able to increase her metabolism and lose weight gradually. The main thing to lose weight is eating less calories than the energy you expend per day. If slowly eat less and less calories each day, their body should adjust and they will continue to lose tremendous amounts of weight. Some people genetically have slower metabolisms, so it's alot harder to burn fat and they absorb everything. I wish them the best of luck. Consistency is always key. Nothing is substantial is done in a day. If you can build it in a day, you can also collapse it in a day.
Yeah or doing exercise in the water which can help your joints and stuff as well.
But seeing how the mother raised them it isn’t surprising.

From what? Starving them self's to death or..?
I appreciate how you highlighted the dietary issues in the US. You are absolutely correct. It is much more cost effective for the poorer family to rely on processed and generally unhealthy food than it is for the fresh food and vegetables. The meal the sister made is very common here as it is very filling and can last (usually) for few days.
That not true. There are plenty of healthy food that is affordable.
The quantity of processed food that they buy is probably more expensive than buying smaller quantities of fresh food. In general, eating smaller portions (even unhealthy food) make you lose weight.
@@tvtvtfan3767 we are talking about lower income families meaning food stamps or EBT. On a EBT card, it's way cheaper to buy a candy bar than fresh produce. most of the items approved on that card are lower priced, lower quality goods. please check your privilege
I think the true problem might be convenience and marketing to make unhealthy foods look like "a bang for your buck." However, they are actually often more expensive than just plain ingredients bought with coupons. Buying ingredients you can freeze, pickle, ferment, and store can last you months but the upfront costs can appear daunting compared to buying fast foods/unhealthy foods frequently and accruing that amount or more over time. With a little know-how in cooking, you can make some great, healthy dishes that will last a long time on a dime. My mom is a living testament to that.
Chantal Ing I mention that in another post that it also depends on location. However they they were saying that it was more expensive to buy healthy food. I would say what you are talking about is a food availability. Also depends on what you think of as healthy. Usually when people buy unhealthy food it’s a lot of snacks and desserts. What do you consider unhealthy. There are other things to consider.
As an American, I just wanted to say that you both are very insightful and your thoughts were 100% correct. Thank you for thinking so deeply and putting yourself in the sisters' shoes. I'm so glad you tried to understand the deeper issues in America and that you were very considerate and respectful. I will definitely be watching more of your videos! :)
I have lost 100 pounds, and when seeing this it has given me encouragement to keep losing the weight. And seeing how understanding both of the Korean women were helps a lot.
Sounds like you are changing your health for the better. I used to have 100 lbs to lose now it's more like 160. This past year hasn't helped me.
@@lisab9541on the flip side, I've lost 15 lbs (7kg) from March to August and honestly I am happy. as depressed as I was and still kinda am, I think the weight loss is the only positive I can think of
Zoey is absolutely right about the affordability of different types of foods. It's sad that fresh fruit and vegetables cost more than the highly processed foods.
It really depends. You can eat healthy and it cost the same or less than these highly processed foods but it requires a lot more work and time to prepare the food. It's also harder if you live in a city where fresh foods are going to be less accessible. And also, honestly those foods are really addictive and feel really satisfying for a little while. So there's other factors for why these foods are the go-to for lower income households
This is a weird myth. Its not the type of food, its the amount. You can lose weight only eating twinkies. Many people have proven this. Its just americans have normalized giant portions and giant people.
@@nullakjg767 I totally agree that quantity is usually the dominant factor. Unfortunately, if you took 2 people with very similar habits, lifestyle, etc. and gave 1 of them only twinkies for a month they would have, generally worse health, than giving the other one only kale for a month. Sure, eating only twinkies isn't going to make (most people) morbidly obese, but they would be more susceptible to other health conditions that could be deadly.
@@heatherdoyle3685 True. Unfortunately, by percentage, most people (at least in the US) live in large cities where fresh food is harder to come by. Or it ends up being more expensive because of increased transportation costs. That's why it irks me when you read about community gardens being shutdown or even blocked by ordinance.

@@yiyomi3749 Maybe in your location it is. Where I've lived so far, you can either pay $1.50 for a head of lettuce that makes 1-2 bowls of salad (without anything other than the lettuce), or you can pay $1 for 2 boxes of mac and cheese, which contains at least 4-6 bowls of mac and cheese (without anything other than the mac and cheese). Now imagine adding all of the ingredients to make the salad more edible, while mac and cheese _may_ include some meat and vegetables. Overall it's much cheaper to buy unhealthy foods in America.
bro she is SPOT ON when she's saying that this kind of food is what's affordable- if you go to like. let's say mcdonalds and then you go to kroger or target or whatever looking at fresh veggies and fruits, immediately you can see that the healthier, fresher foods are more expensive. it's a systemic problem and that shit has to GO

I agree that their mother was insensitive, but think about how tough her life was. She raised five kids while working three jobs. Who knows how difficult her own childhood was. She suffered a lot, possibly her whole life. It's understandable that from her point of view, having to do so much herself, that her child is being irresponsible.
I am not overweight, but I have several health conditions that made it very difficult for me starting when I was 14. My mother also had many health conditions so you would think my parents would be understanding. But they weren't, they claimed I was lazy, that there must be something wrong with me. They assumed I was healthy and just had an attitude. To this day my father will accuse me of faking my emotions when he gets angry. Some people just can't empathize with others. It sucks, but it helps to remember that even those people who seem so tough have had their own struggles and also come from a place of hurt and struggle. You just have to move on and do what is right for you.
How can you say its not the mothers fault, they clearly haven't been taught to have a healthy relationship with food, they have grew up overweight since being too young to know better. The mother herself is overweight!
Lol how do I agree with every comment in this thread?
Cinnamonstix open mindedness...?
These two gals are so intelligent, kind and a pleasure to watch !!!
I think it’s really nice that instead of making fun of them, they found things like “blue is her color” and “she can do it” to say. I wish there were more people like that. Instead of immediately going to shame, go to help them. :’)
I love love love that these ladies look at the big picture and that this is a multi-factoral issue - financial difficulties, lack of availability of healthy foods, lack of social support, poor mental health, lack of healthy coping mechanisms, and an awful healthcare system. Preventative health is so lacking in the US.
I hope there's a Part 2!

"Their dietary problem might depict a bigger problem in the U.S"
Oh most definitely. The healthier foods are always more money and the foods that are unhealthy are always cheaper. The poorer you are here, the more you depend on the unhealthy foods since that's mostly all you can afford. Of course there are some things like certain fruits and vegetables that are more affordable, but most foods that are for vegans or health cost more.
Where I live thats not true but I think it is mostly for taste and quantity sometimes its faster than cooking for yourself or family.
In India meat is more costly than vegetables 🍅 🥔 🥕 🥑🍌🍏🍎🍒🥝🥬🍇🍐🧅🍠
True, most people might say, ‘but you can buy XYZ for cheap, but some families in this country food shop at the dollar store.”
I think it’s more than just healthy food cost more. Not everyone can cook every night for their families, there’s a lot of single mothers that resort to convenient foods which are usually more unhealthy. Those kids are also usually lonelier and eat to past time or confort themselves.
@@chaelisa2763 same in the US.
Hi girls. I'm pleasantly surprised by how much empathy and understanding you are showing. I've just watched your Hoarders episode and came straight here. You two are really lovely and you seem like genuinely kind people. It's heartwarming to see. I see more people making fun of other people than displaying the generosity of spirit that you do. Well done! Much love from South Africa.
I cried a little when they entered the restraunt to meet their mom I felt so bad
It's so true that when your poor the food options are bad. I was homeless 2 years and my son and I gained so much weight. Finally got a roof over our heads and we been losing weight eating better and happy.
Same! I was in a homeless shelter with no way to cook food other than microwaving.
@@Fubie I pray your doing better now
oh my gosh my heart goes out to you and your son, best wishes :( i know im just a person over the internet but if you need anything im willing to help, im so proud of you two! please stay strong!
this is such a heart breakin comment I'm glad you got a house
damn... opposite of some countries tbh
I like how they don’t even judge them you guys are so kind and both of you are beautiful💗🥰
Yes, these girls are so kind and beautiful, and how they comment around the issues also shows how smart they are..... :")
Yeah, they don't judge before watching these shows first and always give us their view of things about the situation.
I love these women, they aren't judgey as everyone else would, they are saying the nicest things and stuff. I wish everyone was like this, props to you ladies: )
This channel should have more subs. You girl's deserve millions of subscribers. Great video loves. 😻💙❤️💛🧡💜💚😺
That Mom is just overflowing with motherly support, isn’t she? Girls, I’m a Mom and I support you! I’m proud of you for making these decisions with so little support!
Thanks mom
I wish my mom was like you :(
idk anything about you, idk who you are, but from this comment you seem like a great mom
Be my mom and support me😭
@@darkx6869 I wish we all could get the parents every kid deserves.
They’re both so unbelievably kind-hearted and sincere, you can tell that it’s genuine as well and not just for the benefit of the viewers. I love them.
Those Korean girls were so inspiring! It was so nice trying to encourage them from a screen.
You two always seem so understanding of others situations and it's very nice to watch rather than watching people get made fun of. Thank you for being kind.
I love how respectful and understanding they are ❤️❤️
Yeah, these girls are an example to live by. As an old korean proverb says : "If you are the judge, you shall be judged too".
@@Schniiiiiiiiiiiiif periodt pooh
I feel so bad for them bcs fat shaming goes to little chubby ppl so imagine what they go through its horrible their mother isn't supportive
Isnt it shameful to be this greedy/gluttonous? I think its kind of insensitive to the fact people are starving in the world. If I do something wrong, shouldnt I feel shame about it? Its weird that people think self harm is something to be proud of.
@@nullakjg767 Thats gives you no right to comment on a persons weight though, its never an excuse. People go through things and food might be a coping mechanism for them (though it is unhealthy) The best way to help people be less gluttonous is to support them and help them with their mental issues. Good mental health goes a long way.
@@nullakjg767 Lol nobody said or implied that self harm or overeating was something to be proud of, you're tripping
@@nullakjg767 of course skinny shaming and starvation is real but that has nothing to do with this obviously starvation comes from having a small amount of food, being shameful of your body etc. But them eating alot is not a choice it's just they never learned to be "fit". Honestly fat and skinny ppl go through equal pain but imagine the stares the giggles they get for eating to much. It's shameful and why are you bringing up skinny shaming if that's not what this is about.
@@nullakjg767 Sure, yes it is shameful to be greedy and gluttonous. However, their environment and their family really should've been there for them and taught them better and helped them instead of shaming them. As said in the video, they were living in poverty and fast food was the cheapest option for them to get a meal.
Having your social group constantly shame you and degrade you; drives you to something that can be used as a coping mechanism which in their case, was food so shaming really is going to help (I'm fine with self-shame because it can be used to give them more motivation but I do not agree with someone constantly being shamed). I really don't know why you are actually justifying borderline child abuse. It is not normal for a family to degrade their child. Additionally, who told you that self-harm is something to be proud of??? I really don't understand where you got that from. I've known plenty of people who have gone through self-harm and NONE of them are 'proud' of it. If anything they were ashamed by it and they did it from self-loathing and as a cry of help. This comment is the most BS I've read in a while.
You guys are the best! The commentary really adds to the show and I love your encouraging attitudes :)
I really appreciated how much they understood the socioeconomic limitations when it comes to food in the U.S. Most Americans don’t even understand this issue. Thank you! 👍🏼
I’ve been overweight most of my life, though not to that degree. Then I fractured my back and couldn’t walk for a year. That was 20 yrs ago and still have that 50 lbs on top of my usual weight. Thank you both for being so kind about this. I just love your channel and your grandma! I’m 69, so I’m not your demographic, but here I am, treasuring you all. 🙏🏻❤️💋👏🏻
Its really cool to see such a cool, and accepting older person on UA-cam, a lot of older people on this platform say “Why don’t you just eat less?” Or, “gen z is lazy and do not work as hard as we do!”.
"I'll start the diet tomorrow" if this isn't me 😂😂😂💔
Ik this is irrelevant but u got pretty eyes...
@@urspicyabuelita4534 great. great....
You guys are so sweet. I’m so glad I found your channel! 💕
your reaction videos are so cute! they even have a calming effect to it
Damn, this show is too sad I’m crying. Raised by their grandma, but when she died they had no one ):
yeah.... as a grandma-girl too ........... made me so sad..... Though I think the mom was just stressed from working so many jobs to be the mom she wanted to be......... T__T so sadddd
@@marching27 nah fam. No matter how many jobs you work, you should find a way to make your children feel loved. What she did wasn't right.
@@marching27 Either way showing your other kids love but picking two kids that you’re putting down constantly? That’s no excuse my mom had 4 jobs & never put any of her kids down everything she did was for us she was & still is our number one supporter
She raised 5 kids? No. To me it sounds like she *had* 5 kids. Raising them is a whole different story. You can't just leave your kids to their own devices and call that raising them.
But still, Amy needs to lose the equivalent of one me and Tammy needs to lose 2 me's to get to about what I weigh I'm at and I already feel like I should be mindful of what I stuff my face with.
I love you two, being respectful, helpful and very sweet to the sisters, ❤️❤️
i absolutely love the empathy ya'll express in this video. you view these people as human beings and not as entertainment. that's so respectful and i appreciate it
I love you two's friendship 🥺🥺
(SPOILERS) Honestly, it was discouraging to me to see how Tammy's treatment was handled. Expecting a radical diet change that would result in her losing 60lbs right away to prep for surgery after a lifetime of detrimental eating was not realistic. Yes, the weight absolutely WOULD drop off of her if she were eating healthy foods in appropriate portions, but she needed time and help to get to that point. And when she lost 10lbs--probably the first time she'd seen her weight trending downward in years if not decades--she was shamed over not having lost ENOUGH weight. What she NEEDS is sustained therapy and attention to nutrition and eating habits. You can tell from the videos on her youtube channel that she's managed to keep off a little bit of weight from the show--maybe 20-30lbs? And thought she says the entire experience of being on the show has exhausted her (and it seems like she's making a genuine effort to expose herself to "healthier" foods, just not IDEAL foods), 99% of the comments she gets are fat shaming and concern trolling. 😭 I wish a registered eating disorder therapist that specializes in binge eating disorder would reach out and offer to take her on as a client for free. It really hurts my heart to see the way she's being treated--you can tell that she's such an intelligent and kind person.
I love this series !!
These to girls reciting just warms my heart. They are being really nice and stuff they even made really nice compliments. These are really good people. :)
I know that every comment is saying this but I really genuinely appreciate seeing two beautiful women being so non-judgmental and supportive. I'm also overweight and it can really hurt to see the way people react, so it was super refreshing. Also the lil comment about their accent was sweet, I'm also from Kentucky so that made me smile 🥺
my favourite channel! i love how respectful and understanding you guys are! love from london❤️❤️
참 다정하게 잘 봐주셔서 보면서도 참 편안했어요.
같이 응원해주시는 모습 멋짐
I was hesitant to click on this video, but now I 100% see why it was recommended to me. I love how sincerely you care and how compassionate you are towards their situation. Please continue, and I'll keep watching ❤️❤️❤️
I love their reactions so much they're so genuine...
And this, Zoey, is why we *know* Grandma OK is such a treasure...give her our love!
i love how she went into a whole analysis of americas dietary problems XD
I honestly wasn’t expecting you guys to be so amazing and supportive. This is my first time watching and you guys are so inspirational!❤️
Even if you get the surgery - you still need to stop eating bacon lasagna.
Adding bacon makes it keto lol
@@jayeff15 not with the pasta sheets in it
I'm not sure of you've seen the full show but Amy does make a huge difference in both exercise and diet, ultimately losing 100lbs by the end of the show and getting surgery. And she's probably lost even more from the end of the show until now. Tammy still struggles with the mental portion of it and didn't get approved for surgery. Amy clearly responded much better to the therapy and coping mechanisms than Tammy did.
@@kylereder7468 I admit I haven't seen the show, but from what I could see of the first episode, it seems Amy has more support and incentive. Having a loving husband, a home, even her little dog- it gives her something to fight for. Sadly, I think because Tammy's only real support comes from Amy, it's harder for her to overcome things. I'm glad to hear Amy is doing better, but I do feel sad for Tammy.
They both have UA-cam channels. Amy (Amy Slaton) has really come very far. Shes looking great.
Tammy is still struggling.
You guys are so encouraging! I love watching you guys do these kinds of videos, it really shows what supportive, uplifting, and caring people you are!
I love how respectful you guys are~ It's so refreshing
The two girls’ comments are so kind.🕊
Thank you both for your genuine kindness and understanding. I have a friend that is very obese, I try to help her, but she like these sisters has to want to help herself.
This is a beautiful video to me. I am a fat American and I am afraid to travel because I am so scared of what people would think about me. It was beautiful that you saw these two sisters as struggling human beings who need help, not mockery or criticism. I wish people would see the same for me, that I'm struggling with mental issues and serious emotional traumas that cause me to compulsively overeat, its not laziness or just because I don't want to be better.
Hey want to tell us about your emotional trauma what happened
Hope you're doing well buddy, you have support here ❤️
I love this, it feels like you are actually watching a show with friends who make comments occasionally and when appropriate. Most people just talk over the entire show trying to be witty and entertaining and you can't even enjoy the video. They also might be the sweetest and most nonjudgemental people I've ever seen. 💕
What compassionate Korean ladies. They showed so much maturity and empathy. They really won my respect and heart.
The sheer amount of empathy that you both have makes my heart so full! You should watch the full series, Amy had the gastric surgery and lost the weight but Tammy struggled and only lost a small amount but is still on her weight loss journey now.
Love you guys 💖
Two Korean women nail the obesity problem in America in two minutes fat, I mean flat.
🤣🤣🤣
Nope. The problem is laziness. Doesnt matter how much u eat if u are burning off calories by simply doing shit. Exercise, work, walking...Something other than sitting at home 24 hours a day.
brad k there's this thing called depression. I suggest you read about it, it's crippling and affects many people. Add in some childhood trauma and anxiety over weight and you have the perfect storm. Of course, it's also activity, but you can't force people who are depressed or anxious to do something they find excruciating
not necessarily, i always see the claims that good food is too expensive in america so poor people end up having to buy junk food but from what i can see at my local grocery store healthy food is pretty inexpensive. i can get 3 broccoli bushels or whatever they're called for 2 dollars, 2 chicken thighs for 3 and some rice for about another 2. compare that which can make at least 2 meals with going to somewhere like mcdonalds where a combo meal cost around 7 or 8 dollars for a single significantly less healthy meal. I do agree the problems of obesity in america are multifaceted but people are often quick to claim eating healthy isn't as affordable as unhealthy and then compare sweetgreen selling salads for 13 bucks to mcdonalds selling a combo meal for 8 without even considering home cooking or take the price of groceries as a one time price and compare that to mcdonalds like a person only shops for 1 meal at a time when going to the grocery store.
you wish you knew not everyone has the time to cook, and prepping a frozen meal for your kid because you’re too tired after work is a reality for many from what ive seen in america.
Her comment on Americans eating what is affordable was very insightful.
i love that yall were so sweet and honest during this and not rude jerks because everyone is beautiful and equal and worthy of the same love from everyone
this is just heartbreaking :( those poor ladies
@Mike C clearly they were emotionally eating because of the way their mother was. I find it hard to see someone in physical and emotional pain.
You guys have honestly become one of my favorite youtube reaction channels. You’re so kind and understanding and nonjudgmental. You’re such amazing women and so many more people should strive to be like you guys❤️
Congratulations! Your comment is *UNDERRATED!!*
I love this UA-cam channel it’s my favourite!! ❤️
why is this literally the most empathetic and understanding video about this topic that i have ever seen...
love you girls so dearly, feel like you're my long-distant Korean sisters!! i get sooo excited when you upload! 😭😭💕💕💕💕 love from Richmond, Virginia
I feel bad for Tammy. Having to deal with a mother like that. She sounds so evil. Like even if she doesn't think she'll do it, she could at least encourage her to her face. She's trying.
Like the fact that the mom had to say, "It's her fault, I'm a fighter!!" as if the way she raised them would have had no impact.
True but she was also right in saying you need willpower to overcome it.
@@OveranalyzingEverything You do know it's possible to be right *and* nice, don't you? Just a pinch of 'you can do it' would've made a world of difference, but lil' miss tough-stuff can't be bothered to fix her own mental problems and would rather cause some in everyone she meets.
She even justified herself being a good mom by saying, "I raised 5 kids. It's their fault."
I love your channel so much. The two of you and your grandma are beautiful souls. I appreciate you.
This was awesome. It’s so easy to judge people without seeing the bigger picture. Thank you for being so impartial and understanding that it’s not always a choice.
