My older sister met a guy who enables her to eat. He orders uber eats, seamless order around the clock for junk food. Now she is overweight and so is he, i tried to talk to her about it but now she cut off contact with me after i confronted about the unhealthy lifestyle.
I understand once signing onto the show, everyone has agreed to be on camera, real and raw, but the idea of having an entire film crew with me watching me naked and struggling to bathe while they just record seems so awful and humiliating
I totally agree and I don't know why they would want to film someone using the restroom & bathing, I mean clearly it's a struggle just to get out of bed and move through the house so we know that bathing would be the same so what's the point of being that invasive, idc how much they're paying, you've got to know when to draw the line for the sake of your own dignity ya know
@@HASCAN_PRIME "Your logic is sound..." Okay, Spock. ;D Sorry. But none of these women started out thin and "got obese." They were all obese since childhood/teen years. They always talk about that in their backstory bios, showing pictures of themselves as some roley poley kid, talking about how "food was their comfort" due to some terrible family life or abuse going on. (It's to the point where every story on this show just blends in with the rest.....they're all cookie cutter. Same sad childhoods, same bad eating habits instilled from an early age, using food as a comfort source; then each episode is structured in the exact same scripted way, showing them trying to get out of bed every day, saying nearly word-for-word verbatim scripts about "I don't know how I let myself get this way..." "It hurts to move..." "I dread waking up every day...." while using the toilet and showering. It's literally a paint by numbers script, and nobody questions it.) So by the time their husband found them as adults it was already a done deal. And that's exactly *why* the husbands chose them. They could have easily gone for a normal sized woman, but they honed in on the one that was already topping 350-400 pounds when they first met, then proceeded to keep packing on several hundred more pounds over the years. None of these women started out as stick thin looking models who put on like, 550 pounds after marriage. (Again, the Zsalynn ep. being a great example where she admits her husband sought her out due to having a fetish.) It's not cynicism. Or even an opinion. It's straight up facts. I've watched enough of these shows over the years to know what I'm talking about. The husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend relationships on this show are pretty much all toxic and codependent, sometimes outright abusive, with both partners having a host of issues. Watch long enough, with enough episodes and the truth reveals itself. There have been multiple eps where the husbands were cheating and/or se xting with other women, so they weren't the devoted saints they initially appeared to be. Others where the emotional/psychological abuse and purposeful enabling also began revealing itself over the course of the episode. Etc.
faye mcarthur I saw the whole episode and the nephew went with her to Dr Nas . He is doing the diet and weight loss with her. The nephew has lost a lot of weigh too. Her husband is 💯the best man .
And being this size at 15 years old, is even worse than her situation, because imagine, if he doesn't change habits, in which condition he will be in a few years..
@@niray3123 wait he's HOW old? I thought he was like 27. Wow imagine being over 500lbs at only 15 years old. I'm 16, weigh about 127 pounds and still feel kinda bad about my body. I hope this kid gets the help he needs.
@@cringefailtastic You shouldn't feel bad about your body :) but yes, it's unbelievable how such a young person can let himself be in such a terrible condition
Exactly. It’s just food? No, look at you and your aunt. It’s much more than food, it’s definitely processed death that also makes you gain 2 times faster than non processed. His nephew isn’t far from being to big to walk too, but its just food lol
@@marilynwillett804 You can use gorgeous to describe the voice as well. Did you just read one definition of the word and decided to lecture everyone about it? 😂😁
People need to understand that this is a serious addiction. She seems like the sweetest person and also her husband!!! Wishing the very best for all of them!
@@babybat_69 lol screw addiction. Losing weight is rediculouly hard. It's so easy to gain weight and crazy hard to work off. But yeah I agree with you. Addiction is hard sometimes you need therapy.
I feel like it’s like two drug addicts who get high together, they’re both in this fog of hopelessness and food that they don’t mean to drag each other down but they do. It actually breaks my heart
@@dawn4337 your obviously a troll and a snowflake. If you can find one part of her or her personality that is truly beautiful I will eat her daily food intake..she has a lazy personality and is the type of person who will say it's water weight and the government are to blame...if she were a horse she would have been melted down for glue a long time ago. She's nothing more than a battery now. I say plug her in and use her.
I know this woman in real life. She's one of the sweetest, most caring people you could ever know. It's amazing to see the progress she's made in the present day. EDIT: Thank you all so much for all the kind replies. Yes, she has made so much progress and looks much better now. She is by far one of the most inspirational people in my life and has helped me get through some personal issues. Again, thank you all and God bless.
You think if he wouldn't have she would be okay with it? She'd throw a fit and guilt him. It's her life if she wants to kill herself, who's to stand in her way?
The way she explains her story is heartbreaking. She takes responsibility but admits she has an addiction. The nephew doesn't seem to care so much what he's doing to himself.
E O' C very blind to see what he is doing not only to himself but his aunty as well they can’t just love food they have to be covering up certain issues possibly mental health issues and things that happened in their lives it’s like binge eating no way you eat that much if you’re mentally fine so definitely some issues I hope the show sets up counselling for them because something ain’t right
Robin is so raw, honest and sweet The way her hubby spoke of his love for her was beautiful and what a nice guy her nephew is I hope they are all doing well
@@juliajaeger8175 none of them Are monsters and you’re not a monster, if you want to lose the weight you can do it. I’ve been using just dance and cutting down food.. it works.
The nephew said “I don’t feel like I enable her” after he brings her a burger and soda for breakfast and takes her to get all this bad food. I hope they both get the help they need
I can’t judge them. I honestly know what they feel. I went through a moment in my life were I would eat without being hungry. Or wake up in the middle of the night just to stuff my face with cake, cookies, chips and ice cream. I felt like food was comforting me. No one knew how lonely I was feeling. I would wake up sad and regretting how much junk food I had the night before. Until I made a decision to change my eating habits and I’m feeling pretty good. now. I wake up happy and with energy.
I never ate a ton of sugar but drank too much soda and also ate like fast food too much. It was a pretty sad time in my life. However now I feel like I can't do that I have to maintain same size so I can atleast wear normal clothes etc.
So true I had that problem with binge eating some nights that I would wake up from my sleep feeling very sick !! It was horrible but I changed my whole eating habits, a while 360 and I feel great better than I did in my 20s ! Good for you it’s the best decision to make in life is to put your health first !
I've lost 65 pounds and I'm 5 pounds away from leaving the obese category. For over a year I have been strong and on track with only a few small slip ups. I do give myself a weekly cheat day so I don't go crazy though. Then I gave myself a break for the holidays. I gained 3 pounds. During my "break" I ate and ate and ate. I was always struggling to reach the level of satiety I could reach before my weight loss: Full and not thinking about eating more food or when my next meal would be. The problem is that I don't seem to have that mechanism anymore. Rather than reach that satiety I just wanted more and more food, hungry or not. When I'm on track I don't think about food, nor am I tempted to eat food. But the level of obsession was very intense while I was on my break. Getting back on track has been more difficult than I thought it would be. I'm finally there but wow that was not what I was expecting. Please be careful giving yourself breaks from weightloss so you don't go thru what I did.
For all the people asking why they film them bathing and getting dressed: This is a documentary/reality show. The producers want to film as much of REAL everyday life as possible. The reason why this show is so successful is because viewers see ALL of the struggles that obese people deal with on a daily basis, from getting out of bed, to bathing, relationships and food choices. We get to watch them overcome them or be consumed by them. It's genius really......
@@maryhudson3727 obviously they signed a contract so they are ok with that. I think its ok to show them showering because this is normal Life and everyone showers but especially the people in this show aren't really able to do Normal Things Like that.
No, it's like causing a train wreck to have something to look at. There is no need to dehumanize the person in the episode, but they choose to just to get gawkers to watch
@Lúzia A Morta it's not the shower, bruh. Its using the shower to make these people ashamed of themselves. Why is that hard to understand? You're telling me to you wouldn't cover your nuts if someone came in to gawk at you? Don't be dense.
Did the nephew say he didn't feel bad about getting bad food for her? And then say "it's just food? Yeah, food that got you and your aunt to the size you are.
carolina alejandra u took the words right out of my mouth, if it’s “ just food” then why are y’all so obsessed with it, you’ve eaten it many times , why not back off!!!
That's the thing, when you grow up eating processed food, you do just see it as the food your mom gave you, and you assume it must be healthy and wholesome food. The reality is all the stuff in the middle aisles of the grocery stores are junk. A healthy looking meal may actually have MSG in it, which only makes your food cravings worse. You have to completely re-educate yourself.
Some things you don't really observe, you just make sure the person is in the frame and they're in focus so you can collect your check, you know what I mean? You don't have to ogle and you really shouldn't anyway
0:32 "The most difficult time of my morning is the first time I have to stand, just the thought of moving makes me want to cry." I can't imagine that being the hardest part of my day.
It's demeaning how they always make the person strip down in front of the camera. These are real people. They have feelings. It's disrespectful. It makes me sad for them.
They are usually consenting to this in the contracts that TLC gives them. Not always but usually. It’s sad that they strip down on the show, but it’s how they show what it’s like living as large as them.
its not like theyre being forced, they know what the show entails, and i think they have worse problems to worry about, plus its there as a way of showing the horror of being that obese, and works well as shock therapy to morivate people to get out oif the overeating, to show why not to get to that point ever, or ever again
My heart is just broken for this woman and people that struggle with their weight. You can just hear the sadness in her voice. This brought tears to my eyes listening to her and her husband.
@@ms.whitefolks1223 The way her mind sees food and gets anxiety knowing food is coming or when she's about to go to the store is what Im referring to !
@@ms.whitefolks1223 Also there's methadone/suboxone clinics where many addicts go first thing in the morning for their "dose" and still continue doing well in recovery 🤷
I bet she takes a shit ton of norcos or Percoceta too! There is now way she can move around with that much weight without it and her legs look like she has surgery scars on them!
I felt that so much.. I’m an addict myself and when she said that I said to myself wow it isn’t much different then the anxiety I get when waiting for my drugs. I guess addition is the same weather it be drugs or food or whatever else. Sad we develop these habits..
Well I was thinking last week how they are all the greatest commentators. But the best part is when they really really do let themselves get the help that they need. Oh yeah I'm crying I know what a food addiction is. I was 325 lb when I had my surgery. And I was that way for 20 years and let me tell you I have degenerative spine disease I just have so many bone problems its on real .My feet have collapsed three times so Bones spurs . Toe pains. Bones spurs on my lower spine . they're rotten bugers . My hips also shit from being over weight. So yes when the damage is done it sure sucks to be you but at least they are getting help. And I really adore her voice. The weight lose I have is a gift bone achs it pains or not .IM SO HAPPY NOW. I wish them all luck and blessings.
I don’t understand why people let themselves get this big. I’m a big girl and watching these have completely changed my mindset. I want to live my life and I’ve lost 13 pounds in one month so far. If you want it that much you really can do something about it!
Isolation, mental illness and a lack of education. You'll notice it's almost always someone from the middle of nowhere, someone traumatized or someone with at least one extreme enabler who wants to make them happy, but not necessarily healthy. It's a vicious cycle, unfortunately. Good on you for taking the steps to break it. Wishing you all the best to keep getting better!
I get why it's hard to understand how people let themselves get this big, but I've never seen an episode of this show where the person DOESN'T have some kind of childhood trauma or came from a broken home. The use food to cope like a lot of people use drugs, and when you're addicted all rationality is taken over by your addiction, so I feel sympathetic towards these people. Congrats on your weight loss by the way!
why does TLC need to show these people absolutely naked and while they bath or use your toilet we dont need to see that i know these people got this way from over eating but they are human show some compassion.
That’s what I was thinking! If it was a slim and fit person, that type of footage would probably be considered too “risqué”. But maybe she chose to do it willingly. If so, then I commend her for being vulnerable. It takes courage to show your bare body and to have your daily routine filmed. But it allows us to better understand the toll it’s taken on her and I hope she gets the help she needs.🙏🏾
Kolina Neumann I completely agree, idk I feel like that step is kinda needed for them selves to see also? Looking In the mirror is so different than film up close like that
Nevada Very true! It’s must’ve been an eye opener to see it on T.V because it’s like seeing you’re appearance from an outsiders perspective. But maybe she had to go to that extent in order to motivate herself. 💫
I'd love to see her receipts for a whole month after she goes grocery shopping. It would interest me what she buys and HOW MUCH she actually spends.💲💲 I really wish they'd highlight the financial aspect of it as well.
That’s such a huge part of what I think about. Food is crazy expensive nowadays. Every time I go shopping for 2 people we spend so much and I limit myself to like 3 junk food items. I can’t imagine.
Yes yes yes! Take out food and all that processed stuff and just the amount of it everyday. How much is this addiction costing? I saw no fruit or veg . No cooking is done!
same here - and I’ve seen other videos (not necessarily on this channel) where the comments have been viscous and jokes about their looks, physical pain, emotional pain, etc - I’m appalled at how horrible people can be
@@youreactuallyright5168 its not different, it depends on the person. Videogames and food can be as addicting to someone who has never tried drugs compared to heroin for a heroin addict
James does come across as an understanding, helpful spouse but if he really wanted to help her he would get her the professional help she and her nephew need to stop the addiction to food. They will both die too young and James will be left a caring widower.
I was just thinking if she fell there's no way he could help her back up! I don't mean that in an insulting way just factual 😢 how scary to think If I fell no one near me could help me up!
Heck i'd leave her the minute she gets this size if i was him. If she was blind, deaf, paralyzed, or poor i would still love and takecare of her. i'd still stay with her even if she gains a little weight but the minute she gets to this size i'd dump and leave her especially when she could've prevented it. Life is short and must be lived to the happiest to the fullest.
You actually wouldn’t believe their love story. They met online and texted each other for a month and then he drove in for a date and they had an instant connection, and when he drove in for a 2nd date, they got married that exact night.
Every one of these stories is about enabling people. They obviously love eachother and for some reason they are in denial that they are killing eachother.
He's so in love that he's watching her destroy herself.. heart breaking to watch your loved one cause their own suffering... it sad that while he's at work her family enables.
I would dump her in a minute of she was my partner..I've already lived with a roommate like that who ate himself to death...he hadn't taken a bath in two years..
I noticed when she said “I wish my body could handle doing it more often.” She didn’t say that about showering, visiting family, or getting out of the house. She only said that about getting food. What a pathetic and depressing mentality.
It's an addiction. You know it's bad for you but you can't help it. She says food brings comfort and the only thing she looks forward to which I agree is depressing. She just needs help and I hope she is getting it.
Same mindset as an anorexic wishing their bodies could handle going without food for longer. She is depressed, the only source of happiness comes from food; all of the macromolecules released during eating makes her feel good but of course it doesnt aid her health in the least. Same way with anorexia, after you hit a certain point of starvation and the body starts cannibalising on its reserves, it starts to feel good, cause you are releasing serotonin and dopamine to avoid pain while consuming your own reserves. Thats why these people need psychological aid along with their other lifestyle changes. Because in my experience, a good counselor will hold you accountable on the shit you have fucked up on, plus help you create healthy coping skills so you wont feel inclined to fall back into bad habits.
By far my favorite person ever on this show. She’s intelligent, loving, respectful, calm and beautiful. I really hope she’s been able to loose the weight she wanted to and feels better emotionally. She definitely deserves all the happiness and love life has to offer …. the way her hubby loves her is also amazing. God bless you guys and your nephew! 💜🙏💜
Yep. Which is I never believe people that claim to eat healthy if they're THAT obese. It would take eating a freaking truckload of carrots a day to maintain such a weight
@@DMWBN3 Oh my fucking god don't call them 'creatures'. More often then not they're people struggling with fucking trauma and the food is an escape. Most of the people on this show have been abused, neglected or fucking raped as children.
VirtualForeseer there wasn’t a single item from the produce section in their basket... I didn’t see one clear plastic bag containing any fruit or vegetables. Amazing
Not to be rude or anything but, how tf can she and her nephew still breathe and not have a heart attack or stroke already it just baffles me (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ
The sad reality is I can’t imagine he’s being genuine about that. He’s probably only with her out of desperation. That’s like a beautiful woman being with a man who has no personality, no confidence, and no status in life. It’s just not reality.
@@xanthishome156I can believe it. I'm starting a debate of who's right or wrong here, nor am I going to judge him from a small clip but ijs I can believe that ppl put on a good front for the public n then turn around n become evil behind closed doors.
It's that mentality that traps them in a cycle of misery and craving the thing that makes them miserable because it makes them feel good in the moment. It's just like any other addiction. The only cure is self control.
How does the nephew still do everything while she is stuck in a wheelchair they are about the same size. It won't be long before he's probably even worse than her.
Looking past her extremities and struggles, I can honestly see and hear in Robyn’s voice that she has a genuinely sweet heart ❤️ I truly hope and pray the best for her and her physical/mental health.
Sadly, a person can continue to love the person they married like family and take care of them like their own child or sister or mom because they’ve been together so long that bond can’t be severed... And at the very same time be completely turned off by them. Only love them like family and have a side piece.🤷🏻♀️ It’s sad but true. He may not BUT we don’t know anything about him. Let’s not talk about his place with Jesus just cuz he said he loves his wife.
The most heartbreaking voiceover ever. Damn dude, I’ve had my struggles in life with addiction, unhealthy lifestyle, over eating, etc. but luckily I was able to turn it around and work out every chance I get every day, and now I’m actually purposefully gaining weight (muscle). This made me so grateful for my situation, and that I caught myself early enough for it to be easy for me. It makes me grateful that I hover and my problems and now what I’m going through is so superficial and easy compared to what it could have been. I really hope that she accomplished her goals and regained her health. I know for a fact that it’s possible, but I know that it’s hard as fuck in the beginning. Hopefully she gets to the point where she’s enjoying working out and enjoys her new life.
Addiction is no joke. Whether it’s heroin like what I’ve been through, or food. Addiction is recognized by APA and AMA as a chronic and progressive disease. It needs the proper biopsychosocial intervention. The issues aren’t entirely physical, they start as psychological and then change the neuroanatomy biochemistry and physiology resulting in the addictive behaviors in a positive feedback loop. Breaking the cycle goes against what your body has been redesigned to perpetuate so it’s physically and psychologically painful and traumatic, but over time the brain and body changes and the new habits (working out, etc.) become addictive and replace the old addictions, given the absence of relapse. She will make it, IF she has an apt care team of professionals and clinicians.
i got so invested with all the shit food in their cart i started making a list. taco shells liter of soda *3* bags of chips *3* packs of cookies jelly peanut butter 2 boxes of cereal gallon of milk 1 large pack of processed meat 1 box i can't identify.. could be another cereal another box that looks like either knock off cheezits or some crackers? a sack of flour .... probably to fry something a *TUB* of ice cream *AND* ice cream sandwiches eggs *6lbs?!?!* of jalapeño cheese sauce 2 packs of butter a bag of frozen broccoli a bag of grapes... on further inspection i think they're actually *cherries* 2 loaves of sliced bread a large sack of potatoes a bag of sugar another bag that says potatoes... she must really like potatoes. and this is all one trip that she'll probably devour in 2 days. 😲
Geese, reading the list and looking at the cart literally makes my stomach feel sick. I’m sorry if it sounds rude, but idk how someone could eat like this and not get physically sick from it.
that last bit wasn’t necessary. she’s ashamed and she has her reasons. she’s trying, you don’t even know how it feels so at least be happy abt that instead of typing things that aren’t helpful
There is something neurological happening to people who are this addicted to food. I wish that’s where the research would go. This is an addiction problem, it must be as dreadful as other addictions. 😢 and OMG that massive tin of cheese??? What the actual f#$k is that ? Nobody needs to make, sell, buy or consume a 10 kilo tin of cheese, it’s absurd and obscene in equal measure.
Totally agree. I’m 5 ft 8 and my highest was 252. Didn’t look as big as I was but I felt the weight in joints,back etc.. I’ve been an emotional eater for about 20 yrs and they actually studied a food addicts brain and the brain of a person on coke,. The same exact chemicals were activated when the food addict are food and when the cocaine addict sniffed coke.
It's the sugar we put in everything. Lab studies with rodents have shown that they were willing to get shocked to get sugar instead of eating other food. It's the same with humans.
@@saltwaterangling472 Sometimes self control isn't enough. Would you tell someone who's heavily addicted to heroin to have self control? You know they can't and it's the same here. She has a serious food addiction that will kill her if she doesn't get help. Just like if she was on a drug. Your body finds pleasure or comfort in something and it wants more.
I know she consented to being filmed, but it's just strange seeing how the camera crew films her getting naked and using the bathroom.... They can at least give her some privacy. Also her husband James.... That's true love man wow
IT'S her Choice, who are you to then try and make her out to be MORE OF A VICTIM,, she is a grown ass women who made grown ass choices, if you dont agree with something, dont do it in ur life...... BUT dont try and victimize someone who made GROWN ASS CHOICES for herself
I really don't understand when people say that "I have gotten this big". Truthfully, it should be said, "I have made myself so big". That's a start to really healing.
my god and she said eating help her forget her problems but dat the reason u in this problem u eat to mush and in a minute yr nephew will be in the same pos as u are
He doesn't eat like the others I guess. He does work so hes active as well. I never understood the horrible fact that when they cant take care of themselves, others are bringing them all that food. I wish i could live with them for a month. I have no tollerance for people that have temper tantrums. They are literally killing her and themselves. So sad.
Amy Stone I know right, that’s why I told my parents I am not being disrespectful but y’all need to get up and get your own food. Giving them unhealthy food it’s like giving them poison but it’s just killing them slowly😔

Difference is that you can outwardly see their addiction.
TLC got another ep form here.
And the camera time..being on TV when your life is boring must be exciting to him
he's younger so his weight hasn't affected him as much yet, just my assumption
It looks like the only difference between her and her nephew is 15y of cartilage deterioration. They're close to the same size.
They are actually the same size. And he is not HELPING her (as he said), he is basically enabling her.
And being this size at 15 years old, is even worse than her situation, because imagine, if he doesn't change habits, in which condition he will be in a few years..
HES 15???!! i thought he was like 30
@@niray3123 wait he's HOW old? I thought he was like 27. Wow imagine being over 500lbs at only 15 years old. I'm 16, weigh about 127 pounds and still feel kinda bad about my body. I hope this kid gets the help he needs.

@@oliviaobiaja theyre horrible. I would too. The texture is gag inducing
Exactly. It’s just food? No, look at you and your aunt. It’s much more than food, it’s definitely processed death that also makes you gain 2 times faster than non processed. His nephew isn’t far from being to big to walk too, but its just food lol

The way she explains her story is heartbreaking. She takes responsibility but admits she has an addiction. The nephew doesn't seem to care so much what he's doing to himself.
Seeing that young boy come in like that ..... breaks my heart too
@Robbie French U heartless bastard
Robbie French you don’t need to play a role in someone’s situation to feel bad for them
I’m nowhere near her size but I understand her struggle with food. It’s real and it’s hard

@@biguncle554 me lol
I can’t judge them. I honestly know what they feel. I went through a moment in my life were I would eat without being hungry. Or wake up in the middle of the night just to stuff my face with cake, cookies, chips and ice cream. I felt like food was comforting me. No one knew how lonely I was feeling. I would wake up sad and regretting how much junk food I had the night before. Until I made a decision to change my eating habits and I’m feeling pretty good. now. I wake up happy and with energy.
I never ate a ton of sugar but drank too much soda and also ate like fast food too much. It was a pretty sad time in my life. However now I feel like I can't do that I have to maintain same size so I can atleast wear normal clothes etc.
So true I had that problem with binge eating some nights that I would wake up from my sleep feeling very sick !! It was horrible but I changed my whole eating habits, a while 360 and I feel great better than I did in my 20s !
Good for you it’s the best decision to make in life is to put your health first !
I've lost 65 pounds and I'm 5 pounds away from leaving the obese category. For over a year I have been strong and on track with only a few small slip ups. I do give myself a weekly cheat day so I don't go crazy though.
Then I gave myself a break for the holidays.
I gained 3 pounds.
During my "break" I ate and ate and ate. I was always struggling to reach the level of satiety I could reach before my weight loss: Full and not thinking about eating more food or when my next meal would be.
The problem is that I don't seem to have that mechanism anymore. Rather than reach that satiety I just wanted more and more food, hungry or not. When I'm on track I don't think about food, nor am I tempted to eat food.
But the level of obsession was very intense while I was on my break.
Getting back on track has been more difficult than I thought it would be.
I'm finally there but wow that was not what I was expecting. Please be careful giving yourself breaks from weightloss so you don't go thru what I did.
it's okay if you're still feeling lonely you can talk to me or anyone here :)
For all the people asking why they film them bathing and getting dressed: This is a documentary/reality show. The producers want to film as much of REAL everyday life as possible. The reason why this show is so successful is because viewers see ALL of the struggles that obese people deal with on a daily basis, from getting out of bed, to bathing, relationships and food choices. We get to watch them overcome them or be consumed by them. It's genius really......
Still know good excuse to show them naked. With all the other things they show about their obese living abilities. WE GET THE PICTURE
Mary Hudson They blurred everything out lol
@@maryhudson3727 obviously they signed a contract so they are ok with that. I think its ok to show them showering because this is normal Life and everyone showers but especially the people in this show aren't really able to do Normal Things Like that.
No, it's like causing a train wreck to have something to look at. There is no need to dehumanize the person in the episode, but they choose to just to get gawkers to watch
@Lúzia A Morta it's not the shower, bruh. Its using the shower to make these people ashamed of themselves. Why is that hard to understand? You're telling me to you wouldn't cover your nuts if someone came in to gawk at you? Don't be dense.
She says eating makes her forget everything, but the problem is that ignoring the problem doesn’t make it go away sadly
I know, man.
.
Yeah i wish that would happen🙁
😢
same for drugs & alcohol. that’s why it becomes an addiction.
Did the nephew say he didn't feel bad about getting bad food for her? And then say "it's just food? Yeah, food that got you and your aunt to the size you are.
he is in denial I am sure he knows what is wrong, but having the same problem as his aunt maybe he uses it as an excuse
Looking like twins lol
carolina alejandra u took the words right out of my mouth, if it’s “ just food” then why are y’all so obsessed with it, you’ve eaten it many times , why not back off!!!
How mean r u wow be Nice or Leave !
That's the thing, when you grow up eating processed food, you do just see it as the food your mom gave you, and you assume it must be healthy and wholesome food. The reality is all the stuff in the middle aisles of the grocery stores are junk. A healthy looking meal may actually have MSG in it, which only makes your food cravings worse. You have to completely re-educate yourself.

It's demeaning how they always make the person strip down in front of the camera. These are real people. They have feelings. It's disrespectful. It makes me sad for them.
They are usually consenting to this in the contracts that TLC gives them. Not always but usually. It’s sad that they strip down on the show, but it’s how they show what it’s like living as large as them.
its not like theyre being forced, they know what the show entails, and i think they have worse problems to worry about, plus its there as a way of showing the horror of being that obese, and works well as shock therapy to morivate people to get out oif the overeating, to show why not to get to that point ever, or ever again

Its sad you have to eat to live. How well would a heroin/cocaine addict do in recovery if they had to use at least once a day.
@@ms.whitefolks1223 The way her mind sees food and gets anxiety knowing food is coming or when she's about to go to the store is what Im referring to !

I felt that so much.. I’m an addict myself and when she said that I said to myself wow it isn’t much different then the anxiety I get when waiting for my drugs. I guess addition is the same weather it be drugs or food or whatever else. Sad we develop these habits..

So peaceful and relaxing when she starts whining and crying in self pity.
Well I was thinking last week how they are all the greatest commentators. But the best part is when they really really do let themselves get the help that they need. Oh yeah I'm crying I know what a food addiction is. I was 325 lb when I had my surgery. And I was that way for 20 years and let me tell you I have degenerative spine disease I just have so many bone problems its on real .My feet have collapsed three times so Bones spurs . Toe pains. Bones spurs on my lower spine . they're rotten bugers . My hips also shit from being over weight. So yes when the damage is done it sure sucks to be you but at least they are getting help. And I really adore her voice. The weight lose I have is a gift bone achs it pains or not .IM SO HAPPY NOW. I wish them all luck and blessings.
She should want to be a good example for her nephew so he doesn't end up like her
He didn't have many examples of stable weight. His dad was the same size as her.
I tell my nephew stop eating junk food 24/7 but i realized he's actually skinny so i stopped caring also im not his mom
J Pezz little too late for that. He’s about the same size maybe bigger lol.
Too late.
J Pezz the nephew is as ill as she is. Is the tenancy to this weight genetic?
We need more guys like him who doesn't care if she's overweight it's so beautiful im gonna cry they're so perfect and cute together!
I don’t understand why people let themselves get this big. I’m a big girl and watching these have completely changed my mindset. I want to live my life and I’ve lost 13 pounds in one month so far. If you want it that much you really can do something about it!
Well done keep pushing it I have lost alot if weight right now am just maintaining my new body
Isolation, mental illness and a lack of education. You'll notice it's almost always someone from the middle of nowhere, someone traumatized or someone with at least one extreme enabler who wants to make them happy, but not necessarily healthy. It's a vicious cycle, unfortunately. Good on you for taking the steps to break it. Wishing you all the best to keep getting better!
I get why it's hard to understand how people let themselves get this big, but I've never seen an episode of this show where the person DOESN'T have some kind of childhood trauma or came from a broken home. The use food to cope like a lot of people use drugs, and when you're addicted all rationality is taken over by your addiction, so I feel sympathetic towards these people. Congrats on your weight loss by the way!
Girl same! I’m big but this woman is still 3x my size. I’ve lost 17 lbs since watching this show starting two months ago
Its an addiction just like anything else
why does TLC need to show these people absolutely naked and while they bath or use your toilet we dont need to see that i know these people got this way from over eating but they are human show some compassion.
rebecca williams they need
that shock factor unfortunately
That’s what I was thinking! If it was a slim and fit person, that type of footage would probably be considered too “risqué”.
But maybe she chose to do it willingly. If so, then I commend her for being vulnerable. It takes courage to show your bare body and to have your daily routine filmed. But it allows us to better understand the toll it’s taken on her and I hope she gets the help she needs.🙏🏾
Kolina Neumann I completely agree, idk I feel like that step is kinda needed for them selves to see also? Looking In the mirror is so different than film up close like that
For real though. I'd be like nah man get the fuck outta my house so I can take a shower.
Nevada
Very true! It’s must’ve been an eye opener to see it on T.V because it’s like seeing you’re appearance from an outsiders perspective. But maybe she had to go to that extent in order to motivate herself. 💫
I'd love to see her receipts for a whole month after she goes grocery shopping. It would interest me what she buys and HOW MUCH she actually spends.💲💲 I really wish they'd highlight the financial aspect of it as well.
Yes!! With the amount of food these people eat I'm surprised they dont show how expensive it is
That’s such a huge part of what I think about. Food is crazy expensive nowadays. Every time I go shopping for 2 people we spend so much and I limit myself to like 3 junk food items. I can’t imagine.
Yes yes yes! Take out food and all that processed stuff and just the amount of it everyday. How much is this addiction costing?
I saw no fruit or veg . No cooking is done!
THATS EXACTLY WHY I said this show is not about reality and that is not the reason they show them in the shower.
Look what she picks out, it’s all junk food....
First meal is fast food and soda! 🥤😯 Family doesn’t kill family slowly to the grave
I hate seeing how many people say terrible things to these people. It’s just like any other addiction someone could have. They could have depression

Her husband is so tiny. It is so weird when I see that and it makes me question the spouse and are they enablers because they have their own issues.
Dura Dun maybe he’s a feeder
James does come across as an understanding, helpful spouse but if he really wanted to help her he would get her the professional help she and her nephew need to stop the addiction to food. They will both die too young and James will be left a caring widower.
She makes her own choices it's not the husband's fault she's obese. She's not his child, she's grown.
I was just thinking if she fell there's no way he could help her back up! I don't mean that in an insulting way just factual 😢 how scary to think If I fell no one near me could help me up!
Dura Dun, it makes ME question how they’re intimate. You won’t even be able to see him.
The husband is a real one for staying and not leaving her
Facts ☹️
I would have dumped her in a minute..I workout 6 days a week..I didn't not want to be a caretaker for a morbidly obese person..
Heck i'd leave her the minute she gets this size if i was him. If she was blind, deaf, paralyzed, or poor i would still love and takecare of her. i'd still stay with her even if she gains a little weight but the minute she gets to this size i'd dump and leave her especially when she could've prevented it. Life is short and must be lived to the happiest to the fullest.
@@sciencetruth665 thank you...he does everything for her out of love when she doesn't love herself enough to attemp to eat better..
You actually wouldn’t believe their love story. They met online and texted each other for a month and then he drove in for a date and they had an instant connection, and when he drove in for a 2nd date, they got married that exact night.
Every one of these stories is about enabling people. They obviously love eachother and for some reason they are in denial that they are killing eachother.
Whoa. I was not expecting her husband to just be skin and bones: 2:33. Talk about a contrast.
The anorexic and the obese.
XL3R9 bruh not funny dude 🤦🏽♀️💀
He gets the crumbs
If he had any meat on his bones she would eat him!
He actually works to support her habit
What she got for food isn’t even considered food for “breakfast, dinner, etc..” it’s called “ snacks “.
Exactly. Nothing but junk.
She can't even get the food to herself. yet these people are giving more to her. wtf
And they give her terrible food. "Here is your poison. Enjoy"
I would be like just get it yourself
They're addicts. The nephew enables her so that he doesn't have to feel like the only disgusting blob in the world.
He's so in love that he's watching her destroy herself.. heart breaking to watch your loved one cause their own suffering... it sad that while he's at work her family enables.
I would dump her in a minute of she was my partner..I've already lived with a roommate like that who ate himself to death...he hadn't taken a bath in two years..
I noticed when she said “I wish my body could handle doing it more often.” She didn’t say that about showering, visiting family, or getting out of the house. She only said that about getting food. What a pathetic and depressing mentality.
It's an addiction. You know it's bad for you but you can't help it. She says food brings comfort and the only thing she looks forward to which I agree is depressing. She just needs help and I hope she is getting it.
"She just wishes her body could handle going to the grocery store more often"..wtf? Instead of wishing her body to become healthier.. 🙄
Same mindset as an anorexic wishing their bodies could handle going without food for longer. She is depressed, the only source of happiness comes from food; all of the macromolecules released during eating makes her feel good but of course it doesnt aid her health in the least.
Same way with anorexia, after you hit a certain point of starvation and the body starts cannibalising on its reserves, it starts to feel good, cause you are releasing serotonin and dopamine to avoid pain while consuming your own reserves.
Thats why these people need psychological aid along with their other lifestyle changes.
Because in my experience, a good counselor will hold you accountable on the shit you have fucked up on, plus help you create healthy coping skills so you wont feel inclined to fall back into bad habits.

The craziest thing is the amount of calories you need to eat to maintain these 400+ pound weights.
Yep. Which is I never believe people that claim to eat healthy if they're THAT obese. It would take eating a freaking truckload of carrots a day to maintain such a weight
They changed their diets and only eat 400calories a day, honest doctor.
Disgusting creatures, always whining and making excuses.
@@DMWBN3 Oh my fucking god don't call them 'creatures'. More often then not they're people struggling with fucking trauma and the food is an escape. Most of the people on this show have been abused, neglected or fucking raped as children.
Don't forget when they get to this size they rarely move so are burning less calories than most people.

@Shuronda Adkins ooh okii, I'm from southern California, riverside county :)
TLC literally films them from a lower angle on purpose when they’re doing interviews.
Yeah to show how big they are 😂
There is no good angle.
I’m 5’2 and weigh 165 lbs so I’m overweight for my height. My heart goes out to these people because I can understand how hard this journey is.
Being 30 pounds overweight is nothing compared to being 400 pounds overweight you can’t relate
I'm 4'11 and 10 I'm 90 pound

Oh calm down, are you people paid to give false compliments?
Dude walks in carrying the drink sideways like a psychopath
Shut up
I just wanted to shout out my dad a little bit on a video like this. Last may he weighed in at 414 and yesterday he was 343 :D
Congratulations to your dad!! I’m so proud 🎉🎊🍾🥳👏🏼🎈
That’s great progress! And so cute that you’re so proud of him (as you should be ☺️
Awesome! Congrats to your dad!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Congratulations to your dad. Great job. And congratulations to you as well for being so supportive.
“It’s just food?” 😳 That’s what got y’all to that point. I’m not the thinnest person but I’m not in denial either.
Food is what made her this way but yet she ONLY eats JUNK FOOD.
Junk food is literally like a drug. You only eat it its like being on crack
It's that mentality that traps them in a cycle of misery and craving the thing that makes them miserable because it makes them feel good in the moment. It's just like any other addiction. The only cure is self control.
it be like that
It is an addiction and is much more rooted in psychological health than anything else.
There was broccoli in there 😩
I just don’t get how these clearly disabled people have the money it takes to buy all of that food.
Gov assistance, ssi disability checks
The government never gave people enough to eat 3,000$ bucks of food each month. One has another needs besides food
How does the nephew still do everything while she is stuck in a wheelchair they are about the same size. It won't be long before he's probably even worse than her.
Probably the advantage of youth.
She said the cartilage in her knees has worn down completely. I think maybe because he’s a little younger his knees may have less wear and tear.

Looking past her extremities and struggles, I can honestly see and hear in Robyn’s voice that she has a genuinely sweet heart ❤️ I truly hope and pray the best for her and her physical/mental health.
That husband gets a fast pass into heaven when he dies. What a saint!
He is killing her
Sadly, a person can continue to love the person they married like family and take care of them like their own child or sister or mom because they’ve been together so long that bond can’t be severed... And at the very same time be completely turned off by them. Only love them like family and have a side piece.🤷🏻♀️ It’s sad but true. He may not BUT we don’t know anything about him. Let’s not talk about his place with Jesus just cuz he said he loves his wife.
@@falmiekeddy8270 damn girl, you got a lot goin on in your life, huh?
@Jeb Bush I’m sorry, I have no idea what that means
@Jeb Bush 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I didn’t literally mean I do not understand your words meanings. I meant I don’t know why you are saying that.
The most heartbreaking voiceover ever. Damn dude, I’ve had my struggles in life with addiction, unhealthy lifestyle, over eating, etc. but luckily I was able to turn it around and work out every chance I get every day, and now I’m actually purposefully gaining weight (muscle). This made me so grateful for my situation, and that I caught myself early enough for it to be easy for me. It makes me grateful that I hover and my problems and now what I’m going through is so superficial and easy compared to what it could have been.
I really hope that she accomplished her goals and regained her health. I know for a fact that it’s possible, but I know that it’s hard as fuck in the beginning. Hopefully she gets to the point where she’s enjoying working out and enjoys her new life.
Addiction is no joke. Whether it’s heroin like what I’ve been through, or food. Addiction is recognized by APA and AMA as a chronic and progressive disease. It needs the proper biopsychosocial intervention. The issues aren’t entirely physical, they start as psychological and then change the neuroanatomy biochemistry and physiology resulting in the addictive behaviors in a positive feedback loop. Breaking the cycle goes against what your body has been redesigned to perpetuate so it’s physically and psychologically painful and traumatic, but over time the brain and body changes and the new habits (working out, etc.) become addictive and replace the old addictions, given the absence of relapse. She will make it, IF she has an apt care team of professionals and clinicians.
Her voice Feels so relaxing She should be a narrator Or a voice actor its so soothing
Her voice is mfkn annoying asf
I feel so fat, even with all the images blurred of the food they got, I know exactly what they got lol
🤷♀️ lol I was naming out the products
Lol
Same lol 😂😂😂
ChrisOcon was it Popeyes? I can’t rlly tell
ChrisOcon 😂😂😂
The one thing she says brings her happiness is the one thing that takes away all her happiness. Self sabotage
Just like a drug addiction.
The only “healthy” thing I’ve seen them pick up was the frozen vegetable 🥲
“I love that woman with everything that I have in me”
What an amazing husband ❤️❤️❤️
i got so invested with all the shit food in their cart i started making a list.
taco shells
liter of soda
*3* bags of chips
*3* packs of cookies
jelly
peanut butter
2 boxes of cereal
gallon of milk
1 large pack of processed meat
1 box i can't identify.. could be another cereal
another box that looks like either knock off cheezits or some crackers?
a sack of flour .... probably to fry something
a *TUB* of ice cream *AND* ice cream sandwiches
eggs
*6lbs?!?!* of jalapeño cheese sauce
2 packs of butter
a bag of frozen broccoli
a bag of grapes... on further inspection i think they're actually *cherries*
2 loaves of sliced bread
a large sack of potatoes
a bag of sugar
another bag that says potatoes... she must really like potatoes.
and this is all one trip that she'll probably devour in 2 days. 😲
I think i lost a pound just reading this hella long list LMAO
Geese, reading the list and looking at the cart literally makes my stomach feel sick. I’m sorry if it sounds rude, but idk how someone could eat like this and not get physically sick from it.
“We need cheese for dinner” 6lbs damn what y’all makin
that last bit wasn’t necessary. she’s ashamed and she has her reasons. she’s trying, you don’t even know how it feels so at least be happy abt that instead of typing things that aren’t helpful
@yes LMFAOAOOAOSDK CHILEE
There is something neurological happening to people who are this addicted to food. I wish that’s where the research would go. This is an addiction problem, it must be as dreadful as other addictions. 😢 and OMG that massive tin of cheese??? What the actual f#$k is that ? Nobody needs to make, sell, buy or consume a 10 kilo tin of cheese, it’s absurd and obscene in equal measure.
Totally agree. I’m 5 ft 8 and my highest was 252. Didn’t look as big as I was but I felt the weight in joints,back etc.. I’ve been an emotional eater for about 20 yrs and they actually studied a food addicts brain and the brain of a person on coke,. The same exact chemicals were activated when the food addict are food and when the cocaine addict sniffed coke.
*ate*
No it's called self control
It's the sugar we put in everything. Lab studies with rodents have shown that they were willing to get shocked to get sugar instead of eating other food. It's the same with humans.
@@saltwaterangling472 Sometimes self control isn't enough. Would you tell someone who's heavily addicted to heroin to have self control? You know they can't and it's the same here. She has a serious food addiction that will kill her if she doesn't get help. Just like if she was on a drug. Your body finds pleasure or comfort in something and it wants more.
"it's just food"
yeah but it's also Killing you.
Jeez this is way more depressing than i thought it was gonna be.
I know she consented to being filmed, but it's just strange seeing how the camera crew films her getting naked and using the bathroom.... They can at least give her some privacy. Also her husband James.... That's true love man wow
She gets paid extra for that
@@SynterraSteen It still exploitative....
the husband being so skinny actually made me think he might have a feeding fetish
Every single episode of this show starts like that.
IT'S her Choice, who are you to then try and make her out to be MORE OF A VICTIM,, she is a grown ass women who made grown ass choices, if you dont agree with something, dont do it in ur life...... BUT dont try and victimize someone who made GROWN ASS CHOICES for herself
The cameramen for this show are either really dedicated to their job or really perverted 💀
Definitely not perverted they wouldn't get turned on filming an obese woman getting into a shower??

“I never feel bad, it’s just food” you are actually killing her! Her weight loss starts with eating healthy
"It's just food."
BOY YOU KNOW GOOD AND WELL...!!!
TLC: close up on tires
Whew! The shade
Suga Princess when you looks at the van when it’s drive off. The right side is lower than the left side. 😂 5:52
I really don't understand when people say that "I have gotten this big". Truthfully, it should be said, "I have made myself so big". That's a start to really healing.
The nephew is as big as she is they both need weight loss. Wow! not good shopping choices
but her husband is so skinny
my god and she said eating help her forget her problems but dat the reason u in this problem u eat to mush and in a minute yr nephew will be in the same pos as u are
Gorl I wonder where they get the money to buy food and stuff. This girl here be broke after my check
He doesn't eat like the others I guess. He does work so hes active as well.
I never understood the horrible fact that when they cant take care of themselves, others are bringing them all that food. I wish i could live with them for a month. I have no tollerance for people that have temper tantrums. They are literally killing her and themselves. So sad.
Amy Stone I know right, that’s why I told my parents I am not being disrespectful but y’all need to get up and get your own food. Giving them unhealthy food it’s like giving them poison but it’s just killing them slowly😔
@@lakeatman504 good for you!! The enablers in these shows just eat the exact same shit. I think they use her as an excuse to eat such junk tbh.
You know. Whatever it takes, because... I LOVE THAT WOMAN WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE IN ME.
Yeah,
that just
Totally
Got me.
❤️
Honestly, I’m not brave enough to disrobe ALONE, no less with a camera man in my face. These people are so courageous, imho. God bless them!
I love her voice. She's so brave to show everything. God bless her husband.
Why is she brave. The show pays for her
@@dcg590 Money or not, if you looked like that, would you feel comfortable stripping down for the world to see?? Everyone that has known you and will know you gawking at rolls, crevices, lumps and bumps, watching you struggling to shower. She is brave, because if I looked like that I don't think anyone could pay me enough to get naked on camera.
Her husband staying by her side and showing her love made me tear up. Not a lot of people have that in this show. Warmed my heart.
Her husband is an angel he really loves her that’s true love may god bless them all
Does TLC have to tape her using the bathroom...like...really? Privacy?
I’m sure they asked her and she said it was okay. It’s not like you can see anything anyways
I think those scenes give the participants extra pay.
