• Dr Now Confronts Enabl...
I'm 5 foot 10. As of today, I weighed and it said 182. I started out at 575! I didn't get a surgery, I did this my own way! Took alot of fat burners, stayed on a strict diet. I also forced myself to excercize ever day, no matter what. I've been under 200 for a couple years now. Never give up!
Congratulations!🎉
Congrats darlin!! That's a really amazing accomplishment and I know it's not easy. You got this!
@@argarman09 Thank you very much for the kind words and your faith in me. Joanne
@Joanne ( Anna ) Bristow just giving credit where credit is due love. I have every confidence in you!
@@argarman09 Thank you!
I was kinda laughing. You were like "oh you see his feet? See his legs? See the swelling" all while your face cam is directly blocking all of that xD like, no sean, i dont see it haha
Lmao I noticed that later
Yeah that's not funny. Clearly u have a Tiny brain that finds Anything funny.
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm a truck driver. I gained 40 lbs my first year out. I've since gotten rid of it and I never ever eat road food. Ever.
But, sometimes I see the saddest things. Guys who barely get out of their truck, guys with black legs from untreated diabetes, guys with explosive looking red faces. I see it all. We don't work in an environment that includes much health care. We all have insurance and no time to get to an appointment. As long as the wheels are turning, everyone is making money.
It often has a lot to do with whether or not you have someone at home who cares about you. I can definitely see the difference in those of us that have that and those that don't.
These are my people, I'm proud to live and work next to them and wish they'd take better care of themselves.
Yeah it’s hard for a trucker to eat healthy on the road. My moms bf passed last year from Covid he was diabetic and drove a truck. He didn’t take care of it and got Covid passed in the night in back of his truck.
@@Seanofsteel SO very sad. We've lost quite a few to untreated illness. The bottom line is it's a choice. We can fit a truck in every grocery store and Walmart and make better choices.
@@elizlikethequeen yeah he was the junk food king and me and him had no love lost. He always would say some things to me I wouldn’t even repeat. But I still was shocked when I got a call saying he passed. It really is sad
Yeah and one thing I noticed is how HUGE the portions are at truck stops! I used to be obese, and although I'm not a trucker, I loved eating at truck stops because I got so much food in one single meal. That felt like a bargain, but it was making it so much easier for me to keep getting fatter.
@@zxyatiywariii8 You are absolutely right. The portions are killer. In more ways than one. Congrats on getting yourself under control!!! 😊💜
As a mom this episode hurts me. I’ve dealt with weight issues my whole life, being on both ends of the spectrum. I’m 5’11 and got down to 115 and flipped it and got all the way up to 350 in about 2 years. I’ve struggled my whole life trying to find a balance and I push hard to ensure my 2 boys have a healthy relationship with food.
They’re both young but they’re both at a perfect weight and active in sports. I hope they continue with good choices when they can make the decisions. It hurts my heart seeing parents enable their children to such a degree they end up like this. Thank you for your insight!
I think your doing it right just show them healthy opinions without the choice for junk. Any kid will chose the chocolate over the carrots. 😂
Doing what you can momma, my weight fluctuates between 7.5 st and 18
I know what you mean. I've been in both ends of the spectrum myself, and I know that struggle. So it was important for me to teach my children better eating habits and just better decision-making all around. But I've seen a lot of my friends put chocolate milk or sweet tea in their bottles or sippy cups, and somehow, I'm the jerk for giving my kids water in theirs. I don't understand how a parent could use food to keep their kids quiet or as a reward. I really don't understand how they could continue to feed them awful things when they get to a point that their lives are in danger. Like I understand loving your kids and just wanting them to be happy, but it have to love them enough to say no sometimes. I'm glad you were able to teach your kids better than we were thought.
@katiecroc5358 I love the British way of using stones for weight! To my American ears, even when I was obese, my weight in stones sounded small, lol
For 5'11 , 115 pounds is Very thin, almost anorexic, a healthy weight would be more like 130 for you!
Damn! Almost 800 lbs?? And still walking? Gotta say that's impressive yet not commendable. And Sean! Your work ethic is amazing! I know you said you have an addictive personality and right now making these videos is your addiction, but you are a rockstar my friend!👍😎
Thanks I really appreciate that I’m having a lot of fun making these for sure. Right now my addiction is making videos and lifting weights. So it’s not a bad thing having. An addictive personality, unless you take it out with unhealthy outlets.
@@Seanofsteel True words, I have OCD really bad, for the most part it doesn't matter, however it does get on people's nerves sometimes 😂
Yeah, ur doing 👍😊 good Sean!!
I think it is still commendable. He has a head start by being mobile. If 800 lbs fell on me, it'd be like falling under a vending machine. 😬🎭
@@Harley_Qwynn Right on Harley!!🤣
Another thing parents need to stop doing is telling kids.. “ur not leaving this table until that plate is clean.” Let kids go with their natural appetite. (Happened to me.)
i’ve never understood that concept of people requiring their kids to clean their plate. Yes, I know some kids are picky eaters and they will opt out of food plenty of times but here’s the thing kids will eat if they’re hungry enough point-blank and it’s also you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit you eat what is served within reason I mean I’m not going to intentionally make a big meal that I know my entire family doesn’t like I’m obviously going to try to cook things that they do like or that they will probably like if they’ve never tried them before but if they’re not hungry they don’t need to eat just because I cooked a meal. They know that the meal will still be there. I’ll leave the food out for a while and then I put the leftovers away and if they want that they can have it, and if they really want some thing else, they can make some thing else for themselves. I’m talking about my kids that are old enough to prepare a small meal for themselves. If they decide they want mac & cheese then that’s fine. My kids are very active. Sometimes they need the extra calories sometimes they don’t, but that’s up to them to decide, it’s not like oh now I cook supper now you have to eat or I just made brownies you need to eat them now they can decide when and if they are hungry and if they’re hungry, they will eat
Yeh that was my childhood. I had to sit there until the plate was clean even if it took hours 😫. Sometimes they'd put it away in the fridge and serve it up again for breakfast ..
My kids have always had the choice to eat what they feel like and not force themselves.
Def
I will never never never understand how these people continue to enable their kids like this?? Their other issues aside, my parents always made a point to cook healthy meals and limit garbage foods and snacks and I still ended up heavy enough to get a gastric sleeve surgery this past summer. I can only imagine the state I would have been in if they had enabled me like this.
Also wanted to say I stumbled on to your videos recently and you've been keeping me on track and thoroughly entertained all week! Your story is inspiring and I'm rooting for ya :)
Thank you I’m still trying to drop this weight but glad if I help anyone on their own journey.
Interesting. I grew up with parents who were really relaxed with junk food. I ate so much junk as a kid. It was convenient for everybody. They didn’t need to cook it for me, shelf stable, & usually cheap.
I’m trying to steer my child away from behaviors that lead to obesity.
What could your parents do to help you from becoming morbidly obese to the point of needing surgery?
it’s like would they buy drugs for their addict child? bec this is the same thing
After coming back and rewatching this video from 5 months ago and your video today, you can definitely see your weight loss in your face. Keep up the good work Sean!!!
I'm watching a year after and he's at 263!! Channel is 113,000. Way to go!
I'm an old queer lady living in Hawaii and loving your videos. Thanks for cheering me up, you have gotten better and better at doing these. Wishing you all the best in your life❤
Hello old queer lady living in Hawaii 😊honestly you are living my dream life (except I'm planning on retiring to Las Vegas). But Hawaii must be so beautiful, I've seen many photographs and it seems like a place that really feeds the soul. So awesome. I hope you're enjoying yourself there!
@victoriadiesattheend.8478 yes i am and you are so sweet!
You’re very nice ❤
@alexis6alexis Cool, hi! 🙋🏾♀️ I'm predominately Polynesian (Tahitian) but I've never yet had the chance to visit Hawaii but finally this year my two best friends are taking me! 🥰
I'm kinda shy, I don't love huge crowds so we won't be hanging out in all the "must see" most traveled sites, but do you know any good less-traveled spots?
We're probably staying on Oahu (she's still getting reservations because we're not going till this winter). I'd rather spend time with my friends on a less "spectacular" beach or hiking area, than with huge crowds just to see the "best view" places.
Here in the Minnesota/Iowa Midwest area, we've gone spelunking in lots of wild caves which were more fun (for us) than when we visited Carlsbad Caverns. Sometimes the road less traveled can be the prettiest road 🥰 especially for shy people.
Hope you are safe old queer lady! 😢
I remember begging my mom to help me stop self sabotaging when I was a child. It's something I struggle not to resent her for but sometimes I feel frustration at her because of it
You should resent YOURSELF for self sabotaging
@Nadien I was 12. Self sabotaging in that I knew fuckall about what to eat and she'd refuse to give me guidance and instead would tell me shit like "you only binge eat cake because your body needs it" and " its just baby fat you'll grow out of it"
You know fuckall about the situation. I feel 0 self resentment for what adults guided me to do. I was a child, as clearly stated in the post. Learn to read dude.
@@nadien3320 Did you just seriously type that out? What good would that do? Seriously? Resenting just leads to a vicious cycle of self hatred and that is hard to get out of. Also, you have no idea what is/was going on in their life. There's a thing called compassion, which you clearly lack. Get help.
@@yawn6986 if you're a grown up you make your own decisions. They said they resent their own mother for not stopping their own self sabotaging. Don't resent others for making bad choices, resent yourself.
@@nadien3320 I guess you also lack reading comprehension in addition to compassion, as they clearly said they begged for help AS A CHILD.
Sean, Thank you for being so candid. I know it's a slippery slope to be the one telling the truth out loud. Your honesty is so vital for so many people. I'm in awe of your bravery. It's always such a risk that you can alienate some person ( mother, wife, husband, girl/boy friend etc.)by being honest..and maybe they just can't face themselves and the part they played...I digress. I'm just very proud of you. I feel honored to be even a small part of your journey. Jax..70 in Hawaii 🌴🌺
Hi Sean, love your videos. So good to hear your insights.
I once had a morbidly obese friend and his mum was seriously enabling him by over-feeding. She had lost a baby before she had my friend and took all that grief out on him by over-feeding him. I tried my best to help empower him but he was scared to be honest with his mum, who was super controlling. When he was at work he only snacked occassionally on fruit but at home he would be fed enough for 4 people each meal and he was too weak willed and scared to say no. The more I encouraged him to become his own man the more his mother hated me and she did her best to remove all friends from him, she wanted to be his entire life. She got her way eventually and he never lost the weight. He's still mummy's boy and she still won't let him be his own person. This video reminded me of that. Sometimes things are so complicated and trauma can cause so many issues to other people.
Agreed my mom still try’s to give me crazy amounts of food. I just turn it down when she does now. I think she feels the I’m showing love, by cooking thing a lot of moms do. But I also take accountability and know it’s my choice at the end of the day 😊.
I think it's very wierd that a mother would make her kid so unhealthy. That's not very motherly, it's also up to her kid too. My husband has a mom like that, the only skinny person in the family. She had WLS, and now borderline anorexic, and overfeeds everyone else. Dumps butter on everything, and don't tell her you're on a diet, she will have 3 desserts that night to tempt you. Weird as hell, I couldn't do that to people I loved. I moved in with my husband at his parents house a few years back (I was from across the country from him when we got together and he was in school for nursing staying with them until he started work). I gained 50lbs in the first 2 months being there. That was my fault, I had a total lifestyle change moving in with him, became a housewife and struggled to get that weight off since. I started walking this year though, and we are going no contact with his parents as they are also controlling.
@@jessh9988 Woah that's a messed up mother in law 😰 Must have been a nightmare to live with her.
I also don't understand why you would hurt someone you love by over feeding them. It's a selfish act as the feeder feels good but you're hurting and maybe killing the person who feels like they have to eat everything or they will hurt the feeder's feelings.
Sometimes people are very confusing
Allowing your kids to become morbidly obese should 100% be counted as child abuse.
@@jessbellis9510 💯
I'm so addicted to these, thanks so much! Your commentary is excellent.
Thanks I like making them for you guys
If he ate crap on the road (trucker), it was just laziness...my hubby has been a trucker for 50 years, and he's actually underweight. With the new cooking devices for trucks, you can literally cook a steak dinner if you want to. It actually bugs me when overweight people blame the lifestyle for their predicament because it really is their life choices
True but in all honesty how many truckers pack on weight eating fast food? I have a family full of truckers and they all eat like crap. Your hubby is in the minority of truckers that eat healthy.
@@Seanofsteel or he’s on meth
@@oliviahex4994 I wasn’t saying all that he’d be getting hit with random test by the D.O.T 😂
True how many people that have a certain time frame to get somewhere all the time want to stop at the grocery store pull out prepare and cook a meal and clean it up in a small space when they can stop at a fast food restaurant eat real quick and be on their way to the next stop. Not a healthy way to live but ideal for the situation they are under . Also they are always sitting it's not like their getting out and exercising in the truck stop or stopping at the gym on the way to their stops so I can see it being hard .
@@Seanofsteel I was just kidding lol
I have to say, for a 750lb man he looks a lot better than some people I've seen on this show whom were lighter. He's obviously still incredibly unhealthy and at risk of all kinds of disease and complications, but I think this is an example of 'you carry it well' as some people like to say.
Mom looks to me like she wants to keep her baby boy dependent on her
He has difficulty breathing just walking a few steps
@@ericrivera8410 he's clearly an enormously framed man, which certainly helps. But if he's a trucker, that will ruin his back even faster
He also looks like one of the youngest people on the show.
The the immobile people were typically older than 35
It’s weird that as a grown, working man he’s still dependent on his mother.
"if I go to jail someone's taking my cheeks"🤣🤣🤣 Sean you wild as hell😂
Got to get stronger ain’t no one getting these buns 🤣
@@Seanofsteel 🤣 You said 'jail pocket' last vid I watched, I hadn't heard that before and was cracking up!!
@@annebruecks7381 lol you prison pocket or jail suitcase yeah I love those sayings 😆 so funny.
Sean dude! You’re talkin like way too much in this episode! Hush a bit
@@Seanofsteelyou are funny
SO happy I found your channel‼️You are SO encouraging and you keep it real calling out the enablers and their destructive behavior. I have never been an obese person but the psychology of the enablers is fascinating. Keep getting those subs… you deserve them ☺️
As someone who lip reads and speaks sign language (no expert, just a CODA) that is absolutely what she said when Dr. Nowzarden left the room!
Lmao I don’t think most people caught that 😮
Thank you for your service!!!!
I'm a CODA, too!!😅
@@winrosI’m very interested in learning sign language. We have a technician at my job he’s deaf and we communicate mainly on Teams. I take parts to him or help him with customers when he has questions about what he’s repairing for them. I think I’m afraid of doing something wrong with sign language and making a fool of myself 😢 do you think UA-cam would teach me?
My parents over feed our lab mix & my mom always says it makes him happy. No it doesn’t! His joints r killing him!
Yeah my moms dog just weighed in at 130 and my grandma keeps saying well he’s hungry he looks at me.
@@Seanofsteelgosh! I’m so sorry 😞 what sort of breed/mix is it? Thts a big factor. Ours is part border collie & lab. their dog is quickly catching up (he’s 93 lbs- should be 70 lbs). He’s on joint supplements & lives like a very elderly dog. He’s only 6. My old cat used to be 20 lbs & as a teen I helped her lose some weight (she was a large cat anyway). I truly believe this helped her live to be 21 ❤️🔥
@@WileyCylas he’s a mutt but if you look up Australian brindle hound you’ll see what he looks like. But we don’t know cause he’s a rescue definitely a beefy boy.
My mother did that to her dog. He was really overweight and she would act proud when the vet would say he needs to lose weight. Like it was because she cared for him well. When I occasionally visited and took him on walks she’d complain he got dirty from going on walks 🙄 eventually his nails grew long and with his massive weight the nails grew up into his paws and got infected and he died at 6years old.
@ludwig8474. That's so sad. What your mom did was animal abuse, regardless of her intentions. 😢
Had a cousin who was a trucker. He was over 600 lbs and still mobile til he died of heart failure. His wife and kids were as big. They all got gastric bypass and lost the weight
I think part of the problem is truck stops. Omg the food there is SO tasty and the portions are MASSIVE!
I won't eat at truck stops anymore, too tempting to overeat.
Seeing your old videos from just a few months ago to your current video. Your weight loss is so obvious! I'm so happy for you keep up the amazing work and congratulations 😊❤
After I gave birth my legs swelled, never experienced that before. Once I got home and settled, I literally was having to pee non stop. Dropped 15lbs in a day. It was crazy. I was around 220 at the time so totally believe someone 3x as big could retain 50+ lbs in water weight.
This happens to me too, but the swelling starts way before giving birth. In the week after giving birth to my twins I lost 60lbs. I ended up being 10 lbs less than when I got pregnant. My doctor was telling me I was gaining too much. Turns out it was all babies, placentas, and water. I actually lost fat.
as an OB/GYN, I can tell you that’s very normal. Let me tell you a little story. For example, when I checked in to give birth to my first child, I weighed 171 pounds and very petite person. I don’t know where I carried it because I was dimensionally still quite small I mean I was still wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes even though my normal weight was only about 120 when we left the hospital all of my friends that have been visiting who our guys were saying oh my God you’ve lost all the weight already you look great and obviously I gave birth to a 7 1/2 pound baby plus everything else that comes out so when I was leaving the hospital I was shocked and surprised that the jeans that I brought I couldn’t even get over my thighs and I ended up having to wear the same pair of sweatpants home, and my husband said on the way out of the hospital oh here’s a scale inside this other room why don’t you step on it on our way home it’ll make you feel better. I stepped on the scale and I weighed 170 pounds so there you have it folks. oh here’s a scale inside this other room why don’t you step on it on our way home it’ll make you feel better. I stepped on the scale and I weighed 170 pounds so there you have it folks. I was incredibly swollen. Major edema when I got home my hands, my fingers My feet my legs, but literally within a matter of a couple days it all disappears. It’s all water retention from all of the IV fluids, hormone changes, etc..
@@valerieodonnell6764this happened to me also. I was TERRIFIED at how swollen and big my legs and feet were. I am a short person with tiny feet and an ED so being pregnant was hard on me. Afterwards my legs and feet and even torso shrank so much so quick I was frightened again, I was also dehydrated. I lost a lot of water, placenta and what was inside, I'm guessing.
This happened to me too, my feet looked almost round they were so swollen! Edema is crazy weird.
When I was anorexic, would always be offering food. I was trying to live through others, so I got some satisfaction out of seeing other people eat what I wanted to eat.
I stopped doing that as soon as I started recovery. One day I was doing it the next I wasn't. I didn't want to anymore, so it wasn't like I had to force myself to stop.
If mom's eating chicken n veggies, why is she stuffing him with junk? Surely she's picked up a few good healthy recipes and food combos. My secret to not living off junk food is to not have it in the house. So many great food options that aren't all sugars and bad fats.
“U know what they say about big shoes….. BIG SOCKS!”
Genius
Lol 😉
“Mommy Deathfood” 💀 took me out
Great video, Sean. I love hearing the insights that you bring and you also tell your own story along the way. I look forward to your videos everyday. 😊
Thanks I look forward to posting them 😊
Ok…in the opening scene there’s a photo of Dr Now’s office. Does anyone think it’s a converted car dealership building? Or is it just me?
You're not the only one. I thought the very same thing awhile back! _(9/3/2023)_
My children were told what they could eat. I also practised physical activity and junk food in moderation once a week.
I have a sister that is competative with her weight. I live a few states away and one visit she insisted i get on the scale. Turns out i was 7 lb lighter than her. She freaked and started trying to feed me during the short visit. I should have told her my job loss contributived to that haha! I think since she has always been the skinny one, really bothered her 🤪
Lol I want to be the skinny one so bad and I’m on my way.
@Sean of Steel 🤣 too bad i'm not the skinny one any longer! You are doing amazing and i admire your determination! I think it's safe to say we are all pulling for you ❤
@@amycecil9689 awww thank you it’s amazing to feel so much support.
This is not quite the same but I've struggled with my weight since I was 11. I was obese throughout my teens and as a result my brother, who's 4 years younger than me, always weighed less than me. Recently I lost a lot of weight and he lost some too, but now I weigh about 10kgs less than him for the first time ever. He finds it so strange. For 18 years I weighed more than him and then it suddenly changed.
He's happy for me though.
One of my sisters (I have 3) and I are a little bit heavier, and she does that. She will demand that I get on the scale whenever she's over to see how much I weigh, and then she'll either try to feed me or push me extra hard to lose weight while she continues to gain. She always wants to know how much I've lost month to month. It's so weird. I am trying to lose weight, though.
I feel like doctors are only licensed to practice in their state, so that also might be a big reason his patients have to move to Texas.
Good point
My man, I just found your channel yesterday and it made my day 😁 Keep up these vids please
Thanks happy to have you
I think the show should buy an apartment complex and rent it 2 show participants 2 make them finding a place easier.
here's to the homies who've been here since 1k subs or under🙏🙏
Love you guys ❤️
This dude's voice sounds like that distortion they use on crime shows when the witness wants to be incognito, lol
Congratulations on your channel! You are becoming one of my favorites!👏👏
Paul was a 2-3 generation Carnie worker. But what tanked Paul was his girlfriend, who wouldn’t move or support him. It’s sad.
I was an otr trucker. I actually lost 40lbs doing it, but I'm the oddity. I can't stand the texture of ground meat, so no burgers for me lol. I lived off chicken breast wraps at subway, salads, and hard boiled eggs from the truck stops.
That being said, we have to get DOT physicals in order to drive. I usually get a 2 year one, but they'll give you ones for shorter times if your blood pressure is too high, your neck is too thick (make you do a sleep thing and get a c-pap machine. Almost every other trucker I knew was on one).
Yeah I had seen the c pap thing before and sounds like you were pretty much doing keto. Your definitely the oddity cause it’s a convenience thing for most truckers.
12:35 I had a friend like that! She had a gastric bypass and lost weight and tried to force feed everyone around her
It’s kind of crazy they get some satisfaction out of watching people fail
@@Seanofsteel she was a disgusting human being I had to cut her off
It could be they may be enjoying cooking and feel that’s what their known for. So if they eating less there be more food as they haven’t got in their head to make less. Just a thought
I think anorexics often do the same thing, I know I did. I know for me it was trying to live through other people, when I started to recover I just stopped.
I am going to have to agree you hun.
ESPECIALLY with children.
It IS a parents responsability to keep their kids from getting that heavy.
They AREN'T buying their own food.
If you bring it in the house it's GOING to get ate!
Make sure you as a parent are pushing fruits and vegetables.
The trucker thing is real! My friends Dad (were also from the South, AL), was so tall and massive, a 14lb baby! Unfortunately, he passed years ago..had a heart attack driving his rig, but managed to pull over safely and not hurt anybody in the process.
A 14 pound baby damn his mom must have cursed him the whole way out. 😮
@@Seanofsteel Dude, his daughter had twins and they were both 7lbs a piece too! They hold a record at the hospital for largest set of twins lol!
lol
@@Meg-A-Saurus dear god poor women in that family 😂
Wow, he was a sweet guy, fighting the pain to pull over safely ❤️
There've been so many people who cause fatal accidents by not pulling over when they have a heart attack.
Also I love your channel. I love how brutally honest you are about your journey and calling out the toxic behaviors that keep them stuck in this vicious and sad cycle. Can't wait to see the tattoo sleeve!!!
His Disrespectful about Women and Women's bodies
You have been acting so much moe professionally. It's refreshing. Continue being a support to these people.
Don't feel bad about your face, Sean. I'm just over 123 pounds and my face is still fat 😅. Some of us store more fat in the northern cheeks, others in the southern cheeks 😎.
If you are young, you'll appreciate it later. If not, you are blessed. Plenty of folks pay for cheek filler!
I’d love to be cooking for a person like this. Believe me, I know how to say “no”. It’s evil to participate in a person eating themself to the brink of death. Would you buy cigarettes for a person with COPD? Would you buy vodka for an alcoholic with a failing liver? Do you take cake to a diabetic? So, what’s the difference?
Honestly we all need to be told no a little more
Agree. And tell ourselves “no” more too. But you know, it’s hard to go up against a highly addicted person. You have to be tough as nails.
.I didn't get over 300 but I started to care about my weight when my face went COMPLETELY round. That was it! Thanks for another great video!
P.s. ohhhh, yeah!! one thing that sucks about being super short is if you gain 5 - 10lbs, it looks more like 20 - 30lbs!!! EVERYONE NOTICES & feels entitled to say something!!😰😭😅
I’m sure it can’t be that noticeable
@@Seanofsteel lol - you would be surprised!! - check out the B.M.I. chart for someone around 5ft... It's crazy!!... 15 - 20lbs extra, can put you in the " obese" category!! ( A few yrs ago, I gained like 20lbs over my " average B.M.I" & people kept asking me if I was pregnant!! )😰😭🤣 A " healthy" weight for my height is nothing over like 115 lbs!!😧🤯 That's why I'm always incredibly shocked & concerned to hear about some of these female patients, who are around 5"3 & under, yet weigh in the 500-600lbs range. I can't imagine how uncomfortable and dangerous that is for a person's mobility & overall health.
P.s. Damn, plus I hated random people asking me if I was having a baby!! 😭🤣 Lmao... ::: I was like, " Noooo...but clearly, I've been having too many cupcakes..." ::: 😒
@@HNA6663 lol you never ask a woman if she’s pregnant your asking to be slapped. Cause there is no good outcome if the answer is no.
@@Seanofsteel Your mama raised you right!! Hahaha!!! 💀
You're damn right it shows, even 5 pounds more at 5 feet tall makes a big difference!! People think I don't eat enough but the truth is I was told a long time ago that 1,200 calories a day was normal, and since my body is a little smaller than most it's not hard to feel full faster & know when I'm full & done eating. And no, I can't eat as much junk food either. You get used to it.
I sincerely believe my sister has done this enabler type actions to her daughter. It's so unfortunate. 70 in Hawaii 🌴🌺
Good for you and the work you’ve done for yourself. The most important thing is to make the message clear that there are possibilities when you are determined, take the right steps, and identify the problems that have hindered you before. All of us that have seen success in anything we want to achieve can benefit from personal stories, whatever our journey is.
Thank you I still have a ways to go, but I’m happy people are so supportive.
You should be proud. Never doubt yourself and what you’ve accomplished and know that you are helping others that otherwise may give up hope.
WAY TO GO SEAN! Your unique perspective and experience makes each of your videos so informative. Funny, but On Point! 👏👍👊♥️ Keep pushing!
Thank you 😊
New subscriber. Love your vlogs, your approach and sense of humour. 😊
Me too…he’s hilarious but also you get a brutally honest view of how they are thinking
750+. Damn! That’s 4 fairly big people! The human body is kind of amazing. How can it keep going with THAT much strain?
Lmao, She definitely said, "wtf...something"!!! Didn't quite catch the end but did the beginning. 😂😂
I’m so proud of you!! It’s great too see someone go thru this and know the experience on your journey at the same time, doing these videos will help you as well to not go through that path again and too continue with your journey!! Nothing but love this way for you and keep going and making people aware, people make these videos not knowing what it’s like but you were that person and are still going through the journey!! Kudos too you my friend ❤
Thank you yeah I think I give a more understanding spin while also just my own personality. I really don’t like the people who just judge and haven’t lived it.
For me, traveling (especially flying) always makes me swell/retain water on top of the auto-inflammatory conditions I have. It always hurts. I couldn't imagine trying to travel at 500+ lbs 😲
It’s definitely no picnic that’s for sure. 😅
"Taking your CHEEKS" In JAIL??! BOY YOU KNOW YOU CRAZY!!🤣🤣🤣
Gotta get stronger to defend myself
That one guy on my 600 lb life ( he had red hair and the scene where his dad brought McDonald’s and the guy ate it all and threw some cold fries to his dad) he did some vids with oompaville and he said it was total fake. The directors influenced him to act like all the food was for him and his dad had to go hungry. He seems totally honest, you should react to that 😊 I think his name is Casey
Yeah it was Casey. But I don't think it was on My 600lb life though.
I think I had seen something about that guy he did really well losing weight.
I think that was on Family by the Ton.
I really did enjoy your trip to the doctor!
I look forward to seeing your videos ❤
Thanks 😊
I just found your channel and have been binging on your content pretty nonstop. Thanks for the entertainment!
Hey Sean! I would love if you can post this video in it's entirety if you can. I'd also love more new full episodes as I've watched them all. Thanx, lovey!
I think Dr. Now and clinic initially took patients outside Houston and tried to make it work, but had too many long-distance patients who would have trouble or made excuses on getting weighed in their area, who wouldn’t answer phone calls or chats after the first appointment, and they made little progress. Plus the concern of health complications to patients from the repeated travel.
Moving to Houston for a year or so is a lot to ask….but it’s the best thing and there isn’t a good workaround for most.
I was 300 lbs at my heaviest (omg I had no visible neck, squealed when I slept, "Buddha ears", and cheeks that when I smiled, even a little, it would completely close my eyes) and now down to 199 and my face STILL looks chubby. I feel you on the face aspect 😂
OMG my late brother had size 13 feet and had to order shoes online. I remember his struggles as well!
5:39 OOOH! ME TOO! Can’t wait to get my sleeve when I hit my goal weight!
I am surprised that he is still able to walked.some people that weigh less then him can't or won't even attempt
I was honestly shocked also physically he was probably about where I started
My husband wears a size 16, we always have to order his shoes. His combat boots were always expensive as hell. It's annoying af-I know your pain lol. I think the show covers the move and stuff like that. I looked into it once but it's been a while.
Go Zappos!
Let my YT just play in the background while I painted, for a full hour I thought I was listening to Gary Unfiltered til I looked at my screen cuz I thought his new topic of convo was odd as he was never obese.... Your not @GaryUnflitered lol but I'm loving your content! Funny but with the right amount of sympathy
His friend likes him like that, he's safe to her.. if he gets healthy and nice looking, she might feel like she could lose him...
I would not go as far to call the mother and sister skinny😂 We need to have higher standards . The fat activists have really skewed the perception of many.
Also so frustrating to hear the hypocrisy of people saying "they were never told no as a kid" Then jumping of people for parent blaming.
It's so hard to raise my kid in this hypocritical culture. She told me in school that "fat" is a bad word but dumb and stupid are ok.
My parents were against us eating junk food and would shame me if I ate more goodies than what they liked. I ended up sneaking and ended up being overweight. Years later I kept gaining then at 308 I had gastric bypass surgery, in 2008. I never shamed my kids or did the portion control thing and they were normal weight. They ate what they wanted and how much.❤
I don’t know if I’d call them skinny one of them seems to have a noticeable gut
Lol I don’t call anyone fat I was 605 pounds. You gotta be at least in the 300s before I even say you might need to slow down 😂.
@@Seanofsteel that makes sense
Especially since obesity is on the rise
To some people food is love.
Duke Univ has a weight loss program for morbid obesity they teach eating habits such as no binge eating and nutrition and counseling. I know 2 good addicts who went there.
Food addicts
You can TOTALLY see your face weight loss here compared to now. Man-inspiring!!
Yurr gang new subscriber here what's goody?
What’s poppin yeah it’s been going off lately. Kinda crazy I guess I’m just relatable and not trying to hide anything. Happy to have you tho 😊
@@Seanofsteel Thanks fam and you get whatever you been wanting God is going to bless you.
my dad was a trucker for a long time. he would boil a bunch of eggs before leaving for the week and he'd buy those tuna pouches and stuff. fast food just wasn't really in our lives that much.
She's probably crying because she's acknowledging her part and feels sorry for being a enabler that has hurt someone she loves. Those are good tears. I hope they all heal from this. Jax..70 in Hawaii 🌴🌺
He is in constant helpless baby mindset.. sitting there with his mouth permanently gapping...
My 3 younger brothers were raised by our maternal grandparents, my brothers and I were fat. It wasn't what we ate, it was how much we were given. We didn't have much candy, if we went to the grocery store with grandma and we were good or if we stayed home with our aunt, we got a candy bar. Grandma would make popsicles out of Kool-Ade, we always had fresh fruit and vegetables. My brother and I were in school, the other 2 brothers were too young, lunch for us was 2 sandwiches with lettuce and tomatoes, chips, a baggy with some kind of fruit and cookies or cupcakes and a can of soda, we were only 5 and 6 years old. when we got home grandma had a snack for us, this is how she showed us she loved us, she was taking care of us, they were so good to us, when I was around 10, I started slimming down, grandma said I was losing my baby fat, we hadn't seen our mom in 8 years, and she didn't recognize me, at least that's what she told my aunt, how in the world can you not recognize your own kid, especially when she's your only daughter.
It's great that you're doing a lot of weight lifting and walking, have you considered doing harder cardio like running, bike riding, swimming, etc.? Running is probably the biggest calorie burner but swimming is also great because it's like a full body workout and intense cardio as well. I feel like if you work hard enough in the gym then you don't have to be as careful with your diet.
Honestly running is kinda hard for me my knee is blown. I also have a deteriorating back from all the weight I had on it. So it would have to be low impact exercise. But I am going to get a membership somewhere I can swim cause I love it. Plus I haven’t been swimming in like 7 years.
The saying goes, “You can’t outrun a bad diet.” So true. What you eat is EVERYTHING.
@@Mrs.TJTaylor I've actually been outrunning a bad diet. Lost almost 40 pounds in the last year and I pretty much eat whatever I want but I exercise very intensely. I've even run over 4 miles which at my weight can burn nearly 800 calories. I workout about 5 days a week mixing up weights, swimming, and running.
Running is not the biggest calorie burner and can be a lot more hurtfull than any other sports! Going to the gym, getting advices from real professionnals, like a personnal trainer and an expert in nutrition is better! Motivation is the key! Doing sports you enjoy will keep you active all your life! Swimming is the best way to do some cardio workout, without putting strain on your knees and back! I guess if you havent done it in 7 years, must be cause you were not feeling confortable to put on a bathing suit in public( like 99% of the world 😉)...? Forget about what others may think or say and just do it! ✌️
@@sarita10001 I got so heavy and I just stayed locked in the house. I totally isolated myself from the world. I knew no one I would want to see me in that state. So I couldn’t just go to family’s house and have them see me. I didn’t see my dads side of the family close to 10 years probably. It wasn’t about the bathing suit I’d throw an a speedo and go. 😂 I didn’t want them to see me period even clothed.
Great video! Hey, speaking of self destructive habits, have you seen that new movie "The Whale"?
Hey, my father was from the Philippines and when I was growing up, when I didn't want to finish my food , my dad would tell me that there was children in China that was starving cause they didn't have enough or no food to eat...I always got my b_tt busted cause I always told him to pack it up and send it to them.
When I grew up my parents had very littlr and had always been hungry growing up. They thought they were giving something that was good. Love them for trying
I relate to the feeling of unfairness! (When you said he has a thinner face than you did) because my body completely gave out of me when I was 212 pounds. Everything I ate made me sick, I'd spend HOURS in the bathroom every day. I could walk but I was in constant pain and I fell a lot. I couldn't sleep unless I had a nest of pillows to take the pressure off my most sore joints. It's annoying that my "rock bottom" was 212 pounds when there are people who are still able to eat whatever they want and can even still walk at over 600 or 700 pounds. I'm grateful that my body didn't allow that to happen to me (I was a food addict for sure and thought I'd never change) but it's still one of those things that makes me think damn that's not fair.
God I was over 212 in 7th grade and as healthy as any kid. I hope your feeling better now 😊
Sean don't do weights over cardio bc you'll gain muscle and you won't drop weight as quickly. Do a lot more cardio and weights when you're closer to your goal!
Keep em coming
A lot of us were taught to eat everything put on our plate as children. Now I have to re-teach my dad that he can put it in the refrigerator if his eyes became bigger than his stomach.
My mom would comment about starving children in China when I didn’t eat everything on my plate. That didn’t make me want stuff myself, I just felt bad for those hungry kids and wished I could send my leftovers to them.
Sean - are you having issues with copyrights when you do these videos? I did one about Penny and I got blocked in 3 countries. I'm super new at this and don't want to piss off the YT gods.
I mean I’m super new at it also but I get blocked in some country’s. You have to dispute it and when they deny appeal. The problem is if you appeal and they deny it you get a strike. So 3 strikes and your out of there it’s kinda dangerous.
@@Seanofsteel Yikes on bikes! It really pisses me off that we can't fully discuss these episodes because I think a lot can be learned from them and this will help people in similar situations. I really wanted to put my feelings out there because her story nearly stopped me from getting VSG 8 years ago because she managed to gain 5 lbs with it. I wanted to tell people not to take her story as the norm because she's just cray. FYI Sean - your channel has inspired me to tell my story :)
Love ya man!! I fully support you in your work. 🤗👌🙃🇮🇱🙏
❤️
Bruh, this man is Darth Vader IRL. If Darth Vader crossed over to the light side 😂
Wow!!!! I'm so AMAZED by you! 😊 Absolutely love your videos❤ and you will get famous, no doubt.
I said it first lol 😅😊
That mom is out their, I think she needs some therapy probably more then the son. U got me cracking up the things u say 😂
You’re my new favourite channel.
You are hilarious "them cheeks" 🤣🤣
Caked up 😂
I love it bc I can still wear KIDS sizes ( in my 30s ..) & now kids have some fly shoe designs like adults!!! Lol - they're just $30-$50 cheaper!!! I've never really cared about " being too small" ... Haha.. I'm under 5ft .. 😮 Buying " adult pants" ( like, " dress slacks".. lol ) is damn near impossible!!! 🤣😭 ... I have to find " cropped style" pants for regular height ppl!! Lol...🤦
Damn so your getting a break it’s so hard for me to find shoes in store. Also that’s funny you need cropped pants to fit just right 😂.
@@Seanofsteel Love your videos, man!! Congrats on your hard work - Best wishes for both you & your girl ( you mentioned she's been by your side through this journey - that's amazing ). I am SO not joking either ( about wearing, " cropped pants" as normal length!!! ) Hahaha... 🤣 I'm not gonna lie though, the shoe thing is pretty sweet!
@@HNA6663 lol thanks I’m getting my oil changed now I just brought her lunch at work 😊.
@@Seanofsteel Awww!! That's great to hear... You 2 sound like a real solid couple!!💞✌️
@@HNA6663 Thanks we’ve been on and off since I was 17 so she keeps telling me I’m stuck with her 😂. Also informed me if I leave she’ll find me 😳 I think she’s kidding at least I hope 🤣
Her niece should have at least gotten a thank you for helping me save my life ..if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here ...like every day she should have been showering her with comments and thank you's, she moved from Seattle WA to Texas to help her aunt ..I feel like the Aunt was In the zone of losing weight and she did end up losing alot, but still, her niece is the one who made it happen for her
Hey mate, good to see your subs are growing fast. 1 question: is the water weight are real thing for some people?
For sure it depends on the person though I could gain 30-40 pounds of fluid and be up around 650 at times but 605 was my normal.
She is definitely feeding him bc she is sad she cannot eat that way anymore
Can you please recap hoarders you'd be so funny on it😂
@Sean of Steel, I think you did a pretty good job of reading the friend’s lips…also you asked why the mother was crying. You prob have the answer by now, but I will add what others are prob saying: she seemed to feel really bad once they found out how much her son weighed, and the part she played in that, once they found out. Lastly, right…you know what they say about big feet? Big feet mean big socks. That’s truly unique. Never lose that quick wit.

I am terminal from a rare disease but I don't want to gain weight from my treatments. I want to do for myself. So I stand by my bed and march. Any movement you can do even in your bed will get you closer to living a life of quality. Good luck. Life is beautiful. Get on depression rx, get therapy and get moving.
