The fact that at 5-7 she thought she had to eat in order to get bigger and stronger to be able to fight off the man that was molesting her is absolutely heartbreaking.
I think the primary reason for her eating back then was probably to make herself feel better momentarily, like every other person who eats too much. it probably did help her to fight back (carrying fat around builds muscle) and it's quite likely that it made her less attractive to him. I think her weight probably did spare her a lot of abuse, but she's mostly giving that as the reason for her eating habit because "I gained weight to fight off the rapist" feels like a better reason than "I developed a food addiction because eating made me feel better". though I do think it's plausible that she was aware very early on that she could gain weight by eating a lot, and that it would help her fight harder.
@@Ass_of_Amalek I think that this woman knows her own though process and behaviors better than some random internet person. I doubt that she cares about optics and "what sounds better".
@@JordanP. You’re wrong, there is no way that a 5-7 year old girl believes that she can fight off a grown man. Im not a psychologist and even I know that she was eating as a coping mechanism. Think about it; her mother nor her father was there to protect her at 5 years old, that must be devastating and extremely confusing. Food clearly became something as a coping tool….Lastly if you watch enough of these videos of severely obese people you’ll find that many of them are ashamed and most of them have some form of denial and they try to minimize their behaviors when they get a chance.
If your child is obese to an extent they can't do things a average child there age can, they should be taken away because that is not fair, my cousin has pre diabetes because of his mom and he's 10, she forced her obese unhealthy life style on him now he's gonna die at 30
What bothers me is how little the justice systems works to keeps those people away for good... they abuse their own nieces and nephews and get like three years...
@@lisaperry5999 haha, they need to be in those cartel beheading videos. People like that deserve the worst fate IMAGINABLE. You don’t get to die peacefully after you’ve stolen a persons dignity....
She lost A LOT of weight, and is doing so well now. Supporting herself and her children on her own. She was always a pretty looking person, but now she is stunning.
She hasn't had a childhood 😢. It's abuse, and cps should take both children away. If she had to move around and get her own food she would eat less. That child should be playing, doing homework out with her friends as well. Not isolated caring for a parent who's problems should not be visited on her. Im so annoyed. People talk about these 600lb people as if they have a disease, it's not cancer or ms etc, it's shovelling food in. Before you say fat shaming I went from UK size 18 to UK size 10-12. Did it mostly for me health, I've had strokes, cancer, heart attacks and have copd, so have given up smoking after 20 odd years. Will power works
@@neeko1263 That’s a fair comment but don’t you think that the parent/parents should have noticed that their child was unhealthy or unhappy? I don’t mean it in a critical of your comment way, I just was thinking in a different way that was all.
Damn, 250 pounds at 7 yrs old. Child protective services be worried about every other good parents but they don't worry about the parents that don't give af about their kids
Seeing young kids being parents to their siblings on this show because the actual parent is immobile always breaks my heart. It’s so much responsibility at such a young age, and their childhoods are robbed.
Poverty can also rob childhood too. My mom a single mom with five children. My dad pass away from a car accident when I was 2. She no other men came into her life. My 2 oldest siblings started working part-time at 16 to help, while mom work 2 jobs while third brother became the housewife fourth was 6 years old third brother was 10.
But her childhood was robbed as well, so it's just a vicious cycle. Her parents let her down, so honestly I don't fully blame her. She got bigger because she thought it would protect her.
@@latonyanewsome0 So she choose to continue the insanity and have children with no active father in their lives, no home of their own, having to live with her parents and the two children she had in reality are going to be their mother's future caregivers. This mother only focuses on herself and has no concern of the missed childhood her daughters will never know. She's an adult child, having her parents care for her and arranged to have children to take over when the parents are too old.
God loves us all so much that he gave his perfect son to die for our sins and raised him from the grave to defeat death. Through faith in JESUS we can be saved and reconciled to GOD. please repent🙏♥️
@@kitm3945 that’s what I was thinking ! I’ve seen more than a couple people lose 100 - 150 before the surgery. One lady lost 205 lbs before the surgery and another guy who lost 250 and then got surgery
This absolutely breaks my heart. She didn’t gain weight out of selfishness or anything, she just wanted awful things to stop happening to her at such a young age.
@@yolandgibson1233 some people eat to cope with things hurting them or in her case to make her “stronger”. Food for some people is a form of comfort like a hug or words of affirmation. Psychology is unusual.
@@yolandgibson1233 obviously she never healed from the sexual abuse she suffered as a child. plus she created these unhealthy eating habits as a kid, which made it especially hard to break free from as an adult.
@Yoland Gibson it isn't uncommon for survivors of sexual abuse to unconsciously try to become less attractive to their abuser, or potential abusers, as a protective action. It's heart breaking and it can sabotage a person's weight loss when the person sees themselves at a healthy weight and is reminded of the abuse. It's not a physical handicap but an emotional and mental one
The reaction of a child gaining a dangerous amount of weight in a short period of time because they want to be bigger and stronger or less appealing to their abuser is not strange at all. But it is a tremendous indicator that something is going on and where adults should have investigated where this behavior was coming from.
Based on physcology it is actually known that the reason people gain weight mentally is a way to protect themselves from others. Weight gain covers up your sexual organs and thusly your sexual appeal for most research it. Most obese people were infact abused as children and food is basically a drug it gives the release of oxytocin or serotonin in the brain. When your an adult and this occurs from a traumatic event narcotics and substances do the same.
That's true, i remember i gain from 42kgs to 58-60kg in 2months and I was atheltic at 12 so that was alot for me and all due to s**xual abuse for 2 yrs. I don't think I was trying to gain weight but for sure my hormones were wack due to stress and I wanted self relief.
She's naturally pretty and has the right mindset, I hope she gets to where she wants to be at so she can be with her kids and prove she's the good mom she says she is.
I always feel bad for the children who appear on this show, having to grow up so fast for the people who should be taking care of you is always so heartbreaking to see
I can relate to her. I too was molested for years. My emotional escape was to eat. Thankfully my highest weight was “only” 338. Lost 138 with WW and self effort. At 63 I still struggle with being over weight. Good for her for taking control of herself 💝
@@tojiswifue7244 you absolutely can. Any mother who has lost a child can instantly relate to that feeling all over again when another mother goes through the same
@@tojiswifue7244 Do you struggle with your weight? I do not, but I have something called empathy. Walk a mile in their shoes. Not fair to judge. Love and encourage others as it will bring you joy and happiness.😊
God bless you. Thank you for sharing with us. I hope you are healing more every day. Jesus loves you and it breaks His heart when his children are abused like that. Luke 17:2
Hurt people, hurt people.. Her daughter is an amazing kid who deserves to have a childhood, as all children do. I pray that their lives change for the best 🤞🏼
@@PITTSBURGH06 Wow I can’t believe that she has kids to take care of but I understand about the way this you I’m glad I didn’t let myself get that big but I understand that depression can do a lot to a person and being sexually molested can also ruin your self-esteem and yes a eating habit and I was almost 300 pounds before I had my gastric bypass and so far things are doing well in three months poops I meant to say informants time I’ve lost 45 pounds and still working on it so keep it on your eating habits and also watch your weight as much as possible and don’t get discouraged
@@phillipinek1856 I do too. I think she will, she made a lot of progress to get approved for the surgery compared to other people i've seen on the show
I feel for her oldest daughter. She is dealing with trauma because her mom never healed from her trauma. Poor girl. She probably ain’t never gone want her own kids after having to rush through her childhood to be a mom at 11.
Yeah, I completely sympathize with this woman and her struggles, but I still think she was wrong in bringing children to the world that she could not take care of. You shouldn’t be having babies and expecting your 11 yo *child* to take care of it. That kid had to take care of herself, her mother, and a baby, before she even hit puberty. And given the physical state of her mother it’s unlikely she had much care given to her as a child either.
@@TumblinWeeds You act like it was her choice. She's not from a State that even before recent times was amenable to abortion. She was likely also told by her doctors that her weight made her infertile.
@@OGimouse1 unless she was raped, it was 100 percent her choice to bring a life into this world knowing her circumstances. That is selfish. She has no regard for her daughter. Pregnancy is 100 percent preventable. No excuse.
She went the extra mile and went to the gym even at her weight. It made me tear up. She also seemed to doubt herself in the beginning but pushed herself. One of the most inspirational episodes I've seen so far.
I think that they probably think they can't conceive anymore if they're that big so there's no use of taking any precautions even though that's not true.
Agreed. If she can lay and put in work to make that baby she should be able to take care of it not pass the obligation to that poor child who’s a baby herself.
You can tell she doesn't wanna let herself go ... even though she is 600 plus pounds she still does make up, dresses up etc As weird as it sounds, she looks good for her weight, I'm excited to see her after the weight loss. Shedding the weight will reveal the beautiful person underneath. God bless that young girl taking care of baby sister.
I agree, she is very pretty, and losing the weight will just enhance that beauty even more. She looks so good though at the end of the clip. That is hard to do, lose 100 pounds!
it seems like she’s mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted. i hope she gets the help she needs. she’s a beautiful young woman with beautiful little kids and has so much more life to live.
Why is no one talking about how almost all of the people on this show were molested at a very young age and used food to escape that. Obviously that’s going to seriously affect someone for their entire life. It’s not your place to judge someone who has been through something like that. Edit: You do not know this person. What makes you think it’s okay to just blurt out how you feel about her situation. Your opinion does absolutely nothing to help her. Edit: Some of these replies are not it…. You don’t just comment your opinion about the life of someone you don’t even know. And then claim you’re “concerned for their health”. If you were genuinely worried about this woman and her children’s health, you would be trying reach out to her privately. The way that some people will say such harsh things, but in a way that makes it seem sincere is sickening. If you haven’t been through the exact same situation as this woman then you should keep your mouth shut. I am not justifying anyone or anything but the fact that your opinions need to be kept to yourselves. You know that saying everyone is taught as a kid “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it.”. This is a perfect place to practice that for those of you who never grasped the concept of it. It is not her fault that being repeatedly drugged and raped at five years old affected her this way. Why would you ever think it’s okay to make someone feel guilty for their trauma? These comments make me so sad. (Edit) It kinda seems like a lot of the people who replied didn’t bother to read the whole comment. I’m not forcing you to change your opinion, I’m simply sharing mine.
Yes Samantha!, YES! Thank you! Everyone needs to understand this, so they can stop blaming them and start looking for the perpetrator! So happy you made this comment!
I thought the same thing and also thought besides the physical change, that the show should push mental and emotional health to help these people get better.
@Winnie I high five yr comment! Totally! Just because you were abuse doesn't make it right for you to do the same to the people around you, especially when you're an adult and or a mother! bringing human(s) in the world! That's just crazy and mind blowing! Very irresponsible and immature... abused or not... Someone need to heal and grow up.
She is absolutely beautiful. She needs deep therapy to sort through her issues and to prevent her daughter from falling into the unhealthy patterns. Good luck sweetie 🙏🏾♥️
How in the world do they even manage to get pregnant? How do they manage to have a full-term pregnancy without risking their own health, and without suffocating the fetus?
Because all the stuff doctors tell you about pregnancy and infertility are wrong. Nobody can get pregnant faster than a physically/mentally unhealthy person
How exactly would the fetus be suffocated? Fetuses don't breathe. She's literally just lucky. Getting and staying pregnant, then having a healthy baby, was pure luck for someone her size.
It’s so important to break those cycles of abuse and trauma. The importance of giving your kids attention, love, time, and effort. Most importantly don’t trust your kids around nobody. Her daughter doesn’t deserve to have all that responsibility she’s so beautiful with a life ahead of her. It’s understandable helping your parents but not to the point of being a second caregiver or helper especially if your mother has children that they are meant to tend for and care for not the siblings.
First of all I counsel people for free all the time because I care. This is the first time I'm seeing this If I knew her email address or could text her I would. We don't see everything. They are not going to say she was molested as a child that she felt gaining weight would stop the abuse. Yes she need to talk about it. The reason I quit putting my info down was because I got all kinds of crazy e mails and calls all times of night. Some would be drunk just wanted me to talk to them. I have a family. It's not that i minded talking. I've seen more than you know. It's not just those with food, or other additions, I've made friends i still talk to. Those with chronic conditions ect. We all.go through things. It help knowing someone care. Nobody list their personal info. Times have gotten crazy. I've had issues with people wanting to see where I live, what I look like, some even ask for money. Do you know how many scams are out there. I stopped putting my info out there. If a person is not in my contact my phone will not accept calls, some even say scams. It's not like you can call dr niles office say hey I would like to help this person. You will probably get hung up.on reported as a stalker, or worse. Unless you know the law, there is certain things you can't do. This country is still in the middle of a pandemic. Who knows how old these shows are. Some be from 2 years ago. It's good to give advice. But you don't want to expose people to unwanted trouble. Dr Niles do refer his patience to counseling. For those who need it. Lot of people are hurting right now. You will be suprised at the number of people who abuse others kindness. Nobody want to put thier family in danger. Covid is not over. I have a family. People have been rude, nasty and ugly. Hopefully by now this young woman has talked to someone. It's every parent responsibility to talk about abuse, what is not suppose to happen. We have a open door policy. Our children can tell us anything. They have books about thier bodies. What is wrong. We have never kissed our children on thier lips. Children have been being abused since I was a child. They get threatened, bullied at school. Know your child, teach them what is right and what is not. Many don't know what sexual abuse is unless you have told them what nobody is suppose to do and not do. What make me mad is grown men sexually abusing children. A child body is not made for sexual abuse. The damage, physically, mentally is a life time struggle. You can't trust nobody anymore. Family members abuse, prey on children. They are sick, demented people. It's a parents job to teach thier children. Nobody should violate them. We fail as parents if we don't talk to our children. Watch our children check thier bodies. Mines do not sit on nobody's lap. We are a family that has faith, Believe in Father God of most high. I know what is out there. If you see a child acting weird, afraid to be hugged something is wrong. That being said. Peace, love, respect, positivity and Blessings to you..🧘♀️🙌🌻🌷🙏🦋🌠🙂👋. Nj.
This reminds me of my childhood I am still a young 15-year old I live in the US but when I was a kid I had two other sisters one older than me and one younger my oldest sister use to go to work with my mom ( she was also kidding about 10-11) and I had a baby sister I use to take care of we were really poor I did not go to school until middle school when I came to the United State. I am really grateful for everything I have to now compare to my childhood
She is very determined and I commend her for dropping 100 pounds!!! That's inspiring and amazing I'm so happy for her. Would love to see her progress going forward. 💯🙏🏽👑
I see alot of negative comments so I just going to congratulate her on a 100lb weight loss. I'm sure she carries a lot of guilt with the burden that has carried over to her family. I'm proud of her for making the necessary changes to be where she can turn her test into testimony! The only time change isn't good is when it doesn't happen and needs to. Kudos and keep up the awesome work! I hope your story inspires others that have suffered in silence!
@@ankhkezn984 i think so albeit very expensive. Even natural sugars from fruits turn into fat if eaten in excess. Nuts are great for protein but if you look at the portion vs caloric intake eating a can of nuts that has 15 serving at 150 per serving is 2250 in calories. With all foods no matter what your diet everything boils down to portion control and moderation. Eat until your satisfied not full. You can trick your stomach by drinking a full glass of water before each meal. In nature some if the largest animals like an elephant and a panda are herbivores but they also basically eat their weight in plants
@@Coco-xw3wp you are such a hater.. are you mad because no man wants you? shes a beautiful girl and theres no reason for you to hate on her and act like she doesnt deserve love
God bless her daughter, I can't believe Ashley managed to get pregnant again. 😒 Ain't no way I'll have another child, and I can barely take care of myself!
@@AbolishTheATF I know that women are usually the main person to take care of children, but men should be doing their part to, Yes Men work, but they should be taken care of the children as well, you know like switching turns the mother relax while you change the diapers give them a bath that sort of thing, I believe in gender equality and believe that teamwork is always a dream work, and I want to apologize if my comment do not make sense, I tend to say something and not elaborate good enough. So if you want me to oh I would happily obliged
@@nothing-kn3tc oh so you're fat shaming now, what a surprise. Do you not know how many people have mental stress, yes there are people that get obese because they eat and don't take care of their health, versus people who had compulsive eating disorder because of a mental trauma, don't you get it at all? Or are you just too stubborn to understand? Yes we knows what she done, what happened, but why do you have to be so vengeful and spiteful of it?
@@demochris1786 if she ate and worked i wouldn’t have a problem. But if all you can do in life is eat and you expect a man to do her mommy duties and have a job, well then you are delusional
Trauma and molestation during childhood is something many of these patients do not talk about. But it is an emotional factor and makes perfect sense. Good for her for being brave enough to speak on it..
Here’s what I disagree with. People who get to this point of obesity is not because they love lasagne. This is a true addiction. To have the impulse to eat this excessively despite the damage it’s doing is not something that can be simply controlled with will power. The appetite urge is literally uncontrollable without drugs or extreme intervention. You can’t just “stop overeating”
Not only that, but a lot of these people have gotten sexually assulted when they were younger, and have used food as a comfort :/ that makes it even harder to break since its been their main coping skill.
Why can we not simply refuse to follow the compulsion? I have a history of following my compulsions a bit too much but guess what? Willpower wins. It's just repetitive choices that coincide with a goal and it hurts at first; it's really hard but something changes after a month or so and these choices become a habit and it gets easier and easier until significant changes have been made and everyone starts to notice.
I know the difference very well. I've always been overweight and I was overweight because I loved food and I didn't exercise. But it wasn't until I developed serious anxiety disorders as a teen and I used food to cope that I became severely obese. Most of the time that I ate huge quantities of food I wasn't hungry and I didn't even have cravings I just had this compulsion to open the fridge and devour everything. And I would eat literally anything, even plain butter. It's really difficult to stop this behavior and most people think you're just lazy and they judge you without knowing your situation.
I used to be fat and I remember eating because I felt comfort in my mouth when the food touched my tongue it made me so happy internally and I would even go 4 times to eat and I started going that sad path because I didn’t want to put the work to loose weight and I remember growing a double chin and I broke down because I used to fit in a extra small and now I’m back where I want to be all because I believe I could do it consistently and faith
Shes genuinely such a beautiful woman and I feel for what shes been through. Losing 100lbs ON HER OWN is amazing. I hope she reaches her goals and heals from her trauma.

This is so sad that poor girl the 11 year old looks so emotionally and physically drained.. it's too early for her to be feeling like she needs to retire. Poor baby
@@slopely I think it might have been a collision of different things. She got molested, she didn't feel she could tell her parents, she had an unhealthy relationship with food. it all is a cycle everything causing the other. Layers of trauma, i guess.
Everyone talking about how beautiful she is...she has pride in her appearance despite her weight, which is a rarity on this show. Just because your big doesn't mean you have to be dirty & sloppy.
I hate when parents are like “I feel bad for my daughter taking care of my other children but… it’s been this long and I chose to have another child even though I’m incapable of raising them myself.” Believe me I feel for that mom. But I feel for that daughter more, who gets to grow up being second mom.
@@AnniCarlsson I don’t think anyone judges people in specific hopes that they’ll become better people but the previous comment has a fair point. That at least she’s trying to be better. I still hate it though and too many parents let their children take care of their other children as if they had them for that reason and this women is but one.
I believe she the 1st patient since I've been watching this show that is genuinely honest about her habits, I hope she finds interstrength to pull through because I do feel bad for her daughter taking the responsibility as a stepmom to her little sister, kids should be kids no matter what at the end of the day.
She is gorgeous, so disgusting what she went through and so heart breaking that she ate to be able to protect herself 😭♥️ we are warriors and survivors no matter what shape or size

@@lifeofjazminherrera Why would it be yes? There's lots of problems with that - If you want people to believe in what you do, posting about it in random threads is the worst way to go about it. - Insinuating to just "trust in the lord" is insulting for this situation in itself. Does that mean the lord was fine with her getting molested for years? There's no justification for why this divine being wouldn't have interfered then, but would've given her strength now. - It's also ridiculous (to attest to my last point) that this is the work of anyone except for herself. She is the one who put in all the effort. If she didn't, she'd die of obesity. The idea that it was given to her to anyone besides herself due to the tremendous amount of self control and effort is crazy in itself. I have nothing against religion, but indoctrination to whatever set of beliefs you personally want people to follow, especially in a thread on a video about a woman's addicition to food due to years of sexual abuse, is just stupid.
This is crazy I was molested from 10-13 and @16 I wanted to lose weight telling myself I wanted to just be skinny w no thighs no butt or boobs, not thinking about how my uncle loved touching my “curvaceous” body as a pre-/teen and now @21 I’m trying to gain my body back ❤
Extra curvy or rail thin doesn't really matter. Your body is fine just the way it is. You desire (and DESERVE) to feel SAFE no matter your shape. You did nothing wrong nor did you do anything to bring on the assault by having curves. I wish you complete healing & peace 💗🙏🏽

@@iamshakuri how the hell is that molestaion vibes I think she’s very beautiful as well and I’m not a molester. That nasty child molester didn’t see her beauty and abused it he was just a sick f*** he shouldn’t have even been looking at a child in a sexual way. He like many abusers was probably abused himself and never got help. Don’t compare kind compliments with sick child molesters. And losing the weight would make her more beautiful how is it wrong to say that? Beauty is not all about looks, and being healthy is being beautiful mentally and physically.
@@iamshakuri she actually should lose weight as it’s damaging her health and her bones.. also she can’t really walk. She could be Bedbound, it’s depressing. Im saying she would be even beautiful if she got heathy again read what I said “mentally” (mental health because being like this is depressing) and “ physically” her body/bones.. etc.. you’re honestly disgusting for thinking I was doing that. Always have someone twisting my words and being negative.
Kid will be blessed !! People have addictions, doesn’t mean they are bad, she just needs help in her food intake and therapy, why are people against children helping ? It’s good for them…makes them independent, & strong 💪🏽
@@JasmineThanai there’s a difference between helping and fully taking on a caregiver/mom role. you can’t be that good of a parent when you’re 600+ lbs and can’t walk a few feet without gasping for air. whatever she can’t do, i’m sure she makes her oldest do. because who else would do it? children need to be children.
@@sarcasticallyrearranged THIS! Of course kids should help with chores and have responsibilities that match their age but taking care of children and their own parent is traumatizing and will push them seek out terrible options
@@JasmineThanai don't be so ridiculous. The mother doesn't have a disease she just shovels food in. That child is being isolated after school, she should be playing dressing up with friends, be in the kitchen watching her mum cook proper normal food, that way she will be able to cook when she moves out on her own, having me time in her bedroom to read, paint or whatever. In the UK child slave labour was abolished at least 100 years ago. This is child abuse
I was sexually assaulted when I was 4 and my parents didn't do anything. I thought being big would protect me too. I'm doing better now. Getting in shape, lost a lot of weight and I hope for a better future for myself. I hope for her too❤️
Happened to me when i was 12. Nobody believed me, the family "friend" that did it confessed on her death bed in 2019. Thing is i played sports so i didnt resort to eating. I held anger for many years tho. I hope you are well now my friend, stuff like that absolutely should not happen to anyone and i hope the person responsible got whats coming to them
This woman is AMAZING! She went though a rough childhood, and then actually managed to lose weight, and a great amount of it too. I wish her the very best!
I feel really bad for her daughter. She has to take care of her mom, her sister and herself as well in such a young age. It's really awful to realize that this girl is forced by some obstacles to become an adult. All kids should have childhood, they don't have to worry for things for which only adults are responsible😢
Its very unfortunate what happened to her as child. If she was 250lbs at 7 years old, that means the parents wasn't paying attention to her seeing she was being abuse. I'm glad she was reaching her goals. Also she is very beautiful.
Doctor Now says he thinks she’s a liar. Rewatch it. He says she makes a lot of excuses for her continued over eating. Also I want to see a picture of her at 7 years old and 250lbs. Someone also said she never met her weight loss goals and ended up pregnant with another baby for the eleven year old to mother.🫣
So you must be feeling proud of her for finally pulling through and making good changes for her life so she can take care of her kid then right? Or you only focus on the negative. She got approved for weight loss surgery first try. Lost 100lbs in one month. That's alot more than most people do. But your only focusing on the one thing that she regrets the most to make yourself feel better about your life or possibly the bad decisions you made for your kids huh? If that's not the case then what is the point of watching this show and what is the point of your comment after she made those changes?
I'm so excited for you ! !!!!!! I am 60 years old and weighed 200 pounds. I couldn't walk coz I have bad hips !! So ! I just lost 60 pounds ! 😁💪👌👍 and I feel so MUCH ! BETTER ! you are young and beautiful and motivated ! And I know that you can do this because you've already proven that you're serious. No ! it's not easy ! Yes ! It will be hard ! But I can tell that you will succeed. Ive never gotten so excited for anyone before you !! You are going to feel wonderful and look like a million dollars and enjoy your life with your beautiful children ! And ! Think about all of the cute clothes waiting for you ! 🥰
OMG!! How many dozens of eggs? And the poor eldest daughter. I was there before,with my highest at 320. Had gastric bypass 19 years ago,and unrelated ,got very I'll this year,and had to gain 25 lbs. So now I am 141 is and discovered how good food is again!!. I know I am healthier,but not comfortable,as the weight is ALL in my middle. I hope she is a success story,as I have compassion for anyone overweight,no matter how much. Prayers& Blessings to ALL!! xoxo
she’s genuinely trying to get better, despite everything she went through as well as her unhealthy coping mechanisms. she’s a gorgeous soul, and i’m so proud of her for taking the initiative. the first steps are always the most difficult, and the fact that she’s doing it by herself is amazing
Episodes like these piss me off because I know how it feels to be the oldest and having to care for an entire family and being EXPECTED to and I started when I was only 11
Yeah. I was 10. I’m 31 and finally cutting everyone off. It doesn’t feel like a win due to my conditioning but I look forward to the person grow to be.
@@bepsera4756 cut them off once you leave their house. It will save you a lot of stress and grief later on. Learn your boundaries and work on your worth before you get in a long term relationship- best of luck!
NO why did you have a child when you were that big and couldn't take care of it .I feel no pity for her .I feel pity for the 11 year old child who is acting as a mother instead of being a kid !
She said, "I know I can." I believe she will recover from years lost and begin a new life for herself and children who desperately deserve a mother who can engage in thier lives in a positive manner. A true survivor! Her story is a good example as to why state laws need to change concerning child molesters. Someone robbing a bank gets more time in prison and that needs to be changed.
The time is the date of society is a immeasurable when you think about the impact on her children and her children, children and her and wider family just because someone demon decides to rob her of her innocence
This is why it bothers me when self righteous people sit behind a screen and judge a large person. You absolutely have no idea what a person is going through why they are the size they are. Fun facts: THERE IS ALWAYS A REASON!!!! It may not be be what you want to hear but there it is. I wish this woman all the best. She seems very determined❤
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; don't rely on your own intelligence." "I will ask the Father, and he will send another Companion, who will be with you forever." "The wages that sin pays are death, but God's gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
The reason is always valid. What can be judge is WHO they become(letting the problem win or they destroy it and better their lives and themselves) If they become a bad person that is on THEM but the reasons of one's own suffering is NOT their fault.
It makes me sick when parents have children when they can’t even take care of themselves let alone the children they already have. Taking care of her siblings is robbing her of her childhood.
I definitely agree, I’d say it makes me more sad than sick but sometimes parents have to make ends meet and work 2 jobs just to put food on the table, sometimes things go wrong and people lose money, sometimes they have kids unexpectedly and don’t want to abort, it’s different for everyone so we really can’t blame anyone. Everyone has struggles and that’s okay. It’s sad but that’s life
She’s a very dedicated mother. I do believe he’s concerned about her missing her children and emotional eating, but she’s a good northern and she loves them deeply and she’s willing to do what she has to do for her babies.
Sometimes, we need to separate ourselves in order to heal. That’s what she’s doing. YES it’s traumatic for her babies. Yes, it’s not ideal. But this is the best thing that could happen for everyone if she’s able to get down to a healthy weight. Then she will finally be able to be present in her children’s lives.
I'm surprised that she didn't have a heart attack or a stroke when she gave birth. Dr Now was "we'll run all the medical tests". No need, 10 month old baby, so she's got to be fine
She's doing something about it... Are you blind or do you like picking and pointing other people's faults out knowing damn well you have faults of your own. Have some decency to applaud someone DOING something to cnange. You obviously never been raped, abused, or hurt in a way that became self destructive. Compassion goes a long way. Count your blessings and don't loose your humanity. Everyone's guilty of falling short.... Perfect parents don't exist what matters is making necessary changes to improve their lives.... Smh!
God bless her and her children. I hope she was able to get to the healthy weight she needs to be and be able to take care of both of her daughters. The 11 yr old is still a baby.
She may be in emotional pain. But she's completely disregarding the emotional pain she's inflicting on her own daughter. She should love her daughter and desire her happiness more than she desires food. Just very sad to see.
@@cutienerdgirl I commend her for her efforts, I really do. They all deserve a healthier life in many ways. But in order for it to come to this point she most certainly did disregard the pain her daughter felt for quite some time. It's wonderful she's making changes now, but it doesn't erase the years up to this point that this young girl didn't get to fully enjoy being a child because she was prematurely made a caregiver.
Seeing her really try to make a difference and effort for herself and her kids is so great to see. Most people on this show try to be sneaky about their habits but she actually cares and it shows
I was about 200lbs at 8/9 years old. Over 300 by the time I was 16. Now at 25 I’m down to 174 and still losing weight. My weight was only partially from food addiction tho. I don’t understand how you can let yourself get that big, I couldn’t stand to look at myself when I got over 350.
You don't understand how she can let herself get that big, yet you've been 350 pounds? I'm not trying to be rude, but it sounds like you understand to me. Congrats on the weight loss though.
I'm proud of her for positively moving forward. Now that she is ready to go through the surgery, I'm praying everything will turn up for the better for her and her family. 🖤
I can’t ask for help when I’m in the hospital. I can’t IMAGINE asking my daughter to do EVERYTHING for me AND raise my other child. Don’t steal her child. This is also her moms fault. She was over fed as a child. And BS... her mom IS cooking for her! If she is really cooking for herself.... she can STOP making her daughter wait on her.
She's also a carer for her mother as well as primary carer for the baby. That's atrocious that she's making her 11year old take on all her adult responsibilities. I hope the kid gets gets a break and gets to hang out with kids her age and just be a kid.
Surprised children services aren’t involved. It’s practically child abuse to make your kid take care of her sister , mother and probably aging grandparents.
Im over here wondering why she couldn't explore adoption as an option or if not that then God forgive me sign away your rights and let the state take the baby. That may sound cold but I believe its better than being raised by parents who either don't want you or cant be relied upon to be real parents to you.
How was she able to safely get pregnant at that size and there are people smaller yet considered overweight and struggling to conceive and carry to term... wow that's crazy
Because biology has nothing to do with morality. Life isn't fair. Murderers die of old age. Children die of illness.. And somehow these people can make it to 600+ lbs while others around the world arent even eating on a daily basis!
I mean that’s why she’s trying to be better for her kids by losing the weight. Hopefully her daughters understand when they get older and know that she loves them.
@@hardcandyland No I finished the video but what I mean is none of it was supposed to happen from the beginning, that poor girl has already lost her childhood, no taking back the trauma already caused by the mother. However it’s great that she’s getting it together now, at least the little daughter won’t suffer as much as her older sister.
a lot of overweight people have struggled with eating disorders through trauma, such as many people in my life. they're so strong and im glad there are people like ashley who want to be there for their family and make themselves healthy
Why do some men think they can destroy a person's entire life just for their own sexual gratification? Aren't there prostitutes you can pay that would be willing to do anything? Leave children alone. I don't understand why molesting children is so prevalent. Can a man please explain this?
Not just men. Many nasty bit ch es touch little kids they babysit for. That's why parents put nanny cams everywhere in their homes. Female teachers mess with little boys, and many more instances of female chomos.
Honestly just thinking about all the poor kids that are forced to care forctheir parents like that...if i were in their shoes i would honestly resent my mom
right. i had to start taking care of my siblings when i was 8. my dad would make me stay home from school to do so. i’m 19 and still watching my younger siblings. i just hate how other people continue to treat their kids as second parents.
An 11 year old should not be raising a 9 month old because her mother cares more about food than her own children...most of these people are pretty pathetic...it's one thing to have no respect for yourself...but to then have children and foster your negligence onto them is totally disgraceful...
She is drop-dead gorgeous! She could be a model. I'm so proud that to see that she's on the right track. Unfortunately, she's without her kids, but hopefully with good progress, she'll work really hard to be healthy for them again.
Her situation is very sad, and she certainly deserves support and sympathy. But where are the modeling agencies that are waiting to hire her? We must be realistic.
It’s so heartbreaking to hear what she had to go through as a child. I hope she achieves her goals and dreams and gets healthy enough to be the mum she wants to be for her beautiful children
Why would you have another baby woman now your oldest daughter is forced to be a mother for YOUR child): very sad I'm a mom I can't imagine having to take that responsibility on at that age! It ain't easy!
Idiots who don’t think birth control exists for a reason, she damn well could control it. She should’ve had an abortion instead of ruining the younger daughters childhood.
@@alexandramoyer8785 it's crazy how you guys are acting like pregnancy isn't preventable lol. She didn't plan on it??? How about be responsible when you know if you have a child you can't properly care for it. Give me a break.
The fact that at 5-7 she thought she had to eat in order to get bigger and stronger to be able to fight off the man that was molesting her is absolutely heartbreaking.
She's strong
Just thinking that at this age she's very strong
I think the primary reason for her eating back then was probably to make herself feel better momentarily, like every other person who eats too much. it probably did help her to fight back (carrying fat around builds muscle) and it's quite likely that it made her less attractive to him. I think her weight probably did spare her a lot of abuse, but she's mostly giving that as the reason for her eating habit because "I gained weight to fight off the rapist" feels like a better reason than "I developed a food addiction because eating made me feel better". though I do think it's plausible that she was aware very early on that she could gain weight by eating a lot, and that it would help her fight harder.
@@Ass_of_Amalek I think that this woman knows her own though process and behaviors better than some random internet person. I doubt that she cares about optics and "what sounds better".
@@JordanP. You’re wrong, there is no way that a 5-7 year old girl believes that she can fight off a grown man. Im not a psychologist and even I know that she was eating as a coping mechanism. Think about it; her mother nor her father was there to protect her at 5 years old, that must be devastating and extremely confusing. Food clearly became something as a coping tool….Lastly if you watch enough of these videos of severely obese people you’ll find that many of them are ashamed and most of them have some form of denial and they try to minimize their behaviors when they get a chance.
@@servantofobedience9546 then you’re a just a spoilt child who is oblivious to the real world.
If a child is 250lbs at age 7… then the parents completely missed the signs of abuse. That or they patently ignored it
They're creole. Especially in the 90s (during her childhood) there was a big "dont tell nobody" kind of mentality with elders.
@@autumnasters facts!
If your child is obese to an extent they can't do things a average child there age can, they should be taken away because that is not fair, my cousin has pre diabetes because of his mom and he's 10, she forced her obese unhealthy life style on him now he's gonna die at 30
S W
In my opinion, allowing your child to balloon to 250 lbs & not doing anything about it is a form of child abuse.
@@kelleyannethomas5372 exactly it is

@@amandab8433 great to hear
She hasn't had a childhood 😢. It's abuse, and cps should take both children away. If she had to move around and get her own food she would eat less. That child should be playing, doing homework out with her friends as well. Not isolated caring for a parent who's problems should not be visited on her. Im so annoyed. People talk about these 600lb people as if they have a disease, it's not cancer or ms etc, it's shovelling food in. Before you say fat shaming I went from UK size 18 to UK size 10-12. Did it mostly for me health, I've had strokes, cancer, heart attacks and have copd, so have given up smoking after 20 odd years. Will power works
If a child weighs that much It's 100% the parents fault
Very true
Did you watch before commenting?
@@neeko1263 That’s a fair comment but don’t you think that the parent/parents should have noticed that their child was unhealthy or unhappy? I don’t mean it in a critical of your comment way, I just was thinking in a different way that was all.
Damn, 250 pounds at 7 yrs old. Child protective services be worried about every other good parents but they don't worry about the parents that don't give af about their kids
True true
Seeing young kids being parents to their siblings on this show because the actual parent is immobile always breaks my heart. It’s so much responsibility at such a young age, and their childhoods are robbed.
Poverty can also rob childhood too. My mom a single mom with five children. My dad pass away from a car accident when I was 2. She no other men came into her life. My 2 oldest siblings started working part-time at 16 to help, while mom work 2 jobs while third brother became the housewife fourth was 6 years old third brother was 10.
But her childhood was robbed as well, so it's just a vicious cycle. Her parents let her down, so honestly I don't fully blame her. She got bigger because she thought it would protect her.
@@latonyanewsome0 So she choose to continue the insanity and have children with no active father in their lives, no home of their own, having to live with her parents and the two children she had in reality are going to be their mother's future caregivers. This mother only focuses on herself and has no concern of the missed childhood her daughters will never know. She's an adult child, having her parents care for her and arranged to have children to take over when the parents are too old.
For real. And who the hell is the a hole who impregnated this woman? He knew what that would cause
God loves us all so much that he gave his perfect son to die for our sins and raised him from the grave to defeat death. Through faith in JESUS we can be saved and reconciled to GOD. please repent🙏♥️

This absolutely breaks my heart. She didn’t gain weight out of selfishness or anything, she just wanted awful things to stop happening to her at such a young age.
But why keep eating
@@yolandgibson1233 some people eat to cope with things hurting them or in her case to make her “stronger”. Food for some people is a form of comfort like a hug or words of affirmation. Psychology is unusual.
@@yolandgibson1233 obviously she never healed from the sexual abuse she suffered as a child. plus she created these unhealthy eating habits as a kid, which made it especially hard to break free from as an adult.
@Yoland Gibson it isn't uncommon for survivors of sexual abuse to unconsciously try to become less attractive to their abuser, or potential abusers, as a protective action. It's heart breaking and it can sabotage a person's weight loss when the person sees themselves at a healthy weight and is reminded of the abuse. It's not a physical handicap but an emotional and mental one
😢😭
The reaction of a child gaining a dangerous amount of weight in a short period of time because they want to be bigger and stronger or less appealing to their abuser is not strange at all. But it is a tremendous indicator that something is going on and where adults should have investigated where this behavior was coming from.
Based on physcology it is actually known that the reason people gain weight mentally is a way to protect themselves from others. Weight gain covers up your sexual organs and thusly your sexual appeal for most research it. Most obese people were infact abused as children and food is basically a drug it gives the release of oxytocin or serotonin in the brain. When your an adult and this occurs from a traumatic event narcotics and substances do the same.
@@monaymonay7446 Huh, that actually makes sense...
That's true, i remember i gain from 42kgs to 58-60kg in 2months and I was atheltic at 12 so that was alot for me and all due to s**xual abuse for 2 yrs. I don't think I was trying to gain weight but for sure my hormones were wack due to stress and I wanted self relief.
Let's take the sexual abuse out of it.
No one at *all* stopped to ask how this 7-year-old weighed as much as a 7' linebacker?
Parents failed her, this is so sad. This woman deserves the world. So does her children, hope nothing but the best for these beautiful people.
She's naturally pretty and has the right mindset, I hope she gets to where she wants to be at so she can be with her kids and prove she's the good mom she says she is.

I always feel bad for the children who appear on this show, having to grow up so fast for the people who should be taking care of you is always so heartbreaking to see
But i am proud of the mother tho, going to the gym and putting in the work
But their story ought to be heard too. This is an important lesson for us to all view.
She had another baby, DIDNT even finish her weight loss journey
No business having babies when your parents are still caring for you bc you can’t care for yourself.
I can't hardly believe that a woman who's THIS morbidly obese can even give birth!! It's absolutely astounding!!
I can relate to her. I too was molested for years. My emotional escape was to eat. Thankfully my highest weight was “only” 338. Lost 138 with WW and self effort. At 63 I still struggle with being over weight. Good for her for taking control of herself 💝

I feel for her oldest daughter. She is dealing with trauma because her mom never healed from her trauma. Poor girl. She probably ain’t never gone want her own kids after having to rush through her childhood to be a mom at 11.
Unfortunately, it usually happens in the other direction: take control of the adult things and end up being an unplanned parent.
Yeah, I completely sympathize with this woman and her struggles, but I still think she was wrong in bringing children to the world that she could not take care of. You shouldn’t be having babies and expecting your 11 yo *child* to take care of it. That kid had to take care of herself, her mother, and a baby, before she even hit puberty. And given the physical state of her mother it’s unlikely she had much care given to her as a child either.
@@TumblinWeeds You act like it was her choice. She's not from a State that even before recent times was amenable to abortion. She was likely also told by her doctors that her weight made her infertile.

Absolutely agree why have another child if you know you can't take care of her
I think that they probably think they can't conceive anymore if they're that big so there's no use of taking any precautions even though that's not true.
Amen. She should have waited until she lost all the weight before she had the baby. 😔
Agreed. If she can lay and put in work to make that baby she should be able to take care of it not pass the obligation to that poor child who’s a baby herself.
it could have been an accident, and maybe she’s unable to get an abortion due to her size.
You can tell she doesn't wanna let herself go ... even though she is 600 plus pounds she still does make up, dresses up etc
As weird as it sounds, she looks good for her weight, I'm excited to see her after the weight loss. Shedding the weight will reveal the beautiful person underneath. God bless that young girl taking care of baby sister.

Why is no one talking about how almost all of the people on this show were molested at a very young age and used food to escape that. Obviously that’s going to seriously affect someone for their entire life. It’s not your place to judge someone who has been through something like that.
Edit: You do not know this person. What makes you think it’s okay to just blurt out how you feel about her situation. Your opinion does absolutely nothing to help her.
Edit: Some of these replies are not it…. You don’t just comment your opinion about the life of someone you don’t even know. And then claim you’re “concerned for their health”. If you were genuinely worried about this woman and her children’s health, you would be trying reach out to her privately. The way that some people will say such harsh things, but in a way that makes it seem sincere is sickening. If you haven’t been through the exact same situation as this woman then you should keep your mouth shut. I am not justifying anyone or anything but the fact that your opinions need to be kept to yourselves. You know that saying everyone is taught as a kid “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it.”. This is a perfect place to practice that for those of you who never grasped the concept of it. It is not her fault that being repeatedly drugged and raped at five years old affected her this way. Why would you ever think it’s okay to make someone feel guilty for their trauma? These comments make me so sad.
(Edit) It kinda seems like a lot of the people who replied didn’t bother to read the whole comment.
I’m not forcing you to change your opinion, I’m simply sharing mine.
Right I see so many ppl judging but trauma affects ppl in different ways
Yes Samantha!, YES! Thank you! Everyone needs to understand this, so they can stop blaming them and start looking for the perpetrator! So happy you made this comment!
All addiction is caused by childhood trauma. If you watch shows about drug addicts and alcoholics you'll see the same pattern.
I thought the same thing and also thought besides the physical change, that the show should push mental and emotional health to help these people get better.

Just because you were abuse doesn't make it right for you to do the same to the people around you, especially when you're an adult and or a mother! bringing human(s) in the world!

How in the world do they even manage to get pregnant? How do they manage to have a full-term pregnancy without risking their own health, and without suffocating the fetus?
i was wondering the same
Because all the stuff doctors tell you about pregnancy and infertility are wrong. Nobody can get pregnant faster than a physically/mentally unhealthy person
Irresponsible
How exactly would the fetus be suffocated? Fetuses don't breathe. She's literally just lucky. Getting and staying pregnant, then having a healthy baby, was pure luck for someone her size.
It’s so important to break those cycles of abuse and trauma. The importance of giving your kids attention, love, time, and effort. Most importantly don’t trust your kids around nobody. Her daughter doesn’t deserve to have all that responsibility she’s so beautiful with a life ahead of her. It’s understandable helping your parents but not to the point of being a second caregiver or helper especially if your mother has children that they are meant to tend for and care for not the siblings.

First of all I counsel people for free all the time because I care. This is the first time I'm seeing this
If I knew her email address or could text her I would. We don't see everything. They are not going to say she was molested as a child that she felt gaining weight would stop the abuse. Yes she need to talk about it. The reason I quit putting my info down was because I got all kinds of crazy e mails and calls all times of night. Some would be drunk just wanted me to talk to them. I have a family. It's not that i minded talking. I've seen more than you know. It's not just those with food, or other additions, I've made friends i still talk to. Those with chronic conditions ect. We all.go through things. It help knowing someone care. Nobody list their personal info. Times have gotten crazy. I've had issues with people wanting to see where I live, what I look like, some even ask for money. Do you know how many scams are out there. I stopped putting my info out there. If a person is not in my contact my phone will not accept calls, some even say scams. It's not like you can call dr niles office say hey I would like to help this person. You will probably get hung up.on reported as a stalker, or worse. Unless you know the law, there is certain things you can't do. This country is still in the middle of a pandemic. Who knows how old these shows are. Some be from 2 years ago. It's good to give advice. But you don't want to expose people to unwanted trouble. Dr Niles do refer his patience to counseling. For those who need it. Lot of people are hurting right now. You will be suprised at the number of people who abuse others kindness. Nobody want to put thier family in danger. Covid is not over. I have a family. People have been rude, nasty and ugly. Hopefully by now this young woman has talked to someone. It's every parent responsibility to talk about abuse, what is not suppose to happen. We have a open door policy. Our children can tell us anything. They have books about thier bodies. What is wrong. We have never kissed our children on thier lips. Children have been being abused since I was a child. They get threatened, bullied at school. Know your child, teach them what is right and what is not. Many don't know what sexual abuse is unless you have told them what nobody is suppose to do and not do. What make me mad is grown men sexually abusing children. A child body is not made for sexual abuse. The damage, physically, mentally is a life time struggle. You can't trust nobody anymore. Family members abuse, prey on children. They are sick, demented people. It's a parents job to teach thier children. Nobody should violate them. We fail as parents if we don't talk to our children. Watch our children check thier bodies. Mines do not sit on nobody's lap. We are a family that has faith, Believe in Father God of most high. I know what is out there. If you see a child acting weird, afraid to be hugged something is wrong. That being said. Peace, love, respect, positivity and Blessings to you..🧘♀️🙌🌻🌷🙏🦋🌠🙂👋. Nj.
Really it's important to take some personal responsibility too it's not always trauma it's addiction to food.
This reminds me of my childhood I am still a young 15-year old I live in the US but when I was a kid I had two other sisters one older than me and one younger my oldest sister use to go to work with my mom ( she was also kidding about 10-11) and I had a baby sister I use to take care of we were really poor I did not go to school until middle school when I came to the United State. I am really grateful for everything I have to now compare to my childhood
She's killing em with the face alone. I can only imagine when she gets to her weight goal!! You betta work sis!!
Yazzz😊I agree...
True. I like her face!
She's gorgeous. When all that weight is lost she will be a stunning woman.
Yea she pretty
fr she so pretty
Her story actually has me nearly in tears. Poor girl. This is why, as easy as it is to judge just by looking at someone, we shouldn’t.
She is very determined and I commend her for dropping 100 pounds!!! That's inspiring and amazing I'm so happy for her. Would love to see her progress going forward. 💯🙏🏽👑
I see alot of negative comments so I just going to congratulate her on a 100lb weight loss. I'm sure she carries a lot of guilt with the burden that has carried over to her family. I'm proud of her for making the necessary changes to be where she can turn her test into testimony! The only time change isn't good is when it doesn't happen and needs to. Kudos and keep up the awesome work! I hope your story inspires others that have suffered in silence!
💛💛💛 Yes....congrats to her and I hope it just gets better and better from here.
One question im a vegetarian is it possible for a vegetarian person that can wayy 600 pounds is it possible?
@@ankhkezn984 i think so albeit very expensive. Even natural sugars from fruits turn into fat if eaten in excess. Nuts are great for protein but if you look at the portion vs caloric intake eating a can of nuts that has 15 serving at 150 per serving is 2250 in calories. With all foods no matter what your diet everything boils down to portion control and moderation. Eat until your satisfied not full. You can trick your stomach by drinking a full glass of water before each meal. In nature some if the largest animals like an elephant and a panda are herbivores but they also basically eat their weight in plants
@@miriamivy5923 i doint think it's possible u cant gain alot of weight from eating fruits and vegetables
@@ankhkezn984 I think what it boils down to is how an individual processes their food. Also being a vegetarian is less strict than being vegan.
She’s honestly stunning. Wish her lots of success and healing.
Yes she is! Her nails and lashes are done. She has clear skin, full lips, a perfect nose, and beautiful curly hair! That’s the first thing I noticed.
She's such a beautiful woman and her smile! Wow
My question is this 🤔 who was diving in that in order to get her pregnant? The baby's only 10 months my goodness!! These dudes don't care!!
@@Coco-xw3wp sorry you’re bitter and lonely and fat people can still find love
@@Coco-xw3wp you are such a hater.. are you mad because no man wants you? shes a beautiful girl and theres no reason for you to hate on her and act like she doesnt deserve love
God bless her daughter, I can't believe Ashley managed to get pregnant again. 😒 Ain't no way I'll have another child, and I can barely take care of myself!
They’re usually pretty selfish so I’m not surprised
@@AbolishTheATF I know that women are usually the main person to take care of children, but men should be doing their part to, Yes Men work, but they should be taken care of the children as well, you know like switching turns the mother relax while you change the diapers give them a bath that sort of thing, I believe in gender equality and believe that teamwork is always a dream work, and I want to apologize if my comment do not make sense, I tend to say something and not elaborate good enough. So if you want me to oh I would happily obliged
@@demochris1786 she only eats, she doesn’t work. Why should the man have to do both jobs
@@nothing-kn3tc oh so you're fat shaming now, what a surprise. Do you not know how many people have mental stress, yes there are people that get obese because they eat and don't take care of their health, versus people who had compulsive eating disorder because of a mental trauma, don't you get it at all? Or are you just too stubborn to understand? Yes we knows what she done, what happened, but why do you have to be so vengeful and spiteful of it?
@@demochris1786 if she ate and worked i wouldn’t have a problem. But if all you can do in life is eat and you expect a man to do her mommy duties and have a job, well then you are delusional
Trauma and molestation during childhood is something many of these patients do not talk about. But it is an emotional factor and makes perfect sense. Good for her for being brave enough to speak on it..
I'm proud of her for naturally losing 100 pounds and actually trying. Keep up the good work girl!!
John 3:16 “for God so loved the world he sacrificed his one and only son” put your faith in God!!
Here’s what I disagree with. People who get to this point of obesity is not because they love lasagne. This is a true addiction. To have the impulse to eat this excessively despite the damage it’s doing is not something that can be simply controlled with will power. The appetite urge is literally uncontrollable without drugs or extreme intervention. You can’t just “stop overeating”
Not only that, but a lot of these people have gotten sexually assulted when they were younger, and have used food as a comfort :/ that makes it even harder to break since its been their main coping skill.
Agreed! Thanks for this perspective.
right. it's a compulsion.
Why can we not simply refuse to follow the compulsion? I have a history of following my compulsions a bit too much but guess what? Willpower wins. It's just repetitive choices that coincide with a goal and it hurts at first; it's really hard but something changes after a month or so and these choices become a habit and it gets easier and easier until significant changes have been made and everyone starts to notice.
I know the difference very well. I've always been overweight and I was overweight because I loved food and I didn't exercise. But it wasn't until I developed serious anxiety disorders as a teen and I used food to cope that I became severely obese. Most of the time that I ate huge quantities of food I wasn't hungry and I didn't even have cravings I just had this compulsion to open the fridge and devour everything. And I would eat literally anything, even plain butter. It's really difficult to stop this behavior and most people think you're just lazy and they judge you without knowing your situation.
"My life has not turned out any way like I thought it would." Gurl same
Im hearing that so loud
Pretty young lady
Yup
I used to be fat and I remember eating because I felt comfort in my mouth when the food touched my tongue it made me so happy internally and I would even go 4 times to eat and I started going that sad path because I didn’t want to put the work to loose weight and I remember growing a double chin and I broke down because I used to fit in a extra small and now I’m back where I want to be all because I believe I could do it consistently and faith
Shes genuinely such a beautiful woman and I feel for what shes been through. Losing 100lbs ON HER OWN is amazing. I hope she reaches her goals and heals from her trauma.

This is so sad that poor girl the 11 year old looks so emotionally and physically drained.. it's too early for her to be feeling like she needs to retire. Poor baby
Bad parenting is the cause for a 7 years old to eat her life away.
it’s just excuses
Or trauma that might not be caused by the parents
@@slopely was about to say this! Like did OP not listen or what.
@@slopely I think it might have been a collision of different things. She got molested, she didn't feel she could tell her parents, she had an unhealthy relationship with food. it all is a cycle everything causing the other. Layers of trauma, i guess.
It because trauma when she was abused. She turned to an eating habit.
Everyone talking about how beautiful she is...she has pride in her appearance despite her weight, which is a rarity on this show. Just because your big doesn't mean you have to be dirty & sloppy.
I don’t care how she looks. I want her to be an active parent!!!
I hate when parents are like “I feel bad for my daughter taking care of my other children but… it’s been this long and I chose to have another child even though I’m incapable of raising them myself.” Believe me I feel for that mom. But I feel for that daughter more, who gets to grow up being second mom.
And no mention of the baby-daddies at all. Where are the sperm donors?
@@LuckyBadger good question
I get it but at least she is bettering herself to be a better parent and that is something that should be applauded
And judge her really going to make her change you think?
@@AnniCarlsson I don’t think anyone judges people in specific hopes that they’ll become better people but the previous comment has a fair point. That at least she’s trying to be better. I still hate it though and too many parents let their children take care of their other children as if they had them for that reason and this women is but one.
I believe she the 1st patient since I've been watching this show that is genuinely honest about her habits, I hope she finds interstrength to pull through because I do feel bad for her daughter taking the responsibility as a stepmom to her little sister, kids should be kids no matter what at the end of the day.
She is gorgeous, so disgusting what she went through and so heart breaking that she ate to be able to protect herself 😭♥️ we are warriors and survivors no matter what shape or size

@@davidhawkins3031 no
@@dirtyb0ngwater117 why no?
@@lifeofjazminherrera Why would it be yes? There's lots of problems with that
- If you want people to believe in what you do, posting about it in random threads is the worst way to go about it.
- Insinuating to just "trust in the lord" is insulting for this situation in itself. Does that mean the lord was fine with her getting molested for years? There's no justification for why this divine being wouldn't have interfered then, but would've given her strength now.
- It's also ridiculous (to attest to my last point) that this is the work of anyone except for herself. She is the one who put in all the effort. If she didn't, she'd die of obesity. The idea that it was given to her to anyone besides herself due to the tremendous amount of self control and effort is crazy in itself.
I have nothing against religion, but indoctrination to whatever set of beliefs you personally want people to follow, especially in a thread on a video about a woman's addicition to food due to years of sexual abuse, is just stupid.
This is crazy I was molested from 10-13 and @16 I wanted to lose weight telling myself I wanted to just be skinny w no thighs no butt or boobs, not thinking about how my uncle loved touching my “curvaceous” body as a pre-/teen and now @21 I’m trying to gain my body back ❤
Im so sorry i hope you can heal ❣ you deserved way better
So sorry for you queen 😢so happy it got better 😢❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
Extra curvy or rail thin doesn't really matter. Your body is fine just the way it is. You desire (and DESERVE) to feel SAFE no matter your shape. You did nothing wrong nor did you do anything to bring on the assault by having curves. I wish you complete healing & peace 💗🙏🏽
I’m so sorry you went through that 😢

@@iamshakuri how the hell is that molestaion vibes I think she’s very beautiful as well and I’m not a molester. That nasty child molester didn’t see her beauty and abused it he was just a sick f*** he shouldn’t have even been looking at a child in a sexual way. He like many abusers was probably abused himself and never got help. Don’t compare kind compliments with sick child molesters. And losing the weight would make her more beautiful how is it wrong to say that? Beauty is not all about looks, and being healthy is being beautiful mentally and physically.
She's still young she can turn it around
@@iamshakuri she actually should lose weight as it’s damaging her health and her bones.. also she can’t really walk. She could be Bedbound, it’s depressing. Im saying she would be even beautiful if she got heathy again read what I said “mentally” (mental health because being like this is depressing) and “ physically” her body/bones.. etc.. you’re honestly disgusting for thinking I was doing that. Always have someone twisting my words and being negative.
This is so unfair for her kid.
Kid will be blessed !! People have addictions, doesn’t mean they are bad, she just needs help in her food intake and therapy, why are people against children helping ? It’s good for them…makes them independent, & strong 💪🏽
@@JasmineThanai there’s a difference between helping and fully taking on a caregiver/mom role. you can’t be that good of a parent when you’re 600+ lbs and can’t walk a few feet without gasping for air. whatever she can’t do, i’m sure she makes her oldest do. because who else would do it? children need to be children.
No, it makes them resentful and desperate to get out of the house which ends up putting the kids in bad situations.
@@sarcasticallyrearranged THIS! Of course kids should help with chores and have responsibilities that match their age but taking care of children and their own parent is traumatizing and will push them seek out terrible options
@@JasmineThanai don't be so ridiculous. The mother doesn't have a disease she just shovels food in. That child is being isolated after school, she should be playing dressing up with friends, be in the kitchen watching her mum cook proper normal food, that way she will be able to cook when she moves out on her own, having me time in her bedroom to read, paint or whatever. In the UK child slave labour was abolished at least 100 years ago. This is child abuse
The fact that she’s literally gorgeous! Really pray for her and the kids and my heart really goes out to aniya ❣️ hope their doing okay 🙂
I love how she does her makeup and is so stylish, what an accomplishment to lose all that weight! Way to go girl.
Right she’s beautiful
I was sexually assaulted when I was 4 and my parents didn't do anything. I thought being big would protect me too. I'm doing better now. Getting in shape, lost a lot of weight and I hope for a better future for myself. I hope for her too❤️
I’m sorry ur a very strong individual to share your story and experience what you went through I truly wish you the best much love 💕
Happened to me when i was 12. Nobody believed me, the family "friend" that did it confessed on her death bed in 2019. Thing is i played sports so i didnt resort to eating. I held anger for many years tho. I hope you are well now my friend, stuff like that absolutely should not happen to anyone and i hope the person responsible got whats coming to them
I hope you’re doing alright and that you are achieving all your goals. I’m sorry for what happened I know that you’re gonna do good
This woman is AMAZING! She went though a rough childhood, and then actually managed to lose weight, and a great amount of it too. I wish her the very best!
I feel really bad for her daughter. She has to take care of her mom, her sister and herself as well in such a young age. It's really awful to realize that this girl is forced by some obstacles to become an adult. All kids should have childhood, they don't have to worry for things for which only adults are responsible😢
Its very unfortunate what happened to her as child. If she was 250lbs at 7 years old, that means the parents wasn't paying attention to her seeing she was being abuse. I'm glad she was reaching her goals. Also she is very beautiful.
A lot of parents whose kids are being abused are in denial. And that is more abuse by and in itself.
Doctor Now says he thinks she’s a liar. Rewatch it. He says she makes a lot of excuses for her continued over eating. Also I want to see a picture of her at 7 years old and 250lbs. Someone also said she never met her weight loss goals and ended up pregnant with another baby for the eleven year old to mother.🫣
I feel so bad for Ashley's daughter having to take care of her baby sister all the time :l
Right, that's so unfair. Why have a baby if you can't take care of it, if you have to pass the work off to your older daughter
Yes, the kids are the only victims
So you must be feeling proud of her for finally pulling through and making good changes for her life so she can take care of her kid then right? Or you only focus on the negative. She got approved for weight loss surgery first try. Lost 100lbs in one month. That's alot more than most people do. But your only focusing on the one thing that she regrets the most to make yourself feel better about your life or possibly the bad decisions you made for your kids huh? If that's not the case then what is the point of watching this show and what is the point of your comment after she made those changes?
nah you didn't change my mind haha
Right what a mess
I'm so excited for you ! !!!!!! I am 60 years old and weighed 200 pounds. I couldn't walk coz I have bad hips !! So ! I just lost 60 pounds ! 😁💪👌👍 and I feel so MUCH ! BETTER ! you are young and beautiful and motivated ! And I know that you can do this because you've already proven that you're serious. No ! it's not easy ! Yes ! It will be hard ! But I can tell that you will succeed. Ive never gotten so excited for anyone before you !! You are going to feel wonderful and look like a million dollars and enjoy your life with your beautiful children ! And ! Think about all of the cute clothes waiting for you ! 🥰
Congratulations on the accomplishment for getting your health under control 👏
She has no business having a child she cannot physically care for.
OMG!! How many dozens of eggs? And the poor eldest daughter. I was there before,with my highest at 320. Had gastric bypass 19 years ago,and unrelated ,got very I'll this year,and had to gain 25 lbs. So now I am 141 is and discovered how good food is again!!. I know I am healthier,but not comfortable,as the weight is ALL in my middle. I hope she is a success story,as I have compassion for anyone overweight,no matter how much. Prayers& Blessings to ALL!! xoxo
I'm glad you're feeling better and proud of you for reaching a healthy weight.
Mrs.cynthia how you doing now with the weight loss surgery
Good luck and happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family.
she’s genuinely trying to get better, despite everything she went through as well as her unhealthy coping mechanisms. she’s a gorgeous soul, and i’m so proud of her for taking the initiative. the first steps are always the most difficult, and the fact that she’s doing it by herself is amazing
Episodes like these piss me off because I know how it feels to be the oldest and having to care for an entire family and being EXPECTED to and I started when I was only 11
Yeah. I was 10. I’m 31 and finally cutting everyone off. It doesn’t feel like a win due to my conditioning but I look forward to the person grow to be.
@@TimTheEnchanter0 I'm 19 now and just finally getting away from my family- I'm glad you got a start much more earlier on than me

@@bepsera4756 cut them off once you leave their house. It will save you a lot of stress and grief later on. Learn your boundaries and work on your worth before you get in a long term relationship- best of luck!
NO why did you have a child when you were that big and couldn't take care of it .I feel no pity for her .I feel pity for the 11 year old child who is acting as a mother instead of being a kid !
She said, "I know I can." I believe she will recover from years lost and begin a new life for herself and children who desperately deserve a mother who can engage in thier lives in a positive manner. A true survivor! Her story is a good example as to why state laws need to change concerning child molesters. Someone robbing a bank gets more time in prison and that needs to be changed.
The time is the date of society is a immeasurable when you think about the impact on her children and her children, children and her and wider family just because someone demon decides to rob her of her innocence
This is why it bothers me when self righteous people sit behind a screen and judge a large person. You absolutely have no idea what a person is going through why they are the size they are.
Fun facts: THERE IS ALWAYS A REASON!!!!
It may not be be what you want to hear but there it is.
I wish this woman all the best. She seems very determined❤
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; don't rely on your own intelligence." "I will ask the Father, and he will send another Companion, who will be with you forever." "The wages that sin pays are death, but God's gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
The reason is always valid. What can be judge is WHO they become(letting the problem win or they destroy it and better their lives and themselves) If they become a bad person that is on THEM but the reasons of one's own suffering is NOT their fault.
It makes me sick when parents have children when they can’t even take care of themselves let alone the children they already have. Taking care of her siblings is robbing her of her childhood.
Exactly right
Her long nails wouldn’t make it any easier either
Right
Same.
I definitely agree, I’d say it makes me more sad than sick but sometimes parents have to make ends meet and work 2 jobs just to put food on the table, sometimes things go wrong and people lose money, sometimes they have kids unexpectedly and don’t want to abort, it’s different for everyone so we really can’t blame anyone. Everyone has struggles and that’s okay. It’s sad but that’s life
Thank you
She is strong and amazing she gots this! She is so strong
She’s a very dedicated mother. I do believe he’s concerned about her missing her children and emotional eating, but she’s a good northern and she loves them deeply and she’s willing to do what she has to do for her babies.
Sometimes, we need to separate ourselves in order to heal. That’s what she’s doing. YES it’s traumatic for her babies. Yes, it’s not ideal. But this is the best thing that could happen for everyone if she’s able to get down to a healthy weight. Then she will finally be able to be present in her children’s lives.
I don’t watch this show a lot but she seems refreshingly honest compared to other patients I’ve seen.
If only everyone on this show had her attitude and dedication. Girl actually hit the gym.
strong woman despite everything she has gone through, I wished her and her family the best
9 MONTHS OLD??!!! Why would you have a baby at that size knowing your not capable of taking care of her….that’s selfish in my opinion.
Don’t get me wrong I wish the best for that woman but think about the children…they are above all.
She liked feeling good apparently
She could have given that child up.
Well, she's trying to lose weight.
I'm surprised that she didn't have a heart attack or a stroke when she gave birth. Dr Now was "we'll run all the medical tests". No need, 10 month old baby, so she's got to be fine
She is so beautiful and her children are amazing
Is can lose wight with healthy diet exercise is can have bypass surgery is also helping
Tell me if I'm wrong... I think u said that in you can loose weight and diet you can have bypass surgery? If so I know you can do it
9l
They are. I knows she’s trying
Don't have a baby if you can't look after it. Your older kids shouldn't be looking after YOUR baby. So selfish
💯
She is pretty big poor woman
Ass hurts again
wish someone said that to my parents 😂😂😂😭
She's doing something about it... Are you blind or do you like picking and pointing other people's faults out knowing damn well you have faults of your own. Have some decency to applaud someone DOING something to cnange. You obviously never been raped, abused, or hurt in a way that became self destructive. Compassion goes a long way. Count your blessings and don't loose your humanity. Everyone's guilty of falling short.... Perfect parents don't exist what matters is making necessary changes to improve their lives.... Smh!
God bless her and her children. I hope she was able to get to the healthy weight she needs to be and be able to take care of both of her daughters. The 11 yr old is still a baby.
She may be in emotional pain. But she's completely disregarding the emotional pain she's inflicting on her own daughter. She should love her daughter and desire her happiness more than she desires food.
Just very sad to see.
I think she has since she’s trying to make a change
She didn't disregard her daughter, she said *she's trying to change for her daughter.*
@@cutienerdgirl I commend her for her efforts, I really do. They all deserve a healthier life in many ways.
But in order for it to come to this point she most certainly did disregard the pain her daughter felt for quite some time. It's wonderful she's making changes now, but it doesn't erase the years up to this point that this young girl didn't get to fully enjoy being a child because she was prematurely made a caregiver.
YOU GO GIRL! IM SO HAPPY TO SEE A MOTHER MAKING THAT CHNAGE FOR NOT JUST HERSELF FOR KIDS!! PLEASE KEEP GOING!! 🙏🏾
Seeing her really try to make a difference and effort for herself and her kids is so great to see. Most people on this show try to be sneaky about their habits but she actually cares and it shows
I was about 200lbs at 8/9 years old. Over 300 by the time I was 16. Now at 25 I’m down to 174 and still losing weight.
My weight was only partially from food addiction tho. I don’t understand how you can let yourself get that big, I couldn’t stand to look at myself when I got over 350.
You don't understand how she can let herself get that big, yet you've been 350 pounds? I'm not trying to be rude, but it sounds like you understand to me. Congrats on the weight loss though.
I feel so bad for this woman. Hope she turns her life around
I'm proud of her for positively moving forward. Now that she is ready to go through the surgery, I'm praying everything will turn up for the better for her and her family. 🖤
I can’t ask for help when I’m in the hospital. I can’t IMAGINE asking my daughter to do EVERYTHING for me AND raise my other child. Don’t steal her child.
This is also her moms fault. She was over fed as a child. And BS... her mom IS cooking for her! If she is really cooking for herself.... she can STOP making her daughter wait on her.
Best person on this show, nothing will change my mind. She worked so hard.
She’s beautiful. I feel so bad that she had to endure all that as a child
11 year old kid shouldn't be a babysitter. What a life for them all. 😔
She's also a carer for her mother as well as primary carer for the baby. That's atrocious that she's making her 11year old take on all her adult responsibilities. I hope the kid gets gets a break and gets to hang out with kids her age and just be a kid.
@@elenawilliams32 Yeah. Maybe they are better off with their gran for the time being
Right poor baby and then had another baby smh
Surprised children services aren’t involved. It’s practically child abuse to make your kid take care of her sister , mother and probably aging grandparents.
Im over here wondering why she couldn't explore adoption as an option or if not that then God forgive me sign away your rights and let the state take the baby. That may sound cold but I believe its better than being raised by parents who either don't want you or cant be relied upon to be real parents to you.
How was she able to safely get pregnant at that size and there are people smaller yet considered overweight and struggling to conceive and carry to term... wow that's crazy
She's a fertile Myrtle
My hormones are so out of whack at 215. I can't believe she got pregnant and I can't. I guess everyone's different.
Unfortunately we dont get to decide who is fertile and who isnt. Plenty of people dont want their fertility, me included.
Because biology has nothing to do with morality. Life isn't fair. Murderers die of old age. Children die of illness.. And somehow these people can make it to 600+ lbs while others around the world arent even eating on a daily basis!
Yes I am one of those women so was thinking the same thing but miracles happen… she had two now can I please have one? 😆
Wow our stories are so similar I thought you were talking about me so glad you're taking your power back
This woman is failing her children, she needs to get her life together so she won’t traumatise her girls further, especially her poor oldest girl💔
No parent is perfect. This woman is at least trying to fix her issues.
I mean that’s why she’s trying to be better for her kids by losing the weight. Hopefully her daughters understand when they get older and know that she loves them.
that's what she's doing!
did you not see how much she was doing that, or did you stop watching 3min into the video?
@@hardcandyland No I finished the video but what I mean is none of it was supposed to happen from the beginning, that poor girl has already lost her childhood, no taking back the trauma already caused by the mother. However it’s great that she’s getting it together now, at least the little daughter won’t suffer as much as her older sister.
a lot of overweight people have struggled with eating disorders through trauma, such as many people in my life. they're so strong and im glad there are people like ashley who want to be there for their family and make themselves healthy
I’m 260 right now and I’m 17…I can’t imagine what it must have felt like to carry that weight on a child’s body. So glad she is getting better ❤️
And i cannot even gain weight
My dude me tooo but I'm 18 but I'm 6'2 HER POOR KNEES I just wish her the best

Thats too much for 17
@@marleendeboer3650 It all depends on the person really like there height is a big factor
Why do some men think they can destroy a person's entire life just for their own sexual gratification? Aren't there prostitutes you can pay that would be willing to do anything? Leave children alone. I don't understand why molesting children is so prevalent. Can a man please explain this?
Not just men. Many nasty bit ch es touch little kids they babysit for. That's why parents put nanny cams everywhere in their homes. Female teachers mess with little boys, and many more instances of female chomos.
So her 9 year old is the mom. This is an unfortunate cycle. I hope she is getting mental health help and not just physical.
Just me if you are not capable of physically take care of yourself. Why would you go ahead and have kids. What's wrong with people.
Over weaning egos.
Exactly. Lmk if you agree with my video how to make America a little greater !!
Another child forced to be the adult caring for younger siblings and being the parent to the parent. Disgusting.
Fr
Most “parents” are reckless breeders - I’m so sick of seeing it
And the kid is forced to be an enabler bringing her mom food.
Honestly just thinking about all the poor kids that are forced to care forctheir parents like that...if i were in their shoes i would honestly resent my mom
right. i had to start taking care of my siblings when i was 8. my dad would make me stay home from school to do so. i’m 19 and still watching my younger siblings. i just hate how other people continue to treat their kids as second parents.
An 11 year old should not be raising a 9 month old because her mother cares more about food than her own children...most of these people are pretty pathetic...it's one thing to have no respect for yourself...but to then have children and foster your negligence onto them is totally disgraceful...
She is drop-dead gorgeous! She could be a model. I'm so proud that to see that she's on the right track. Unfortunately, she's without her kids, but hopefully with good progress, she'll work really hard to be healthy for them again.
Her situation is very sad, and she certainly deserves support and sympathy. But where are the modeling agencies that are waiting to hire her? We must be realistic.
A model? Just say she has a pretty face and go.
Being morbidly obese is NOT drop dead gorgeous. Wtf you on?
@@sandraatkins2539 exactly lol
Bruh 🤣
It’s so heartbreaking to hear what she had to go through as a child. I hope she achieves her goals and dreams and gets healthy enough to be the mum she wants to be for her beautiful children
Why would you have another baby woman now your oldest daughter is forced to be a mother for YOUR child): very sad I'm a mom I can't imagine having to take that responsibility on at that age! It ain't easy!
That’s my exact question
Uh she didn’t plan on it. Stop criticizing it ain’t your life
Alexandra Moyer right 💯 sometimes things just happen she seems like a good person anyways
Idiots who don’t think birth control exists for a reason, she damn well could control it. She should’ve had an abortion instead of ruining the younger daughters childhood.
@@alexandramoyer8785 it's crazy how you guys are acting like pregnancy isn't preventable lol. She didn't plan on it??? How about be responsible when you know if you have a child you can't properly care for it. Give me a break.
This woman is stunning , I pray she get everything her heart desires .
