Boogie sent me a tweet just over a year ago when I was on about 5k subscribers. Encouraging me saying I was great, I'm now on 100k and I have to say thanks to him. One of my biggest inspirations. Good luck with your battle Boogie! Always supporting you mate. TG
jeasus crist man, you've been through hell and back, im supporting you all the way with this. You can count on me and whole other 3,272,536 people to belive in you. Keep fighting for the life you deserve and youll get it.
you inspire me to become healthier Edit: because people always seem to be confused, I mean that hearing him talk about his struggle with acceptance and self love and self esteem, and knowing that I am going through that everyday, he jnspres me to be better and do better for myself.
as someone who has been and still is suicidal and suffering with severe depression i want to say i love you i watch your video's and they make me laugh when i am depressed and they are just fun to watch I am here with you man
Unchainedboar I'm not here to say that it just gets better with time...... I used to deal with that stuff. And my stepdad recently being diagnosed with cancer hasn't helped. But have you tried Therapists or Lifelines or any of that? I go through that horrible stuff and want to help anyone in anyway I can. I'm here for you even though I don't know you. If you ever just need someone to talk to or something I will be here. :)
Boogie, 3,000,000+ people and I are with you until the end. We will continue to support you to the best of our abilities. Keep doing what makes you happy. Sincerely, 3,000,000+ supporters.
I saw this in my suggested videos, so I'm not a subscriber, but I've heard of your channel before. You're so brave for sharing your story and I'm sorry for all the things you've been through and are still going through. A lot of people don't understand what mental health issues and obsessive compulsive eating is like, how uncontrollable it is. I hope you don't let the ignorant comments get to you. Keep fighting, mate.
Lea Lovett I just want to thank Boogie for making this vid. It moved me and I just want to applaud Boogie for coming out and releasing this video. So thank you.
I know this video is a couple years old. I too have PTSD and chronic pain from spinal stenosis and a few other spinal issues. I get the flashbacks/triggers, depression and crippling anxiety. I've finally went to a doctor to get some pills to sleep, nightmares, auditory hallucinations and night terrors were very common. I started to see a counselor and soon a nutritionist. I was told by my counselor that because I've had long term PTSD that my metabolic system is just messed up. Something to do with cortisol (took my sleep pill an hour ago and it's kicking in, I'm a bit loopy) so I know how much of a struggle it is already, alone with PTSD to eat well and stay motivated when triggers occur. I think it's awesome you keep trying. I also would like to tell you about two things that have helped with my back pain and has given me some freedom back. Not sure if you heard of it but the Quell pain relief device. It seriously works. I also buy fancy shoes (they are not pretty, just help with the back problems) called Kuru shoes. Life changer! Not kidding. I'm nodding off to sleep but yes, saw this video, watched it in its entirety and want you to know, what you did took a lot of courage and also to keep at it. Even some progress is better than no progress at all. zzZZ night.
Boogie, I know this video is a year old, and I know you've heard everything under the sun, and I know that the chances of you seeing this comment is very low, but I need to say this regardless. You are a great person, one of the rare ones that truly are a genuine, kind-hearted individual. You have over 3 million people supporting you, and I know that you have the strength to beat this. I wish you all of the luck in the world my friend.
I agree, boogie you have so many people supporting u, I'm new and I just subscribed but you seem to have been through a lot and to see someone so confident and to come out and say stuff about your life makes a great person who has a lot of courage and determination hope u keep going with your videos because your videos do matter to us, we support u in every step of your life
Razzbowski your a nice and cool person. You Dawko 8 bit gaming and smike are great youtubers I watch your guys videos and so keep on more content on your channel.
My worst fear is one day waking up and seeing youtube videos on my homepage like "UA-camr Boogie2988 is dead" or something like that. You can do it, Boogie. I believe in you.
"I do everything I fucking can...every single day..." As a fellow survivor, man that is exactly how we all feel inside. I carry my service dog (Captain America) with me E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E. To the movies, to the grocery store, to the endless doctors appointments thatll never go away, I am hounded and tortured every day when some ignorant person asks me what my dog is for and blah blah blah, while im just trying to run to the bank. It is hard being a survivor in this world of, just willful ignorance. Im so happy I found this guys page when I was bedridden and couldnt walk, he got me to learn to walk again. His struggle isnt new, we all have our own, and if you havnt, find a community that talks back when you talk outward, that helps immensely. Typing this was a dread because my injuries created a Learning Disorder and I forgot 70 percent of my vocabulary. I taught myself to read in prison and was very proud of the countless books I read. JUST to have someone tell me in passing that they would love to be hit by a car "pay me!" yeah...after the medical bills, youll be lucky to afford a mcdonalds sandwich.
This man right here,you Francis,deserve all the upmost respect.i like how YOU Aren't afraid of the truth,you know that there is only 2 ways that can occur,you can succeed or die trying your best.if you do die trying (which I hope you live a full life)you died one hell of a good death,and for your efforts,you deserve SO MUCH RESPECT THAT IT IS UNDESCRIBABLE!
I love your honesty and openness. You need to continue to exist because other people need to know they are not alone. Stay strong and keep leading. We'll keep following (we'll be forever lost without you!) There are more of us that care - please stay focused and always remember that.
Boogie I hope you see this, to anyone who told you these "serious videos" suck. Fuck them. Man I've had a really bad week. On June 1 2015 at 1135pm, my mom passed. And I didn't get to say good bye cause we were 10 mins too late. Boogie, your videos really speak to me. When I'm sad I'll watch Francis rage and get a good laugh, But when I need a good point, I watch your serious vids. I NEED these type of vids. I was so depressed after my mom passed. She was a good woman. And I wanted to end it all. But a few days later I got the woman of my dreams to say yes, and long story short, for once in my life, I have a woman who cares about me. My fiancée. I'm a very big guy myself. I guess what I'm trying to say is: don't stop these kind of videos, cause I'm sure a lot of us need these videos, but are to scared to ask. Keep up the good work boogie. Your a role model for a lot of us. We love you man.
Found this a year too late. All* I'm going to say is that you're fucking inspirational and the fact you haven't ended yourself prematurely is amazing. Keep on keepin' on, dude.
Francis, I've spent many years as a military Nurse and seen many instances of great personal bravery and courage. After watching this I place you in the top five. Not all soldiers are in uniform. Some fight terrible battles every day on battlefields where nobody sees. Hang in there, hero. I am no one important, but I am praying for you.
You are inspiring.. I like these people from the internet. I know I am only 14, but you have talent.. So does Francis.. I stand by your side hero. God bless you.
You arent alone Boogie, i too have dealt with abuse. My family treated me like i wasnt blood, my father faked his death when he heard my mom was pregnant just to come back when i was 12 to break my leg and leave me out in the woods to die, or make me play russian roulette with myself, my brother molested me and my mom blamed me for what he did despite me not knowing what sex was when i was that age, but enough about me, this is about you, we love you and your content man and no matter how rough things get just know that we are here for you and me, ill be here as long as your channel is up. Dont ever give up, it didnt help me when i overdosed and ive had to live with that mistake my whole life.
You are such a wonderful guy. We all have our struggles, that's what makes us human. Something you might want to give a try is what they call "intermittent fasting", a lot of people report huge progress with it. You basically pick a time frame of when you will consume your calories...so out of a 24 hour day, if you decide you're only going to eat between say 3 and 7pm...you end up fasting the other 20 hours, and if 8 of those are spent sleeping, it helps a lot. The theory is that's how we ate a long time ago anyway since we had to search for food. The nice thing is, you don't feel restricted because you can eat what you want in the hours you pick for your time frame, you still try not to go over a certain caloric intake, but you don't have to be too strict. Anyway, keep up the good fight. You're an awesome person.
nate blumberg That's so good! Great job 😊😊😊. And yep, it works! You don't feel like you're missing out on food because you literally can eat what you want in your time frame.
Timku San I'm sure it is deeper than just eating...you're probably right. Low testosterone, too much estrogen, low thyroid hormones, a predisposition to a certain body type and a problem building muscle mass which basically is a huge part of your metabolism...could definitely be an issue. He mentioned that he has a problem with over eating, so I just thought it could be a different tactic for him to try.
Yeah, I know, but everyone's body is different, and some fitness experts actually suggest muscle can waste away faster if you go to bed on an empty stomach, as that's when your body is most active at making repairs. Your diet is a great one, and it does work, but if his inability to make muscle has anything to do with having some of the ectomorphic body type qualities, this diet may do more harm than good for him, but it's good we commented with our knowledge between the both of us, because he can read our comments, and talk to his doctor making informed decisions. :D Thanks for your inputs!
And I don't speak from an educated point of view? Get off your high horse. You can easily look up intermittent fasting on UA-cam and will find many body builders or even regular people who turned their life around for the better because of it. No dietician is going to recommend it, because, again...they are taught outdated information. Just look at the recommended daily allowance for things like vitamin D...the RDA is well below what has been discovered is actually beneficial. You seem like a know it all. The guy is really struggling so I suggest something that has helped many people...and you have to chime in with some nay saying. Get a grip.
You can do it boogie and we'll be behind you every step of the way. Though there are some differences between you and us, you give us encouragement to stick to something and see it through. And for that I think you're a role model.
The past cannot be changed, but just know that whatever happens, we're here for you. You're a very brave and genuinely down to earth person and just know that you've influenced the life of so many others, and we're thankful for that
I love that this video was uploaded 7 months ago and still gets new comments from people being uplifting and kind. I hope as long as this video exists people continue to post these kind words and be encouraging to Boogie and all those struggling. I thought I had more problems and more pain than one person could comprehend. I thought after 4 unsuccessful suicide attempts nobody could truly understand why I've done what I've done over and over. Then I watched this video and it really is absolutely amazing. My heart goes out to you, Boogie, and to all the people out there taking life one day at a time. No matter how big or small you think your problems are, just know that there are people who care about you and what you're going through. If you read this and you're struggling, know that I care about you even though I don't know who you are and I wish you the absolute best. Never ever stop trying
+Gary B I thought same as you, but one day got pissed off at all that life threw at me since I was a kid, horrible things I don't wish to write here.... and I said to myself that if I could go through all that, survie a war, and spend 10yrs bedridden from an incurable illness (can't get 3rd surgery because it's very expensive) - I'm not gonna kill myself out of sheer fucking principle! I just won't. I may still think about it, but I won't. When times get rough, I play music, or read, or watch a movie, or talk to friends on FB (those are my only friends, real life ones bailed as soon as I got sick). Life is made up out of little things, and if each day I get even one laugh . . . which is doable, even for me in my pathetic state. . . then I'm gonna keep on keeping on, even in neverending constant fucking unbearable pain that makes me want to smash life and everything in it. But suicide wouldn't really hurt me (much), it would hurt and permanently scar all those around me. And surely, even though some are bad at showing it, there are people who love us and who would grieve (maybe never be the same, as my mom or husband, for example). Inflicting pain on me, psh, that's not a big deal... I live with it every day and I've forgotten what it is like to wake up without pain & be able to do even simplest things such as make yourself coffee (others have to bring it to me, same as meals, or I'd starve). But inflicting pain on others, I can and will not do. I don't know what your reasons for the 4 attempts are, but I see some real hurt as part of those reasons, just like I have... even though it probably stems from different sources, but inner pain is inner pain. It can be worse than the physical pain (believe me I know both, I live them both). But please don't do it. If you need to talk, sometimes it's easier to tell stuff to a stranger, msg me. Or find some support in your friends. Or collect tiny bit of happiness in each day (it can be anything, as small as a laugh or as big as making a new friend for life (friend who understands). Psychiatrists & meds don't help me much, and it's laughable how out of control my mental illnesses (big plural) are . . . but one HOUR at a time, I can't even do one day, it's come to hours with me. No platitudes about getting strong here, just DON"T DO IT. After all you've been through, fuck, isn't the time for GOOD stuff to start happening just around the corner somewhere? It must be, I believe in that... even though I have absolutely no reason to. Music & books help me escape into a different world, find something that does that for you, and above all - tell your story without shame to someone you trust, or even to a stranger like me who will listen and possibly help... but at the very least will understand. Sorry for the long post, but these are not kind of things to be said in one-liners. Stay well. And don't forget, my offer stands, even though I much prefer talking via FB than here. Let's share stories, and help each other out? What do you lose, and you might gain a friend, who knows. YOU care about Boogie... I care about YOU... and Boogie, and every person that is going through shit or has been suicidal due to life throwing curveball after curveball without respite at us forever, and each is worse than the previous - until one day we begin to think "fuck it, it's not worth it anymore, I'm checkin' out. But it's selfish and NOT a real way of solving problems. I'd much rather GET BACK AT LIFE and all it has done to me, by NOT giving up... no matter how hard it is each second, of each minute, of each hour, hurting days and sleepless nights.
Ducky Ghouleh I really appreciate your post. And don't worry about the length; I'd much rather have a long read than no replies at all. Honestly, the causes of my pain are pretty widespread so it's hard to pin them down even when trying to sort through my own thoughts. The things that I'm comfortable sharing (since you were kind enough to share some of yours & in case anyone else going through similar problems reads this) are severe anxiety that's kept me from leaving my house for months at a time; OCD with intrusive thoughts that caused me insomnia; emotional and sexual abuse over my life; being stabbed in the back by family and friends; having the only person who ever helped me and understood me tell me they decided they don't love me anymore and leave after a 4 year long relationship; and a host of medical problems such as debilitating eye pain that almost cost me my career. My heart goes out to you for all the things you did and didn't list in your comment because I can't imagine what it must be like to go through so much of that. I'm honestly very lucky that my life is as good as it is in general because I know it could be worse. I definitely didn't list any of those things to garner pity and I know you didn't either in your post. I'm sure you'll share my sentiment that I wanted to give some details in hopes that somebody else out there could find some comfort knowing they aren't alone. Thank you for opening up about your struggles and for the kind offer you gave me. I might take you up on it some time if things get bad again. And know that I extend the same offer to you and anyone else reading this. One thing I've always promised myself is that given the chance, I would never turn down an opportunity to be there for somebody if I could possibly help them. And your outlook of at least fighting to get back at life is a good way to look at it. It really sucks that we can get to a point where we feel that way, but it keeps us fighting nonetheless so it's not all bad. I've always strayed away from using the term 'selfish' to describe suicide as hearing that always made me hate myself more when I was debating, but I do see your point. And I definitely agree that it's something that can and will hurt other people far more than we think. I hope this wasn't too long of a ramble, but reading your words made me want to share some of my own thoughts as well. Again, thank you so much for the offer you made me and the story you told of your own struggles. I sincerely hope things improve for you soon because some of us have definitely suffered enough for one lifetime. As I said in my first post - never ever keep trying. And as long as you're willing, keep sharing your story with people because it really helps others like me. Have an awesome day and take care
+Gary B Thank you, for every word!!! (I used that term, even though I dislike it too, only in the context that it would hurt others). English is not my 1st language + my laptop keyboard is shot, my thoughts disconnected (pain) - so it's very hard to think just now, or write. I'm only able to stare at your post, because it gives me hope in humanity, and your kindness is overwhelming & very nice to hear. I'm glad I posted, even though I'm a huge chickenshit as far as sharing my life publicly (I could NEVER do what Boogie did). Problem is, I have so much to say just now in reply, but I don't have the energy to do it. Literally. (Now I look at the length of this post & laugh at myself. Be prepared for some really disjointed rambling). There are no excuses or self pity in my posts, no lies, just me. I behave same way online as in real life, because this has become my only contact with human beings. And I keep meeting people that have gone through VERY similar things (some of them exactly the same) as we have. There are more of us, but some are like me - afraid or embarrassed to share publicly. I didn't even mention half of my issues because I can't do it publicly, but at least I can these: panic attacks, night terrors, chronic migraines, thyroid issue, fibromyalgia, osteopenia (due to a specific hormonal shot they gave me without explanation at the start of my illness, while it was still undiagnosed - I had to beg for a diagnostic surgery for a full year, but i was lucky, as the average time for diagnosis of Endometriosis - which is what I have & what's causing chronic pelvic pain - is 7 years!! Neither of the 2 surgeries helped, and the 3rd will cost SO much, but I'm gonna try to get it somehow). There is more. So much more. Such bad stuff that I don't have the courage to share it publicly, but you have mentioned certain things in your last post that have happened to me also. At least you still have a career. I lost mine (civil engineering), and a baby, and real life friends, and everything in life except husband and mom (who's 78, I'm 39). I watched my life crashing about me since I was 29, and wondered why I ever survived that war, why was this happening - just when I made something of myself, having come to this country and started working at 17, fought SO damn hard to get a decent life (not luxurious by any means). I don't think I deserved it, and I'm not religious to say things like "God never gives us more than we can carry". That's bull, to me it did. Apology to all religious people out there, I do respect all religions (as long as they're not being shoved at me constantly). As Ozzy says in one song: "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired". Your post was not rambly as this one is, that's for sure. I originally just wanted to write this upcoming paragraph, as I'm really having a bad day. But sometimes words (even detached & "jump from unrelated topic to another" ones) just pour out, straight from the heart. I can't help it. So here goes: I'm not able to add you in my G+ circles (still figuring the new G+) but, sound as weird as this may, thing is - I don't want to lose contact with you. So please, add me somewhere. My email is ....... and FB ....... (I will edit post to delete this info, as soon as you give me a nod that you've gotten them). If you don't want to, it's cool and absolutely no hard feelings or offense here... but at least write them down somewhere, as I may not be on UA-cam for months at a time, so wouldn't catch a post written here. Btw I was a big gamer too (one of my addictions) and would like to talk to you about that too sometime (as I see you have a Skyrim video, I've never tried it... D2 & older games lik AOE, etc were my drug, lol).... but in recent years I buy the game but never open it :( Again - lack of energy, no sleep which combined with constant pain produces lack of concentration, disconnected thoughts, anger / bitchiness... plus the fact that some of my meds delete parts of my memory. Sometimes I lose entire days or weeks, just as if they were deleted or never happened. If you can recommend a game or two (no war games please, had enough of shooting in real life to jump at every backfiring car or 4th of July firework)...maybe some music also, you'd help me a lot. I don't even know how to end all this incoherence, lol... except to wish you much better days ahead & REAL happiness in your future. I think it's waiting for us, somewhere behind the bend in our ugly roads. That's holding me up, somehow. Nothing lasts forever, and things can turn around in a second. If they can do that for the worse, like someone dropping dead out of the blue - surely they can go in the other direction also, towards happier times. We deserve some of those. Hugs from California wine country, wherever you are!
Ducky Ghouleh I wrote down your information and I'll add you on facebook soon so you can delete the info from your comment. Your English is very good as well. You use it as well as most native speakers on the internet so no worries there. I'm really sorry to hear about the losses you've had in your life but it's good to know you still have your husband and mom. And one of my family members struggled with Endometriosis for many years so I know that's a really difficult thing as well. The internet has a lot of bad aspects but it's amazing how it can bring so many people together at the same time. It gives people who are struggling an outlet and a way to connect with others who have issues similar to our own. And don't feel like a coward for not sharing more details of your life. You've shared a lot already and that takes a lot of courage. Again, I know that I'm truly lucky not to have a more difficult road than I have but I do know how frustrating medical problems can be. I can't imagine the torment you go through but it's inspiring that you keep going. There are a lot of people who have given up for a lot less so I tip my hat to you. Gaming has pulled me through a lot in my life and it's one of the greatest forms of therapy I've ever had. I'll be glad to talk more about games/music, etc. as well so I'll be sure to add you on FB soon. Your comment wasn't rambling so don't fret about that either. I agree with you 100% - if things can get so bad so quickly, surely they can get better as well. I suppose that's the key to making it through difficult times and I wish you the best & better days as well. Finding that thread of hope the grab onto is extremely difficult, but even a thread is better than nothing
+Alma Ducky - Ghouleh Bardette Steven, Alma, Gary, And for anyone who is reading this...You don't know me, I don't know you, but in all honesty, I hope you are in a better state of mind than when you were 2 weeks ago. Is such a beautiful thing to see how long Steven aka Boogie has come over the past years. And see that people care, and even relate to the hardships of life. And for me to come here and read the comments, and see you Gary and you Alma and all other people here, helping each other.... I just wished more people would be like this.. and then the world would be a better place. Alma, it is really good that you are not alone, and that your husband supports you and is there when you need it the most. And I hope your mother is doing well also. Often in struggles like the ones you wrote, people tend to ignore you, or help you at first then get tired ... and sometimes leave you when you need them the most... I was in the past in a place like that... So.. glad you are not alone. Gary, hope you are seeing this too, and you doing ok. Please keep the fighting on, with life, and don't go in that dark place you were 4 times in the past. I'm talking about the suicide attempts. And if you find yourself there again, just come back here and reply to my comment, or talk with Alma as I see you two are on FB now, or with anyone else. I hope i didn't come as a obnoxious being for writing all the things I wrote... I speak from some bad experiences in my life, with a dysfunctional family, health problems, dark places when I wanted all to end, bad friends, long 7 years relation with someone who just one day left, work problems, and so on... I;m in a better place now that I was a year ago, but sometimes... the feelings.. just come back... I don;t know what got over me... saw some videos today in the same tone as the one on here... and when i started to read the comments, i don;t know... I stopped here, and really wanted to say the things I just said. I hope my english is okay and that I didn't offend someone. Stay strong and be safe! PS. I can recommend a game. It is a indie game. Unravel is the name. The creator is such a genuine person and the team also, from what I saw in some presentations and interviews. Search for a trailer. Hope it helps.
Easily one of the most touching and honest videos on YT I've ever seen. I fucking love you man, that took a lot of courage. You absolutely didn't have to, but thanks for sharing. I know you can do this Boogie. Sure, you're bound to have some slip ups, but you will get there in the end if you try to stay positive! Don't be too hard on yourself if you mess up once or twice. A lot of people (including me) would miss you! You are one of the kindest, most honest and funny people on YT. I hope you can beat your demons or at least be able to live with them. Sure, there will always be haters. But the overwhelming majority adores you man! Much love and strength!
This 100%. There is not a kinder and more sincere person on UA-cam. Keep being you and dig deep man. You have overcome a lot. Keep fighting the good fight and stay in there. We cannot lose you bud. Much love.
i just wanted to say that ive been a follower for a little bit now and your reaction to the 300 pound in 15 months video as well as this one had really inspired me. I never commented because i know how many comments you get per day and didn't think it would ever be seen for you to know just what you did for me. This year, i was 265 pounds at 5'11''. over the following 7-8 months, ive now been able to get down to 175 and have plans to go to about 165. I just really wanted to say thankyou for everything you post on here about your struggle because you INSPIRE. Dont you every forget that. It's possible my friend, especially with all of the love and support you have on here and give to others. Please look to us, or your wife, or anyone that will support you because we will all be here for your transformation, no matter how long. Stay strong. Thank-you again
I know it's a bit of an old video but I ended up here while watching some of your other content since i'm a fairly new follower. I could fairly easily fill the comment box with my story about the crap I've been through and had to overcome but I will say the positive path i'm currently plowing along has just got a lot wider and clearer after hearing your story. You're a good soul Boogie, thanks for inspirational boost.
This guy is a man. He is an inspiration. We think about when we were kids not getting the toy we wanted. He was beat for nothing. He almost never got what he wanted. Most people would have given up but not him. He's had so much but he's still going strong and I love that. I'm gonna get off my lazy ass and do it and I've said that all my life but now I'll do it for real. Thank you so much for this video Steven. You inspired me to get up and do something with myself. I really hope you read this. I believe in you
+Benjamin Benitez WOW if this guy can do it i can too! im in my latter 30's and NOT in a great state of health. im not nearly as large but i have ungodly high BP and an an alcoholic....not a good mix.
This had me tearing up. Literally, whenever im sad or angry i always watch your videos and they make me laugh sf hard, never gets old. Your such a strong guy, i defiantly respect you for that. As long as you keep fighting and keep trying, ull make it. Chin up, homie, we all love you and support you!
Keep on pushing on boogie you will figure it out please you make me laugh and cry and you inspire me please keep trying your my favorite UA-camr😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😄😄😄😅😅😅
10+ pounds a month is very good. You don't want to lose too much too quickly for many reasons. if you can lose 10 pounds a month, in a couple years you will find yourself very happy about where you are. Time flies by.
We all have aches and pains, mental issues, whatever the doc says, regardless of how heavy, Boogie. Some, like myself need stern criticism, tough love, and be told to push, others need someone to have a shoulder to cry on and a good morale boost. You gotta do you, Boogie, no matter your methods, you gotta stay strong and look at the end goal, and any small victory is a victory. Good on you for getting better and hopefully you can get to where you need to be. You've got support dude, don't let a step backwards trip you, get back up brotha!
Keep fighting. You're gonna make the hall of fame, champion. I'm proud of you. The community is proud of you. Victory is a long road, but every journey is accomplished with actions.
just know every soda you decline, every candy bar you wave away, or every pound, half pound, quarter pound you lose is a victory. The end reward is worth it
+TheBraveGoat This is bullshit advice. At his size, it will take him 10 years if he follows what you're saying. One pound or half a pound is not a victory. This is one of those moments where you're trying to be helpful but you're doing the opposite.
+Jaze Cinema So there's no coming back? As if. Every time he does something that helps his body, it's a victory. You sad, little people who try to make him feel as though there's nothing left are despicable. He fights harder than you ever will, every single day. So shut your stupid, little mouth. Boogie is a true champion. Don't you dare try and take that away from him.
***** I know what he said and you can see what I said. Thanks. I'm guessing both of you have been following him for a while. In that time, he has been on Supersize vs. Superskinny, he has multiple support from his subscribers... you would think this would help him. He is seriously ill and has zero self control. Even on the show he ate something over 1000 calories for ONE meal. When, the max he should eat is 2000. You guys think you're being supportive but you're not, at least not in the long run. I've worked with people his size with all sorts of personalities. Anyways, like I told him... good luck to you.
i know this is a old video, but i really feel for you. you’ve been through so much shit and hearing you talk about your story and struggles is a big inspiration. thank you.
I'm Just one of the millions of people who care about you man! I know you can do it the most important thing is you keep moving forward no matter what and you'll achieve your goals
Man I never knew this about you, I just watched all of your emotional videos and I have not stopped crying. I hope you are and stay happy no matter what. Never stop doing what you are doing and thank you.
***** He has a neck, hasn't he? Just throw your arms around that. And you really don't need to go all the way around in order for it to be a hug. That's just a skinny bitch hug. Might as well go outside and hug a lamppost.
Mr. Boogie, you are not alone. Many of us fight these demons constantly. I do find this video you made very encouraging. You are couragous to face wall and punch through it. I hope you are doing ok since you made this video. Thank you for letting us know that we are not alone and there are others out there who understand.
Your mannerism, gentleness, gaming talk and humour is the reason why I subscribed to you. Keep doing what you're doing now as everything you do makes all of our days brighter, and don't change~
Senpai oh my gat these ppl here dont know what i mean when i add "just a bad joke" meaning that it was a joke. Ill just get outta here this section is not 4 me
Dear Boogie, I'm only 3 mins into this video, only just discovered you, and I've shed tears already and I feel love for you and I'm subscribing. I'm a victim of childhood abuse as are many people close to me and I've struggled with addiction, especially overeating, and so much of what you say resonates. I'm really looking forward to catching up on your content. A hug for you bro!
Boogie towards the end you said "I don't speak publicly about it because there's not much progress to report" mate, you're still here and that's progress! You're still trying and that's progress! You're talking about it and that's progress! You've been through hell and you're still here fighting where weaker people would fall and pass away... Don't put yourself down you're an amazing person that makes thousands of people happy! Now it's your time to be happy dude! Focus on you and your wife being as happy as possible and keep fighting! Everyone has times where we just give in and stop fighting, you've just gotta get back up and kick your own Ass into fighting again because you know deep down you can accomplish your goals and we all believe in you! Stay awesome, stay with us and never give up.
Scratch that... You have MILLIONS of people who love you :) maybe motivation could come from doing short vlog clips of your day when your doing your exercise? I k is you might not want to share those times but think of it as a video progress diary where all your loving friends here can cheer you on video by video. Just a thought that could help with motivation :)
I very rarely comment on UA-cam videos, but this was one of the most moving videos I've ever watched. You seem like a genuine person, and that's good enough for me. Best wishes.
I owe you an apology Mr. Boogie ( you deserve my respect ) I came across one of your videos and had no idea who you are or what you are about. When I saw your character. ( didn't know Francis wasn't real) I didn't like him and I wrote nasty remarks and went on my way. After a time I've come across this video and now I know what an asshole I was/am/ can be. I am so sorry for not even taking just a minute to realize even if Francis was real I'm asshole for being nasty. Again I am so sorry and you've taught me very valuable lesson. Good luck to you and your wife.
It's all too easy to allow the anonymity of the internet, and the lack of knowing who someone really is, deride our better judgment. But it takes strength of character to not only admit when you were wrong but to then reach out and directly, publicly apologize. I watched this video and then went to the comments, bracing myself to see all "the sh*tty people coming out of the woodwork" Boogie mentioned in his video. But the first comment I saw was yours. And it amazed me. I really hope Boogie sees this and responds back to you. Well done.
Something that I know is very inspirational to me is that you have a wife, Francis. A wife that loves you and cares for who you are, despite the fact that you're different from the rest. You've taught me that just because you're different, it certainly doesn't mean that nobody loves you. And it certainly doesn't mean that you will never find a person that does love you for who you are. Ever since I became a teenager, I thought that no girl would ever like me because I have ADHD, Clinical Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and other various conditions. But you made me realize that I can still be loved by someone who likes and accepts me for who I am. And because of this, as of today, I've been with the love of my life for exactly 5 months now and never before have I been so happy in my entire life. Thank you, Boogie :-)
+SkitsOlemonz Thank you for being strong enough to share your story with us. Steve, not Francis, by the way. Francis is a character he plays. Just so you know ;)
I gave you a hard time a while back, but having seen this I want to apologize. The amount of courage it takes to open up and admit ones faults is immense. Be proud of who you are, not how you are. You're a good man, with a good heart. Keep up the amazing work.
I cant understand why you would ever have wanted to give him a hard time, but credit to you for being able to backtrack. A lot of ppl arent big enough to change their mind\admit they were wrong.
***** What are you talking about? I agreed that he was not the only one that wished to jump through the screen & hug Boogie.... because I had the same feeling.
Boogie listen we all love You for who U truly are, I suffer with depression and it is not easy! I truly understand the way mental health can drain someone, My mother always tells me "U can!" Always remember this no matter what U are going through always remember U can get through this. The Lord is always with Us and will continue to help us please don't feel as though U are worthless as U are an entertainer and a loving and inspirational man please remover how much U fly the flag for other people's struggles and how much U motivate me and others to conquer our hardest times. Much love boogie man xxxx
11:56 "Either I will succeed, or I will die trying" keep it up man, this video is super inspirational, you are a strong human being and we need more people like you
The pain he is going through is immeasurable but he is strong and I know he'll pull through. I've only just found out about him and he has already inspired me
Boogie, Don't think that the haters are right, you can do anything, Your a wonderful, Hansome, AWESOME, and your the best youtuber. Think of the bright side, When you're upset, remember that we are here for you, were here to comfort you, were here to support you, we all love you, you're worth everything! If you were going to quit youtube, all 3,873912 ( and more ) would come to your house and hug you and tell you to never quit. Your the best youtuber
dude i cant even begin to imagine the pain u have been thru. but i can already tell u are so much stronger then so many other people in this world. the progress u have made so far is incredible! i can see u going so much further in life then what u already are at. u are so inspirational. but u definately have NO REASON to apologize for anything. what happened was nothing u could avoid. stay strong dude
I rarely stop by your channel. But this video really inspired me. I wish you the best man. I really do. Thanks for never giving up. That's something I admire.
Wow, what an amazing story, never give up man. Hopefully you will succeed and not die, because that would be bad for everyone on your channel and your family.
Boogie I can relate to you man. 2 Years ago I was 6'6 245 lbs. Really Athletic. I herniated a disc and Ive been bedridden for the past year. Right now I weigh 300 lbs. I just finally had back surgery 12 days ago. I try to eat right and walk a little everyday but I fail all the time. I want to start vlogging my journey and your videos are so inspirational. You are a gem of a human being and I am glad I found your channel. Keep your head up
My grandmother, who just passed away one month ago, had many, many, many of the same problems you've mentioned. She knew pain. Clubbed with tree branches, had most of her leg break through in an accident, had 12 major surgeries for varying reasons, diabetes and many other issues. When she passed, she was around 250, but I can tell you that, despite all the pain and agony. she was 250 lbs of love. I may not know your pain first-hand, but I do understand your pain.
***** I didn't say that. Not even remotely. I said that his problems were due to preexisting medical issues, much like my grandmother's was, and since I had to take care of her for many of her later year, I know what she went through, therefore I know what he's going through.
+CC-3636 ur correct but people in the world are harsh its unfair but one thing this man does is not give a fucking shit best way of getting around problems like that indeed.
+Steve There's different way's to be beautiful? And yes, Boogie is the best example, that i know, being a beautiful person. Maybe he's the best example, to BE known.
Im seeing this 3 years later, but, I must say, thank you Boogie for everything. I know your surgery will go well and your life will turn completely around. We believe in you, and we are infinitely grateful.

Boogie sent me a tweet just over a year ago when I was on about 5k subscribers. Encouraging me saying I was great, I'm now on 100k and I have to say thanks to him. One of my biggest inspirations. Good luck with your battle Boogie! Always supporting you mate. TG
Great to hear the support from another UA-camr I watch, this is what a thriving community should be like, supportive and engaging.
Get in there!!

I'm not a gigantic fan of your Francis stuff. But man, this real shit you put out is exactly why I'm a subscriber.
same.
Exact same as me.
pbmdh me too bro
pbmdh his real name is Steve his Francis name is just a character he pretends to be for satirical videos
pbmdh me too bro
Its crazy how many positive comments there are back then compared to his comments now.
Textbook example of how to completely ruin your career.
He's so manipulative in all his old videos.
Due to the prospective, we have now, it's so apparent and hard to watch
Shit. As someone who only really watches your videos off and on, I had no idea you you've had such a difficult life. You're a goddamn warrior.
Sam S He told everything in his draw my life
Sam S life is hard man. nobody can know someone's troubles, so to sound like a hippy: we should just be fucking nicer to each other.

you inspire me to become healthier
Edit: because people always seem to be confused, I mean that hearing him talk about his struggle with acceptance and self love and self esteem, and knowing that I am going through that everyday, he jnspres me to be better and do better for myself.
kimberley williams that’s kind of rude
JD04 Boogies trying to help inspire people so I don’t see how it’s rude
JD04 you're to sensitive
kimberley williams was also in his
I read you inspire me to become hitler
as someone who has been and still is suicidal and suffering with severe depression i want to say i love you
i watch your video's and they make me laugh when i am depressed and they are just fun to watch
I am here with you man
Unchainedboar I'm not here to say that it just gets better with time...... I used to deal with that stuff. And my stepdad recently being diagnosed with cancer hasn't helped. But have you tried Therapists or Lifelines or any of that? I go through that horrible stuff and want to help anyone in anyway I can. I'm here for you even though I don't know you. If you ever just need someone to talk to or something I will be here. :)
i have looked into therapy but its just so damned expensive, and i cant afford it

I saw this in my suggested videos, so I'm not a subscriber, but I've heard of your channel before. You're so brave for sharing your story and I'm sorry for all the things you've been through and are still going through. A lot of people don't understand what mental health issues and obsessive compulsive eating is like, how uncontrollable it is. I hope you don't let the ignorant comments get to you. Keep fighting, mate.
Lea Lovett A-fucking-men.
Pink Squid Kid lets not be sexist, a-fucking-woman
Lea Lovett I just want to thank Boogie for making this vid. It moved me and I just want to applaud Boogie for coming out and releasing this video. So thank you.
Yes
yarM oh boy
I know this video is a couple years old. I too have PTSD and chronic pain from spinal stenosis and a few other spinal issues. I get the flashbacks/triggers, depression and crippling anxiety. I've finally went to a doctor to get some pills to sleep, nightmares, auditory hallucinations and night terrors were very common. I started to see a counselor and soon a nutritionist. I was told by my counselor that because I've had long term PTSD that my metabolic system is just messed up. Something to do with cortisol (took my sleep pill an hour ago and it's kicking in, I'm a bit loopy) so I know how much of a struggle it is already, alone with PTSD to eat well and stay motivated when triggers occur. I think it's awesome you keep trying. I also would like to tell you about two things that have helped with my back pain and has given me some freedom back. Not sure if you heard of it but the Quell pain relief device. It seriously works. I also buy fancy shoes (they are not pretty, just help with the back problems) called Kuru shoes. Life changer! Not kidding. I'm nodding off to sleep but yes, saw this video, watched it in its entirety and want you to know, what you did took a lot of courage and also to keep at it. Even some progress is better than no progress at all. zzZZ night.
Jesus
Boogie, I know this video is a year old, and I know you've heard everything under the sun, and I know that the chances of you seeing this comment is very low, but I need to say this regardless.
You are a great person, one of the rare ones that truly are a genuine, kind-hearted individual. You have over 3 million people supporting you, and I know that you have the strength to beat this.
I wish you all of the luck in the world my friend.
Well said Grohlvana! We love him and his channel!
Yep! Well said man! :D
amen to that#respectboogie
Agree with u completely dude.
I agree, boogie you have so many people supporting u, I'm new and I just subscribed but you seem to have been through a lot and to see someone so confident and to come out and say stuff about your life makes a great person who has a lot of courage and determination hope u keep going with your videos because your videos do matter to us, we support u in every step of your life
You are so brave and an inspiration mate. Keep on fighting you deserve a long and happy life.

My worst fear is one day waking up and seeing youtube videos on my homepage like "UA-camr Boogie2988 is dead" or something like that. You can do it, Boogie. I believe in you.
BilboBaggins69 _ Fuck off why would say shit like that?
BilboBaggins69 _ You're a psychopath
Steve Stevensteverson hehehhehe
BilboBaggins69 _ I reported you
BilboBaggins69 _ whats your actual reason? why does he need to die?
"I do everything I fucking can...every single day..."
As a fellow survivor, man that is exactly how we all feel inside.
I carry my service dog (Captain America) with me E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E. To the movies, to the grocery store, to the endless doctors appointments thatll never go away, I am hounded and tortured every day when some ignorant person asks me what my dog is for and blah blah blah, while im just trying to run to the bank. It is hard being a survivor in this world of, just willful ignorance. Im so happy I found this guys page when I was bedridden and couldnt walk, he got me to learn to walk again. His struggle isnt new, we all have our own, and if you havnt, find a community that talks back when you talk outward, that helps immensely.
Typing this was a dread because my injuries created a Learning Disorder and I forgot 70 percent of my vocabulary. I taught myself to read in prison and was very proud of the countless books I read. JUST to have someone tell me in passing that they would love to be hit by a car "pay me!" yeah...after the medical bills, youll be lucky to afford a mcdonalds sandwich.
Omg all that hard work for only 24 likes
Hey man, how you doing now? Hope you’re doing good 👍
This is the second video of yours I've ever seen and lemme just say: You're a fucking astounding human being. You're badass dude.

Always come back to this video because it inspires and puts in perspective a lot of things, Thank you boog
Hey soclosetotoast I love your vids
agreed buddy
agreed
True
I totally agree with you
I love your honesty and openness. You need to continue to exist because other people need to know they are not alone. Stay strong and keep leading. We'll keep following (we'll be forever lost without you!) There are more of us that care - please stay focused and always remember that.
Boogie I hope you see this, to anyone who told you these "serious videos" suck. Fuck them. Man I've had a really bad week. On June 1 2015 at 1135pm, my mom passed. And I didn't get to say good bye cause we were 10 mins too late. Boogie, your videos really speak to me. When I'm sad I'll watch Francis rage and get a good laugh, But when I need a good point, I watch your serious vids. I NEED these type of vids. I was so depressed after my mom passed. She was a good woman. And I wanted to end it all. But a few days later I got the woman of my dreams to say yes, and long story short, for once in my life, I have a woman who cares about me. My fiancée. I'm a very big guy myself. I guess what I'm trying to say is: don't stop these kind of videos, cause I'm sure a lot of us need these videos, but are to scared to ask. Keep up the good work boogie. Your a role model for a lot of us. We love you man.
I'm really sorry for your lost my friend. I wish you the very best.
Regards from Brazil!
Paulo Souza thank you my friend, means a lot.
Very sorry for your loss, but good luck with your fiancée!
Sorry for your loss man, good luck for the rest of your life! You can do it

John Conner I agree
Francis, I've spent many years as a military Nurse and seen many instances of great personal bravery and courage. After watching this I place you in the top five. Not all soldiers are in uniform. Some fight terrible battles every day on battlefields where nobody sees. Hang in there, hero. I am no one important, but I am praying for you.
I like people like you the Internet. The Internet is a place of assholes but there's people like you that make things better.
You are inspiring.. I like these people from the internet. I know I am only 14, but you have talent.. So does Francis.. I stand by your side hero. God bless you.
militzry nurce , well that is pretty important...
He's Not Francis he's Steve
you are someone important and those were beautiful words
Don't give yourself two options, give yourself 1 option. To succeed.

Ha that's smart
I agree
You have earned my subscribe
You arent alone Boogie, i too have dealt with abuse. My family treated me like i wasnt blood, my father faked his death when he heard my mom was pregnant just to come back when i was 12 to break my leg and leave me out in the woods to die, or make me play russian roulette with myself, my brother molested me and my mom blamed me for what he did despite me not knowing what sex was when i was that age, but enough about me, this is about you, we love you and your content man and no matter how rough things get just know that we are here for you and me, ill be here as long as your channel is up. Dont ever give up, it didnt help me when i overdosed and ive had to live with that mistake my whole life.
You are such a wonderful guy. We all have our struggles, that's what makes us human. Something you might want to give a try is what they call "intermittent fasting", a lot of people report huge progress with it. You basically pick a time frame of when you will consume your calories...so out of a 24 hour day, if you decide you're only going to eat between say 3 and 7pm...you end up fasting the other 20 hours, and if 8 of those are spent sleeping, it helps a lot. The theory is that's how we ate a long time ago anyway since we had to search for food. The nice thing is, you don't feel restricted because you can eat what you want in the hours you pick for your time frame, you still try not to go over a certain caloric intake, but you don't have to be too strict. Anyway, keep up the good fight. You're an awesome person.
Erin Vandalay I really works I didn't and lost 250 pounds
nate blumberg That's so good! Great job 😊😊😊. And yep, it works! You don't feel like you're missing out on food because you literally can eat what you want in your time frame.
Timku San I'm sure it is deeper than just eating...you're probably right. Low testosterone, too much estrogen, low thyroid hormones, a predisposition to a certain body type and a problem building muscle mass which basically is a huge part of your metabolism...could definitely be an issue. He mentioned that he has a problem with over eating, so I just thought it could be a different tactic for him to try.
Yeah, I know, but everyone's body is different, and some fitness experts actually suggest muscle can waste away faster if you go to bed on an empty stomach, as that's when your body is most active at making repairs. Your diet is a great one, and it does work, but if his inability to make muscle has anything to do with having some of the ectomorphic body type qualities, this diet may do more harm than good for him, but it's good we commented with our knowledge between the both of us, because he can read our comments, and talk to his doctor making informed decisions. :D Thanks for your inputs!
And I don't speak from an educated point of view? Get off your high horse. You can easily look up intermittent fasting on UA-cam and will find many body builders or even regular people who turned their life around for the better because of it. No dietician is going to recommend it, because, again...they are taught outdated information. Just look at the recommended daily allowance for things like vitamin D...the RDA is well below what has been discovered is actually beneficial. You seem like a know it all. The guy is really struggling so I suggest something that has helped many people...and you have to chime in with some nay saying. Get a grip.
You can do it boogie and we'll be behind you every step of the way. Though there are some differences between you and us, you give us encouragement to stick to something and see it through. And for that I think you're a role model.
Olivia Wonka I can definitely agree with this.
Thank you Candy Man and *****
Agreed. He is an inspiration for all the things he's been through and still around. Like the say, "What doesn't kill us, will only make us stronger."
YESSS I agree so much
Olivia Wonka Indeed! He is a big role model.
The past cannot be changed, but just know that whatever happens, we're here for you. You're a very brave and genuinely down to earth person and just know that you've influenced the life of so many others, and we're thankful for that

+Amy Thompson Can't wait until boogie gets down to 15% bodyfat so I can school him on how to lift and be a gym bro,get him fuckin shredded brah
TWITTED MY FUCKING...TIPPLES!!!
AND MY BALLS AND MY DICK!!!
I love that this video was uploaded 7 months ago and still gets new comments from people being uplifting and kind. I hope as long as this video exists people continue to post these kind words and be encouraging to Boogie and all those struggling. I thought I had more problems and more pain than one person could comprehend. I thought after 4 unsuccessful suicide attempts nobody could truly understand why I've done what I've done over and over. Then I watched this video and it really is absolutely amazing. My heart goes out to you, Boogie, and to all the people out there taking life one day at a time. No matter how big or small you think your problems are, just know that there are people who care about you and what you're going through. If you read this and you're struggling, know that I care about you even though I don't know who you are and I wish you the absolute best. Never ever stop trying
+Gary B
I thought same as you, but one day got pissed off at all that life threw at me since I was a kid, horrible things I don't wish to write here.... and I said to myself that if I could go through all that, survie a war, and spend 10yrs bedridden from an incurable illness (can't get 3rd surgery because it's very expensive) - I'm not gonna kill myself out of sheer fucking principle! I just won't. I may still think about it, but I won't. When times get rough, I play music, or read, or watch a movie, or talk to friends on FB (those are my only friends, real life ones bailed as soon as I got sick). Life is made up out of little things, and if each day I get even one laugh . . . which is doable, even for me in my pathetic state. . . then I'm gonna keep on keeping on, even in neverending constant fucking unbearable pain that makes me want to smash life and everything in it. But suicide wouldn't really hurt me (much), it would hurt and permanently scar all those around me. And surely, even though some are bad at showing it, there are people who love us and who would grieve (maybe never be the same, as my mom or husband, for example). Inflicting pain on me, psh, that's not a big deal... I live with it every day and I've forgotten what it is like to wake up without pain & be able to do even simplest things such as make yourself coffee (others have to bring it to me, same as meals, or I'd starve). But inflicting pain on others, I can and will not do.
I don't know what your reasons for the 4 attempts are, but I see some real hurt as part of those reasons, just like I have... even though it probably stems from different sources, but inner pain is inner pain. It can be worse than the physical pain (believe me I know both, I live them both). But please don't do it. If you need to talk, sometimes it's easier to tell stuff to a stranger, msg me. Or find some support in your friends. Or collect tiny bit of happiness in each day (it can be anything, as small as a laugh or as big as making a new friend for life (friend who understands). Psychiatrists & meds don't help me much, and it's laughable how out of control my mental illnesses (big plural) are . . . but one HOUR at a time, I can't even do one day, it's come to hours with me. No platitudes about getting strong here, just DON"T DO IT. After all you've been through, fuck, isn't the time for GOOD stuff to start happening just around the corner somewhere? It must be, I believe in that... even though I have absolutely no reason to. Music & books help me escape into a different world, find something that does that for you, and above all - tell your story without shame to someone you trust, or even to a stranger like me who will listen and possibly help... but at the very least will understand.
Sorry for the long post, but these are not kind of things to be said in one-liners. Stay well. And don't forget, my offer stands, even though I much prefer talking via FB than here. Let's share stories, and help each other out? What do you lose, and you might gain a friend, who knows. YOU care about Boogie... I care about YOU... and Boogie, and every person that is going through shit or has been suicidal due to life throwing curveball after curveball without respite at us forever, and each is worse than the previous - until one day we begin to think "fuck it, it's not worth it anymore, I'm checkin' out. But it's selfish and NOT a real way of solving problems. I'd much rather GET BACK AT LIFE and all it has done to me, by NOT giving up... no matter how hard it is each second, of each minute, of each hour, hurting days and sleepless nights.
Ducky Ghouleh
I really appreciate your post. And don't worry about the length; I'd much rather have a long read than no replies at all. Honestly, the causes of my pain are pretty widespread so it's hard to pin them down even when trying to sort through my own thoughts. The things that I'm comfortable sharing (since you were kind enough to share some of yours & in case anyone else going through similar problems reads this) are severe anxiety that's kept me from leaving my house for months at a time; OCD with intrusive thoughts that caused me insomnia; emotional and sexual abuse over my life; being stabbed in the back by family and friends; having the only person who ever helped me and understood me tell me they decided they don't love me anymore and leave after a 4 year long relationship; and a host of medical problems such as debilitating eye pain that almost cost me my career.
My heart goes out to you for all the things you did and didn't list in your comment because I can't imagine what it must be like to go through so much of that. I'm honestly very lucky that my life is as good as it is in general because I know it could be worse. I definitely didn't list any of those things to garner pity and I know you didn't either in your post. I'm sure you'll share my sentiment that I wanted to give some details in hopes that somebody else out there could find some comfort knowing they aren't alone. Thank you for opening up about your struggles and for the kind offer you gave me. I might take you up on it some time if things get bad again. And know that I extend the same offer to you and anyone else reading this. One thing I've always promised myself is that given the chance, I would never turn down an opportunity to be there for somebody if I could possibly help them. And your outlook of at least fighting to get back at life is a good way to look at it. It really sucks that we can get to a point where we feel that way, but it keeps us fighting nonetheless so it's not all bad. I've always strayed away from using the term 'selfish' to describe suicide as hearing that always made me hate myself more when I was debating, but I do see your point. And I definitely agree that it's something that can and will hurt other people far more than we think.
I hope this wasn't too long of a ramble, but reading your words made me want to share some of my own thoughts as well. Again, thank you so much for the offer you made me and the story you told of your own struggles. I sincerely hope things improve for you soon because some of us have definitely suffered enough for one lifetime. As I said in my first post - never ever keep trying. And as long as you're willing, keep sharing your story with people because it really helps others like me. Have an awesome day and take care
+Gary B
Thank you, for every word!!! (I used that term, even though I dislike it too, only in the context that it would hurt others). English is not my 1st language + my laptop keyboard is shot, my thoughts disconnected (pain) - so it's very hard to think just now, or write. I'm only able to stare at your post, because it gives me hope in humanity, and your kindness is overwhelming & very nice to hear. I'm glad I posted, even though I'm a huge chickenshit as far as sharing my life publicly (I could NEVER do what Boogie did).
Problem is, I have so much to say just now in reply, but I don't have the energy to do it. Literally. (Now I look at the length of this post & laugh at myself. Be prepared for some really disjointed rambling).
There are no excuses or self pity in my posts, no lies, just me. I behave same way online as in real life, because this has become my only contact with human beings. And I keep meeting people that have gone through VERY similar things (some of them exactly the same) as we have. There are more of us, but some are like me - afraid or embarrassed to share publicly. I didn't even mention half of my issues because I can't do it publicly, but at least I can these: panic attacks, night terrors, chronic migraines, thyroid issue, fibromyalgia, osteopenia (due to a specific hormonal shot they gave me without explanation at the start of my illness, while it was still undiagnosed - I had to beg for a diagnostic surgery for a full year, but i was lucky, as the average time for diagnosis of Endometriosis - which is what I have & what's causing chronic pelvic pain - is 7 years!! Neither of the 2 surgeries helped, and the 3rd will cost SO much, but I'm gonna try to get it somehow). There is more. So much more. Such bad stuff that I don't have the courage to share it publicly, but you have mentioned certain things in your last post that have happened to me also.
At least you still have a career. I lost mine (civil engineering), and a baby, and real life friends, and everything in life except husband and mom (who's 78, I'm 39). I watched my life crashing about me since I was 29, and wondered why I ever survived that war, why was this happening - just when I made something of myself, having come to this country and started working at 17, fought SO damn hard to get a decent life (not luxurious by any means). I don't think I deserved it, and I'm not religious to say things like "God never gives us more than we can carry". That's bull, to me it did. Apology to all religious people out there, I do respect all religions (as long as they're not being shoved at me constantly).
As Ozzy says in one song: "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired".
Your post was not rambly as this one is, that's for sure. I originally just wanted to write this upcoming paragraph, as I'm really having a bad day. But sometimes words (even detached & "jump from unrelated topic to another" ones) just pour out, straight from the heart. I can't help it.
So here goes: I'm not able to add you in my G+ circles (still figuring the new G+) but, sound as weird as this may, thing is - I don't want to lose contact with you. So please, add me somewhere. My email is ....... and FB ....... (I will edit post to delete this info, as soon as you give me a nod that you've gotten them).
If you don't want to, it's cool and absolutely no hard feelings or offense here... but at least write them down somewhere, as I may not be on UA-cam for months at a time, so wouldn't catch a post written here. Btw I was a big gamer too (one of my addictions) and would like to talk to you about that too sometime (as I see you have a Skyrim video, I've never tried it... D2 & older games lik AOE, etc were my drug, lol).... but in recent years I buy the game but never open it :( Again - lack of energy, no sleep which combined with constant pain produces lack of concentration, disconnected thoughts, anger / bitchiness... plus the fact that some of my meds delete parts of my memory. Sometimes I lose entire days or weeks, just as if they were deleted or never happened. If you can recommend a game or two (no war games please, had enough of shooting in real life to jump at every backfiring car or 4th of July firework)...maybe some music also, you'd help me a lot.
I don't even know how to end all this incoherence, lol... except to wish you much better days ahead & REAL happiness in your future. I think it's waiting for us, somewhere behind the bend in our ugly roads. That's holding me up, somehow. Nothing lasts forever, and things can turn around in a second. If they can do that for the worse, like someone dropping dead out of the blue - surely they can go in the other direction also, towards happier times. We deserve some of those. Hugs from California wine country, wherever you are!
Ducky Ghouleh
I wrote down your information and I'll add you on facebook soon so you can delete the info from your comment. Your English is very good as well. You use it as well as most native speakers on the internet so no worries there. I'm really sorry to hear about the losses you've had in your life but it's good to know you still have your husband and mom. And one of my family members struggled with Endometriosis for many years so I know that's a really difficult thing as well.
The internet has a lot of bad aspects but it's amazing how it can bring so many people together at the same time. It gives people who are struggling an outlet and a way to connect with others who have issues similar to our own. And don't feel like a coward for not sharing more details of your life. You've shared a lot already and that takes a lot of courage. Again, I know that I'm truly lucky not to have a more difficult road than I have but I do know how frustrating medical problems can be. I can't imagine the torment you go through but it's inspiring that you keep going. There are a lot of people who have given up for a lot less so I tip my hat to you.
Gaming has pulled me through a lot in my life and it's one of the greatest forms of therapy I've ever had. I'll be glad to talk more about games/music, etc. as well so I'll be sure to add you on FB soon. Your comment wasn't rambling so don't fret about that either. I agree with you 100% - if things can get so bad so quickly, surely they can get better as well. I suppose that's the key to making it through difficult times and I wish you the best & better days as well. Finding that thread of hope the grab onto is extremely difficult, but even a thread is better than nothing
+Alma Ducky - Ghouleh Bardette
Steven, Alma, Gary, And for anyone who is reading this...You don't know me, I don't know you, but in all honesty, I hope you are in a better state of mind than when you were 2 weeks ago. Is such a beautiful thing to see how long Steven aka Boogie has come over the past years. And see that people care, and even relate to the hardships of life.
And for me to come here and read the comments, and see you Gary and you Alma and all other people here, helping each other.... I just wished more people would be like this.. and then the world would be a better place.
Alma, it is really good that you are not alone, and that your husband supports you and is there when you need it the most. And I hope your mother is doing well also. Often in struggles like the ones you wrote, people tend to ignore you, or help you at first then get tired ... and sometimes leave you when you need them the most... I was in the past in a place like that... So.. glad you are not alone.
Gary, hope you are seeing this too, and you doing ok. Please keep the fighting on, with life, and don't go in that dark place you were 4 times in the past. I'm talking about the suicide attempts. And if you find yourself there again, just come back here and reply to my comment, or talk with Alma as I see you two are on FB now, or with anyone else.
I hope i didn't come as a obnoxious being for writing all the things I wrote... I speak from some bad experiences in my life, with a dysfunctional family, health problems, dark places when I wanted all to end, bad friends, long 7 years relation with someone who just one day left, work problems, and so on...
I;m in a better place now that I was a year ago, but sometimes... the feelings.. just come back...
I don;t know what got over me... saw some videos today in the same tone as the one on here... and when i started to read the comments, i don;t know... I stopped here, and really wanted to say the things I just said.
I hope my english is okay and that I didn't offend someone.
Stay strong and be safe!
PS. I can recommend a game. It is a indie game. Unravel is the name. The creator is such a genuine person and the team also, from what I saw in some presentations and interviews. Search for a trailer. Hope it helps.
Easily one of the most touching and honest videos on YT I've ever seen. I fucking love you man, that took a lot of courage. You absolutely didn't have to, but thanks for sharing. I know you can do this Boogie. Sure, you're bound to have some slip ups, but you will get there in the end if you try to stay positive! Don't be too hard on yourself if you mess up once or twice.
A lot of people (including me) would miss you! You are one of the kindest, most honest and funny people on YT. I hope you can beat your demons or at least be able to live with them. Sure, there will always be haters. But the overwhelming majority adores you man! Much love and strength!
Same here! I have so much respect for Boogie!
This 100%. There is not a kinder and more sincere person on UA-cam. Keep being you and dig deep man. You have overcome a lot. Keep fighting the good fight and stay in there. We cannot lose you bud. Much love.
i swear he's the nicest man alive
iAmHostile | HostileEntertainment | yes he is
iAmHostile | HostileEntertainment | go on to Mcjaggernuggets channel and see if u still want to call him the Nicest man

Ruth guirguis That's fake you idiot
Ruth guirguis Honestly how dumb do you have to be to think that series is real. Its completely fake
i just wanted to say that ive been a follower for a little bit now and your reaction to the 300 pound in 15 months video as well as this one had really inspired me. I never commented because i know how many comments you get per day and didn't think it would ever be seen for you to know just what you did for me. This year, i was 265 pounds at 5'11''. over the following 7-8 months, ive now been able to get down to 175 and have plans to go to about 165. I just really wanted to say thankyou for everything you post on here about your struggle because you INSPIRE. Dont you every forget that. It's possible my friend, especially with all of the love and support you have on here and give to others. Please look to us, or your wife, or anyone that will support you because we will all be here for your transformation, no matter how long. Stay strong. Thank-you again
I know it's a bit of an old video but I ended up here while watching some of your other content since i'm a fairly new follower.
I could fairly easily fill the comment box with my story about the crap I've been through and had to overcome but I will say the positive path i'm currently plowing along has just got a lot wider and clearer after hearing your story. You're a good soul Boogie, thanks for inspirational boost.
guyver33 you couldn't fill the comment section don't lie

Keep fighting never give up!
Hey..... I love you

Sir, you may have some bad history, but no one will be able to take away your incredible beard. it rivals all. plus you're a super nice guy
👏
👍👊
.
well said
😁👍
These videos still give me comfort even after everything that's happened and been exposed. Cause the message still remains strong.
My thoughts exactly, gives me hope
This guy is a man. He is an inspiration. We think about when we were kids not getting the toy we wanted. He was beat for nothing. He almost never got what he wanted. Most people would have given up but not him. He's had so much but he's still going strong and I love that. I'm gonna get off my lazy ass and do it and I've said that all my life but now I'll do it for real. Thank you so much for this video Steven. You inspired me to get up and do something with myself. I really hope you read this. I believe in you
I literally cried when I saw this video
Good luck dude! I'm rooting for you!
+Benjamin Benitez
WOW if this guy can do it i can too! im in my latter 30's and NOT in a great state of health. im not nearly as large but i have ungodly high BP and an an alcoholic....not a good mix.
This had me tearing up. Literally, whenever im sad or angry i always watch your videos and they make me laugh sf hard, never gets old. Your such a strong guy, i defiantly respect you for that. As long as you keep fighting and keep trying, ull make it. Chin up, homie, we all love you and support you!
Yeah we do
Hgd
Keep on pushing on boogie you will figure it out please you make me laugh and cry and you inspire me please keep trying your my favorite UA-camr😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😄😄😄😅😅😅
tommy bawse š
the same
u lost 67 pounds in 6 months? thats AMAZING!!!!!!!
10+ pounds a month is very good. You don't want to lose too much too quickly for many reasons. if you can lose 10 pounds a month, in a couple years you will find yourself very happy about where you are. Time flies by.
Nicholas Carnes I was at 200 pounds a few years back but I've gained about 60 pounds since then... Ugh I really need to diet again lmao
We all have aches and pains, mental issues, whatever the doc says, regardless of how heavy, Boogie. Some, like myself need stern criticism, tough love, and be told to push, others need someone to have a shoulder to cry on and a good morale boost. You gotta do you, Boogie, no matter your methods, you gotta stay strong and look at the end goal, and any small victory is a victory. Good on you for getting better and hopefully you can get to where you need to be. You've got support dude, don't let a step backwards trip you, get back up brotha!
Keep fighting. You're gonna make the hall of fame, champion. I'm proud of you. The community is proud of you. Victory is a long road, but every journey is accomplished with actions.
Make the hall of fame for what? I think you meant Guinness world record book for fattest mam alive.
MrBosseidon dam right do u support boggie as much as I do
Bruh that's mean he is trying and that's what counts.
just know every soda you decline, every candy bar you wave away, or every pound, half pound, quarter pound you lose is a victory. The end reward is worth it
+Jaze Cinema Bullshit.
+TheBraveGoat This is bullshit advice. At his size, it will take him 10 years if he follows what you're saying. One pound or half a pound is not a victory. This is one of those moments where you're trying to be helpful but you're doing the opposite.
TheBraveGoat lol. Good luck
+Jaze Cinema So there's no coming back? As if. Every time he does something that helps his body, it's a victory. You sad, little people who try to make him feel as though there's nothing left are despicable. He fights harder than you ever will, every single day.
So shut your stupid, little mouth. Boogie is a true champion. Don't you dare try and take that away from him.
***** I know what he said and you can see what I said. Thanks.
I'm guessing both of you have been following him for a while. In that time, he has been on Supersize vs. Superskinny, he has multiple support from his subscribers... you would think this would help him. He is seriously ill and has zero self control. Even on the show he ate something over 1000 calories for ONE meal. When, the max he should eat is 2000. You guys think you're being supportive but you're not, at least not in the long run. I've worked with people his size with all sorts of personalities.
Anyways, like I told him... good luck to you.
We're not so different man. Never feel alone, you never are.
kernowcraze jes
Your an inspiration to us all!
Never ever quit, It's not how many times we fall, but how many times we get up/ rise again!
don't worry bro.. u r a good person.. that's what matters the most
Vaibhav Dang A good person who will die by 40 due to cardiac disease or blood clot.
Unceasing Cosmos still a good person
RedPanda Rob The point is if he keeps making excuses for his obesity, he won't live long enough.
Unceasing Cosmos do you have any clue how hard an abusive childhood is?
Unceasing Cosmos ironic that he's 43 and also just had a gastric bypass which can help turn his life around so he won't die at such an early age

Man I never knew this about you, I just watched all of your emotional videos and I have not stopped crying. I hope you are and stay happy no matter what. Never stop doing what you are doing and thank you.
It's extremely strong and brave of you to talk about this boogie. I wish I could just hug you right now!
thats kind of fucked up man
***** If you're unable to hug him, you're doing it wrong.
***** He has a neck, hasn't he? Just throw your arms around that. And you really don't need to go all the way around in order for it to be a hug. That's just a skinny bitch hug. Might as well go outside and hug a lamppost.

Ooooo pppppppl

Mr. Boogie, you are not alone. Many of us fight these demons constantly. I do find this video you made very encouraging. You are couragous to face wall and punch through it. I hope you are doing ok since you made this video. Thank you for letting us know that we are not alone and there are others out there who understand.
You sir, are a badass.
+BasterdAirsoft Despite what the word may imply, "badass" is actually a word with a meaning similar to that of "awesome".
+Nintendo link I'm aware. I think this guy is awesome.
+SMP 088 You're a very unhappy person.

Can we get an award for this man? He deserves it, really
Well done it's very hard to talk about things like this it takes a lot of courage great cid

It does
exactly. Accepting that he hs the disorderd is the most difficult thing. I really respect him. I wish I could help him in any way
Your mannerism, gentleness, gaming talk and humour is the reason why I subscribed to you. Keep doing what you're doing now as everything you do makes all of our days brighter, and don't change~
+Lexyvil you are a nice guy ;)
+Lexyvil Yeah! You are a great person. :D
+Lexyvil people like you is why people like Francis keeps doing what he does. You are an angel man. Keep sharing your love! ❤️😊

+Jeff Peake you know its a good point but why bring it up? just be nice to each other
i wanna give you a massive hug!!
me too
good luck guys, try to fir ur arms around him.
Just a bad joke...
Blu's Pie -_- maybe u shudnt have sed that
Senpai oh my gat these ppl here dont know what i mean when i add "just a bad joke" meaning that it was a joke.
Ill just get outta here this section is not 4 me
Blu's Pie hay dude i get its a joke but saying that really doesn't help a guy like him with his self a steam
Dear Boogie, I'm only 3 mins into this video, only just discovered you, and I've shed tears already and I feel love for you and I'm subscribing. I'm a victim of childhood abuse as are many people close to me and I've struggled with addiction, especially overeating, and so much of what you say resonates. I'm really looking forward to catching up on your content. A hug for you bro!
Boogie towards the end you said "I don't speak publicly about it because there's not much progress to report" mate, you're still here and that's progress! You're still trying and that's progress! You're talking about it and that's progress! You've been through hell and you're still here fighting where weaker people would fall and pass away... Don't put yourself down you're an amazing person that makes thousands of people happy! Now it's your time to be happy dude! Focus on you and your wife being as happy as possible and keep fighting! Everyone has times where we just give in and stop fighting, you've just gotta get back up and kick your own Ass into fighting again because you know deep down you can accomplish your goals and we all believe in you! Stay awesome, stay with us and never give up.
Scratch that... You have MILLIONS of people who love you :) maybe motivation could come from doing short vlog clips of your day when your doing your exercise? I k is you might not want to share those times but think of it as a video progress diary where all your loving friends here can cheer you on video by video. Just a thought that could help with motivation :)
LITERALLY MILLIONS

I very rarely comment on UA-cam videos, but this was one of the most moving videos I've ever watched.
You seem like a genuine person, and that's good enough for me. Best wishes.
I owe you an apology Mr. Boogie ( you deserve my respect ) I came across one of your videos and had no idea who you are or what you are about. When I saw your character. ( didn't know Francis wasn't real) I didn't like him and I wrote nasty remarks and went on my way. After a time I've come across this video and now I know what an asshole I was/am/ can be. I am so sorry for not even taking just a minute to realize even if Francis was real I'm asshole for being nasty. Again I am so sorry and you've taught me very valuable lesson.
Good luck to you and your wife.

true .
Good on you for recognizing and admitting that you made a mistake. Wish we had more of that on the internet!
It's all too easy to allow the anonymity of the internet, and the lack of knowing who someone really is, deride our better judgment. But it takes strength of character to not only admit when you were wrong but to then reach out and directly, publicly apologize. I watched this video and then went to the comments, bracing myself to see all "the sh*tty people coming out of the woodwork" Boogie mentioned in his video. But the first comment I saw was yours. And it amazed me. I really hope Boogie sees this and responds back to you. Well done.
powerful. and you RISING up is inspirationsal. let the pain go. embrace the uprising of the boogie pheonix
You sir deserve more than you have.
Yes 🙌❤️
YES HE IS SO GREAT
So right
Something that I know is very inspirational to me is that you have a wife, Francis. A wife that loves you and cares for who you are, despite the fact that you're different from the rest. You've taught me that just because you're different, it certainly doesn't mean that nobody loves you. And it certainly doesn't mean that you will never find a person that does love you for who you are. Ever since I became a teenager, I thought that no girl would ever like me because I have ADHD, Clinical Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and other various conditions. But you made me realize that I can still be loved by someone who likes and accepts me for who I am. And because of this, as of today, I've been with the love of my life for exactly 5 months now and never before have I been so happy in my entire life. Thank you, Boogie :-)
+SkitsOlemonz I'm glad for you... I'm glad that a girl accepted you...
But it's different here... everyone's the same here...
+Darius Watako - Hinamizawa Newcomer There's someone for everyone, just wait. :)
+A lamp. Thanks for the kind words...
I have depression too.. It's horrible. Stay strong!
+SkitsOlemonz Thank you for being strong enough to share your story with us.
Steve, not Francis, by the way. Francis is a character he plays. Just so you know ;)
I just want to say "Thank you" to your caring wife.
+Xcel Byte Saying thank you makes you a jerk? Huh, who would've thought.
it's 2018 I'm just looking back at this mate your genuinely one of the nicest people put there honestly gotta stay strong
You sir, should write a book.
Angel Castillo Benjamin Muthafucking King baby!
Don't you think you guys are being a little harsh for people having different opinions?
Angel Castillo This man certainly has the wisdom and life experiences to write a great book.
He even has the fan base who can purchase it.
Ikr
TootToot Yep so that's a massive jumpstart.
I gave you a hard time a while back, but having seen this I want to apologize. The amount of courage it takes to open up and admit ones faults is immense. Be proud of who you are, not how you are. You're a good man, with a good heart. Keep up the amazing work.
Hey everyone fucks up just admit your mistakes and learn
I cant understand why you would ever have wanted to give him a hard time, but credit to you for being able to backtrack. A lot of ppl arent big enough to change their mind\admit they were wrong.
Am I the only one who felt like crying and wanted to go throw the screen and hug him?
+Girlgamer192
Nope.
I feel u 📱💨😭
Through*
*****
What are you talking about?
I agreed that he was not the only one that wished to jump through the screen & hug Boogie.... because I had the same feeling.
+Parker Filipiak ?! 😳😐
Boogie listen we all love You for who U truly are, I suffer with depression and it is not easy! I truly understand the way mental health can drain someone, My mother always tells me "U can!" Always remember this no matter what U are going through always remember U can get through this. The Lord is always with Us and will continue to help us please don't feel as though U are worthless as U are an entertainer and a loving and inspirational man please remover how much U fly the flag for other people's struggles and how much U motivate me and others to conquer our hardest times. Much love boogie man xxxx

If you were going to quit youtube, all 3,873912 ( and more ) would come to your house and hug you and tell you to never quit. Your the best youtuber

I rarely stop by your channel. But this video really inspired me. I wish you the best man. I really do. Thanks for never giving up. That's something I admire.
Wow, what an amazing story, never give up man. Hopefully you will succeed and not die, because that would be bad for everyone on your channel and your family.
I feel so bad. He's brave to talk about it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are a great person and i hope you succeed
I know this is old but I love how raw this is. Keep up the amazing work. This is so inspirational 💕
Boogie I can relate to you man. 2 Years ago I was 6'6 245 lbs. Really Athletic. I herniated a disc and Ive been bedridden for the past year. Right now I weigh 300 lbs. I just finally had back surgery 12 days ago. I try to eat right and walk a little everyday but I fail all the time. I want to start vlogging my journey and your videos are so inspirational. You are a gem of a human being and I am glad I found your channel. Keep your head up
Thomas David i support you!

Thomas David ill subscribe
Thomas David 6ft 6 at 245LB! I guess you play basketball lol
My grandmother, who just passed away one month ago, had many, many, many of the same problems you've mentioned. She knew pain. Clubbed with tree branches, had most of her leg break through in an accident, had 12 major surgeries for varying reasons, diabetes and many other issues. When she passed, she was around 250, but I can tell you that, despite all the pain and agony. she was 250 lbs of love.
I may not know your pain first-hand, but I do understand your pain.
+Archer Slam-BAM hello
Jack Friday Hello.
hi
+Archer Slam-BAM I thought you meant 250 years old lol
***** I didn't say that. Not even remotely. I said that his problems were due to preexisting medical issues, much like my grandmother's was, and since I had to take care of her for many of her later year, I know what she went through, therefore I know what he's going through.
Boogie you a a beautiful, pure and wonderful person. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. :)
What dude said. Keep your head up bud!
+CC-3636 ur correct but people in the world are harsh its unfair but one thing this man does is not give a fucking shit best way of getting around problems like that indeed.
+Steve There's different way's to be beautiful? And yes, Boogie is the best example, that i know, being a beautiful person. Maybe he's the best example, to BE known.
yes you are
+CC-3636 Hello there, Commander Wolffe...
Im seeing this 3 years later, but, I must say, thank you Boogie for everything. I know your surgery will go well and your life will turn completely around. We believe in you, and we are infinitely grateful.
