Doug, I was in the same boat back in 2020. 630lbs. I was also living with my parents. I had a lot of medical complications. It felt like my world was ending. Not saying it’s going to be easy but the moment you decide to put yourself up first, it’s the moment you’ll change for the better. You got this brother. It starts with walking. It tons of protein and veggies. No more junk foods. Water! Water! Water! I’m currently 320. Lost 310 and I’m still losing weight. It takes time and dedication.
Congratulations. You're awesome. Keep going.
Congrats Brother, wishing you a great day
congrats
False hope
Congrats keep going 🎉
Doug you have already made the first step by reaching out. I wish i lived near you to give you emotional support. I will pray for you on this journey. YOU CAN DO THIS!!❤
You’ve inspired me Doug! The strength you have to call in after the life you have lived is very inspiring. You’ve got this, dig deep 🙂
I've been him. I was 450 pounds in my twenties. Lost 200 pounds and gained it all back plus some. I had weight loss surgery last year and have lost 130 pounds so far. I thought I would be dead by 40 before surgery. Gaining mobility again and getting my personality back as my confidence grows. I'm starting to feel like myself again. I went back to school a few months ago while still working full-time. Doug you've got this! All the hard work is totally worth it. You are worth it. Don't let anything stop you. You can have everything you want but only you can make it happen.
Proud of you!! Thank you!
Let’s go Doug I’m rooting for you
I'm routing for you Doug! Dr. Delony thank you so much for the kindness and compassion you showed Doug! Please provide us an update if you're able
John, you are changing my life. Simply watching your videos is moving mountains in my life. I love your show so much.
Dr. Delony.. you are seriously the best... thank you for helping Doug. They dont make them like you anymore. It would be awesome if we could all chip in a little to the amount to motivate Doug even more to accomplish his weight loss goals..❤❤❤
Doug. I hope you read this. You are loved. You are cherished. You are worth it. We believe in you. I repeat. YOU ARE LOVED! YOUR ARE CHERISHED! YOU ARE WORTH IT! WE BELIEVE IN YOU! Lets take Delony to the bank!!!😉 Sending you all the love the interwebs can carry!!❤
A remote work job can be had, starting @$19 an hour, going up. Get one j😊b, the first step.
This call meant a lot to me and I'm a third party. John is so kind and so tough at the same time. The world needs more people like him.
I just started watching this and had to stop to post this. Doug, I am SO impressed that you are keeping your foot in the stream of things and working, for whatever reason! You might not realize how tough you are, in a good way. The people you are surrounded with, most people in general, wake up and get going without your challenges. You should understand that you are kind of a badass.
Thank you both, Doug and Delaney. Also Jessearias . I really needed to hear this today.
Strong, kind, intelligent, and funny! Doug, you are so rad. I don’t know a single soul who wouldn’t hug you.
You don't know? Really? You moral grandstanders are so out of touch.
Your compassion is incredible, Dr. John! Doug, food can be an addiction (I have a food addiction, also), but the endorphins from exercise can become addictive, too. Fight for yourself tooth and nail, Doug! You're worth it!
Doug - keep being strong!! You can do it. I want you to check in in 2 years with an update!!
damn. Got me tearing up at work listening to dudes story. If you ever read this Doug.
The night is darkest just before the dawn.
I promise you the dawn is coming!!!
Never give up never surrender.
the devil is a liar!
Thank you for the kind words… the worst lie I ever listened to when I was skinny was that I can conquer addiction anytime cause I already have.. every time I would binge… but things just got worse
feeling bad for this guy. Man - good on you for calling in. Not an easy journey for anyone. Takes bravery to make that call. Big respect. I don't know how you could climb that mountain.
We need to set up a support system for Doug, I love how everyone in this comment section is all for him! We need progress updates!!!
thank you!! all the love and support is greatly appreciated!! im posting my first youtube video tomorrow!
Crying for this poor man right now. He sounds such a sweet guy.
Doug proud of you. You can do it man. You are overwhelmed but you are loved and capable of chipping away at this.
I appreciate your candor, Douglas. Your vulnerability and desire to communicate is the first step to make changes in your life. I am praying for you Douglas. You have a heart of GOLD. ❤️ Much love to you.
Well done for helping this kind soul. Fair play.
This was so so sad to listen to. My heart is breaking for him 💔
dying for Doug update! praying for you, brother!!
Hey! I’m doin ok… I’m somewhere in the 500s finally.. no more 600s, lots of challenges but I’m still kickin !
We believe in you Doug !! You can do this
Would love an update to this call
I was in Doug’s boat. I’m still overweight but lost a lot and have a better relationship with
Food. I also swim 3 times a week. I went back to university and have a masters in social work (I am not American so I know the cost might not be viable) I love my career now after being in a dead end job. but if Doug is reading, it will be tough and you will fall off the wagon a few times but you can do this I promise.
You have a big heart John! I wish Doug nothing but the best on his journey!
Made me cry
You got this Doug - we believe in you
Thank you Dr. Delony for what you do. Hooked to your show. Love from Africa
I am do glad people are showing so much compassion for this man. That being said, it makes me sad to know that if this were a woman, very few men would be showing her anything but hate.
Sir, I pray u find peace and joy one day. The Lord loves you.
Needs some David Goggins
❤❤❤we are rooting for u Doug!!!
Doug, you are worth it. I pray you get better❤
Is there any update on doug???
Wondering the same thing
Dr. John doesn't even strike me as the tattoo type! Looks cool though
Any update on Doug???
I can tell this guy thinks he's stuck and I know what that feels like. I'm 42 and think the same way at times. Ethan Suplee is my inspiration for losing weight
I would love to coach him through this!
Eat a Keto diet because you have insulin resistance. Eat less than 50 grams of carbohydrates per day. Get the book “The Case for Keto: Rethinking Weight Control and the Science and Practice of Low-Carb/High-Fat Eating”.
doug man.... you can do it.
Anyone who isn't rooting for Doug right now is totally without a heart.
How about having gastric bypass done? He definitely qualifies medically.
I dont haveve the weight problem but ive had a similar situation. Horrific childhood, bullying psychological abuse etc. I managed to surge forward in my late teens. do well at school, university, then in my 20s came the collapse. That was in teh late 90s. IM now 52, never had a career no relationship codependant. This guy sounds like he doesnt want suicide, but he wants his life to be different. IM behind him a 1000 percent. The mother reminds me of my situation. The person who helped put me where i am now is my saviour.SHe will concede her hsuband was abusive to me. She cared about me , but not enough to give up her marriage for my safety, That is very painful to live with. IMM off on a tangent. I hope you find your way Doug x
Thank you!
I think this guy lives Nextdoor to me
if you are 627 pounds, you got to be eating over 7,000 to 10,000 calories a day to maintain 627 pounds. The guy can't walk and doesn't have a car, his mother is abusing him by buying junk food and feeding crap for him to eat that much every day.
or he's getting delivery. Either way it's self induced and enabled. my best advice is put down the fork.
That would make sense if he wasn’t 40+ years old. He said that they both go to the food pantry and get loaded up…. I’ve been to food pantries and it’s mostly bread and baked goodies. They have a lot of canned junk food too. He also said that his mom can’t do a whole lot so it sounds more like he is his worse enemy.
He said that they go to the food pantry and they load up him and his mom with whatever they need.
That is So Me (240)
Bottom line, you have to want it bad enough! Fruits and vegetables. Stop eating junk. And your life will change.
My cousin died at like 750 pounds a year or 2 ago living w his parents @ like 40. Tbh i dont feel sorry for him at all; weak minded. Love em tho
He drank the Kool-Aid, huh? This is what we get for demonizing masculinity.
Wow this was hard to listen to
All I’m going to say is, if you’re under 35 you need to start prioritizing your weight
After a certain point unless you have extreme dedication or medical intervention that weight is going to kill you at a very young age
One way or another
Doug, if you were in front of me I would give you a big hug 🫂 ❤
Doug, you are worthy! You are strong! You are loved! Saying this to yourself will change your mindset. It is gonna be hard at first but I know you can do it!
God bless you Doug!
Doug, you can do this! ❤ Here's a virtual hug 🫂 Don't be overwhelmed by how long it might take or how many changes you want. Take baby steps and never give up. Consistency is the most important 💯 Quick story in my life, and ik this is smaller scale, but my husband was pushing 300lbs when we first met and he lost a bunch of weight and got down to 190lbs by our wedding day. It's possible to change and I believe in you!!
Wow! Go Doug! You are a beloved child of God!
Doug, if you are reading this - buddy I hope you find strength to save your own life. You are worth it.
thank you, its certainly a process
You can do this doug, its hard but push through it.. set your mind at the future. See yourself the way you want to be, and dont stop till you get there. Its gonna take some time. Who cares what anyone thinks.keep pushing! Law of attraction works. Stay positive, big hugs to you ❤️
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972 You got this Doug! We are all with you! Sending love your way from Germany!
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972 I believe in you, dude! If you ever just want someone to talk to, feel free to reach out to me. If you want dieting advice, I can help with that as well. As a general rule of thumb, don't suddenly cut your daily calories in half. You can cut by maybe 100 calories per week until you're where you should be. You can still eat enough to make you feel full, but of healthier food. It's a struggle, but you're going to do great.
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972 Doug!! We are so proud of you for taking this step to get better! We are cheering you on! If you have an Instagram page and are open to having us walk with you through this journey we would love to rally around you! Praying for you, Doug!
finally uploaded my first youtube video :) im so thankful for all the love and support!
I’m about to subscribe right now! 🔥💪🏾
@@Losochill thank you!! I’m still kinda new to it so the quality might be a little low but I’m trying!
Blessings to you!
Right on. Get it done, Doug. We’re rooting for you
@@douggiedoesfatlossgood luck Doug.
You have thousands of people rooting for you Doug! Get that goal!
Delony’s heart is made of gold.! The compassion and love he shows people is so special!! We need more John’s out in the world.
So true..my heart was full listening to this
Mine too. ❤
Yes, I'm looking at Dr. John's face only 2 minutes into this video and my heart is touched...
Yeah I'm really thankful I found this channel. It's hard to come across people who just really care and are really devoted to helping people. John is certainly one of them and his commitment to helping people who are struggling is one of those profound examples of how good human beings can be when they choose to.
Ok. As long as there are less Ramseys.
Listened to this in the car yesterday. This call is incredibly profound. There was a level of gravitas in the call and it really is special. We need more Dougs and Dr. Johns in in this world, with their hearts of servant leadership.
Right? I started crying it's so sad I think a lot of us can relate in some way even if some of us aren't bigger.
Thank you for the kind words!
So we'll said 🙏
We are all rooting for you Doug!!!! Thank you Dr. John for all that you do!
Oh man this was heartbreaking. Doug sounds like an awesome guy , i hope he can turn things around, and realize he deserves so much more from life
I’m so dang thankful for all the love and support I’ve gotten on here , I’m thinking about starting a UA-cam channel documenting everything but nervous about it and my editing skills are.. sub par. To say the least lol
Best of luck to you on your journey, brother. You deserve it. You can do it!
Doug do it!!!!!!
We believe in you Doug! The world needs more people like you!
Hey Doug. How are you doing? I hope things are going well for you. You certainly have a lot of people rooting for you. One step at a time.❤
@@MerryLozza hey!! Been struggling recently with some health and family issues but starting to make progress again
John delony is the real deal. His compassion is genuine and he gives people hope that they are not in their pain alone. Most of the time all someone wants is validation that they are worth fighting for.
"They don't make hearts like yours anymore, Doug." I felt that, and I know Doug felt it too. It was powerful to hear you say that, Dr. John. Doug, if you end up reading this, just know that you are a good man and you deserve better. Internet strangers are rooting for you!
thank you
You all are making me cry with your sweet comments I love this community of people we are all rooting for Doug and I hope he sees all of these lovely comments.
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972 How is the journey going Doug? I send you all the love and encouragement. I relate so much to you and your story and I am rooting for you ❤
Any update on Doug? Hope is doing good
I want a Doug update! We need more genuine people in this world
I just found he has a UA-cam channel: Dougiedoesfatloss
@@HeatherPaulineWeightloss thank you!
Thank you for sharing this! I’m excited to see his channel and progress
He has a channel! He just posted 8 days ago in late august. He’s in the comment section of this video right above your comment lol.
Doug update!!
Doug, if you read this, you're a pure soul. I have struggled with my weight and I am pissed I let myself gain it again. I understand. You can turn this around. This call is the first step.
Right? I've actually lost weight due to Covid but I ended up getting $600 in food stamps and bought too much food and over are it. Now that I barely have any money I'm really really glad so I don't over eat. It's actually healthy to fast. But yes I've literally been snacking on foods and I'm not trying to say this just to mirror the poor guy I was just talking to my ex about it how I am over eating a lot lately. Luckily if I do over eat a lot and it's acidic it tends to build up and I get horrible gerd. Now I feel stupid because I had those crappy frozen pizzas that are so unhealthy. I think in my head I want to feel sick so that someone can take care of me because I'm lonely so maybe subconciously that's what Doug is doing also. Plus I'm an introvert so I like to stay in doors but when I get a job I hate it everyone always tends to be the same with the gossip, harassment, anal passive aggressive manager, I tend to just run which is a trauma response soooooo I think Doug should try and figure out why he keeps gaining all of this weight but it sounds like loneliness to me. Plus he feels worthless. You're not alone Doug I'm not working and am behind in rent and my ex boyfriend is 40 years old and still lives with his parents his whole family lives together. I also fall into a deep depression because everything here in CA is so expenssive so it's environmental for me. I'm really rooting for this guy big time when I heard his voice I started to cry like I said we all struggle with something. Rooting for you also!
I hope that we get a follow-up story on Doug. I love Dr. John's tangible help and incentives that he threw in. I think that the fact that this caller could reach out for help and talk about something that would be so embarrassing for most people to discuss is a sign that he's ready for change. Good luck, Doug!
He’s dead rip 🪦 if ur 42 and still living like that ur screwed not changing to old of a dog
Most of us with food addiction and extreme weight issues are usually suffering from tremendous pain and trauma.I can feel his pain. Sometimes you just feel like you have no more fight left.
Yea well you can’t quit so what other choice is there 😂
Hi doug !! You got this, we all have our struggles. Dr john threw you a line, take it and run😊 im 39 and you're still young you can still get your goals and dreams, your journey is inspiring to others keep us posted!! We love you doug❤
He can do it to it may take a lot of work but I remember listening to one of John D video and I told myself I would get my Food Handler's Card...I ended up downloading the program and my friend bought it for me so I told myself if I don't get through it I'm not only going to disappoint him buy myself. After I went through the program I decided this is what I want for me. It takes time to do some things but I spent 9 hrs doing it so he can do it also I believe in him.
@@mariahconklin4150what's a Food Handler's card?
Dr. John, I was 605 at my heaviest and have been working on dropping weight for the past 19 months! This is the most amazing call you’ve ever had. I love you, you’re heart is so beautiful. Thank you.❤
That's great, good for you ❤
Maybe and the other gentleman in comments who lost 300 pounds can contact him through Dr John and help him out
Try Ozempic it's a wonder drug that will heal the world.
Hope it's going well with you xx
Delony, you're just a really decent guy. I have tears.
I hope they follow up with Doug over the coming months, as his weight goes down to 4xx, then 3xx, etc. I really want to see him turn it around and get on a much better path.
his channel is the third comment
"Im at low point to where there's so much going on that needs fixing, that I don't even know where to start."
I think we have all felt that way about something before❤
This call had be in tears. You are so worthy Doug. A gem of a human.
Thank you for the kind words!
Doug we are all here for you! You are also inspiring me to make changes. G-d be with you Doug. You are Amazing and have a wonderful Heart. ❤️
@@douggiedoesfatlossDoug my man you made me cry. You've got a heart of gold. Wishing you all the best. You are worthy. You are deserving.
Thank you for being an incredible human to your callers. Doug, we are rooting for you!!!
I’m praying for you Doug! You’re life is worth fighting for and with the Lord’s strength you can achieve the impossible. You’re alot more capable than you realize because you’ve made it this far. Rooting for you and your journey! 🫶
Amen, Well said!
This was the first time I’ve teared up listening to this. Doug my brother. Please, please reach out to me for weight help. I’ve worked with people over 500+ pounds. I really want to help where I can if you’d let me.
Doug I don’t know if you’re reading this but you can absolutely do this. You have a heart of gold and the world needs you if not for yourself do it to serve the people who need you. I can’t imagine how isolating your experience has been but you can make your story something that can change the lives of so many not only yourself. God put you here for a reason and sometimes it takes an extreme circumstance to make an incredible impact on the world. From the way you speak from your heart I can tell you have it in you. God bless you on your journey. You called into the show for a reason, never forget that. You want your life to change now just let actions follow and truly only you can hold yourself accountable to live the change each and every day. Each and every day you will need to check in with yourself to be steadfast on your goal of the smallest wins and keep compounding those small wins with gradually bigger wins. Your life is not over Doug. Do not resign yourself to this condition you are currently in. Your body wants to survive and thrive.
Listening to this call I'm so thankful that Dave realized he needed someone like John. Dave's "if you don't want to be fat don't hang out with fat people" isn't helpful. This man needed compassion and understanding which John has an excess amount of.
I believe in you Doug! I am 5’8 270lbs broke 43 years old and delivery 🚚 pizza 🍕 at Papa John’s! I have not had sex in 3 years! Men are hurting out there! Thanks Dr Delaney!
I’ve had Ed for 3 years… haven’t even been able to do anything… thank you for the kind words!
Well you are getting up everyday and working and from the tone of your words to Doug you are able to encourage others. Plus you have a kind smile. If you are showing this smiles to the customers you deliver to you are making the world better. There might just be one person you see in on your daily route that really needs a friendly smile and a presence of encouragement (we never really know how we influence others while we are here on earth).
Stop working at the pizza place and you will lose weight from not eating it all the time 😂 I had the same problem… get a job outside working hard it will make you feel good and manly …. If ur able to work hard gif willing ur Body doesn’t give out 😂
@@douggiedoesfatlossthey have shots you stick in ur pp and gets you more Betta than viagra I feel bad for you my boy I had mental ED once or twice and it’s like torture in the mind not getting hard
Reaching out for help is a great start. Perhaps he can apply for disability. Perhaps he can see someone like a doctor for weight loss and a therapist to start feeling better about himself. I wish him the best.
for sure, fought for a year trying to get it, I was denied like a week ago.. contacted a lawyer, and they sent me a letter yesterday saying they weren't able to help me with my claim... its disheartening
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972 Don't give up. Try again
Getting disability usually takes more than one try.
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972 same with my disabled husband. Denied twice
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972 I think you have to keep applying it could take forever I applied also but I'm not worried I won't get it either. Maybe it depends where you live to. I've been struggling also I could only get one day of work in. I talked to a social worker at my apartment complex and she first said I can only work part time then she said I couldn't work at all. I'm frusterated because I still feel like I can work my thing is I'm just emotional and angry so I've been trying to deal with that. So it's stress related! But the social worker apparently thinks it's just so easy to get disability when sometimes it is not lol! We are proof you know? And some people get SSI for life and do drugs all day and night and for some reason I've been focusing on healthy goals and don't want to do even weed or alcohol...not sure what has changed really but I'm taking time on things (positive) that truly matter. That's what Doug should focus on and looks like he has a ton to do now like read, call his therapist, look up that actor, exercise so he is set. My new addiction is over eating and I absolutly hate it so sometimes it's getting out of the house because he's poor so what is he going to do go out and eat at a resturant? He is unable to. But for me getting out of the house, reading, The Finch App, doing uber eats with my friend, watching inspiring videos, cleaning my house, exercising, relaxing when I do work, dancing, listening to inspiring music, learning a new skill, going on job interviews, etc help a lot.
@@douggiedoesfatloss5972you don't need the government. That would just enable you to stay the same. Win this. I would love to see an update show where you get your $1000 from deloni. Then another update when you get your bed.
Hi Doug, seeing a dietician that specializes in eating disorders has started to change my relationship with food. If you have Medicare, I think they pay for it. Some people don't understand it's a lot more than putting down the fork.
This a thousand times over.
He said he wasn’t able to get it 🫤 I hope the therapist can help him find a nutritionist or get Medicare.
Exactly. It’s just like a drug addiction. It wasn’t easy for me to just stop taking pills. This is the same thing. He can’t “just stop” he needs to get to the root cause psychologically and mentally and fix it, and he has to want to change. He feels so much guilt and shame he’s blaming himself like every addict does.
Take care of yourself. God bless.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Doug, you cannot do this on your own. Please find a hospital or clinic specializing in physical therapy. Become an in-patient and allow others to help you. They will get you on an eating plan, get you moving (which can save your life), test for any medical issues you may need addressed and will give you the structure and support you need. You sound like a kind man who is crying for help and thankfully, you reached out. This is a huge step.
He can't afford that level of care, which is one of the many cruelties of the American health system.
But I agree with you. He also needs to get to the threshold of admissibility for bariatric surgery.
the "system" will NOT help him, stay FAR AWAY from the healthcare complex!
Doug, I am ROOTING for you! Listening to you speak about helping others around and hearing how compassionate you were really lifted my spirits. I am praying for your determination because YOU’VE GOT THIS!! ❤
Very kind and sincere words.
What a powerful episode. Doug's story broke my heart but also inspired me. Thank you Dr D. for being so compassionate with him. He needed to hear your words of strength and encouragement. I fully believe that Doug can take those small steps to change his life. You can do it Doug. We believe in you and are rooting for you. 💛
If you are reading this Doug you are amazing and I wish you the best on this journey!
"I don’t poison myself anymore" resonated so much with me. Thank you, John
Father, through Christ please touch, heal, and help Doug, through your Holy Spirit. Amen. God loves you Doug. Don't give up on yourself! Through The Shepherd's Chapel, Pastor Arnold Murray, chapter by chapter, verse by verse, get in Father's Word, only God, through Christ can heal the broken-hearted.
Never met you before Doug, but I can tell you’re an incredible person. Praying and rooting for you.
Sounds like a really kind hearted man, hopefully he is successful!
I’m so impressed that Dr. John asked Doug when it was the last time that he had human touch. Yeah such a beautiful heart, Doug.
Sometimes it just starts with small steps, Doug.
I think that the six months of therapy that Dr. John suggested will definitely help.
They are also really simple things that you can do, which is that you don’t drink your calories.
Basically, you’d have water, and then unsweetened tea and unsweetened coffee.
Put in a splash of milk if you like, but absolutely no creamers.
Stay away from soda and avoid deep fried foods. A lot of restaurants have grilled meat options or even baked options so I’m hoping that shouldn’t be too hard.
Get most of your carbs from beans and frozen vegetables. Dry or canned beans are pretty. Inexpensive and so are frozen vegetables which can be much cheaper than the ones sold in the fresh section.
That doesn’t mean that you can never have your favorite foods, but do you want to avoid the things that are not so good for you as much as possible.
I hope you have a swimming pool facility near you, Doug.
It can be a great exercise choice, and it will put a lot less strain on you than other types of exercise. Also, walking is a good choice as well.
You can do this, Doug. Sometimes it just starts with small changes to your life.
I also recommend prayer in your life. You probably do it already and now we even have apps for that so that you can journal and keep yourself accountable. How long is my favorite one but there are lots of them out there.
Also find one or two good friends in your area to walk alongside you. I don’t live in your area, but I want to be your friend.
You can do this, dad.
Probiotics
The bad bacteria in the gut cause craving. You have to outnumber them
Doug, if you read this you are a wonderful person and we are all rooting for you. My heart hurt for you when you said you had not experienced touch since 2020. It may sound a little silly and you may not be able to just yet, but check if there are any affordable massage therapist or massage training schools in your area. Touch by another human is a powerful thing and that can be a tool for self care and human connection. Wish you the best!
If this man lived in my neighborhood and I knew about him somehow, I would show up with my dogs and we'd walk. We'd set goals in ft, then yards. We'd get it done. Thank you Dr Delony for helping this man.
I was thinking just that. How lovely would it be for a couple of kind hearted folk just to walk with him.

And he would probably drag you down ur not changing no 42 year old dog with a comfy mommy taking care of him life 😂
Doug you've got this. You seem like such a wonderful person and I can't wait to see you inspire others with your journey to wholeness.
"Your job isn't to fix all these things at the same time." That hit home for me. I needed that. Best to Doug. I hope he truly thrives.
Doug, I’m hearing this for the first time. I hope 6 months later something has changed for the better. Love from Winston Salem Buddy
Small world! What part of Winston?!? Things are getting better slowly
@@douggiedoesfatlossDoug! I am hearing this for the first time. You can do this! We are the same age. I have lost 130 pounds-still have a way to go. But realizing I’m worth the healthiest I can be was the first step. Even if it was just 15 minutes of walking my driveway. Much love from Tennessee.
@@truckerwifeonabudget6295 good job!!! Freakin proud of you!!!
Give us an update on Doug. No shame of nothings changed but update would be appreciated.
