Now I know why Dr. Nowzarden (My 600-lb.Life) is based in Houston.
lol I didn't even think about that.
Lesa Beaty That never occurred to me.
Have you noticed how he has aged I worry there is no one to take his place.... willing to take the risk
Dr. Now's making a killing 😂
Lesa Beaty 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
My worst fear is being one of the headless fat people they show as B roll footage.
Hayley dead XD
What's B roll? That sounds horrible anyway 😖
😂 Ikr these vids make me work out
@@mh20162 Kind of like filler footage used to show what they're talking about. So like at 00:11

Letting your kids get fat should be treated as child abuse no matter what country your from
Absolutely agree!!!
That man ate enough to feed at least 4 adults so that he could get a free meal, and he seems proud. I do not understand that, to me it's disgusting, wasteful and it's damaging his health.
Exactly!
That lady gets on my nerves, being fat doesn’t mean if you’re pretty or ugly, it means being healthy or not
Because of her arrogant, non caring suck up attitude, she is one step away from a heart attack or stroke or dead
She also is a charge to all of us because she dosnt work
@Simply Outspoken , duh, I know that.
@Simply Outspoken , I didn't know that she passed away until I scrolled up and found out that she passed away.
@UC3-WPsNQXWY7YSKHTrvznxg , yeah, her nonchalant don't care so what attitude didn't end her anywhere but dead. Her attitude sucked to high Heaven. I'm 305 pounds, being obese is not fun, it's a miserable life. I know because one time I went to Walmart with my sister and there was staring and whispering behind my back. My sister told me about it. Obesity is no life to live
“I am not making any effort to lose weight just to lose weight.” Okay, how about losing weight so you can walk? Or so you can live? Those are good reasons!
Nah she’s already dead.

I was curious, thank you. I was thinking maybe 90s at first.
How much worse then is it, two decades later?
@@susettemclachlan8765 Apparently Houston is no longer the fattest city. Which probably doesn't mean people got thinner, but that another city got even fatter.
Shocking that these morbidly obese people don't see how fat they are & say they're comfortable in their skin & even think they're attractive & sensual!!!😂
@@baronmeduse
Not too far from Dr Now.?
I’m Italian. We have a massive food culture, and the same idea that you need to love eating and be a big eater. However, NONE OF US ARE FAT
Quit bragging.
It's the sugar and seed oils. Italians eat lots of carbs, olive oils, meats. Which some consider unhealthy, but really they're not. American's food culture is high fructose corn syrup fried in soybean oil. I go to the grocery store and foods you wouldn't typically think to have added sugar, does.
Bread, peanut butter, oatmeal, "breakfast" foods that are basically dessert. Bacon, baked beans, canned fruit and soups, sugary yogurts and milks, sauces (like pasta sauce), dressings, crackers, smoothies, and of course, flavored coffee. Don't even consider Starbucks, everything is a sugar bomb.
@@Bloxicorn Last June I cut carbs to a minimum, like maybe 25g per day. I'd already cut the sugar right down but wasn't losing much weight. However, after cutting the carbs I went from 12 st 9lbs to 9 st 12lbs in 9 months (177lbs to 138lbs for the Americans; the Europeans can convert it to kilos because I don't deal in silly measurements even though I can do both).
Carbs are converted by the body into glucose but because so many carbs are eaten the body doesn't burn the glucose; instead the liver deals with it and stores it as fat. This why exercise has little effect on weight. There is so much excess glucose in the boldy from the carbs, it is used for energy. If you cut the glucose right down your body will start burning your excess fat for energy.
@quantitativediseasing9988 as a person from a normal country (germany) you disgust me with your strange freedom measurements. Just use metric like every other country in the world
@@Elliot-sd9ke We're cleverer than you because we use both. However, I choose not to. Height, weight, distance, volume...I use imperial and refuse to use metric. If you want metric, convert it yourself.
These Shows are so good for killing appetite.

Your comment made me cry...blessings to you Keri.
Good on ya 👍🏾
"If all I had to do was lose weight.." is a statement that negates obesity as an actual disorder. People don't understand that the reasons for being obese are medical ones. If it was so easy to lose weight, obesity would not be a big issue. People are obese for various reasons but it's rarely because they wake up and decide to be 600 lbs. Usually there are deep seeded psychological issues or food addiction or an eating disorder at play. People just assume that all fat people can just change like it is so easy but when you are so obese your body and hormones change making it very difficult to overcome and many would rather just live with it than keep fighting.
@@foodiethebeauty deep seated.
When I moved from Germany to Texas, the weight was what shocked me the most. In Germany , even overweight is considered huge. I was bigger than most others while being 20lbs overweight. Then I moved to Texas and I’m one of the smallest people around me. The thing that shocks me the most is the fat children. In Germany, you almost NEVER see a fat child, and if you do it’s an American tourists kid. But here in Texas, so many kids, especially the boys are so big. It hurts my heart seeing them, knowing their parents are setting them up for a life of struggle and health issues.
Sadly that's changing. After Corona a LOT of obese kids came back to school. Unhealthy habits seem to have rooted themselves deeply into the German society, too. Sadly.
German are bigger and taller than Italiens
French people overweight buy german clothes
You have an american who was deadly overweight and did a hughe diet he is know fit and do sport
The key is cooking
Vegetables chicken ( not fry) and rice
Fruits
And sport
@@Pellija4321 plus the amount you eat. Portions are MUCH too big
I'm sorry but there is no way diane was truly as happy as she claimed. I have been morbidly obese. I wasn't even a third of her size, nor was I immobile, but the psychological damage of my relationship with food and the sheer amount of insecurity, lethargy, and mental health issues you live in when you're obese is undeniable. All this food she ate, this heavily processed non-nutritious food, has been scientifially proven to be linked with depression. That's not even delving into the anxiety and contant avoidance of any form of exercise and all the physical limitations you have. Anybody who has successfully lost weight knows that they don't realise how bad it is mentally until they are not there anymore and can look back on it. Diane never really experienced anything that keeps you mentally health - exercise, whole foods, sunlight, good sleep, good relationships etc. I find it hard to believe that she ever truly knew what it was like to feel good and happy.
That my friend is called denial and delusion.
yeah i don't believe it either. even if she genuinely is happy with her looks, literally not being able to do anything by herself is so limiting and must be so depressing
It's funny, but when I first saw her I scrolled to see when the video was uploaded. It was 5 years ago. My immediate thought was _"If she's not done anything to lose weight, I reckon she'll be dead by now."_ Scrolling through the comments, I see I was right.
No wonder Dr Now is in Houston - he has an endless stock of patients
Great job security
It is the fat capital, how good is that - shame there isn't a fat killing virus
I was going to say the same thing. I guess Dr Now has job security.
Endless stock 😂😂😂
"Ello, how y'all doin'?" lmaoo
"the fattest city three years running"
Or not running.
Three years sitting...
Three years electric wheelchairing...

Tiffany’s son is adorable. Just listening to him, and watching him as he contemplates his situation…he’s going to grow up to be a good man. This was four years ago. Hope there’s an update on all of them. Hope they’re all doing well.
That was 20 years ago. He's such a nice boy. He's intelligent, a very nice personality, a good son and a good-looking boy. I would love to find out how they are all doing 20 years later.
I looked it up and Tiffany is 157 pounds! Very happy for her!
Obviously this documentary was taken 24 years ago so much longer...
I used to work for the police here In Australia and I dealt with all of the autopsy reports when there had been a sudden death, which was known as an 83. The thing that stayed with me the most is the pathologist’s description of the deceased before beginning the post mortem. They would describe the appearance of the body ie well nourished female, underweight male, etc. I never want to be (just in case I die unexpectedly) the obese female! It has bothered me enough for years, just that description of a body and apart from gaining 20kg while on cortisone, I have never been overweight in my life. I managed to lose that by myself. Never again, I hated being overweight, it felt awful!!
I observed a bunch of autopsies. When I was 16 I volunteered at our small community hospital. They got to know me very well bc I planned to go to med school. I was allowed to observe some autopsies on my own time.
Two were memorable. One guy came in on a plane from an overseas flight and collapsed. He was brought to the ER where he died. There was concern that he had some infectious disease (because of where he had flown in from.)
The next was a morbidly obese woman. She was only in her late 30’s when she came in to the ER in full arrest. I got to watch her autopsy. It was the most visually disturbing thing I had ever seen.
The pathologist was forced to change his gloves multiple times bc her body fat made his gloves so greasy. There was real concern that he might cut himself with an knife because everything was greasy from adipose. It was nasty.
If you want to know what this is like, there is a similar full autopsy on UA-cam of an obese female. They don’t blur the images like on “Dr. G.” (Why bother filming then?) This is the real deal. Just search for “Autopsy On An Obese Woman: Obesity Post-Mortem.” (I would post the link but I learned that UA-cam deletes posts containing links.)
This video will open your eyes. Excess fat will destroy your internal organs. In the case of the autopsy I was present at, her liver was inundated with adipose. She had nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Such a shitty way to die!
Warning: The video is really gross. I think of the autopsy I saw every time someone goes on a rant after their PCP urges them to lose weight. No - it’s not fat shaming - it’s saving your life. That’s like complaining when your PCP tells you to quit smoking. No, knucklehead, she’s not picking on you. We’re trying to keep you from dying of emphysema or COPD - another really shitty way to die.
@@ailleananaithnid2566 I have seen the same. We used to describe it as like the custard in a vanilla slice (if you know what that is). That greasy yellowy fat layer. I mean, we all have some fat. But I used to pity any pathologist who had to deal with their bodies
I felt second hand shame on their behalf! Imagine being described and having some poor person have to deal with the enormous amount of fat! Just disgusting!!
It is really hard to maintain your weight when you retire from a physical job. My weight was so easy to maintain as a nurse on a really busy ward & then in memory support aged care, but once I finished up I was really surprised by how quickly I started to gain weight simply because my activity level dropped. I imagine being a police officer is the same if you go from a busy cop making sure dumb bogans are behaving to a more sedentary life.
why did you say "overweight female" and not "overweight male"? A bit of a double standard.

@@davidvance6367 -- Talk about a self-imposed death sentence.

@@kdphotos4691 Mhm
Lmao now you KNOW some take advantage of that. You know, they’ll sit all day. That’s why a lot of these buffets CLOSE between lunch and dinner lmao!
🤣
I found this absolutely horrific to watch. It was like passing the scene of a devastating accident and not wanting to see dead people but not being able to look away either. My background is in psychiatry, but I don't think I have ever seen so much denial in my life. For Diane to think that her weight should just be accepted is nonsense. She must have had severe medical issues. But she just didn't see it as a problem. I think she had given up. The fellow doing competitive eating and being proud of it has just admitted he has no meaning in life apart from eating. Only Tiffany had any motivation to get to a normal weight and I hope she has been successful. But what a tragedy for everyone else.
The first step in beating addiction is accountability. 90% of addiction is psychological. As soon as I figured that out, I didn't just beat addiction...I kicked its ass.
This is exactly what I was thinking. As a nursing student I can’t fathom how easily she justifies her weight problem! She must be in excruciating pain, have diabetes, hypertension, etc. Not to mention the fact that she relies on a motorized wheelchair to get around, that alone should be a wake up call.
I think competitive eating is disgusting. There are people in the world who are starving, meanwhile people are stuffing their faces for fun.
My motivation for eating healthy. People like this make me happy about my own life.

Diana is literally out of breath just sitting there and talking, does she really not think she's unhealthy at that weight?
In my personal experience, you realize that you were sick because of fat only when you lose that fat.
@Thor I'm pretty sure this documentary was made between 2005-2009. If that's the case, she's probably dead by now.
You're one of those tunnel minded people
Most likely denial.
I was literally thinking the same thing the whole time I listened to her talking. I literally live in Texas(near Houston too)and am scared of ending up this way. I’m pretty sure I won’t because obviously I’m aware but the thought frightens me away from eating anything.
"Just Because Your Fat Doesn't Mean Your Not Attractive", Earth to 620lb lady in wheelchair, yes it does.
True but there are limits...🤔
She is beautiful but she needs to realize that her health is what matters
Imagine the confidence she'd have with a somewhat regular figure, she'd be unstoppable.
People will find you attractive at any size, no doubt. Some men really love women her size. But that’s not what matters. She died because of how big she was. Being 620lb doesn’t make you unattractive, but it does make you die

Wow I can’t believe DIANNE minimized the severity of her circumstance by saying she might be the fattest in her family, but she is the prettiest. That argument might have held weight when she was 195 lbs but it don’t matter how good you look when your over 600 lbs. Looks have nothing to do do with her health to begin with.
this woman and most of these people are severely delusional
Hi Priscilla There is no way in hell I can argue with what you have said. Regarding the woman with short brown hair....She says she is happy but I have to wonder if this is really true. I am willing to guess that she sees food as a comfort and not a nutritional necessity. Thanks...
@@Sirphil-dj9dh Hi, I dont think she is, you are probably on the right track. Emotional eating is used as a copeing mechanism by a lot of individuals. There is just no way you are happy being our of breath from uttering a mere sentence.

Garden Glory and someone tells me why fat shaming is wrong
I don’t think Linda is, it seems like we caught her in the midst of realization. I live in TX, and sometimes the healthiest (and cost-efficient) way to dine out is to split a entree or eat half and take home the rest for the next day. You eat clean like me? Eat at home or order the plainest thing with veggies a-la-carte. And I have NEVER understood the Whataburger fascination.
There's a fine line between body-positivity and passively condoning an addict's delusion that it's ok to continue abusing food.
pretty sure it's a really fat line

Dianne is so defensive about her weight because she knows she's lying to everyone - especially herself.
She claims she's beautiful while we all can see she has to shave her face daily - a common problem with the obese is whacked out hormones.
Well said
Dianne spends an extensive amount of time defending her position/situation. Okay fine, we all have rights. But what if we (the community) forced her to become fully independent. That is take away the personal care giver, remove the food delivery service, remove the oxygen supply, etc. She would expire in 24-48 hours.
Typical American she is aye?
RIP Dianne. She died from diabetes last month. You can only fight the reaper for so long, but he always comes to collect what he's due
This is really sick! How about eating to live, rather than living to eat? How about being able to look after yourself, rather than being dependent on others just to put on your shoes?
Diane makes a lot of self-pitying excuses and dies 2 years later. Especially the idiotic ''blame the men''. A BMI well North of 40 gives you a short and miserable life.

“there’s a history of obesity in my family”
they need to stop using that as an excuse and lose weight.
GageyyBoyy There's a history of heart disease in mine but I stay in the gym
GageyyBoyy Family history in health is often given exaggerated importance. Most health problems, like weight, cancer, etc. are behavior/environmental, not genetic, but people tend not to ignore this, maybe out of fear or guilt. The hardest problems to face are self-inflicted. I work in medicine, and one time a patient with severe COPD, from smoking, was extremely tearful about their diagnosis and hospitalization. The next day, they were upbeat, and mentioned that they remembered that in their early 20s they worked in a factory with strong smells, and THAT must of damaged their lungs (not the subsequent 40 years of hard smoking).
There's a genetic disposition to gain weight faster and have heart and health complications, but yeah it's not excuse. It should be a motivator.
GageyyBoyy not everyone can lose weight like others. Maybe try to understand that we aren't the same, many have hipper active thyroid that is a big problem for people to lose weight. Many didn't have a good childhood and made thire addiction to food. It's not easy to give up just like a alcoholic or a drug addiction.

@@ski7301 ok but when that costs the health care system a shit ton of money, that's not cool.
@@ski7301 no you can’t because you are putting your health at risk. There is nothing acceptable with being fat and obese.
I can't believe they aren't worried about their health. I'm 166 lbs and always worried about a heart attack
166 pounds is not bad...it also depends on height and age. People who exercise regularly can be 166 pound and still slim because muscle has a weight too. It's the ration of body fat and muscle ratio.
I’m not overweight , but I’m off for a long walk after watching this !!!
I too felt this sudden surge of motivation.
That was exactly the same though I had too! Oh, Lord! It seriously freaked me out and I'm nowhere near fat.
You gotta watch something like this every now and then, you know to keep your weight in perspective.
I watched it because no matter how badly I fuck up in life, I'll never fuck up this bad.
Same here!
Same here....
Yup!

She is barely breathing, can’t walk or take a shower not mentioning about a bath and she still claims that there is nothing wrong about her weight.
Lies sweet little lies 🤦🏼♀️
Fat denial is a fatal thing
Ain’t nothing little about that landwhale including her lies...
It's called being in denial
She's so in denial. So typical.
They are the ones dying from Covid. The excess fat presses against their respiratory system causing the breathing issues that kill them when they get colds and flus like Covid.
I don’t understand how you can get by day to day without being able to put on shoes, bend down to pick up something, bend over to feed your pet, etc. What am I missing? How are they surviving?
Where do they get money?
I had a good friend who dined in the all you can eat places. He died early from liver decease!
My Grandmother gave me advice to always wear pants, skirts & dresses that have buttons or zippers and not stretchy fabric. As soon as the button seems a bit tight I know go cut back on calories. Keeps you honest
💚
Smart lady! Good advice.
you could be skinny & start gaining weight though, so in that case losing weight would make no sense
For MOST clothes this works, but I have a pair of stretchy pants that is a bitch to pull on after it’s freshly washed. I’ve been the same jeans size for 8 years so I’m not concerned about my size, but just the wash/dry cycle can change the size of jeans
Great advice! Wise woman.
I also used to be 5'4 and 275 lbs I've lost over a 100 lbs now
Wonderful!! I tip my hat to you!!
You are quite a hottie
May I ask how you went about it and what your inspiration was :)?
@@aritheplebian Started in summer 2018 I weighed in at around 290lbs* (my estimation I didn't start keeping track until I started noticing a significant difference in the way my clothes fit). I stopped getting my period and was generally grossed out by my own reflection. I had pcos symptoms (acne, facial hair, weight gain) it was really effecting my self esteem and health in general. So I looked up diets or hacks that might cure pcos and found keto on youtube and google.
I lost my first initial 60 lbs in a matter of 5 or 6 months because I was very heavy and have steadily been losing weight with moderate exercise and portion control since. I reversed all my symptoms with sensible food choices.
I have my moments where I overeat but I have managed to completely change my lifestyle and outlook on food. I try and stick to low carb but if I take a break I need to be sensible about my food intake. But I usually notice some creep back on. I've started going to the gym recently in addition to at home workouts on youtube (@rachelaust)
I feel amazing healthy and happy these days. Loving yourself makes a world of difference. Which includes being honest with yourself. If I tell myself I'm doing good when I'm binging or overindulging then I'm only setting myself up to fail. I'm a food addict so every day I have to make sure I'm eating the right things in the right amounts. Which got easier as I adjusted my lifestyle to fit with good food and fitness.
For the first time since early childhood I'm not obese! so losing weight was probably the best decision I ever made. Obesity causes a whole slew of health issues that I wasnt ready to have at only 22. And for the first time since jr high I'm in single digit pant sizes and weigh in the low 160s.
I try not to weigh myself too much (I have a series dedicated to that on my channel) but I'm taking a break to get my mind right because it is actually very draining to focus so much on the number. Nowadays I'm focusing on health. 🖤
tl;dr : I was sick and gross so I looked into losing weight to feel better about myself and managed to do so with keto, gym, youtube workouts, water, healthy mindeset.
congratulations
It‘s not about body positivity or feeling allright being obese. It‘s about dying too soon.
the shots of the barbecue going back and forth with the operation was crazy!
Obese kid: "He eats more than me but his metabolism is faster so he doesn't gain weight"
Friend: "I dont eat a lot that's why I let him eat most of my food"

Vladimir Zabedyuk John brower minnoch weighs 1400lbs. This guy isn’t even half that weight he is a very healthy man
But, he dresses nice ! xp.
Diane thinks she dresses well? LMAO. I realize clothing styles are limited at 600 pounds but she looks like she is wearing my grandmother's couch. Except the couch was smaller. That's practically a circus tent.
She's the size of my room's furnishing put toghether 😂 still weighs more than it
She is entitled. It is terrible
My brother sister and me together are 30% less than her
😂😂😂
@Default User I mean, nice casual racism I guess. Aside from that, PAWGs are generally slim thick. They have a fat ass because their waist is small in comparison. Thats kinda.. the point of the word. It's speaking to an extreme hourglass or pear shaped figure, not an obese one
I used to be fat and it gave me heart problems/diabetes type 2 and colon cancer.
I am still fat however I am working on it. I am 5 foot 6 inches and I was 350 pounds. and speaking for only myself, I used to say i was happy with myself and my size was great. I am so glad I stopped lying to myself. I have lost 80 pounds and still have 100 to go but I feel so much better.
I was an obese kid raised in a household of unhealthy eating habits on both extremes. My mother raised me to be ashamed of eating, and obviously I developed an eating disorder. Seeing the interactions between Tiffany and her son is striking to me because it’s such a positive, healthy relationship. To hear her supporting him in his future, to truly wanting what’s best for him, to taking a life-threatening route to secure a place in that future, it’s truly just so packed with love. Then him being able to laugh and open up around his mother with healthy boundaries (“what girl you like?” “That’s confidential”) man. Heartwarming. I hope they’re doing great nowadays.
“im comfortable in my size”
*dies two years later*
She dead?
@@rmorton8281 yeah this was filmed in 2004 and she died two years later due to weight issues

She has delusions of grandeur
Diane passed in 2006 at 44
Oh how sad.......so just 2 years after this was filmed then??
How do you know? Did you know her?
At least the kid is active! Children nowadays wanna play video games and watch TV. When I was young, I was outside until those street lights came on.
I found Diane’s obituary online, she died in 2006, just two years after this documentary was made. And she wondered why her family were concerned about her weight, her parents had to bury their child and they could see it coming for years but she thought they had the problem.
Yeah, she was in deep denial, bordering on delusional as well.
If she was buried, I bet it cost the parents a pretty penny for the coffin and larger plot..
At this point, it was a slow suicide.
That’s so sad. Thank you for the update.
@@jaggirl don't be so rude! keep yoour mean comments for nasty people!! you fucking idiot!
That 600lb women is so miserable she can't even breath
Meghan Tomlinson I agree!!
She sure is makes me feel sad for her .
@Amber Wallace-Mustufina How come she is killing herself she is addicted to food .She had every excuse in the book she can't breath she can't walk and probably has not seen her cookie for years .And I bet she gets disability for being obese.
@@jackiemarini3203 she's not killing herself. She has been dead for sometime now.
@Amber Wallace-Mustufina Because not being able to put your shoes on or clean your butt is not a happy life. That apron of belly can get infected and rancid underneath, besides who is paying for her lifestyle? I bet it's the taxpayers. I am a little overweight but everyday I strive not to get to a point where I would require caretakers to clip my toenails.
When your poor health and care becomes a burden on others, you have a problem and what you are okay with no longer matters. It is ignorant and selfish.
It really doesnt matter if big is beautiful, it's simply not healthy.
Am I the only one who watch these videos just to feel good about myself and be healthy
The same here 😁
🙋♀️
Same hahaha
I weigh 67kg currently and want to get back down to my normal weight of 50 kg and these "My 600lb life" shows are my inspiration to stay on track!
I watch cause is a freak show, gimme the creeps, but is not me or anyone i know is not even sick or ill plp just lazy fu*s so i dont feel guilty.
Diane died 2 years later. She made me a bit cross. She boasted how good she looked and how comfortable she was in her own skin but, she couldn’t put on her own shoes, couldn’t walk and when she talked she seemed to be gasping for breath.
That's called "denial" and it is a world epidemic .
Oh no!
Fat is not being pretty, fat or obese. Besides, it's very bad for your health
What a weird kind of suicide...she did it to herself. And its not about beauty as she said "I love how I look" it's about health....Im not shocked she passed so early.
Good riddance.
Being fat is not fun.
As a once badly fat borderline obese 140kg 64yr old man i ended up in hospital suddenly with Stroke threatening extremely high blood pressure no previous medical issues ever. That's when they found advanced untreated Diabetes, advancing heart disease & a condition called Myasthenia Gravis. I had to lose the weight or really suffer with high chance of death from heart attack. Today i have lost 43kgs & watch what i eat. Amazed how i can now move around & enjoy exercise for the 1st time in decades. Being fat you will soon 100% arrive at that point you go to hospital!
Congrats on the weight loss ❤
“Just because I am fat does not mean I am not attractive.”
At this point, she should not lose weight for physical appearance; she needs to lose weight because of her health. If you gain so much weight to the point where you are crippled, you need to lose weight.
Sure, health is the most important thing. But also she is so fat that she is unattractive.
Health is beauty. The physical appearance comes from inside: your skin, your smell... Less of her problems is she looks pretty, she should care more about not dying in a couple of years
NOBODY BLAME THE FOOD INDUSTRIES nobody , WE are addicted with sugar not FOOD, THEY ARE PROTECTING THE FOOD INDUSTRIES THE FOOD industries are killing HUMANITY..
Youre attraktive to food sellers, surgeons and undertakers.
@@elviscesar8021 food industry wouldn't be selling sugary foods if people weren't buying them. Unless you live in a food desert there is no reason to blame the food industry especially in a fire world country. They aren't forcing people to buy junk food, there is a ton of information out there to help you loose weight or eat healthy.
“I don’t mind it because I can still do things” was my dad’s excuse for not losing weight. Then on New Year’s Eve last year he went to bed after midnight and never woke up. How am I supposed to celebrate the New Year this year knowing that at this time last year my dad was dead in bed? I wonder how many of these folks are dead now?
PLEASE if you are struggling with your food and exercise choices but give in because you "can still do things" don't let that be your excuse.
So sorry for your loss and you find some comfort knowning he's not suffering. And i was wondering the same thing how many actually still living.
I'm sorry for your loss. 🧡 Remember that your Dad made a choice. You must make a choice also - to live your best life and to honour him!
PF680 I’m so sorry for your loss. My Dad died an unexpected death at an early age too. He was a marathon runner and avid weight trainer. It happens to all of us in time. Was your Dad’s death related to his obesity? It sounds like you’re saying it was.
Yvonne. Stewart Apparently Diane is dead.
@@Dominiqueuqinimod actually i was really referring to the guy that goes to all you could eat places. I'm sure she must be dead if she did not want help.

This program made me want to exercise briefly. Just casually just did 10 push-ups and collapsed in exhaustion. Totally normal reaction this video 😂
@Kevin O haha, during & after quarantine I am XD
They definitely do ive lost 16.8 lbs since May still have 6 to 10 pounds to go im not overweight anymore but I want to be smaller. I've been on both ends overweight and extremely underweight and was so unhappy with both 😪 😞
I'm honestly confused about what decade we are in here.
It's from the mid 2000s
its from 2004
I believe this is The Decade of Decadence.
feels like the 70s or 80s... but with fat mode on
The Roaring Fuckturds - especially now with the fat acceptance and other furries
Children are being taught the wrong lessons. Boy says it is his slower metabolism that makes him fat when his friend is not. So not his fault. The next comment from the friend, "I don't mind giving him all my extra food." The overweight kid seems really nice but if he doesn't learn that eating a lot more food than his friend is the main reason he is fat it will lead to a lifetime of blaming all his problems on somebody or something else.
I thought the football coach was that fitness infomercial guy with the ponytail!! Woopsie.. 😮

@@zuriirose Its a joke. She expects everyone else to join into her own delusion but facts are facts and her body cant adapt to "nothing is wrong" and because of that she died soon after the docu was made. She literally ate herself to death and stayed in constant denial.
