I’m amazed that so many patients on this show can afford the amount of food they eat, especially the large quantities.
TLC pays them for doing the show , why do you think they are willing to be filmed naked as large as they are I just couldn't do that I do have some dignity left they take it all to do that story !! I'm not big big but if I was I couldn't hell no !!!
@@rhondahicks5317 TLC didn't make them 600lbs, they were doing this behavior long before TLC.
@@DougBurgum4VP thank you, common sense ain’t so common!
@@rhondahicks5317 It’s easy to say that until you’re in their position. These people are addicts, no different to drug addicts. When you’re that addicted you no longer care about shame or dignity or anything like that, all you care about is your next fix. NOTHING else will matter.
Just listen to the way he talks about his need for food and how he can’t stop eating even though he wants to. It is literally the exact same thing an alcoholic pr drug addict will say about alcohol or heroin or whatever else.
@@DougBurgum4VP rt they were eating before they contacted Dr. Now
I shouldn’t have laughed, but when Dr. Now said, “well they can deliver salads” I lost it
⚰️ SCREAMING
savage
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He doesn't take shit from these people & I love it lmfao
Dr. Now don't play and he shouldn't. I love it.
“As soon as breakfast is over, I’m already thinking about lunch” 😆😂😭🤣
Lmao😂😂
Thats me and im normal weight...lol
Bro a savage
@@ericantone8709 I used to be until the gmo food era took over the food supply.
Nothing wrong with GMO. The problem is the ultra processed foods and sugary foods
Addiction is a hell of a thing! Stay strong my guy. I wish nothing, but success for you.
Food addiction is the symptom - not the disease. The root cause is depression, which itself is caused by many other things. It has many layers.
@@celestialknight2339you don’t think there’s a biological drive to overeat in some people that isn’t simply driven by emotions?
@@russell6877 Of course there are, but that’s not the majority. We’re talking about these people here in particular, and the vast majority of them have crippling depression (some by their own admission) which is driven by things like childhood abuse, neglect, fear, self-insecurity, etc. Very seldom does someone get to 600+ lbs just because they genuinely like food, with no other layer of mental illness behind it.
It’s like asking whether homeless people like to do narcotics “just because” or whether they were driven to it by something deeper in the first place. The answer is obviously the latter, since people in a desperate and hopeless position will look to ‘quick-fixes’ that can help them feel good in the short term, but not fix their root problem. Well the same thing applies to food for these people. It’s just a coping mechanism for some deeper problem. It’s the temporary bandaid to a gushing wound.
@@celestialknight2339you put this perfectly
Like an onion made of self-loathing
I gotta hand it to this guy. A lot of patients try to sugar coat their habits. He's completely honest with Dr. Now and himself.
I noticed that too, he’s honest about his bad habits.
believe me, if he could sugar coat his habits, he would!
Yeah, and I like that he gets up by himself, I think he’s gonna be alright ❤
He was honest
@@andy42x u not slick 😂😂
How does he pay for all this while on disability? Delivery is expensive as hell. And adds up quickly.
You beat me to the punch line, but now my question is, if he’s buying this much food, where does he get his money from? Who is helping him pay for it? And if somebody’s helping pay for it, why haven’t they realize there’s an issue. And then this man’s case a huge issue.
Many of them on this show live like that, they spend a whole of of money on food, they live to eat.
@@carsfabio they don’t really invest in self care like haircuts, new clothes, entertainment. All their money goes to food.
Ikr. Money money money. Person on disability doesn't get that much. Someone is helping him out.
Aye, thought same with various others tbf
At least he’s honest and he seems like a good dude
But he got himself into this, he just places blame on food or company.
He's not good
"Ok, is that all?" Ma'am he just ordered the entire menu.
I like that he doesn’t complain, whenever he gets tired from walking he rest but ALWAYS gets back up. I believe that he will lose the weight ❤
He complained many times in this video. Pay attention.
@@ForeskinDistributoryour point?? He gets back up and he’s honest about his addiction
@@dessertrayyy 🤡
@@ForeskinDistributoryou enjoy being negative ??
Yessssss and he continued to say he doesn't need help he has to do it🎯❤
His cousin is such a supportive and loving Angel. Not an ounce of judgment in her. He’s very lucky to have her.
@@xzed6394 so are you lol at least mine are positive.
And shes lucky with that rack of hers
Nice on bro, got ‘em
if people judged him harder he wouldn't be in this mess. You all just want everyone to cheer on as you kill yourself and not say anything. Fools.
That’s probably why he’s fat. She’s an enabler. Some times you need people to judge you
Nah thats wild af. Im busting my ass trying to lose 20 lbs and then i see this 😢😢. It could always be worse man. Can never imagine being that large and lacking mobility. That so sad that he gets tired going DOWN the stairs. I hope it gets better for him. Keep grinding bro!
What surprises me the most are people heavier than this who still have mobility. Shows you how resilient the human body can actually be.
Have you lost the 20?
I've lost 10 pounds and am working on losing 20 more. My only thing is that I love raw vegetables but can barely stand fruit.
He’s lucky to have the support he has. He has the humility and mindset to get started. Hope he gets better
“They deliver salads too” lol savage AF
*orders a bacon salad with mayo*
😂😂😂
What an idiot. Salads won’t do anything for you
Don’t forget the box of ding dongs
The moment he said this I came str8 to the comments 😂
Cheyenne. What a freaking sweetheart. Zero judgment. 100% support.
No seriously her genuine kindness made my eyes water
Judgement is needed
right????? we all need someone like her in our lives. what an angel
@@jamesprall9964 judgement is not needed from her. He’s going to seek help. It’s not like he’s not asking for help.

Listen, I come from a family skinny to obese as you get older. I hit 25 and shot up to 294 at 5’4. Now at 38, I’m 181, where I feel comfortable at. Joint pain and arthritis is no joke, especially when being overweight.

@@ricekrispessss dosent stop her from being sweet
@@ricekrispessss Lol. It didn't sound malicious. I do think she has a mean streak in her though and I hope he recognizes that before she attaches herself to him and really lays in. But he seems very strong minded.

He’s very well spoken about his addiction
Very crazy actually, as an alcoholic replace food with booze or any other substance and the way he describes not being able to say no is EXACTLY how any other substance or addiction feels
@@dwewe8913 yup, i understand where he's coming from because I'm pretty sure I'm past 320 again and it's taxing on nearly everything. 😑 I don't even participate in being around family anymore (for years now) everything just feels like it's too much-- overstimulated by the thought honestly.

Can we appreciate the cousin and friend who sticking with him on this journey ❤
I have been thinking about gastric bypass since 2014 on and off. In 2018 around November I weighed myself and I had gotten up to 518 pounds. By then my mom had saw me, and she was scared that I was gonna die. My little niece told me that she was scared that she would lose her only uncle. That weekend I couldn’t even walk up the stairs in a parking garage I knew I needed to get help. That’s when I finally looked in the gastric bypass they started the process in January 2019. Since January 2019 I’ve lost 318 pounds.
Congratulations
I want to get weight loss surgery but I'm scared
That is amazing! Congratulations on accomplishing that huge goal and working hard to make positive changes. I’m sure your family is so proud of you. Wishing you all the best!
Yayyy🎉😊
🎉 congratulations
I think this guy is one of the most honest ones yet. No manipulation or ego comes from him.
He doesn’t have a ego because he ate that too

@@kiddykid7552 they can’t control that most of these are from trauma
@@kiddykid7552 He needs lessons from you. You sound very enlightened
@@kiddykid7552 it’s a mental thing as you can see by the video. And at least he is trying to do something. That’s the same as trying to quit crack. Only thing is you can’t stop eating because you need to eat.
@@shamf9672 yeah, it's a vicious form of addiction. Other substances hijack the dopamine, but that system is specifically adapted to make us seek food. I can't imagine the self-loathing a person is feeling when they can't stop because their bodies literally need the thing that's killing them.
For everyone asking how the people on the show can afford all the food they eat, consider how much money they DON'T spend on many things that the average person does, i.e. owning a car, going to socials events, buying new clothes. Their budget mostly boils down to rent/mortgage, and food.
EDIT: In the first sentence I meant to say "...afford all the food they eat ON DISABILITY", I'm well aware that the taxpayers are unfortunately bankrolling this lifestyle.
Don’t forget about utilities for rent and mortgage and utilities usually add up to one or 2000 dollars
They probably get extra assistance like rental etc
Sounds like my budget,rent,utilities and food(grocery)
@@Kaylaaa98 exactly. he gets 900 bucks in disability a month. food stamps.
The government pays for it
I hope this young man can help himself he seems such a sweet guy....I wish James the best

@@brittneywitherspoon8530 People who really love you will clown the shit out of you if they think that’s what it takes to make you face the facts.
Trusting people who sugar coat things hurts you in the long run.
But when she called out his ashy feet….
@@RMA8159 Exactly! The cousin was low key trolling the whole time, but a lot of people miss this type of behavior when it's subtle/passive.
This man took full accountability.. I genuinely hope this guy is doing better in life. Best wishes to this man and his journey💯💯
Nah, he was just trying to sound like he wants to change. He’s not legit wanting to change. Did you see that breakfast ? This guy will lose his mind without that amount of food
@@number36420 Nah bro , idk bout you but i can hear it in his tone. That man wants change. I wish they do a update on bro so we can see for sure

YesI'm rooting for you James too.
Could we introduce this man to crack?!?!
*elephant heart *
Good maybe..strong heart..not so much
This. He's a good man with an addiction. Honestly it's worse than drugs, gambling, etc. Because you need food to live.
Genuinely feel sadness for any human who's life spirals out of their control like this. No one deserves to live a life like that
Yes and at the same time he did that too himself .. yes it’s a sickness and mental disorder also .. but he did play a major role in his own movie at the same time.. every adult must learn how to control yourself !
I mean.. If you eat yourself to death you kinda deserve to die. Same with any addiction. Its on you.
It’s self control. No one shoved carbs and sugars down his mouth.
natural selection at work
they deserve better? according to who?
Not according to Gd, and Nature's Law. You think you know better than those?

Hearing him explain his feelings about food -- so clear this is an uncontrollable addiction. As bad as meth or crack. Any successfully recovering addict will tell you total abstinence is the only way. You can't just do "a little." But we gotta eat.
My prayers for this man and others in the same boat.
You don't have to eat junk food addiction is a choice .
@@ericrivera8410 a person could eat 5000 calories a day of healthy food and still gain weight. You don't seem to understand the addiction.
@@ericrivera8410 Exactly! I think if a person wants SSI benefits because their fat, then the government should put them in an institution for obesity and show them how to lose weight, by not eating constantly, once they've lost the weight, put them in an apt and maybe help them with job skills or not, and tell them you're on your own now, go to work and have a good life, and no more government chk
@@tammyn133 it might be an addiction but it's a choice, to eat 3 meals a day and live a normal life or eat constantly and live on the streets, none of these ppl should receive free stuff.
@@debrahanks1934 that is true. None of them should receive free stuff unless they genuinely have an uncontrollable disability imo.

I used to be much bigger than I am now. What got me started was just doing arm presses. Once I got comfortable with that, I started doing other stuff while sitting, like rowing and biking etc. You got this.
James has the urge to change he's life . Even though he's eating, he's really trying to walk and no bother them too much. That effort tells alot . He can do it
And the fact that he didn't try to pass any blame from himself shows he's ready to own it. He's got what it takes. Just hope he does it before it's too late!

I feel the same, I think about it constantly. I get to 100 kg but I stopped. I am on a diet and I am hungry af, but so what? I don’t want to immobile and sick. They can be hungry as well, right? I am fucking addicted to food, but I stopped. I eat fruits instead of sweets, a lot of veggies, 1500 kcal per day. Only water as a drink, tea on the weekends, meat on rare occasions, always grilled. Is this possible if you’re addicted to food? Yes, everything is possible, it’s up to you. No one gets kcal from the air, they come with food. But I live in Poland and Poland doesn’t let you play a victim when you are killing yourself. We don’t sponsor a great, lazy life to these lazy idiots.

When I first moved alone I had lots of trouble not ordering food, I convinced myself that I had no time to cook since my job was very demanding and I ended up extremely tired, my metabolism is reeeeeally fast and I got a lot of help from my close ones to stop ordering food so I really understand how hard it is to have the money and making it a habit.

James hit the lottery and is spending the winnings on game day specials and steak house pamcakes.
Ayooo “as soon as breakfast is over I’m already thinking about lunch “ smh man
This is actually very sad to see. People don’t realize he’s not eating like that because he’s always hungry, he’s doing it because he hates himself to the point that he has nothing he looks forward to throughout his day, so eating is his one source of happiness and to pass the time. And because he’s hit rock bottom, he doesn’t feel guilt about eating, in his mind, he’s already doomed so he might as well keep going. Good for him for having the urge to finally want to make a change though. Addiction goes both ways. Once he sticks with his diet and exercise routine and starts seeing results, it’ll motivate him to get addicted to that as well.
you are correct. the seratonin he gets from enjoying the taste of the food is what feeds the addiction. when you are depressed and food is the only thing you can control and enjoy, that's what you turn to. i never got near 600, but i defnitely got big enough at one point.
true, food is the ONLY source of dopamine in his life
Cruel
As Lola said you are looking for purpose, its not hunger..
Feel sorry for the guy. He seems very pleasant and polite, saying please and thank you.
He's clearly an addict, he even says he feels 'anxiety' waiting for his food to arrive, exactly like an addict waiting for their fix. Wishing him better health in future.
Yeah noticed a lot them in other videos don’t have basic manners
As an addict the way he describes the "first bite" is relatable, tricky stuff
Can't figure out why they don't treat their anxiety. They don't have to live the same scripts they keep talking.
@@user-lq1hu4rm3v Speaking as someone who was, and to a large extent still is, a prisoner of anxiety, it's because it's much easier to self-medicate than it is to work on yourself (although my medicine was alcohol and cigarettes, rather than food).
Food and alcohol are cheaply available in the western world, and they make you feel better instantly. The more you do it, the more you hate yourself, and the more you hate yourself, the more you want to 'punish' yourself by making it worse, and so on. There's a line in the movie Trainspotting, where the heroin addict says "Piling misery on misery, propelling myself with longing towards the day when it would finally be over", and that's very true of addicts, I think.
Whereas going to a therapist, talking about your feelings, your pain, and doing something about it, is very difficult, particularly for people who have anxiety.
Prayers up for him!🙏🏿
he passed
1:58 "there's nothing worse than coming to the end of a meal" thats how deep this shit goes in his head
He said they can deliver salads 😂😂😂
I truly feel for this guy. I don't get his addiction, but I feel for him. Hopefully he gets the help he needs. Sounds like a really good dude.
Very kind words.
Usually with situations such as his, there's deep untreated, unresolved trauma. For many, food can be a coping mechanism for their past and present pain. Mental, physical, and emotional.
@@cityhawk soo dang true.. alot of people have been eating food for comfort a long time in history.
His new transformation was incredible
Being overweight is like a curse.
He's exhausted walking DOWN half a flight of stairs... I just feel for the brother 🥺🥺🥺
😂😂😂😂
It's tough. Every time he moves it's like a bodybuilder lifting a pr. I feel sad for him
bruh imagine being late for work and this guy is on the stairwell
You’ll have to pole vault over him!
😂
When he unashamedly asked to order the game day family feast I legit spit out my drink 😂
I can so relate to James, when he says the food blocks out the pain , the outside world of ridicule and depression. Seeing him with pain on the stairs and walking, is something I battle with daily. It's a struggle and hopefully at some point I can find my courage
It all starts with you and how determined you are , your more then capable good luck !
🤞🤞🤞🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌
Food makes me sick and idk why :(
Food doesn’t block out the pain it makes the pain worse
Your lying to yourself to feed your greed
Dr Now said we do not need to eat everyday and we only need to eat once a day, maybe twice, HE'S HAD 9 K PATIENTS. take away James' food and see how ''polite'' he is.
His breakfast, I haven't eaten that amount all week combined I'm in shock
Same. Incredible.
I could not put all that food away if I wanted to. It's too many breads for one sitting
That's enough for a large family
I never eat breakfast or lunch. Worn I work 16hr shifts, I also go without dinner.
Last night I had 2 fish tacos, 2 churros, seltzer water, and a quesadilla.
I threw up by 2am😫
He probably needs to cut down on the carbs to reduce the food addiction
Real stuff about food blocking all the pain out of the world and just making you happy for those moments😓
Poor guy! Hopefully, he’s successful in his journey.
I’m nowhere close to this guys weight (210lb) but hearing him talk about how he feels comfort when eating really hits home with me. I really struggled for a while with food addiction
I tear’d up listening to this guy at the beginning, I’m not 600pounds but I definitely would say I’m addicted to food and everything he was saying just hit home for me and I felt so sorry for him, I’m lucky enough to have the will power and motivation to exercise which is why I’m not big like many people but I definitely relate to the food addiction side of it and it was making me sad for him because I empathised with his feelings to be honest
As soon as I hit 143 I reversed my eating habits. All Glory to God. It’s always annoying ignoring those hunger pains but now I can’t even finish a regular plate of food. I forced myself to last night cause it was so good
@@successx4842 You're not a professional and know nothing of food disorders or addiction. Your comment was definitely not needed.
Tommy good on you for being honest. I pray your journey is a healing and motivated one Remember it doesn't matter when you start , It only matter when you Finish. Love to hear about your progress when you do start. Do well. All the best.
@@larajones175 Thank you for your kindness :) hope your doing well
I also teared up. 😕
When he said “game day family feast” I fell out😂
they do deliver salads lol I love this doctor
This guy actually seems like he has a good heart and can change. Not everyone on this show is like that.
Actually, I think his heart is pretty bad. Enlarged. And in critical risk of an infarction.
@@Here4theComments9was looking for this comment 😂
@@GymGuyJoe I’m here for you, guy. 😏😂
The strength of these people and their bones to support and move that immense weight is damn impressive. Wish him all the best, he’s a strong man.
The human body is insanely strong and truly amazing
All the best to him
Their bodies can't support the immense weight thats why they all have mobility issues and die young
He’s not strong it’s the human body that’s strong, he needs to lose weight it’s not impressive at all
@@JustSendMeLocation wow, so brave of you to shit on someone who is already down. I bet your an incredible perfect person yourself, I am honored to be in your presence if only for a fleeting moment on RUclips. Bless you beautiful stranger.
At least he was honest about his habits. A lot of patients aren’t willing to admit what they are doing wrong.
