      He is a national treasure. He tells it like it is, no sugar coating it. Anybody who subscribes to the ideology of “healthy at every size” or supports the fat acceptance movement should be mocked and jeered everywhere they go. You know most of those people would push a button that made them a healthy normal weight if they could. Same with all the fat influencers on toktik or whatever it is. Deep down, they are not happy. They would trade that weight with a healthy, normal weight individual any day of the week.

      @julie Anne That wouldn’t help them because they aren’t learning a healthier lifestyle! Weight loss medication is a short term drug not a long term drug therefore as soon as they are pulled off the medication they have learned nothing and will just get right back to where they were! Also some of the patients are not eating just when hungry they eat even when not hungry so that wouldn’t really help! It’s like an Iv drug user it’s not only the actual drug, it’s the high they get even when just putting a needle in their arm so it’s not always the food alone, it’s the act of the motions!

      I always have been so confused about how anybody could get this huge. I went through a period of time where I was consistently gaining 2-3 pounds a month. One day I weighed in at 208. I don't know why it was that particular number, but that was the point where I was just like "That's it. No more. I refuse to ever see any number higher than 208 on this scale" I like to say that 208 was my, "Oh hell naw!" weight. I refused to gain another ounce.
      So with these people it's like okay, I understand getting caught up with life and getting careless with calorie intake and lazy about exercise and I know weight can creep up on someone. But 600? At 300 you didn't say, "Whoa. 300?! Holy shit, I need to get ahold of this!" At 400? 500? Like damn, you can gain faster than most people realize but it had to take a long time to get up that high. At no point did you think it was getting out of hand? Like why do they wait until they are so fat that they can't stand up? Baffling.

    The husband as well as the family enabled her. So sad!! No wonder she got into the predicament that she currently got into with her health. I'm a woman of size. I've lost weight because of an eating disorder because I was over 200 pounds (I'm now somewhere in the 180's). This aside, this woman is looking at early death, Diabetic complications, etc. This doctor is definitely not messing about with telling her what things are in regard to her status. I definitely wish her well.

    I have seen that a lot of people do not understand what she have meant by "taking a break"
    She meant it by emotionally.
    Food addiction usually starts when there are overwhelming amount of negative emotions in a person's life that are constantly around. They are either very sad or very angry all the time or the mix of both.
    This is what most commonly trauma does.
    So to basically save themselves from breaking down mentally they try to distract themselves with something. She was in stress and in pain and the only way she can release that(she was not thought of anything else, not shown a good example or guided) is that she eats.
    This is what she meant by "taking a break". Taking a break mentally from the suffering. She is distracting herself. But the bad thing is that she is doing it in a way that not just not helps but slowly kills her.

      She had the 3rd highest BMI ever on the show. There have been 115-ish people so far and out of all 115 she's #3. (BMI is a score calculated from a person's weight relative to their height. So if you have 2 people who are both exactly 600lbs, but 1 person is 6 feet tall while the other is 5 feet 6 inches tall, the 5'6" person would have a higher BMI. Even though both are 600lbs.)
      Shannon's BMI was like 139, I believe. Fun fact for anyone who cares: the honor of the highest BMI in "My 600 Pound Life" history goes to season 8's Joyce Del Viscovo. At the start of her episode, Joyce weighed in at an unbelievable 758lbs at a height of just 4 feet 11 inches. Her BMI was 160. Sean Milliken was #2. His highest weight was 1,003lbs.

These problems often do come with emotional baggage that lead to a long string of bad health-altering choices and believe me when I tell you it's a lifelong fight to get better and stay better.

I went keto , lifting weights. 7 years later, I have a 3 year old toddler, my blood sugar is normal and I have managed to keep most of the weight off ( i have the pregnancy fat which I am in the process of losing) but for the most part, I am doing well though I have binges now and then when I have depressive episodes.

    This, sadly, is what true addiction looks like. You know what you're doing is killing you, and that every time you succumb to your addiction you're sliding that little bit closer to your own death. You know what you need to do to stop, and you desperately want to beat your addiction and live a normal, healthy life again - for you AND your loved ones. But when those cravings kick in, they shut all of your logical brain down and you can't think past the moment you get that addictive substance into your body, to quieten down the demons screaming for it in your head. The logical brain only comes back online once that's happened - and then it's too late, the damage is done. And all you've got left is to hope and pray you can be stronger the next time - without much evidence to suggest you can.

      Everything but the will to live. My biggest problem when it comes to the patients is, in the beginning they always says Dr. Now is gonna give them surgery and that's how they're gonna lose weight. They just expect to go and get a date and it's like no, this us a process and you are not fit. They recognize the warning signs they just want others to fix the issue so they can get what they want. That's why they get so upset at first check up because they thought dr. Now would just take any old progress and see that it's "not working" and opt for surgery instead. I feel bad up until a point. The trauma in their childhood years is never their fault, and I mean that, but what they do as conscious adults is just that, conscious. For 15 years they say they can't take it and they don't want their children to get the bad habits but it's far too late. This show reminds me that I'm the only person that can make my life more positive and everyone else is just support and a resource at times.

    What exactly is she taking a break from? What is she pacing herself for? All she’s doing is riding and annoying her husband and father. She claims she can’t do very much but when they pull into a fast food parking lot she sure does perk up enough to order a few combos! Why can’t she order one oversized combo and call it a day? There’s no way I would look at my body transforming like this and continue to eat the way she does. If she skipped just one of her nine meals per day it would at least be a starting point and she would start losing weight.

    It’s really sad to see someone throw their life away . It took like 7 people to help her and they were struggling to get pads on her.. it’s just so sad

    I feel angry with close family members of these extremely overweight people who give in so easily and supply them with any food they ask for! Always fried,fattening stuff….I say close family members, but I did see one person ordering huge takeaway orders that were delivered to their beds! It’s either comfort eating, or something in their brains telling they HAVE TO eat like this….it’s sad because at early stages when still mobile they could have had the motivation to walk more….now they are too large to even safely have surgery to remove some body mass or gastric band etc, as I’m sure the anaesthetist would refuse to give aesthetic in case they died during surgery .
    It will be extremely costly, but the option left is to keep them in medical care on the correct diet, and where they cannot access the fat
    Foods they always want…families will not be allowed to smuggle food in.
    It must be very frustrating for the medical people, who can get these patients to lose weight in their care, but know as soon as they leave they will head for McDonald’s etc. such a dilemma. But obviously this ladies heart won’t last the strain much longer…very sad.

    Food addiction is a terrible thing. The fact that someone can eat themselves to over 700lbs and not be able to stop or want to change their lifestyle because it would mean denying themselves the thing they rely on for everything... it must be so hard to successfully come back from that. God bless Dr Now, he should be enjoying his retirement in a blinged out mansion but he's going to be tending to these people til he croaks.

      I'm seeing a dangerous number of comments mentioning "food addiction" lately. There's no such thing. These people use eating as a habit to try to feel better, but there is no actual addiction here. If food was an addictive substance, all humans would be badly addicted because it is a necessity we eat daily to survive. Which would instantly form addiction. This person just has a really bad habit of eating a lot, and she eats when she feels bad, but she is not suffering from an "addiction" and she won't have cold sweats, shakes, and withdrawals if she eats less food, nor will she go through anything a substance abusive person would go through. She uses food as a crutch and an excuse for her depression.

      @@empty-sky A craving is not an addiction. Addiction comes with serious side effects and major withdrawal symptoms. You can want sugary fatty foods and soda really really bad, but you aren't going to suffer headaches, fatigue, cold sweats, delirium, shaking, etc. if you instead eat a chicken salad and drink a lemon water. There's literally no such thing as food addiction.
