[@JessieBanana]

@@RankinMsP As a domestic violence advocate you would be amazed at how many women I worked with who had their first child as a teen and when the mention the age of their abuser, and I am doing the math for the DOB of the child I am like WTF. It’s such a common form of abuse. I don’t know how this isn’t flagged, when it’s documented on the birth certificate. Prosectution of statutory rape is pretty much completely left to the parents of the child/teen. So those vulnerable kids who come from abusive homes, parents who are addicted to substances, parents who may have sexually abused them as well, fundamentalist religions who want to sweep this under the rug are just left out to dry.

Desiree will prob maintain that weight with how she lives, but not gain. I do hope she loses weight and also gets healthier.

It's not something inherited, it's just simply eating more calories than you're burning. If you burn more calories than you put in, no matter who your parents are, you will lose weight.

As soon as I was better and able to exercise I swapped all soda and fruit juice for water I started to eat 3 meals a day at set times and I walked 10,000 steps a day (several times I was out at 23:00 walking around the block to get my 10,000 steps) and I hit the gym 4 times a week and it took me 15 month to lose 125lb and I’ve been the same weight give or take a couple of pound for 30 years.

Disgusting!

[@billlannister7965]

Of the "600lb" people on television this woman has the best understanding of her situation and her family. This makes me sympathize with her much more than usual manipulator type personality.

[@audreybrown4672]

I was thinking that myself just the bluntness of her own self awareness and monotonous tone over the usual whining one was refreshing so makes it easier to empathize. She’s not really using her past as an excuse for how things turned out but just giving the run down of the timeline the producers asked for. I.e. “Were you ever sexually abused as a child?”

[@flowersandcandyflowersandc9093]

Do you people hear this ? she says she was in a relationship at 13 years old with a 27 year old man. That alone is abuse but she went along with it.

[@angelic5374]

May God bless her daughter for being an amazing, helpful child. She's such a blessing . Same goes to her husband. He looks so saint

I’m friends with her on Facebook. She’s just a terrible human. So mean, so many people help her, but all she does is say the world is against her because she meets the consequences of her actions

[@nailslacquer]

She reminds me of my husbands ex and this just confirmed my suspicions lol.

I love her honesty. She has an addiction due to trauma. She's not trying to pass it off as something desirable like being a "big, beautiful, woman".

YEah she admits that she feel like a burden to her daughter and regrets not being able to take part in her grandkids life.

[@Leeuwtje1979]

What a beautiful, kind daughter ♥

[@iTranscendx]

3:48 - I’m sure Desiree just LOVES being bossed around while she slaves over her “disabled” ungrateful mom. Mom is disabled by her own doing, and she is certainly not thankful nor grateful for all her daughter does for her. If she cares so much about being “bed grandma” & how her granddaughter sees her, maybe she should give a bit of an effort to change her situation. Instead she chooses to be a toxic drag on the whole family. 🤔💀😳😭 260lbs at 13. Dating a 27 year old man and had a baby with him who she gave for adoption. Why did no one bat an eye? What!? Why was he not investigated? Everyone around her drinks because they can’t stand what she’s made their lives into. She manipulates her family into caring for her while she just continues her toxic lifestyle, making no effort to lose weight. I’d drink too.

"food is something I could control, while everything my life was uncontrollable." this is a similar mindset to anorexia. How could someone come to such a paradoxical conclusion? what food addiction or aversion demonstrates is a complete lack of control.

Both the daughter and mom can stand to lose weight. Also if she feels so bad for her daughter having to help take care of her why doesn't she lose weight and change it???? The daughter is at least 100 lbs overweight herself
