Story Time - Whats it Like Being So Fat? Morbidly obese, super fat

[@RiceOfTheThirdWorld]

i started meth when i was 13, cocaine when i was 15, ecstasy when i was 18. by the age of 22 my life was a complete mess because of addiction, i smoked heavy and drank heavy. but when i met my wife at the age of 23 i backed off a lil bit, starting to say no every once in a while. when my son was born i was 24. from the moment i laid eyes on him i decided to stop the addiction. it wasn't easy. but i made my son and my wife my motivation. and i did it without even going to rehab. then after i became sober i started to eat well. i was still drinking and smoking heavy at this stage. i ate so fucking well that by the time i reach 31 i became fat. then my wife started to look at me in a funny way. looked me in the eye and said "if you don't lose weight you are never gonna see me again". she meant that my life is in danger because i couldn't even go upstairs without catching my breath. so the next day i walked into the gym when i picked up my first dumbell it felt like i went to church for the first time and those weights my bible and the PT was the preacher. that day i quit smoking then started to back off drinking. it was gruel because of all the addiction smoking was the hardest one to quit. my wife and i used to fight when i got cranky because of craving for cigarettes. i left my kid and my wife with her consent of course for 3 months, i rented a small room. there i battled the craving alone so i wouldn't yell at my wife or anybody anymore. with that and constantly going to the gym without fail 5 days a week 2 hrs a day. now i am 32 and i am in the best shape of my life. anybody who sees me won't even notice the hell i have been through. you have to want it bad enough if you want to turn your life around.

[@wowso4]

Wow what a inspirational story that is awesome! You should be so proud of yourself I know this girl who was a drug addicted and she went cold turkey too, she's now married and has two kids and very happy it takes a lot of work but you can do anything if you set to your mind to it best of luck to you.

[@karencarney7595]

Me too. I'm in the process of getting my abs back. My body looks fucking awesome . Feel better, and the changes are drastic. Wasn't fat, but chunky. I just need the booze to stop completely instead of 2 shots a day. But I'm exercising constantly, went lifting which really got me motivated. N I didn't eat much when i was a heavy drinker

At school there's this guy names Diego and he's about 200 lbs. But every time during PE we always cheer him on, and for the first time on our mile he finally got under 20 min and it keeps on getting shorter and now I'm really glad that we did so that his life should be easier. And I'm not saying thank me I'm just giving a example for the bullies out there

Thanks for sharing this with us and the rest of the world. My wife's friends husband was a big guy and died a few years back and It was hell for him to just walk across the parking lot. I miss him, SUPER funny and SMART like you. You get a million suggestions but I'll just throw this out there in hopes that you haven't heard it and I can actually possibly help you. Look into isometrics. You don't have to stand or lift weights you don't even have to move! You just tense your body and count for a few seconds then relax and just tense your different muscle groups, not everything. You burn calories and you don't have to exacerbate any areas of your body that hurt. We LOVE ya man and were pulling for you :)!!!

[@MichaelBrown-bf7zr]

I'm not overweight, but I am going through a very rough patch in my life right now, and have been for the last three years or so. I'm currently trying to break my cycle. I just wanted to let you know that regardless of how society generally looks down on people who are overweight, I totally agree with all the points you made about the obstacles they overcome on a day to day basis. Just wanted to let you know that these types of videos are what really give me the motivation to keep going with my struggle to break addiction, and I really respect you for uploading this and talking about personal subjects like this - knowing that some of the other ignorant comments below would inevitably come about. Hearing these stories really help me to put my life into perspective, because I know that what I'm dealing with wasn't necessarily a bad hand dealt (though I obviously have a very addictive personality), as with a lot of the unfortunate folks out there, I just made mistakes over and over again, and should be more grateful for what I have that's positive. Just wanted to thank you for putting this up, and let you know I really enjoy these story time videos haha. You seem like such a great guy, and as a fan, I know I'll one day be overwhelmed with joy knowing you reached your goal and succeeded at feeling content with yourself and achieving a healthy lifestyle - obviously through hard work and dedication that I know you can pull off. I know you didn't make this for "pity" and whatnot, but I promise that's not what this comment's about. I'm just rooting for ya, dude. Hang in there :)

[@winter1913]

Its fucking terrible, its nothing but the feeling of being a normal person trapped in a disgusting fucking sack of shit. Ive been overweight my entire life and have recently become handicapped, unable to walk much, barely able to take a shower by myself, barely able to stand for more than a few minutes. Its the worst aspect of my life right now and the biggest thing i want to change. Parents, for the love of god, please manage your kids eating habits, dont let them eat 2 or 3 snacks, or huge helpings of food for their meals. Dont let them get like this.

[@PoorPerson]

I could never dream of making fun of someone obese, personally I do not experience depression but I have witnessed family members that have. I cannot imagine the pain, and its even worse online I remember the one and one time I was ever bullied and someone called me weak, I ended pushing them down the stairs and broke his arm. I am thin and walk several miles everyday not for healthy reasons, but just because I like the outdoors and I am almost on the line of being way skinny. I found this channel in hopes of finding help for one of my friends in this type of situation. I seem to make it worse because in person rather than online I bring everyone's demons out of the closet when I am questioned especially in public. And my friend told me that makes it worse because I attract attention aka in the store, mall etc. Nice to see this video I suppose it helps me learn more about her life.

[@alphacause]

For people who think that obesity is purely a matter of being weak willed, ponder this. There are doctors, lawyers, engineers, entrepreneurs who have started lucrative enterprises, and college professors who are obese. These people, in order to accomplish all that they have accomplished in life, had to be enormously disciplined because you don't become a doctor, lawyer, engineer, an entrepreneur who has started lucrative enterprises, or a college professor without marshaling an extraordinary amount of discipline, and yet, even among such accomplished individuals, obesity persists. Secondly, ponder that, before the late 1970s, obesity was a relatively rare problem. Was there all of a sudden a collective loss of willpower across humanity near the end of the disco era? Both of these facts point to the fact that there is something more going on here than a character defect. There is something more going on here than a simple lack of willpower. It has more to do with a change in our food environment coupled with individuals who have addictions to food. As with other sorts of addictions, merely just berating an individual for not having enough willpower is an oversimplification of the problem.

[@archlord381]

***** But an oversimplification still applies, and being too fucking weak to not get a large order of fries and an extra soft drink is pretty fucking pathetic to me.

[@alphacause]

archlord381 That is easy to say if you don't have an addiction to these fattening substances. It would be like comparing the willpower of an alcoholic to a non-alcoholic, and stating that the non-alcoholic has stronger willpower and the alcoholic is just "weak", because the alcoholic can't step away from the bottle of scotch. However, since the non-alcoholic has far less desire for liquor in the first place, can this really be a fair comparison with respect to willpower? In order for a comparison to be fair between just who has "weak" will[power and who has "strong" willpower, you must be able to determine that both people are EQUALLY tempted by the same substance, and then one was able to overcome that EQUAL temptation. I would argue that obese people, like this guy, and unlike you and I, has an addiction to fattening food that is every bit as strong as an alcoholic's desire for liquor. The food is far more tempting to him than it is to you and I, and because of this chemical impulse, willpower has very little to do with the issue. It has more to do with biochemistry and a poor food environment, which makes it easy for this person to succumb to temptation. No one would live in a state of pain, immobility, and lack of energy, that comes along with being so large, if such a fate were merely determined by willpower. People like this need counseling, and possible medical intervention, not our derision.

[@rokkvi1]

***** people aren´t necessarily disciplined across the board or undisciplined across the board. Just like they aren´t necessarily smart or dumb across the board. Somebody can be totally disciplined when it comes to certain things, but out of control when it comes to other things as well as totally realistic and down to earth in some areas but delusional in others. I think you are also right about the environment having changed in a way that makes obesity more common.

[@tylers7991]

I'm glad you make videos like this. A lot of people won't understand what certain disorders are like. Especially addiction. It's easy for someone to say, stop eating cake, or drinking MTN dew, which I will never stop enjoying MTN dew, but you get the point. Having dealt with, and still am dealing with depression, it makes you wake up every day with a shit attitude, and it makes me hate life. To add to that, I was a Heroin addict for over 3 years, late highschool, until a few months ago. It drives me fucking crazy when people make jokes about something they know nothing about, and makes me wish I could give them a little taste of it so they can get an idea of what it feels like to have someone put you down day after day. I was bullied a lot as a kid, and not mentally, but beat up a lot. Shit ended quick when I fought back with the wrath of fuckin god, and nearly killed a kid. They don't understand the damage they do, and when they finally understand, they will most likely feel what the victim has felt.

[@CrozySpoN11]

I'm sure it was very painful for you when you were growing up because we all have been in school and understand how cruel/evil teenagers can be to others. But the fact that you still have grown up to a point in your life where you understand where you are and where you wish/want to get to. And my suggestion is keep going!!!!! Not for the Assholes who made fun of you, not for Anyone but YOU! You will slip up but dont let that get you down! Take Care Best of Luck and Focus on you!

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

After my husband died a dear physician friend suggested I get a fitness coach, because I was over 200 lbs. He recommended a woman who had been seriously overweight herself at one time. So I hired her for six months. Will never be a size 5, but a size 10-12 is healthy and fine for now. She helped me become a food snob. Now I LOVE fresh fruits, vegetables and like having friends who strive to be fit and healthy as well. Great support system. And NO not all of them are slender. But they are fit and healthy. Yep walking when carrying a lot of weight is HARD and painful. And I admit I HATE it at first. But then the endorphins kick in and the pain lessens and I am able to do five miles in an hour and a half. And yes its hard to realize that some foods I just cannot have. Like Dr Pepper. Dr Pepper is akin to a food allergy food for me so I have to avoid the stuff. And I simply have to make sure cookies, candies, bread are NOT in the home. Even if they are made with 'healthy' ingredients. So do what you can and celebrate the small steps. They say losing even ten pounds makes a difference. Thank you for your honesty.

Totally resonate cuz I used to have a porn addiction and it was not as bad, but you still sort of "need" to jack off after weeks and that can set it off. It's a vicious cycle; the more extreme you get, the harder it is to get balanced. take every piece of restored balance as a blessing. Your video really helped me to deal with my chronic insomnia. The patterns of illness are the same.

[@BarbiePenaUncensored]

I wonder if he has ever considered gastric bypass? Not saying it to hate on him, I am also a big person, and am possibly considering it too. Just curious...

[@misfit_94]

he needs to drop some pounds before

[@WayneTwitch]

+Barbie Pena Yes what Fel said they refused it to him until he losses more

[@edwinispro123]

he needs to loose a 100 pounds before they let him have the surgery

[@xavierhaymaker7383]

it's not gonna work if he can't keep it off

[@arbresnow401]

He will get the Gastric Bypass soon he said

[@denisesimpson591]

"skinny' doesn't necessarily=fit and healthy

[@FlashManinSpace]

Ever tried laughing your ass off? :D

[@xEDTHEDUCKx]

I know what you're saying! I always took my health for granted until I was recently diagnosed with cancer. I've had an op and they think they've got it but it puts a whole new perspective on things. Keep doing what you're doing Boogie, it'll come right for you :)

[@Emveddedmonk20]

If you can only handle a 1min walk, well that's better than none!

[@TamaChan180L]

How did you loose 45 pounds? I really wanna loose my goal is 63kg which means I have to loose around 66 pounds but is really difficult :(

[@godotfrued1212]

People with higher body fat % tend to lose weight faster because it's excess fat that they don't need and their body is reacting to exercise and dieting easier. For example someone who is 400 pounds will lose more weight over the same amount of time than someone who 200 pounds would.

[@TamaChan180L]

haha thats actually really helpful thanks :)

[@psionicinversion]

TamaChan180L that is true the heavier you are the easier it is to lose weight... the closer you get to your ideal body weight the harder it is to lose it so it starts off easy then gets alot harder as you close in to you ideal BMI

[@ValerieChowdhury]

It's hard to do it on your own. I couldn't, so I decided to get the RNY gastric bypass surgery. It's been 3 months and so far I'm down 60 lbs in 3 mos. It was worth it. Check out my WLS vlog and progress on KZbin at Valerie Chowdhury. Good luck to you.

[@CielPhantomhivexSebastian]

MY mom and sister got the gastric bypass. My mom was 600 at her highest, and is 180 now, my sister was 400 at her highest and 160 now. They are both still hard working, and maintaining when they know things like Thanksgiving or the winter months are coming (aka potentially eating poorly or little to no exercise). I wish you the best!

[@missgrannysmithapple3786]

Wow!

[@isurra]

Thanks for putting that all into words. I grew up really overweight and it's exactly as you say it is. Even after losing most of the weight, it's still a struggle, mentally and physically. It's nice to know I'm not alone. I know this videos a bit old but I hope it's all going well for you.

Stay strong hun. I'm so proud of the message you're sending on behalf of all those who were bullied, lonely and felt worthless at some point in their lives. Keep it up!!

[@RICARDOHERNANDEZ-mk1wk]

there is no difference bro i really whish really bad i was your friend i like people like u there is no difference between fat and skiny people i am skiny and i like fat people i really do i WHISH I WAS YOUR FRIEND and i feel bad for you because people make you feel bad and thats not good since you are gettin mentally damage but i am sorry about that but its ok dont worry because if i ever get to meet u or be your friend online-real life i will help u

[@MrSnake9419]

I like boogie but I hate how he uses bad things that have happened to him as an excuse for him not to try harder to lose weight. He has enough money to hire a professional to help him lose this weight but he seems like hes too lazy I mean you have to eat A LOT everyday to maintain the weight he is at. And before you rage at me and come to the rescue and try and give me bullshit reasons just realize that it's people like you enabling him to eat himself to death. I like you anyway boogie.

[@KingSlimeProductions]

Well, no one's ever satisfied. People are pigs, and find him funny because he's fat, and they use that to make them feel better about themselves. If he were skinny, we would be happy for him, but people (Not me) wouldn't find him as funny. Francis would be dead.

[@MrSnake9419]

Would you have an early life just to make people laugh on some website?

[@MrTBSC]

how do you actualy want to know this..you are just watching a video and are judging him on that..do you know the guy personaly? do you know what the exact issues are that keeps him in this condition? do you know what he tried and what he didn´t..i heavily doubt that and that line of "oh you ragepeople are what makes him bla" is just baseless and stupid beyond reason.. throwing random statements around prejudging and accusing others doesn´t do anything..you want to be helpful? then this is clearly not the way

[@MrTBSC]

Solidus "It IS people like you that make people like him end up on a slab I see it EVERYDAY" implying that you do know what i think of him or what he should do? you don´t have any idea of who i am or what/how i think of people ! again accusing others and beeing prejudice with no real basis "oh i met people that are bla .. so are you " "If you think I'm an asshole because ... " i think you are an prejudice idiot ... "Tell me wise one what can I do to be helpful?" stop talking bullshit and accusing people for reasons that are simply not true and you don´t even have proper evidence for would be a good start

[@Megaaabeard]

I confident he actually addressed everything in your comment quite well in the video. If you watch the video again you'll see he's listing out common excuses that he has had in the past, and reasons why it's hard to break the cycle. He actually says, 9:15, "I'm doing it now, I'm proud of myself for doing it." 46 pounds over 4 months sounds like he's on the right track. I'm happy he's on the right track and I hope he inspires people to do the same.

[@Eliaskto777]

Im all with you boogie, Im in LA culver city lets hang out, we can work out together....

[@uncle978]

Love you Francis! You are brave for making this video, but know that you don't ever have to explain yourself to others. Just as in every other facet of life, there will be people that are empathetic with you, compassionate towards you, and others will just straight up hate you. Like yourself, I was always chunkier than the other kids, which goes to show that (as newer research is beginning to prove), epigenetics and early childhood environment DO play a role in our body compositions for the rest of our lives! All these people trying to tell you to "count calories" and "try laxatives" are clearly ignorant of these types of issues. Please stay true to yourself and of course, always try to be as healthy and happy as you can be. Happy New Year. :)

[@dutchman12789]

U can start by cutting out the Mountain Dew and drink water

[@jeffreylcunningham5315]

he could go for a walk before he eats in the morning, take away sweets and soda and baaam weight loss, its hard to live carrying around that excess weight but you can change and make a life better for yourself.. physically so you don't have to worry about your health.. trust me you will die if you keep eating and drink soda..

[@tbtbtaylour]

This was 2 years ago, now he's married, and is on a big diet. He's going a great job.

[@jeffreylcunningham5315]

that's awesome but I'm just saying what worked for me

[@dpsfit]

Did u even watch the fucking video? He is trying to do the things u have said but he explains why its so hard for him to do that.

[@jeffreylcunningham5315]

bowlafterbowl I understand I was there to. I am not making fun him because I was over weight and sick and I was dying and I am still battling it now, if I can do it anyone can. Its going to be a long road but stick too it man... your doing an awesome job.

[@tavern2468]

the number one cause of death is living....

[@kaz7690]

256 people disliked for no reason

[@professoryakkington9691]

+Anoustic Ang I think the reason is that they didn't like the video. Yes, people with different opinions do exist.

[@jacobdeever2561]

I think they might of disliked because they think he's making excuses

[@chriscarey509]

Wayne 256 ppl disliked this video because they don't understand peoples situations.Noone sees how much we take life for granted.If we lived the way some other people lived we could see it but we are so infested with ourselves and our own responsibilities and pleasures we sit behind the screen and talk shit about others.

[@shtroizn]

Only now came across this video. Bravo! It takes guts to make such a candid video and talk about this issue. Myself - I have never had a weight problem, but I can totally relate to the hardships involved, not just the physical ones, but (perhaps especially) the mental ones. Love your Francis and Boogie videos. Wish you all the best and keep on fighting! It takes a lot of will power and often one cannot fight this alone. So get help from any available source. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

[@blaice7365]

Man, that sounds like a miserable life. Wish you better luck in your future.

[@wiziek]

Willpower, I don't how much willpower takes to eat 4 to 5 thousands callories a day. Weight isn't sneaking and hitting you in head like "boom you wake up and weight more then few adult people".

[@GameDogLeader21]

Speak English?

[@wiziek]

Do you read english?

[@RandomUserOnTheInterWebs]

wiziek You have no fucking idea.

[@wiziek]

Of course I don't because I didn't eat 5 thousand callories a day and I don't take two seats on airplane.

[@wiziek]

Should I eat too much?

[@Arrivealive0]

You should try Sumo Wrestling.

[@liamthompson3438]

Wow so immature

[@Amin-lo3fu]

At the end of the day your just a sad troll who tried to make people sad... Boogie is properly 10x for success full than you so I wouldn't be talking. I love you boogie! No homo ofc

[@zackalzar1]

he make a small joke people. you all are a 1000X worse for telling him to die. troll or not.

[@rext5438]

Everyone treats a joke as a terrible murder.

[@dshoec]

There is nothing better than being skinny healthy and happy.

[@pepsicola6232]

Being skinny isn't healthy either bro.

[@WSFM_Rex]

Define skinny

[@nickgenov]

Why hasn't he made any progress in over 3 years?

[@doumielle]

3 years is nothing man.It passes so fast and you dont know what he has to deal with.Im clinically depressed.My mom told me the same thing.''why havent you made progress?Its been 3 years'' i used to believe I was doing nothing until someone kept telling me ''I always assume your doing your best'' wich helped me realise although the progress has been scattered all over the place and i've hit many walls and it doesnt seem like anything has changed.I was doing my best.So im going to assume that Boggie2988 is doing his best.

[@Joanna12364]

Your gorgeous, marry me

[@feelsokayman3959]

Boogie is the man with probably the most inner will, mental strenght and stamina i have ever met. Every single video of you inspires me once again to be happy with my great and super awesome life that i always lament over. Big fan

[@duxnihilo]

I have friends who are nowhere near as big as you and their PT's said walk is a no-go. Stationary bicycle is easier on your knees. Unfortunately, you'd have to either go to the gym or spend some crazy money, because those cheap ones wouldn't work.

[@tobiramasenju1314]

Boogie if you keep losing 40 lbs a year you'll be 240 lbs by 2018 I know it still to big for a man but at least you'll have lost most of your wheight

[@MrWarrior8890]

no?

It depends on your height and build dude

[@user-qy8dv9qg3j]

I'm very thankful to have discovered your channel (I'm late to the party, I realize!) I'm catching up on all these wonderful videos. I am in awe of your inner strength to come on here and talk so openly. Thank you!

[@Dan0101010101010]

Hey bud, have you ever tried abusing laxitives? Then you can eat as much junk as you like and your body wont have time to asorb most of the caleries!? Sure its probably not great for you, but its probably a damn sight better that weighing 500 + pounds. Also you could do it with prune juice (mixed with lemonade or something) slightly healthier that way. Or senacot or something. Sure its gonna be lame crapping all the time, but you could set up a gaming rig on your toilet. xD Also you will probably get to live alot longer and you know what that means! More time for Pizza and W.O.W! You have probably thought of this but maybe you havnt or maybe you should think of it again or try it? I mean its easy to do, takes no effort, and the benefits far outweigh the negatives. Also if you have to go to work maybe you can get some kind of disability benefits, that way you wouldn't have to crap at work so much and fill the toilets with BBQ flavored methane gas. If I didnt have such a high metabolism id probably be obese too. I thought our minds might think alike so maybe this might work. Good luck bro!

[@gwenmckee5859]
